Although the 13th has been declared a special public holiday, it has been decided to keep the regional offices including the head office of the Department of Immigration and Emigration open as usual.
The Department of Immigration and Emigration states that although this day has been declared as a special holiday for government offices, essential services should be maintained without any hindrance.
These days a large number of people are waiting in front of the Immigration and Emigration Department offices with the intention of going abroad and some are seen waiting in queues for days.
