Hope this development has been communicated with the embassies here and outside the country. The difference in the number of pages in our national passport may send some wrong signals to the various embassies and may result in unnecessary Visa application declines. The ministry should inform all embassies, that all the passports ,both 32 and 48 pages re valid and approved by the state.
