Only half the number of Mongolians
applied for passports in 2008 as compared to 2007.
This was confirmed by M.Nyamsuren,
head of the Foreign Passport Department of the State Civil Registration
and Information Center.
"This could be the effect
of the financial and economic crisis," Nyamsuren said.
Prior to 2008, 400-500 new
passports were issued every day in Mongolia and during peak periods
this number would go up to 800, according to officials.
