How much do regular passports cost in your country?
Here in Oz, the current cost of a 10 yr adult passport is A$412, while a 5 year adult or child passport costs A$208.
You can get it within two business days after submitting the completed application if you pay an additional A$300.
So if you needed (or wanted) to travel overseas at very short notice, you not only have to pay a massive amount for the airfare (since it's being booked a couple of days out not 6 months or more in advance), but you have to pay a massive amount to get a passport.
International travel (for Aussies - since we have no land borders with other countries) is only for the rich since Covid restrictions went away.
It's been so long since I travelled outside Australia that I don't know what the requirements are now.
