Immigration Office Palapye

Immigration Office Palapye is a government office in Palapye, Central District, Botswana, run by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. The department sits within the Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs. The Government of Botswana's service pages state that immigration services are provided at the department's headquarters, at regional and district immigration offices and at missions abroad. They include applications for Botswana passports, extensions to the permitted length of a visit, and electronic emergency travel documents. For a first passport the government gives an application fee of BWP 260 for adults and BWP 100 for children aged up to 15, and a processing time of five working days when the application is made outside Gaborone. The Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs is responsible for labour, migration, occupational health and safety, employment, productivity and national records. Its departments also include Civil and National Registration, which issues national identity cards (Omang) and registers births and deaths; that department keeps its own, separate office in Palapye. Palapye lies on the A1 highway, about 240 km from Gaborone and 170 km from Francistown, and had 52,398 residents at the 2022 census. It is home to the Morupule colliery and power station, Botswana's main domestic source of electricity, and to the Botswana International University of Science and Technology. The government gives immigration service hours as 07:30 to 12:45 and 13:45 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, except public holidays; the department's central line, as listed on gov.bw, is +267 361 1300, and its toll-free number is 0800 600 777.
