‘IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD A PASSPORT, I’M HUMBLY ASKING YOU NOT TO GO FOR IT – Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey
The Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey has implored Ghanaians who cannot afford a passport to forgo applying for one.
She stated that since the Ghanaian passport is no longer a main form of identity, not all Ghanaians should obtain one, particularly if they do not require it.
According to 3news.com Mrs. Botchway made this statement in response to negative public perceptions of the hike in passport prices that went into effect on April 1, 2024.
Per the newly implemented fees, applicants will pay GHC500 for a 32-page standard and GHC644 for a 48-page standard booklet.
In the same vein, applicants opting for the 32-page expedited service will pay GHC700 and GHC800 for the 48-page expedited service.
