I am trying to email my appeal for a lost passport. I tried sending it to Fsmgov.org but its not working.
No one ever checks the site. If you will notice, the FSM Government site is not kept up to date, it still lists hotels that are no longer, still shows the wrong airline, etc.
In my opinion, the best way is to send your application for a replacement passport to a relative on PNI who can manage it for you. Or, send to your nearest FSM Consulate office and have them manage it for you. Lastly, you can do it through the mail directly to the Immigration office in Palikir. The last way can take longer. Personally I lost faith in that way as in the past my payment I included was "lost" and nobody bothered to contact me. My application (sans the payment) sat on someone's desk for 6 months. I sent another application in care of a friend and it was done in 2 weeks.
Is there any possible that I can apply a FSM passport? I am a PILINO citizen married to FSM for almost 10 years we have 2 kids.
