As far as I know 5 years is the max

Nigerian government with their confused and chronic lies.

Wasn't it last month or two that it was in the news that they launched the 10 years validity Nigeria passport and mentioned that most Nigeria embassies abroad will have it available by April for new or renewing applicants?

Didn't hear about that. Quite possible. Will be awesome if that is the case! Tired of renewing

At the worst, you'll be processed and it will be mailed to you in a couple of days. Now you know, next time do everything ahead and only show up when he says.

He's a really nice guy. I met him in 2011 back when my daughter died and I needed to go to Nigeria and didn't have valid passport. Embassy was giving me hell and I wandered into his place to make a copy since he was next door. He helped me for free! I've used him ever since.

....

The general idea is people should not wait till their travel date is near before applying for passport to avoid stories that touch.nobody I mean nobody can guarantee you anything.that it was possible last year doesn't mean it can happen again this year.Am yet to see anyone who got a new Nigeria passport in the US this year not to talk of getting it in a day.Its a common knowledge there have been no passport booklets for some months now even in Nigeria.

lionlee216:


I called the guy when are supposed to meet tomorrow. He was unable to gurantee me same day passport tomorrow but i will see how it goes

...

Am not sounding pessimistic here but be prepared for the worst.no one can promise you anything now.embassies are short of booklets.
Don't make travel arrangement to Nigeria yet until this is sorted out cos that one day delivery you wished for can easily turn to several weeks.All the best.

radautoworks:
Having used New York, Atlanta, ikeja and ikoyi, I can say that Atlanta is the best for renewals followed by NY for first time.

Why do many? There are 5 of us in my family and we have different renewal dates

...

Experience differs so my preference will always be Nigeria.have travelled twice on an expired passport and got it fixed in Lagos.it saves me stress,time and above all money.

No it’s not available in Nigeria. No one has been issued the 10years validity passport except maybe the president himself. For over two weeks, they have been claiming no booklet.

Lol..That there's no booklet doesn't mean the process has not started or are you trying to say no one has been issued a passport in the past 60days in Nigeria??.

Ofcourse, many had been issued a passport but not the 10years validity. The immigration announced that they will start issuing the 10years validity passport on the 30th of May. No one has been issued yet.

Tha 5years green Passport is available but u have to sort them as usual to get it

Huh...why am I not surprised?

Most African countries if not all have been issuing the 10 years validity with their passport for years.

What is Nigeria's problem that they just cannot get anything right. Shameless country!

Nothing in Nigeria is working except for the cooperation of the looters when it’s time to loot

The man wasnt telling me what i wanted to hear so I decided to do it the normal way. Website stated $60 money order for expedited and workers at the consulate said its $65. Most of us bought money orders for $65 only for the people doing capturing say unless we have documentations to prove that the need for the passport is urgent, they cant do expedited service for us.

To my face, one of the staffs was telling those producing passport saying "my wife's friend and her kids" are on the way on do biometrics and i want them to do it asap and get their passport. The response i heard was " Just tell them to come in immediately they arrive"... I just shook my head..

But all in all, i have done it and waiting for passport to be mailed..

There is not doubt that ATL airport is not only big but very beautiful. After passing through the TSA, i took a train to Terminal E. I found myself sitting at the waiting gate staring at this big plane going to Zurich. During Boarding, the screen showed one seat available. Does that mean right there, if i decided to go visit Zurich, i can purchase a ticket online at the spot, print out my boarding pass and the hop on the plane going to Zurich without passing tru immigration or someone checking if i have the necessary documents to board the plane because i noticed the agent at the gate was just scanning their tickets ONLY.

It might be a stupid question but i am curious

lol!...Very funny.

You wish!

However, even if you buy the ticket you will still need to get the boarding pass. It will be through getting the boarding pass that the status of the type of passport you have will be requested or scanned to know if you are eligible to get the boarding pass in order to be to board the plane.

Well there's always a limit to what anybody can promise or do as most of those things are out of their control,getting passport done is kinda tough now due to shortage of papers.
It's good you did it the proper way and I wonder why you were surprised some are still going through the back door.that is our culture,even if those officials don't want to play balls but what happens when they see so much cash??.the expedited option would have cost you way more but it's all good.Nigeria will get it right now or later.
Don't still make any travel plans yet until you have your passport in your hands.goodluck!!!.

Funny you..That you see one seat available doesn't mean its actually vacant,the occupant might still be within the immigration stands.
Secondly,once their main booking gate has closed,you can't access that same flight booking again on any of their platform....either on the internet or at over the counter purchase.any processes associated with that flight is closed.The booking gate and the boarding gate have different interface.one closes for one to open.
ATL is very large though but the enormous human traffic there has somehow rub off its beauty.i still prefer BWI ,MSP or Denver anyway.

I really like BWI. My airport in Indy was rated as the best from some prestigious authority. I don't know why. It is really clean.

Speaking of what Indianapolis is known for, the Indy 500. It was 2 weeks ago and it is a huge deal here.
The Indianapolis 500 is an automobile race held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, which is near Indianapolis, Indiana. It is one of the biggest racing event in the world. Every year more than 200,000 people come there to watch the race. It occurs once a year on the day before Memorial Day. This event gives its name to the IndyCar class, a type of open-wheel race car that races in it. Fans of this race sometimes call the race The Indy 500.

Here are some more facts about it.

Remember I told you I had to show plane ticket for expedite. What date did they give you for receiving it?

Did you talk to Ed or one of his staff? What matters is it's done now.

No, you would have to go back to the ticketing desk. If you already had a ticket, you could do an upgrade but fresh ticket, no.
