The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced an upward review of the cost of obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, effective from September 1, 2025.
According to a statement signed by the NIS Public Relations Officer (PRO), ACI AS Akinlabi, on Thursday, the new fees will apply only to applications made within Nigeria.
“The review which only affects Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now set a new fee thresholds for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200,000,” the statement read.
However, the statement clarified that application fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remained unchanged at $150 for the 32-page five-year passport and $230 for the 64-page 10-year passport.
The Service added that the adjustments were aimed at maintaining the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring accessibility for citizens.
