Good evening good people of nairaland.
I have a disturbing question which I need you guys genuine answer especially those that had passed through the process.

I want to apply for Nigeria international passport and I searched online and discovered that one can apply for it via https://passport.immigration.gov.ng/nin/VTJGc2RHVmtYMS9BdnErK0xBMUlmbXRlSkNQb0NxejZ4WUhHdDZVMlROVT0%3D

That is immigration portal.

My questions are...

1. Have anyone here or your friend or relatives applied through online and later went to the nearest immigration office and complete the biometric.
2. I saw where the site says that for general international passport, 5 years is 35k whereas 10 years is 70k. If after paying for any of these, will I need to pay again when I visit their office for biometric?
3. If I will pay again, how much will I pay again when I visit the immigration office for the biometric?
4. How long does it take (...like...how many weeks or months) before it is ready?
5. Is it advisable me to go through that online process or should I just visit their office and do all the process in their office.

Pls, admin, help and forward it to top page for advice.
