BREAKING: Nigerian Government Raises Passport Fees.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has unveiled a new passport fee structure, set to take effect from September 1, 2024.
According to a statement from DCI Kenneth Udo, spokesperson for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the fee increase is part of a broader initiative to uphold the quality and standards of the Nigerian passport.
According to the statement, the fee for a 32-page passport booklet with a five-year validity will rise from N35,000 to N50,000. Additionally, the cost for a 64-page passport booklet with a ten-year validity, which was previously N70,000, will increase to N100,000 starting September 1.
“However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora,” he said.
The NIS expressed regret for any inconvenience the fee increase might cause prospective applicants and assured citizens of its steadfast commitment to transparency and high-quality service delivery at all times.
