Pls i need help. i think am in big trouble. i want to visit Nigeria in january 2011 and i have d old nigerian passport. i learnt the old passport use will end 31st of december. I rushed to book appointment for the new e-passport online and was SHOCKED when given an interview date of April, 2011. As it is, i have to move my journey back to december precisely next weekend and come back before 31st of December. The problem now is getting a travel ticket at reasonable and affordable price within the short time. PLEASE am looking for reliable, efficient and trustworthy TRAVEL AGENT in the UK who can help out. The review of some i got online were not encouraging and am scared losin money.Any advice and recommendation welcome.

Dont rush yourself. the thing there is that, you will be able to travel to 9ja with the old passport BUT might not be able to come back with it. so while in 9ja you can do the new epassport comes out sometimes in 1week or 2weeks max dats if you go through an agent. i also have the old passport and i am travelling to 9ja in jan and thats wat i will be using BUT will do the new one while am dere.

hello guys thanks for the info here soo far, can someone please tell me if i will be allowed to travel to nigeria and back to the uk with my old passport which got renewed till 2013, few months ago, bacause am on a urgent business trip to nigeria, and wont have time to get the new one when in nigeria, and also my old passport( which was renewed till 2013) got my 4yrs work permit on it, does that mean i will be using two passports to travel?
