The Federal Government of Nigeria has reviewed upwards the fees charged for an international passport.
NATIONAL POST reports that the increment was announced on Thursday, meaning that Nigerians will now pay more to obtain their passport.
It said it will be effective from September 1, 2024.
The announcement was made by the spokesman for the Nigeria Immigration Service, A.S Akinlabi.
Akinlabi stated that the increment aims to ensure the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport set to take effect on 1st September, 2025.
“The review which only affects Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now set a new fee threshold for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200,000.
“Meanwhile, Nigerian Passport Application fees made by Nigerians in diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for 32-page with 5-year validity and $230 for 64-page with 10-year validity”, he said
The Service reiterated its commitment to balancing quality service delivery with the need to ensure Passport services are accessible to all Nigerians.
In August last year, the Federal Government announced an increment on the passport prices.
One year later, a further hike has been announced.
