ME to S’pore approves PP extensions for over 300 people next week

Myanmar Embassy to Singapore announced that more than 300 persons will be approved for passport extension next week.
Among applicants who are eligible for an extension of less than 14 months and applied as of 9 to 13 September, 60 persons are slated on 9, 10 and 11 September, 61 persons on 12 September, and a further 60 persons on 13 September, it said.
Applicants will have to arrive by 9 am with an original passport and Identity Card, copies of the passport data page and front and back of IC, an extension form and a photo required. If the prescribed schedule is over, further application needs to be submitted again, it said.
Fake documents or making submissions through agents won’t be considered for an extension, and the embassy warned that any private service company or agent are not permitted to provide this service and make a waiting list for submitting documents to the embassy’s WhatsApp.
For submissions to the embassy’s WhatsApp, about two submissions can be made per day, but the embassy reminds submitters that there will be no more submissions on the following days; if not, they will be moved behind the waiting list. Applicants should watch whether they are included in the list that will be announced on the embassy’s website in a week.
Myanmar nationals aged 65 years and above don’t need to seek an appointment date, and will be considered a priority. Those who have difficulty seeking an appointment date if they have an emergency can directly apply for a walk-in and come in the morning in person. — MT/ZS/ED
