Nepalese passport-making service clients are flocking to the passport-related ‘Ghumti camp’ in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
There is a crowd of around 400 Nepali service recipients daily in the camp run at the Lisbon office of the Non-Resident Nepalese Association of Portugal. In the camp that started last Friday, the passport department in Kathmandu and the Nepali embassy in France have provided services
The team said that the ‘biometric’ details for more than two thousand electronic passports (e-passports) have been collected in the camp till Wednesday. Moti Bahadur Shrees, the team head and director of the department, informed that the service has been extended by one more day until August 12 due to the high number of customers and the number of people making passports.
The mobile camp has been coordinated and facilitated by Nepali organizations active here, including the non-resident Nepali Consulate General in Lisbon, the Non-Resident Nepali Association in Portugal.
