There was widespread outrage across social media today when a new schedule of passport fees was posted on Facebook. It has every appearances fo being official and promised passport fees increased as much as 400% for a regular 10 year passport - up from $50.00 to $200.00.
But, is it official? Well, no, not yet, at least. Minister of Immigration Eamon Courtneay is quoted as saying "Cabinet has not finalised the fees." Other sources tell us Cabinet is still deliberating those fees. But, we know that e-passports being introduced later this month - some changes are inevitable - and an increase in fees is not unlikely. We'll keep you posted.
