!!!UPDATE!!! Traveling With Expired Nigerian Passport by OmoAlata1(f): 3:06am On Jan 03, 2016 |
I am in the US and I have to travel to Nigeria. I was wondering if I will be allow to enter Nigeria with expired passport accompany with a valid US passport. My friend told me, I can travel to Nigeria with an expired passport as long as I have a valid US passport, but I have to renew my passport as soon as I get to Nigeria or else they will not allow me back into US. Is this a true statement? I don't have time to renew my Nigerian passport in US as I will not receive it before my trip. By the way, i have the old old old passport from the 90s not the new ecowa type. 1 Like |

OmoAlata1:You will be arrested and detained for days. It not acceptable, the system now don't compromise. Go and get a Visa if you don't have the time to renew. Remember you have to be stamped in and your details taken down. NB: Your passport is now invalid and no longer documented as Nigerian passport. 1 Like 1 Share |

Well it's either ur using the us or nigerian passport. If u come in with a valid visa on ur us passport, I can go by the same route back to the us. Ur Nigerian passport is already null. U can't use it for anything. But u sure won't be arrested for holding an expired paßport. It's advisable for u to get a new passport when u come home. Bsds passport renewal usually tAkers just about a day or two if I remember well.? |

OmoAlata1: Your problem would not be when you arrive in Nigeria, simply because you would not be arriving!! The airline operators would not even transport you with an expired passport. Way out - Get a Nigerian visa or defer your trip till such a time when your passport application process is completed and issued!!! 1 Like |

In the past the advice has been. Book your tickets and board the plane with your USA passport. Enter Nigeria, your home country, with expired Nigerian passport. Renew passport as soon as possible. (A little money to ease Nigerian immigration might help. ) But I can not guarantee that they will let you board the aircraft without a Nigerian visa, you should check with the airline. |
Re: !!!UPDATE!!! Traveling With Expired Nigerian Passport by Nobody: 6:58pm On Jan 03, 2016 |
OmoAlata1:you're not regarded as a Nigerian cos you're not documented. Entering Nigeria with such is criminal and you'll be arrested and detained. They will use for new year money. The truth is you'll not be allowed to board without a valid passport. |
Re: !!!UPDATE!!! Traveling With Expired Nigerian Passport by OmoAlata1(f): 7:04pm On Jan 03, 2016 |
worry359: Thank you. That was exactly what my friend just told me she did last yr. she said they did not collect money but told her she couldn't leave the country without renewing her passport. I will reply back with my experience for future seekers |
Re: !!!UPDATE!!! Traveling With Expired Nigerian Passport by Nobody: 7:14pm On Jan 03, 2016 |
OmoAlata1:that is if you're allowed to board. Secondly, you'll be detained |

slimmy05: Why is my simple question paining your head so much? You are displaying a womanly behavior in this thread. I only ask a question, why are you acting like your life depends on it? If Nigerian govt detained me, what concern is it of yours? Is it you they will detain ni? It seems like this is more than just a passport issues for you, please whatever is paining you, state it now so you can stop acting like a bitter woman. Don't derail my thread in case someone has a similar question in the future. If I am detained, it is not your wahala and no concern of yours. 1 Like |

Re: !!!UPDATE!!! Traveling With Expired Nigerian Passport by worry359(m): 8:55pm On Jan 03, 2016 |
I don't think there is any risk of arrest. You have a right to travel with your USA passport. You have a right of entry into your home country.(Which your expired passport proves.) The problem is Nigerian corrupt officials wanting something at point of entry. |

Haha folks out here starting threads and pretending to ask questions when they're simply looking to confirm their prior assumptions. Looking forward to how this turns out. |
