Sticker visas, online passport applications introduced

Department of Immigration and Emigration yesterday introduced a sticker instead of a rubber stamp to issue visa, Internal Affairs, North Western Development and Cultural Affairs Ministry said.

The introduction of the new visa system would reduce illegal activities such as fake visas, change of information and copying would be reduced.

Additionally the Department also introduced an online passport application system.

Two British tourists were issued the sticker visa, during a ceremony held to inaugurate both systems.(DS)
