The Nigerian Government has approved an upward review of the fees for the Nigerian international passport with effect from September 1, 2024.
The statement issued on Wednesday by the spokesman for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kenneth Udo, on the X handle of the NIS, said that the decision was to ensure the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.
According to the statement, the 32-page passport booklet with five-year validity previously issued for N35,000 will now be N50,000, while a 64-page passport booklet with 10-year validity, which was N70,000 will be issued for N100,000.
The NIS said though it regretted “any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants’’, it assured Nigerians of “unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.”
