Nigerian Passports
By Abdullahi Abubakar
The Federal Government has announced an upward review of the fees for the Nigerian International passport to between N100,000 and N200,000.
The government announced that the development will become effective from September 1, 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement on Thursday by the spokesman for the Nigeria Immigration Service, AS Akinlabi
Akinlabi stated that the increment aims to ensure the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
“The review, which only affects passport application fees made in Nigeria, now sets new fee thresholds for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity at N100,000 and a 64-page passport with 10-year validity at N200,000.
“Meanwhile, Nigerian passport application fees made by Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity and $230 for a 64-page passport with 10-year validity,” he said.
The service reiterates its commitment to balancing quality service delivery with the need to ensure passport services are accessible to all Nigerians.
