FG increases international passport fees

The Federal Government has increased fees for Nigerian international passport to take effect from 1st September, 2024.

This was contained in a statement released by the Deputy Controller of Immigration, Kenneth Udo in Abuja on Wednesday.

The statement said, the development was part of the efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport.

“Based on the review, a 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 a 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,” he said.

While expressing regrets about any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants; the NIS assured Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.
