My biometric was Jan 22,collection date was March 20th,i went to the embassy more than times before I finally pick up my passport.
Just make sure that if your passport is send to your address and no one is at home, sha run to nearest post office to pick up before they send it back to 9ja embassy.
Few people are having difficulty because their passport was not picked up on time.

Boss please can u specifically explain what you had to do at the embassy before you were able to get your passport. I am planning to go to the embassy for mine as well. Please feel free to dm

Phenmeson:

When was your biometric? Do you mean you went to the embassy to collect yours?

Phenmeson:
Morning.

Hey I haven’t received my passport… capturing was end of February

Phenmeson:
I was at the embassy today. Those people are something else. I waited over 4hrs.
They said is at production stage that need to keep waiting until I received it.
Other applicant of last year are still facing the same issue. Even to use ladies/gent they will not even allowed those coming to pick up their passport. They said only applicant allowed in the building are those for capturing or have an appointment.

Hey fam, please is anyone coming to London before Friday? I need some help with a wig i bought in Nigeria please.

giselle237:
ur NIN needs to bear the new name. Then when you are filling the passport form. Dont go straight to reissue or renewal because that’s not what it is even if your old passport is expired. Your case is a case of correction of error/ change of data(addition of names)

Hey Giselle, I made this mistake.. i joined nairaland after i applied for the passport.

I was gonna do a change of change but because my passport was applying soon, i did passport renewal. Infact even my NIN beared my old name.so even at the high commission i was sent back home to change my NIN first and the next day i came back to drop my application. My application form had my new name tho.


All this happened in February. At the beginning of March i got an email from the NIN guys that the name change has been done.

My concern is the image i attached. I wonder what my next course of action should be.

TheGreatGod:
Ah please what did the person says that happens when they visited for passport follow up. Ah I am just hearing this for the first time please enlighten me please.

Besides when is your current passport expiring?

Also I noticed that they place a sticker number at the back of my current passport, I don’t know if it is a tracking number with Royal Mail. Do you have it as well on your current passport?

Please I will need your assistance? Please help a needy guy please o

Hi dear please read my message again.. the summary of my message is I hoping to find someone here who can share their experience.

I have no knowledge about anything, i need help as well.

My passport expires in June. Yes the sticker is to track royal mail delivery when the new passport gets handed to them.

TheGreatGod:
I will advice you to go there on Monday and make sure you get there early enough to see them. Take your confirmation slip with you with a copy of your previous booking appointment slip and beg the man outside to let you in so that you can sort it out.

In fact when I went for my biometric in the first week of this month, someone that I met told me that his friend that did his own in February got it in 2 weeks and I will just advice you to go there.

Please go there and let me have an update. I will be planning to go there as well at the end of this month of I didn’t receive mine. I am very sure your passport is ready just that they delay it, probably because the current one hasn’t expired yet.

Please when will the current one expiring?

Ahaah chairman sorry I am not going anywhere on Monday. I am not moving an inch at least until after the date on my slip and at least one person shares their experience of going to the high commission for passport application follow up.

The processes in the high commission is bery time consuming and unfortunately I don’t have that time to waste… i will to have an idea of what to expect or do from people here before going there.

Phil46:
Is it true that there aren't available appointment dates for all Schengen countries until September? I tried a few countries during the week and all saying no available dates now, try again later. Then I read on Schengen Visa Info that no dates for appts until Sept. I find that kinda hard to believe though as in how does the same backlogs situation apply to all 26 countries at the same time.

I don’t believe it

TheGreatGod:
Also @Lilli2pop, please when is your final collection date as shown in your confirmation slip that was printed to you after your biometrics. Mine is due in May but I need my passport before then. Thanks

My one is 27th of March, but i need my passport sooner than expected as well. I did my biometric in February

TheGreatGod:
Dear All,

Has anyone recently renew their Nigerian Passport and already done their biometric at the Nigerian High Commission London this March 2023 and received his/her passport in this month.

I did mine this month and still awaiting their delivery. Please help a brother o.

Thank you all.

I am in the same position as you my brother. I need my passport asap to apply for an EU visa. Do you have any plans yet? By the way what do you think about us storming the high commission?

Please does anyone have any experience doing this? If we go there , would they let us in ? Do we have any chance of laying hands on our passport?

hustla:
Big girlllll, gbogbo bigsss girlll that's not doing 20 hr jobs as a student

It's not a faceless forum for me, and if you want to see me, you can send a DM and arrange a meet

LOL if you check well, I even mentioned you to give you a solid solution and even asked your location cos I have someone who can offer you sponsorship at no cost provided you meet requirements. Would be easy as just putting in a good word for you

It's not hard to see the bile in your heart and the entitlement mentality seeping through your veins and escaping your lips

Again, may God help you solve your issues and make your path straight

You'll be fine, or maybe not

Ahahahahahah please don’t be like those people who get insulted and then say *I was even going to help you * loooool…. If you want to help her please help her out of the abundance of your good heart.

DoDirtsLikeWorm:
He should start looking for admission with immediate effect. PLAN B

This suggestion bring given to her , doesn’t it require moneyyy?? Do they have the funds for hubby to get admission as an int student? Or is admission free?

Please does anyone here a 2 bedroom flat for rent ? Or a shared ensuite room for rent?
Preferred locations for both accommodation-East London.

I am asking for some friends please

Hi guys, please I would like to get your opinions on a subject. From past experiences, is the bill generated from a smart metre cheaper than the bill generated when you send your metre reading to the electric company? So in other words which is better to do? Install smart metre or send metre readings monthly to the energy company?

Bukorlar10:
Dear Lexusgs430 and other seniors, please which top bank would you recommend for a long term stay? I already have revolute and wise for online spending. Thanks

Hi, just out of curiosity why wouldn’t you consider wise for a long term stay ?

kwakudtraveller:
Ancestors, I'm searching for a new house and we found one with Electric under floor heating, it's a nice house but we've never heard of electric floor heating, is this even safe and cost effective or e go just dey chop our money dey go?

My dear brother/sister please I would advise to run away if you can. I rented a newly refurbished property with an underfloor electric heating in 2021. It was newly done so i was the first tenant.

On moving in and staying for sometime we realised the flat doesn’t really get warm. An engineer came in to investigate and realised teh heating coils hasnt been done appropriately under the floor. This is the major con with underfloor heating, if there’s an issue its a lot of work to get it fixed.

Now because of being unable to fix it the landlord bombarded our home with mobile heaters. This is where we suffered because it was all electric in the property.

To cut the long story short, the money we spent on bills in the flat was enough to relocate a loved one from nigeria to the uk loool.


Let me just state that my post does not negate the pros some other people mentioned. Its just that My family and I would never ever get an accommodation with electric heating.

Also note some electric heating flats are also some times slightly cheaper in London because the agents know wats up

Note also, i know a friend who uses gas underfloor heating. Its way better. I would go for gas underfloor it gets the house extremely warm. Its great

Walexwal:
Disregard your appointment time, go early.
Also, try not to buy your postal order and return envelope at the HC. Buy at any post office.
Go alone as they might not allow any other person to enter with you.
Make sure your NIN details are the same as that of your expired passport. Take a book along to read.

Cheers!

Ahh eshey gan sirr…please do u know if i need a print out the NIN slip I received or the number should suffice?

Hi guys, please I am going for my nigerian passport renewal tomorrow. Are there any tips or guidance anyone would like to share please to make my visit hassle free??

Appointment time is 11am, do i have to wait for this exact time as well?
