The Indian diaspora in UAE will be the first in the world to experience the enhanced benefits of Global Passport Seva Programme (GPSP 2.0), the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi announced on Oct. 27.
The GPSP 2.0 aims to provide citizens with enhanced security and streamlined international travel. It will feature the much-hyped 'e-passports'. E-passports are embedded with a chip containing digitised data of the passport holders, which will enable smooth clearance at Immigration.

Additionally, the new system also offers greater ease of access to applicants in application processes including uploading documents before visiting BLS centres. It also provides for minor corrections in the application forms without retyping the application forms at the BLS centers.
The new system came into effect on Oct. 28 and is touted as the Indian passport's big leap in aligning with global travel technology standards, making passport services more transparent, user-friendly and efficient, while ensuring improved immigration clearance speeds and improved data security.
Steps to Apply:
⦁ Register by clicking on the “Register” link.
⦁ Login with the registered Login ID and Password using the “Login” link.
⦁ On the Applicant Home Page, click on respective option to generate a new application.
⦁ After successful submission, take a printout of the online submitted form.
⦁ Book an appointment through the link given below and visit respective center of BLS International along with the required supporting documents.
The Embassy also highlighted in its statements that the existing portal will cease to function in the UAE by Oct. 28. Additionally, applicants who have completed the application process on the older site will have to complete their applications again in PSP 2.0 before visiting BLS centres.
