MOFA allows public to submit passport renewal applications at TaoyuanAirport (2013/08/26)
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The general public is taking advantage of a new benefit that was previously reserved for those with connections in high places. All citizens can now apply for emergency passport renewals at
TaoyuanAirport, in the wake of reports that Vice President Wu Den-yih’s grandson was given this VIP service last week.

Everyone is busy because last Friday, Vice President Wu Den-yih's grandson had his passport renewed at the airport within one hour. After this news was made public, many citizens were hoping to use the same expedited service.

“There’s a precedent. (Before) the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said there wasn’t enough time, but it was able to do it in time for this person.”

Over the past two years, the average daily number of rushed passport renewals at the airport was just 0.44. However, on Sunday alone, this office received 13 applications.

“Before, we didn’t know we had this right. Now that we know, we will definitely make use of it.”

If this high-profile passport incident means people can enjoy an additional service from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I think it’s a good outcome.

The reason Vice President Wu Den-yih’s grandson was granted emergency passport renewal was “leisure trip abroad.” Criticism led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to offer the same service to people without high connections, but how will four staff working in this office deal with the onslaught of passport applications?

機場可辦照

副總統吳敦義外孫的申辦護照事件,引起輿論撻伐,逼的原本不開放一般民眾申請護照的桃園機場領務局辦事處,開始受理護照申請,光是昨天一天,就有13件申請,今天一大早,諮詢電話更是不斷。

桃機領務局辦事處的人員仔細核對證件,趕緊幫要出國的民眾,辦理護照。另一頭,機場櫃檯人員,也是忙著裝訂文件,審核蓋章。

雙手忙得停不下來,因為823日,副總統吳敦義的外孫在機場申辦護照,一個小時就能拿到的事件爆發後,許多民眾也想比照辦理。

[[旅行社領隊]]
因為已經開了一個先例了,外交部如果說來不及,那什麼人來得及

旅客在機場緊急申辦護照,過去兩年平均1天只有0.44件,但光是825日一天,機場就接到13件臨櫃申請。

[[民眾]]
以前我們不知道有這個權利,那現在知道了,當然要是有這個機會,你就會去利用它嘛

[[立委() 羅淑蕾]]
辦護照事件,讓我們國人得到外交部更額外的服務的話,也是好事一樁"

吳副總統孫子以出國遊玩為「緊急申請案」開了先例,外交部因為輿論壓力決定一般民眾也能給予方便,勢必將忙翻編制內只有4人的辦事處。
