Lost passport process

     Passports are very important for anyone traveling abroad, as staying in a foreign country requires an official identity document. However, during a trip, if an unexpected event occurs and a traveler needs to replace their passport and transfer stamps to the new one, because of the loss of the passport, the required documents and procedures for getting the previous stamps transferred are as follows:

     Prepare an application form, a copy of the police report (when you reported to the police that your passport was lost), a copy of the old passport with photo (if any), a copy of a new passport, and a letter from the embassy to the Immigration Office requesting cooperation for the Immigration Office to copy the entry stamp in the new passport.

Procedures 

  • The foreigner meets an officer at the passport replacement service counter, Sub-Division 2, Immigration Division 1, to submit the application and fill in details, such as first name, last name, passport number, date, month, year of entering the Kingdom and flight;

  • The officer checks the details and accuracy, as well as validity of the passport or document used in lieu of a new passport; the police report is required at this time;

  • The officer examines evidence of travel into the Kingdom.

  • When the information of entry into the Kingdom is found to be correct, the officer will proceed to copy the entry stamp for the foreigner.

     In the event that the foreigner has applied for an extension of stay in the Kingdom or has a residence in the Kingdom, he or she must go to the officer at the department related to the visa, or Sub-Division 1, Immigration Division 1, as the case may be, for a copy of the residence permit and wait for the results of consideration for the application for residence in the Kingdom. 

     In addition, in the event that an extension of stay in the Kingdom has been applied for, an application can be made at the immigration checkpoint where the last application for the visa extension was submitted.
