Re: Travelling to pakistan - MRP
At almost every Pakistani embassy in the world. My wife had a manual passport issued at the embassy here in Vienna. Last year we were planning a stopover in Dubai, I called up the Embassy and asked them what we would have to do to get an MRP. The guy replied: “Aap ko Frankfurt jaana parhe ga.” I was like: “Seriously???”
The reason is: Currently there are only three Pakistani Embassies in Europe that have the equipment to take a digital photograph and digital fingerprints. So only these three embassies accept applications for MRPs: London, Rome and Frankfurt. All other embassies in Europe are still issuing the manual ones.
We ended up not stopping over in Dubai and got a new MRP for my wife during our stay in Pakistan. Had the Dubai stopover this year then.
