IMPACT — MEDIUM
Government offices will close next week in Muslim countries throughout the world for Eid al-Adha.
Key Points:
Background: Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of the Sacrifice, Eid-e-Ghorban, Kurban Bayramı or Hari Raya, marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage and will begin on or around June 28.
BAL Analysis: Government services slow down throughout the Eid al-Adha season, and many government offices will close for extended periods of time. Embassies and consulates around the world also observe the holiday, though schedules may vary. Overseas applicants should contact their relevant embassy or consulate for specific holiday schedules. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible to avoid holiday-related delays.
