My question to Pakistani authorities is how are the militants from Arab countries particularly Yemen able to enter Pakistan and create problems without valid papers.may be Am naive to assume that borders are not porous.

“As a result, we have been unable to make payments to the Security Printing Corporation and it has reduced the supply of booklets from the required 15,000 to 5,000 per day.”

Thank you sidra. According to their website the processing time for urgent is 7 working days and for normal it is around 21 days. I am in a fix now should I get my passport renewed in Pakistan as I have already booked my return flight so need to be sure if my passport will be renewed before that time. Thats why I need to be sure of the processing time. If any one has more information, can you please share it.
Many thanks
Waqar

This is just wrong, as citizens of this Country having a valid passport is our basic right. The government is failing to provide this right to its citizens and the ministers are roaming with protocols in luxury cars. Sad state of affairs.

If you ‘pay’ them for the ‘lamination sheet’ you will get it done in a day, or within hours.

not everyone who gets a passport goes overseas.
