Indian Government has introduced e-Passport for the UAE residents. I got to know about this through Gulf Today newspaper on Friday morning. This is indeed wonderful news for Indian expats. Even the process of applying passport has become easy for us. We don’t need to depend on typing centre for this. And renewal has become more easy too. Now no need to fill in the whole details again for renewal until some changes occur. I also got to know that immigration process will become smooth and faster for us. We don't need to wait much now at the immigration counter.
I appreciate our government for always coming up with new advancement. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always embraced latest technology in almost every field be it financial transaction or education department. Now, everything is digital in India. I give full credit to our prime minister for always looking forward. I remember when I had left India for the first time 20 years ago, immigration process would take little time but now it takes less than a minute for one passenger. This is called keeping the pace with the world.
