depends- this is an international thing. so if other countries need it for u to pass through then it have to be implemented, just like machine readable passports became mandatory.

Exactly. Many other CARIBBEAN countries have already eliminated this and have their entire immigration process online. Don't know why we still giving out form on the plane.

Any news on e-Passports? I have 1 or 2 blank pages remaining and need to apply for a new passport urgently. Next appointment in POS is early May.

Also, whats the current wait time to get a passport in hand once you submit?

st7 · Postby **st7** » March 6th, 2025, 11:51 pm

4 weeks according to a simple google search...

Immigration offices are notorious for having delays beyond the information you get from a "simple google search".

My last renewal I waited 2 months, prior to that I got my passport in 1 week.

I'm asking here because the community forum can give more real time information based on experience, but thanks for the sass and the google link.

The online form would save some money.

Any idea the cost to print forms for both departure and arrival?

you keep confusing an opinion as a fact. you also are not in any authoritarian position to convey what you said as a fact. you forget your place - you are just a level 1 public servant pleb.

keep your out-of-topic incessant complaints to your union rep, and get back to work.

Jason,

We talking about the online immigration form.

With regard to all the other forms, that’s another issue where money is being wasted.

Saving money when and where we can is a priority. And at this stage, saving money to put towards investments to generate money to then pay owed salaries etc.

Increasing salaries and paying backpay is not the priority at this stage of the economy…..money has to be made first.
