Most comment were focused on the headline , people just neglect the fact that the new 64 page E passport is for frequent flyer , the government is indirectly telling you that if you are not a frequent flyer you should apply for the regular 32page ....

It's an actual E-passport. The little square that is at the bottom of the passport cover stores your info electronically, which makes it impossible for an impostor to use.
The N20,000 may be on the high side, but the 64 page document is for frequent travelers ie business people

You guys don't really appreciate anything from Mr president for me I think these is a good one because all my passport pages are filled up..... good one Mr president. maybe you guys believes that Mr president makes all decisions alone, what if his work on the e passport was just to approve it and u re all putting the blames on him. Every frequent traveller will appreciate these move.

Henix: Did u read the post at all? I will advice u stop digracing urself in public forum
FYI...I read it twice and theres absolutely no justification to increasing passport pages in comparison to increasing the validity period.

Btw,with the current state of the nations affairs..is this is a logical move at this point in time?

I take it you trying to be civil,keep it that way...but if theres anyone been disgraced and is consistently on the platter of "disss-grace"....its your clueless president with misplaced priority.

Those below 18 years and those above 60 years will be issued 32 pages passport at N8,750

Non-frequent travelers aged between 18 and 60 years will be issued 32 pages passport at N15,000

Frequent travelers between 18 and 60 years will get 64 pages at N20,000

In exceptional cases, those above 60 and confirmed to be frequent travelers can be issued 64 pages but at N20,000

In essence, for non-frequent travelers aged between 18 and 60, nothing has changed from the the current passport in issue except the jerking up of the price.

I was about to ask same question, I thought "E" is for electronic, as in you still feel the passport pages...


E-passport simply means Ecowas-Passport. The design of the E-passport cover page is the same with all West African countries passport...Benin,Ghana,Togo etc.

I don't think there's AGE barrier with respect to 64 page passport so long as the applicant is a Frequent Traveler!

If you have ever tried to obtain a passport from the immigration's officials, then u would know that nobody ever pays the actual rates except government officials.
