Renew Pakistani Passport In Dubai- Fee For 10 & 5 Years
Are you a Pakistani living in Dubai or anywhere in the UAE and your passport is about to expire? You can renew it without travelling to Pakistan, either online through the DGIP portal or in person at the Pakistan Consulate in Dubai or the Embassy in Abu Dhabi. This guide covers the latest 2026 fees in dirhams, the documents you need and the step-by-step process.
What Changed in 2026: E-Passports in the UAE
Pakistan’s missions in the UAE now issue electronic passports (e-passports), which have a chip that stores the holder’s details and biometrics. On 23 October 2026, the Pakistan Embassy in the UAE published a new fee schedule in UAE dirhams. The 100-page passport is no longer offered, so you can choose between 36 and 72 pages.
The missions advise applying for renewal only when your current passport has less than six months of validity left.
Pakistani Passport Renewal Fee in UAE 2026
| Pages | Validity | Normal fee | Urgent fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 pages | 5 years | AED 145 | AED 235 |
| 36 pages | 10 years | AED 215 | AED 355 |
| 72 pages | 5 years | AED 260 | AED 425 |
| 72 pages | 10 years | AED 390 | AED 635 |
Fee for a Lost Passport
If your passport is lost, the fee is double the normal rate the first time and four times the rate for a second loss. For example, a 36-page, 5-year passport costs AED 290 (normal) after a first loss and AED 580 after a second loss. Lost-passport cases must be handled in person at the mission.
| Passport | First loss (normal / urgent) | Second loss (normal / urgent) |
|---|---|---|
| 36 pages, 5 years | AED 290 / AED 470 | AED 580 / AED 940 |
| 36 pages, 10 years | AED 430 / AED 710 | AED 860 / AED 1,420 |
| 72 pages, 5 years | AED 520 / AED 850 | AED 1,040 / AED 1,700 |
| 72 pages, 10 years | AED 780 / AED 1,270 | AED 1,560 / AED 2,540 |
Fees are set by the Government of Pakistan and can change. Check the official fee page of the Pakistan Embassy UAE or the DGIP website before you pay. Children under 15 can usually only get a 5-year passport.
