Indian Consulate in Dubai issues Tatkal passport same day

Indian expats in Dubai and northern Emirates will now be able to get passports issued on the same day under certain conditions, including a higher fee.

The same day issuance service for tatkal passports can be availed only if the application is submitted before 12 noon at the office of BLS International, the outsourced service provider for Indian passport and visa applications, in Al Khaleej Centre in Bur Dubai. You will get the passport by evening.

Service is available from January 12, at its main centre in Al Khaleej Centre. Passports will be ready for collection by 6.30pm.

Under the tatkal scheme, passports can be availed with a fee of Dh855 for 36 pages and Dh950 for 60 pages.

Regular passports are issued at Dh285 for 36 pages and Dh380 for 60 pages.
The initiative is expected to benefit those requiring emergency issuance of passports, including those rushing back from the airports after realising that their passport had either expired or do not have enough validity for their travel
The regular passports are being issued within two to three days after the integration of the interface of the mission with that of the passport authority in India.

Since 2003, India observes January 9 as Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) to celebrate the Indian diaspora across the world. The day commemorates the return of India’s Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa to Mumbai in 1915.
