ISLAMABAD – A new passport fee system has been introduced for Pakistanis in Oman, starting May 1, 2026, bringing more than just updated charges. Alongside revised fees, the embassy has introduced strict penalties for lost passports, making even a small mistake potentially expensive and stressful.
Embassy of Pakistan in Oman introduced a new passport fee structure along with strict penalty rules. The changes will officially come into effect from May 1, 2026, and losing your passport could now cost you dearly.
New Passport Fees in Riyal
| Passport Type | Validity | Pages | Normal Fee | Urgent Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passport | 5 years | 36 pages | 12 Omani Riyals | 19 Omani Riyals |
| Passport | 10 years | 36 pages | Starting from 17 Omani Riyals | — |
The embassy rolled out strict penalties that escalate quickly:
- First-time loss: Applicants must pay double the original fee
- Second-time loss: The cost jumps to four times the original fee
If a 100-page urgent passport is lost for the second time, the replacement fee can shoot up to 208 Omani Riyals (Rs1.5Lac in PKR).
Officials are urging Pakistani nationals to treat their passports with extreme care. Even a single mistake could lead to hefty fines, added stress, and delays in getting a new document.
