Cool. I think mine expires next year (need to check).

I'm happy with anything that saves me money!

Still a bit more than applying locally plus you have to tack on the courier fees. As a cynic who thought it wouldn't go down at all, it is an step in the right direction.

Good news, plus this: Additionally, you can now apply online for your passport and track your application if you pay by credit card.

Just too late for me. :frown:

I held out as long as I could hoping for the price to come down or a trip home to be feasible but no luck. :thumbdown:

Bit too late for me, I'm afraid, but something from the government getting cheaper? Surely some civil servant ticked the wrong box on something or other!
