RE: New passport design in Austria. Interesting signature on the backside. How much does issuing a passport cost in your country?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
In Venezuela it costs $200 to renew it and about $400 (dollars to take it out for the first time). But putting the price aside, what is really complex is the process you have to go through to obtain it.
You have to request an appointment through a website that is always busy and you will rarely have the chance to get a number that is assigned to you to go to the office on a specific day and at a specific time to complete the procedure.
And when you have that number you must pay the $200 in a bank and then send it with the buyer and then by SMS they send you a message telling you the day, time and office of your appointment.
The process is infinitely long and there are people who have taken up to 3 years to obtain a passport.
It's a nightmare.
Oh wow, thats expensive, insane.
yeah, is sick, thats why for us Venezuelans, is so hard to leave the country.(struggles from 3rd world), but thanks to hive, we have some chance and can breath a bit of fresh air!.
