The Nigerian Federal Government has announced an increase in the cost of obtaining the international passport.
DCI Kenneth Udo, the spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday night in Abuja.
He said the move is “part of efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.”
The new charges will become effective from 1st September, 2024.
“Based on the review, the 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity previously charged at Thirty-five Thousand Naira (N35,000.00) will now be Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00) only, while the 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity, which was Seventy Thousand Naira (N70,000.00), will now be One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) only.
The costs and processes are as it is with the Diaspora at the applicable existing costs.
