ME Singapore invites complaints on passport renewal overcharging

The Myanmar Embassy to Singapore has announced that people seeking passport renewals and renewal appointments may file complaints if they are overcharged.

The embassy informed that Myanmar nationals who have their passport valid for 14 months can request an appointment for renewal by contacting the embassy’s WhatsApp numbers +65 81748993 and +65 82468581, but it has been reported that payments had to be made for getting appointments, and it urged people to help each other among nationals.

If a fee is charged for the passport appointment, the name of the recipient, proof of payment, and phone numbers can be sent to the embassy’s WhatsApp number +65 81748991 and cpu.mesingapore@gmail.com. Moreover, service-seekers can immediately report to the consular and other officers at the embassy in case of overcharging.

The embassy stated that only the renewal of passports requires an appointment, and for the rest of the consular services, no appointment is required, and visitors can come between 9:30 am and noon during the opening days.
