The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced an upward review of the fees for obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, effective September 1, 2025. In a statement issued on Thursday by the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, the NIS clarified that the new charges will apply solely to passport applications made within Nigeria. Under the revised structure, the cost of a 32-page passport with five-year validity has been pegged at N100,000, while a 64-page passport with ten-year validity will now cost N200,000. “The review which only affect 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, passport application fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for a 32-page booklet with five-year validity and $230 for a 64-page passport with ten-year validity. The NIS explained that the adjustment was introduced to preserve the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring continued access for citizens.
