Immigration racks up passport fees to N100,000, N200,000

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced an upward review of the cost of securing the Nigerian Standard Passport, effective September 1, 2025.

The Service Public Relations Officer, Assistant Controller of Immigration, ACI AS Akinlabi, made this known in a statement he issued on Thursday to newsmen.

According to the statement, 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 threshold for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200,000,” the statement read.

It further clarified that application fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for the 32-page, five-year passport and $230 for the 64-page, 10-year passport.

The service said the adjustment was aimed at maintaining the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring accessibility for citizens.
