Gambian passports have caused a lot of commotion in recent months, especially with young people who, upon arriving in a cayuco, claim to be minors. The problem, according to the police, is that Gambia still lives with two passports, one biometric and more reliable, and another older one that, in addition to not containing fingerprints, can be issued without the interested party being present.
The Gambian Government is changing the process of issuing its passports in order to avoid the frauds of which Gambian emigrants are accused.
