I will advise you go for the enhanced if you have the cash cox I am having the feelings that Nigeria govt may scrap the old passport soon especially when the so called 5G arrives. We understand the insensitivity of our govt, they can do and undo without considering the effect on the masses.

Greenbullet:
Thanks very much , I will go for the standard .

Your post is quite inspirational and motivational to me as well, infact all the posts here are motivational and inspirational...

Don't forget this saying in Nigeria; use your head. What that means is, irrespective of what one posts here, we should always use our head as what works for A might not work for B as you rightly pointed out.

I have been silently following this thread for quite some time now, I feel the wonders you are doing here. God bless you richly

Kendocity4u:
His message is inspirational and motivational but at the same time can be misleading......what works for A cannot work for B.......his CGPA and work experience might give him an edge over others but that doesn’t mean he should advise people not to have contingency plans......I know lots of my friends that got AD last year but couldn’t secure Admission Letter and they had to cancel......he should go and tell those people to apply to one School because they want to apply to competitive schools......I didn’t want to reply the guy when he posted that but I had to after reading your post......I’ll keep saying it.....spread your Application Net far and wide to avoid premium tears......if the guy in question didn’t succeed with that one school he applied to.....trust me.....he’ll be distraught and might drop out of the Germany Travel Race.......there’s nothing wrong in having Plan A - Plan Z as far your money can carry you through application.......A word is enough......Cheers.
NB: you can actually switch schools in Germany if the school did not meet your expectation.....The Goal is to get to DE.

This is very inspirational and motivational.
What was your undergraduate course please?


I will like to connect you if you don't mind as we are in same career line.

OkpeJohn:
Going through many advice giving here... Why always advising someone to go for less compitative course or school when there couldn't get through with 1st attempt?

I don't find it right.... I believe everyone prefer best option...

For me, I went for the course of my choice and still for a high racking school.

M.Sc. Mechatronics (its a multi-disciplinary course that combine Mech, Elect, info-tect, electronic and computer) is a high marketable course and a restricted admission at University of Technology Hamburg...

I didn't even border applying to other school because I can't find the combination of a higher Rankin school like TUHH with Mechatronics in English and free tuition...

And I got the admission and that is the only admission I got and that only I applied...

No uni assist, no certification of any document, no single penny paid on admission process till I got the admission just a few data.

So I guess we should guide people the best instead of letting them settle for less.

Just my opinion

I saw some post about some people that got TUHH admission too, pls we can contact for personal chat

Ikoyi

It's honestly easier for DIY at Ikoyi.

Today, there was zero queue at the gate for both capturing and collection. My collection didn't take 5mins.

onecoder:
which passport office did you register?

I got it today. Thanks to everyone for the support and swift responses. The enhanced e-passport is actually enhanced.

@Thane

The one without NIN is what some refer to as standard passport

Growingboi:
Both of them are E-passport, the new one with NIN is called enhanced e-passport and it's more expensive.

The new one requires NIN while the old one doesn't.

Apart from the old passport and the printout, do I go with any other document for passport collection?

I will advice you use Lagos, Ikoyi to be precise. It'sfaster and easier there. You can abandoned/discard the previous registration(I did same) since you have not paid as it has been confirmed that it's stressful in Abeokuta.

As for the guarantor, the gurus said you can use anyone with Valid international passport, driving licence or National ID card.

Thane:
Thanks very much for this, I have all, I got my nin slip in 2014, my problem is getting somebody as the guarantor. I'm new in my area, I came here for service.

Can I use a fellow corp member's voters card as guarantor?

Do you mean all the categories of passport or a particular one?

Adex2442:
How much is the price for passport as at now??

���. Thanks for the correction.

bennymine:
National Identity Number from NIMC not BVN

Both of them are E-passport, the new one with NIN is called enhanced e-passport and it's more expensive.

The new one requires NIN while the old one doesn't.

thatebonyiboy:
Hey guys, please pardon my ignorance.



what is the difference between e-passport and the normal passport?

would appreciate a nice explanation

Hello team,

My date of collection was on the 9th of June, three weeks down the line and no SMS yet. What will happen if I should go there for collection without the SMS? Will they ask me to go back or will they ask for the SMS?

Hmm

Welcome development if true

But this shouldn't be a yardstick to respond in a horrible way, you can make corrections or better still 'jump and pass'. Hands are not equal, what you see as easy might be difficult for another. When you get to Germany school and hear more stupid questions from Indians, Pakistanis, will you shut them down? Let's be guided please.

And if we continue like this people will be scared to ask questions as such, the purpose of this thread would be defeated. Let's see it as no question is stupid, no question is rubbish and no question irresponsible.

Rilwan3628:
Enthusiasm of the newbies makes some ask unreasonable questions! Though this can be normal but some will be looking forward to being spoon-feed. U will soon or must have seen some asking for embassy website in which some primary school pikin can be thoughtful to Google search!

Questions define who we are. Let's ask critical questions for critical thinking and answer.

This is the end of all the Okpolo eyes both in Edo and Lagos. Okpolo eye is not really open eye

This meeting will only make sense if and only if that short, devil, dwarf, ungrateful Idiot is unseated.

All these initial gra-gra by Ogbeide is to get a responsible settlement. We understand the logic, the gods are wise

APC died in Edo state the very day Obaseki left.

All they are doing now is just a show of relevance.

They can 'go and die' anyways.

Document 1 is standard e-passport
Document 2 is enhanced e-passport(with NIN)

azukaolisemeke:
Ok, thanks @Growingboi!
Please do you have any idea of the renewal price?

You can renew any where even in outside Nigeria as long as there is Nigerian Embassy there.

azukaolisemeke:
Please nairalanders i registered and was issued my passport at lagos(festac) passport office, now it has expired, can i renew the passport at another passport office? Warri to be precise. Please your answer will go a long way. Thanks

You can renew any where even in outside Nigeria as long as there is Nigerian Embassy there.

The man has made the right decision. He can't go to another party and become nobody there.

NOTE: Not going with Obaseki doesnt mean he won't work for him.

dammygoody:
You can try these:
09069000006
09069000005

Hi Dammy,

Did you get an SMS for collection and if yes, how many days from the scheduled collection date please?

I think you got it all wrong bro. I wasn't trying to disrespect or mock anyone. That's is not my kind of person.

I know of someone who got to that stage, funded his BA way above the minimum but was rejected due to some reasons.

I'm sorry if it has offended anyone...

Thank you Ken for drawing my attention to it and please be soft when making corrections.

Kendocity4u:
If you don’t know what I mean then there’s no need talking about it......just know that last statement you made should have been kept in your draft where it rightly belongs......Cheers

How is it distasteful so as to improve bro?

Kendocity4u:
You should have stopped after the first sentence/paragraph........the second sentence sounds distasteful.......smh

Hmmm, you are such a smart and brilliant guy, so unfortunate that SL was their reason for the rejection.

Those with money are not brilliant und brilliant people haben kein Geld.

Deustchemann:
Hello Kizzygentle, kindly find the link to my interview as i posted in part 7. You will also find a whole lot there from others as you go through.

Guarantor is not needed for renewal

Anything that's not stated as requirement on their website let's avoid it please unless we want the officials to make it compulsory for us then using that avenue to extort us.

hammed71:
guys do I need guarantors form for renewal?

Where on Earth is NPFL making there money or are they into rituals? I keep wondering. No fans, no adverts, no no.

How come such a promising business became grounded within a short time? Could it be bad managment decision or Nigeria factor of 'you wash my back I wash your back?

I thought by now, DSTV shakara would be a thing of the past. so unfortunate

Ikoyi. Guarantor is not need. Do whatever you see on their site.

Eizenburg:
Ikoyi or Ikeja?

Also, do you need a guarantor for renewal?

You will be captured.

belleez:
Please, are they using the passport photographs submitted by applicant on the passport or they are going to capture another during biometric?
