Good afternoon, I am a seafarer from a cruise line, was sent home due to pandemic and lost my job. It has been a year already and now cruise industry has opened slowly. I need to renew my passport as it will expire within 7 months. Most of the manning agency will not accept passport validity atleast 1 year below. I have two kids and a wife to support. I need employment. With your generous heart, please provide me a reasonable appointment period hopefully with in 2 to 3 weeks waiting time or sooner. I emailed DFA for appointment and was told next available slot is by September 9 onwards.
