If you’re planning to apply for or renew your passport soon, here’s some good news for you! The government is not expected to increase passport fees in the upcoming fiscal year 2025–26.
According to a recent update from the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports, there is no proposal under discussion for a fee hike in the new federal budget. Officials shared that since the passport fees were already revised and increased last year, there’s no need for another change right now.
This news comes as a relief for many citizens, especially at a time when the prices of public services are rising across the country. At least for now, the cost of getting or renewing your passport will stay the same.
