Made it pretty clear on how the virus originated. Yeah, that was a brilliant piece. Slowly but surely, people are coming to agree to the possibility of it being lab-made, something which was discarded as conspiracy theory by many last year.

Right Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 I just realised this morning that my passport is expiring in 2 weeks. I know I wouldn’t need it in foreseeable future for travel but don’t want to let it expired. Anyone got theirs renewed recently, especially in lockdown?

Register your name on the portal, select upto 5 dates that you prefer. Daily Draw will be made and selected ones get a slot on dates they chose.

I just applied for reissue. I was getting dates only after lockdown ending, 7th June onwards. So I guess, it is still closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends who are going overseas for education are looking for visa appointments 3 times a day and the closest one available is in March 2022. All of the rest have already been booked.

I think this is the reason, they probably have restricted to far fewer slots, to maintain social distancing and all. Passport offices are pretty crowded usually. This will be my 3rd passport, they could've made it online. Used my existing biometric.... Edited May 23, 2021 by Right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to get it renewed before it expires. Less pain. Mine was expiring in 2020 but I had it updated in 2019. Put my updated photo and 1 more thing I don't remember. It was a perfect excuse. Every time, the passport is updated with something, they extend around 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a minutephysics video that explains this very well. N95 is a mask rating that means the mask blocks 95% of the medium sized particles. There are also N99 masks that block 99%.
