ME Singapore announces 272 passport renewals on 8-12 July

The Myanmar Embassy to Singapore has announced the list of 272 people who have difficulty in obtaining an online appointment and have passports or stay permits with six months or less validity to renew their passports from 8 to 12 July 2024.
They are selected from those who have enlisted to the embassy’s WhatsApp, and there will be 55 each on 8 and 9 July and 54 each on 10, 11 and 12 July.
Applicants are required to arrive at the embassy at 10 am, bringing with them originals and copies of their passport and CSC card, complete renewal forms, and one photo on the specified date. If they miss that date, they need to apply again.
The embassy has appointed no person, company nor agent to provide services and dates, and applications with fake documents or via brokers to the embassy’s WhatsApp will not be accepted.
A person can submit the application two times a day, but if one continues submitting it in the following days, that applicant may be put at the back, so the embassy advised not to send it several times in the following days to avoid unnecessary delay. Applicants can be included in the list in about three weeks, it said.
If one who submitted for 23 June 2023 (special programme) is not included in the list, they need to check the list of 400 people with more than six months of passport validity described for a weekly business day programme in WhatsApp, it said.
As Myanmar nationals in Singapore who are older than 65 years are given priority for passport renewal, they are not required to make online appointments at the embassy’s website and WhatsApp, and they can come to the embassy in person in the morning for renewal service, it said. — MT/ZN/ED
