  "account": "The Pakistani government has begun issuing electronic passports, known as e-passports, to citizens residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This service commenced on October 23, 2026, at the Embassy of Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai. The cost for obtaining an e-passport varies depending on several factors, such as the number of pages, passport validity, and processing speed. For instance, a 36-page passport valid for five years will cost AED 145 (which equates to approximately Rs. 11,020 at an exchange rate of AED 1 to Rs. 76) for standard processing. Should an applicant require urgent processing, the fee increases to AED 235 (or roughly Rs. 17,920). The highest fee, AED 2,540 (approximately Rs. 193,040), applies to an urgent 10-year, 72-page passport, which is being replaced after a second loss. Existing machine-readable Pakistani passports will remain valid until their respective expiration dates. It is advised that applicants apply for passport renewal only when they have less than six months left on their current passports. To be eligible for an e-passport, applicants must provide their first and last names. The fees for obtaining a lost e-passport are also contingent on various factors, including the number of pages, validity, processing speed, and whether it is the first or second reported loss.",
