Mohammad Shoaib Baryalai, Head of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced during a briefing on the ministry’s annual achievements that nearly 250,000 visas were issued last year to citizens of 176 countries.
He noted that this figure reflects a 60 percent increase in visa issuance compared to previous years.
Baryalai also stated that the Ministry will soon restart operations at its passport printing center in Bonn, Germany, following a four-year pause.
