The Passport, Immigration and Nationality Office counter will open for an additional hour each day from next week.

Counter services will operate from 10am to 2pm – Monday to Friday.

But the suspension of the 5-day Express passport service has been extended due to an increase in passport applications.

The Manx Government said: “The Passport Service continues to offer the Standard Passport Service which can be up to 20 working days and the temporary passport service taking up to 1 working day. Please note that the temporary passport is not a biometric passport and may not be accepted in some countries.”

“If you have any overseas travel planned in the next month, please take time to check the expiry dates on your Isle of Man (Variant British) Passport so you can take action in good time if you need to.”
