BREAKING: FG Raises Passport Fees
The Nigerian government has recently disclosed a decision to raise the fees for acquiring Nigerian passports, which will come into effect starting September 1, 2024.
The announcement was made through a statement by DCI Kenneth Udo, the spokesperson for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), on Wednesday.
He noted that this fee adjustment is being implemented as a measure to support the maintenance and enhancement of the quality and security standards of the Nigerian Standard Passport.
Udo said, “Based on the review, 32-page Passport booklet with 5-year validity previously charged at Thirty-five Thousand Naira (N35,000.00) will now be Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00) only; while 64-page Passport booklet with 10-year validity which was Seventy Thousand Naira (N70,000.00) will be One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) only.”
“However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora.
“While the Nigeria Immigration Service regrets any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants; it assures Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times,” the statement reads.
