you can collect 25% after 4 months of resigning your job and relocate. The remaining 75% will remain till you reach retirement age

Thanks

Please, I’m wondering what someone about to JAPA can do with the money in their pension account? Leave it? Withdraw? Transfer pension funds to the country you’re heading to?

I have to be in the UK by first week in November. The standard processing time from application to getting passport back is 20-22 working days. 22 working days from Monday is effectively one full month that I cannot guarantee. I wasn’t going to risk that. Let me also add that SPV isn’t for everyone o like people traveling with dependents or have been rejected for a visa in the past. And yes, I’m a first timer.

Congratulations! Are you 1st timer? Is urgent travel need a requirement? Just wanted to know if paying for super priority will be seen as a red flag to a trip that is not urgent.

Precisely. I didn’t set out to book spv. I booked it because I couldn’t get standard nor priority and I have to be in the Uk by first week of November. Plus, I already booked my flight before their fees become crazy

Travel / Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by BrosMayowa(m): 10:23pm On Sep 11, 2022
Finally got my passport last week Tuesday. God go punish them for that Ikoyi. Anyway, anybody expecting anything from Ikoyi at this point, forget about fast track o. There’s no such thing for now. They’re following strict approval to clear backlogs from Abuja.

Maybe it may change but the PCO is still very new so don’t let anybody collect your money in Ikoyi o. Enough said.

Also, if you track your passport and it’s in production, just go there to get updates or SERVICOM. I collected passport last week, and today it’s still showing production. Lol.

Good evening.

My mom needs to do her Nigerian international passport for a medical emergency in the UK
Is it still possible to do an international passport and collect it withing a week even if we have to pay more?

Go to SERVICOM. They'll assess your claim so make sure you have evidence of the medical emergency. If the story gels, they'll tell you what options are available for you. I advice you choose an office outside lagos. Avoid Ikoyi like plague.

I applied to renew my international passport using the DIY process. And I can only say those officers are hellbent on frustrating DIY people but we won’t stop advocating for it.

Passport office: Alausa
Booklet: 10 years 64 pages

Registered online: 30th May 2022
Captured: 4th August 2022 This was a breeze, didn’t pay a dime even though the friend I thought I had whom I approached to see if there was anything he could do because the two months wait for capturing was too long tried to hijack it and turn it into a money milking situation however I called his bluff and told him I didn’t wait for 2 months to enrich their pockets just for capturing alone (Those people know no friends when it comes to this).


I saw a website for tracking today so I decided to track my application and got the biggest shock of my life. My portal is yet to be updated at all. It’s been over 3 weeks since I captured and my profile is still like this. Is this normal?


Nowhere near normal. Finished country. Nigerians are wicked at heart.

This is getting really annoying and frustrating and the minister was saying there is no shortage anymore.

Captured in July 7th. renewal. no passport till date. I hope I don't lose my job because my sponsors have been waiting on me for nearly a month.
