Hello Amadou and All,
Hello Amadou and All,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
If you got your passport for less than $100.00 you were lucky! I applied for a new passport in August of 2003. I paid $153.00($135.00 for the passport and $18.00 for the id card) and they said it would take 2 months. It actually took 2 months and 2 weeks or so.
I believe the embassy may be adding their own processing fee, which may explain the discrepancies between the prices.
On the web site of the Mali embassy in DC this is what they indicate:
Passports
Important information
A consular Identity card is required whenever a new passport is issued
Two (2) completed application forms, Two (2) recent passport size photographs
An application fee of $18
NB: the total fee for a new passport will be $153
Documents required for new passports
a)A certified copy of the birth certificate
b)Two (2) completed application forms
c)Three (3) recent passport size photographs
d)The copy of the old passport
e))An application fee of $135 in money order, cash or check (no personal check)
The passport application will be processed in two (2) months

Je crois que la soeur Fatoumata m' a envoye en prive par erreur sa reaction au probleme de passeport. Je crois que son intervention merite d' etre lu par tout le monde puisque le probleme nous concerne tous. J' espere que d' autres partagerons leurs experiences pour que nous puissions mesurer l' ampleur du probleme afin de decider les mesures adequats. Je sais que MaliWatch a deja initie des actions concernant la duree du visa (felicitation a maliwatch pour le travail de fourmis qu' elle abat sans tambour ni trompette).
Fatoumata dit avoir paye "environ $150 U.S." a New York pour son passeport. Elle n' a pas precise le moment. Vers juillet 2002 j' ai paye moins de $ 100 pour le renouvellemnt de mon passeport, et cela c' etait passe apres la mise en circulation des nouveaux passeports . Les frais ont-ils change?
