President Bola Tinubu’s administration has approved the increment of the country’s passport fees to “maintain the quality and integrity of the travel document”.

This was announced in a press statement issued on Wednesday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service spokesperson, DCI K.T. Udo, stating the new fees will take effect from September 1, 2024.

The 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity will now cost N50,000, up from N35,000, while the 64-page booklet with a 10-year validity will cost N100,000, previously N70,000.

However, passport fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged, according to the statement.

The statement reads: “As part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport, the Federal Government has approved an upward review of the fees for the Passport effective from 1st September, 2024.

“Based on the review, 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 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.

“While the Nigeria Immigration Service regrets any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants; it assures Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.”
