Denmark Invalidates Renewed Passports of Afghans
Danish media reported that as of September 18, 2024, the country will no longer recognise the renewed passports of Afghans. According to reports, Afghans who have renewed passports must apply for a new one.
The Danish Migration Agency has said that Afghans with residence permits must have passports.
The Danish government's move means that Afghan citizens in the country will have to go to an office under the supervision of the Taliban to get a new passport.
It has been said that Afghans can only get a foreign passport if they prove that they cannot get a new one.
According to local media reports, if Afghans need to return to Afghanistan to get a new passport, the Migration Agency agrees.
In August this year, the Taliban's Foreign Ministry called on Afghans and citizens living in Europe who want to receive consular services to refer to the group's missions in Europe. The ministry mentioned its aligned missions in Spain, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Munich, Germany.
