UK Passports Made in Germany
My passport expires in June....went onto the Doha Brit Embassy website. Looks as if I can get this renewed in Doha up to 16th May only. After that, all passports have to be sent to Dusseldorf. Now that really makes sense!
I cant believe its cheaper to have a passport office in Germany. Looking at other embassy websites in the Gulf....looks like the good old days of local renewal is gone this year for all. I cant understand the Dusseldorf connection?
If you have to send the passports to Europe, then why are the UK government not supporting UK employment I wonder? UKPA or a London address would have been more appropriate....it looks like another case of madness. I cant ever see the Germans having to send their passports to Cardiff or the French to Birmingham etc etc It makes us the laughing stock of Europe. Sounds like an HP sauce (now made in Netherlands) to me.
