The government of Nigeria has increased procurement of international passports for individuals from a minimum of N35,000 to N50,000 with effect from the 1st of September 2024.
A statement by the spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kenneth Udo, said that the increment is a part of the government’s efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.
He explained that based on the review, a 32-page Passport booklet with 5-year validity previously charged at N35,000 will now be N50,000.00, while a 64-page Passport booklet with 10-year validity which was N70,000.00 will be N100,000.
The statement said that the fees remain unchanged for Nigerians in Diaspora.
The NIS regretted any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants even as it assured Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.
