Blue Passport Privilege vs Pakistan’s Weak Green Passport | Habib Akram V-Log #293

July 11, 2026 | Habib Akram V-Log | Episode 293 In today’s vlog, Habib Akram examines the growing controversy surrounding Pakistan’s blue official passport and the demand to extend this privilege to former parliamentarians and their families. The discussion begins with questions over why members of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly reportedly want lifelong blue passports not only for themselves but also for their spouses and children. A fresh proposal presented before a Senate panel has now raised an even bigger question: should former members of the Senate and National Assembly, their spouses and children under the age of 28 also receive official passports? Habib Akram explains the difference between Pakistan’s green ordinary passport, blue official passport and maroon diplomatic passport. He also explores the privileges associated with official passports, including easier visa processing, separate immigration counters and faster airport clearance. But the real issue is much larger: why does Pakistan’s political elite seek special travel privileges instead of strengthening the ordinary green passport carried by millions of citizens? The vlog also discusses Pakistan’s weak position in international passport rankings and asks why an ordinary Pakistani faces visa restrictions, long immigration queues and greater scrutiny while the country’s lawmakers seek lifelong official privileges for themselves and their families.
