“To support the travel requirements of Kenyans seeking job opportunities outside the country, DIS has set up dedicated Migrant Labour counters to fast-track passport applications,” read the statement in part.
“Applicants seeking this service must attach the relevant proof to support the application.”
Meanwhile, the department announced that it was setting up new offices across the country to enhance service delivery for Kenyans.
New offices are already operational in Kericho and Bungoma.
“Additional regional offices will soon be opened in Garissa, Nyeri and Machakos. Guided by the demand for services, consideration for more offices will be extended to other counties,” the department noted.
On the other hand, the department revealed that 60,000 passports remained uncollected. Therefore, those who had applied for their travel documents were urged to pick them up from the respective offices.
