The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has commenced registration for the issuance of its new 10-year e-passports to Nigerians.

This was disclosed by the public relations officer of the service, James Sunday, on Monday when he took journalists around the data capture centre in Abuja.

The new passport will incorporate details of enrollees as captured by the National Identity Management Commission.

The Immigration Service earlier postponed the issuance of the new 10-year enhanced e-passport till April 29.

It said that was to enable it finalise the integration of the National Identity Number (NIN) into the new passport.

The new e-passport was launched by President Muhammadu Buhari on January 16.

The cost of the 32-page five-year standard passport stands at N25, 000, while the 64-page five-year standard passport costs N35,000.

The 64-page 10-year standard passport costs N70,000.

The new passport has advantages which include 10-year validity, self-tracking application and express centers for urgent application, the service said.

The spokesperson also said it is weather friendly, compliant with latest ICAO standard, and is made from poly-carbonate technology which reduces incidence of damage.

I think the best place to go for the e-passport is the immigration office. As it may take you exactly same amount of year the e-passport will last (10years) before expiration for you to get it through online registration.


But, don't expect to pay the exact amount on the counter.

I see!

Just know the standard one of 70k will be 100k when you get to the Immigration Office

The former one cost about 18k. Yet na 31k we see am do. No one raised any alarm. May all those immigration ogas and their agents in those cafes die by fire

Hmmm!

So. The old one does not have all these features?

Is it the quantity of pages in the passport and the materials used to produce the passport that matters or the advantages of having the intl passport?
When some intl passports can guarantee you visa free entry to more than 150 countries, be rest assured that this passport can only guarantee you free entry to Benin Republic

They do need to fix thst issue. Drivers licenses and passports arent a hassle so this shouldn't be exception. The worst part is thst they dont mail the card to you. I dont understand why if considering Nigeria has a postal service.

25 + 25= 50k.... If u wanna maximize d value of ur money... Just take d one of 32 page... Then later u renew it into another five year plan.(Don't ask me d stress involve oooo)


How Una see ma calculation?
