Today, the longest passport validity period is five years. However, now in an effort to make things easier for the people, the Ministry of Home Affairs has stated that it is ready to extend the validity period of passports up to 10 years.
This partnership is an extension of the research and engagement that has been carried out related to this matter before. Several countries are ready to offer passports with a validity period of up to 10 years, including Singapore and Indonesia.
With this latest partnership, KDN is seen to be ready for the offer, but the implementation date has not yet been announced. Perhaps we will hear more about this in the near future.
A passport with a 10-year validity period is expected to come with a larger number of pages, and may cost a little more than a 5-year passport offering.
