Good day, I just wondering if we (seafarers and offshore workers) can request for additional pages in our passport. As you maybe aware, seafarers and offshore workers normally work out of the country frequently (normally 4 weeks on and 4 weeks). We need to renew our passport because of no more pages available and not because it is expired. They have extended the expiration but didn't add more pages on it. FYI: MARINA (Maritime Industry Authority) introduce more pages on our seamans book (SIRB) as soon as they extend the validation to 10 years. It does make sense. Thank you. Marion Tabing
