Pls house....a man said he will help me process my international passport. So, I sent him 70k yesterday night. This morning, he called that GTBank wants charges and asking for #8,500. I sent it to him. So, he called me that by 12pm tomorrow, I will get the international passport.

He didn't talk about biometrics or capturing. Pls, man hope this is real. Expecting replies. Thanks.

I reside in the US. Do you think I can get the NIN at the nigerian embassy/consulate? I’ve tried calling the embassy several times, but haven't been able to reach them. I don’t have a BVN but i do have US ids, US license and utility bills. Can I go ahead with the passport renewal on the same day, if i get the NIN done at the embassy?
Thanks

I believe this will help you

I followed up with plenty calls and messages. If you’re past your collection date, you can tweet at the Immigration handle and they would get involved.

I was able to pick up the new international passport today at Ikoyi.

Total time duration was a week form capturing till the day of collection.

Cost breakdown
Paid 25.5k online myself for the passport
Paid 1.5k for file, guarantor and printing all documents with photocopies
Paid 5h for court stamp
Paid 8k at the immigration office before capturing (egunje) cheesy
Paid 2k for fast collection today (Didn't even spend up to 3mins standing when my contact brought out my passport as there was a lot of people yet to be attended to)

Total 37.5k plus additional transportation fares all round up to 40k

As much as I tried to cut off the middle men, honestly I don't think anyone can do this stuff without spending much more over the official amount. Middle man has become the default way in this messed up country.

I hope this little piece of information helps any prospective Passport applicant.

Currently at Port Harcourt office, no materials, those in haste are being referred to Uyo, see drama. Why is our government so insincere?

If only I had gone through this route instead of being stucked in this abeokuta shit...so annoying it's a month now still no passport
You just kept saying same thing. Your question here helped me too and I was surprised you didn't act on the tip transformium gave you. Let me tell you my own. I went to renew at Abeokuta six weeks ago with my wife. I did it all online myself for both of us. We paid 17k online each. I went to the cyber cafe in Abeokuta and bought files and did it. Same day I did capturing with my wife. We went back two weeks later only to be told it was not ready. So I now said let us fast track since we needed it urgently. I met one officer, we negotiated to pay 12k each per person making 24k for it to come out the following day. I paid him. The following day, I was already on my way back to Abeokuta when the guy called me and said no materials. I kept my cool. He kept saying no paper today, machine spoilt tommorrow, only 64 pages is available but I was following your update with that of transformium. Then on Thursday, I saw his update where he said he got his own. That was when I called the guy and he still said same story. That was how I went to the Twitter handle of immigration like transformium suggested. I told them the guy collected money from me after I did it online and he kept giving me stories. Guess what? They called Abeokuta all the way from Abuja. The main PCO at Abeokuta called me by 1pm and begged me on phone and said if I could come down with my wife same day but I told them till Monday. I went there with my wife yesterday, they quickly gave us the passport and the PCO collected our 24k from the guy and gave it back to us. You are the one that asked transformium and you didn't follow his advice. I was like a big boss yesterday. We were ushered like VIP into the PCO office, the mumu guy was standing behind us while the PCO lambasted him. Go to their Twitter handle. It works like magic and I even collected my money back

After all considerations, I decided to look for 30k and give the immigration people for passport renewal. People that went to do it by themselves that is how they will be going from pillar to post, even when they have arranged their files, to capture you will be surely attended to after all others have been. Let me see how long it will take for it to come out, currently they are still insisting no materials in Port Harcourt that their backlog is from May.

Bro/sis I understand your message but you quick to judge..have been on their Twitter page even before coming here dont know if the guy handling the page selects people he responds to cos he doesn't reply my message..I sent a tweet again today up till this moment no response. I paid 45k to the agent for fast track he picks my call anytime but it's one story to the other. So how you can help me now is to pls share the number of the PCO since you have it..I beg you to pls share......thanks

Thanks for the heads up..as of now no response yet from the email shared..have tweeted at them again this morning waiting for their response. Last I heard yesterday was that booklets have finished again..that's why I was asking for the PCO number..frustrating to say the least

eeyah...so sorry. I just felt it won't be right dropping the phone number of PCO on a public forum. That will be irresponsible of me

Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by elijah101(m): 8:29pm On Jul 25, 2019
this is intended for those that want to listen ...
the shady immigration guys have decided to frustrate Nigerians into thinking that its hard to get the Nigerian Passport .... of which .. its is very easy .. its the most easiest thing to thing .. the issue with us is that we want fast thing ... It will not take you more than 1week ... there is nothing like pay today get today .. like it is used to be back in the day .. and there is nothing any officer anywhere can do for you .. if you pay anybody you are on your own ... since its there own way of making money .. they have to do everything possible to make us think its hard ... typical example .. you want to do an affidavit ... go to a cafe ... get them to do the typing for you .. go to any high court close to you ... its just 250Naira to get it signed and sealed .. and it will not take you more than 20mins to get it done .. but No .. a sane Nigerian will get to the high court gate and still be looking for fast job .. why cant you go in and ask them at the desk how it is done and get it done .. why must it be somebody outside .. Nigeria is moving away from man no man gradually .. i am actually starting to believe in this whole change of a thing ... Look at the Driver's license now ... there is nothing like pay and get it today .. you have to go through the normal process .. but some sane people will still go to road safety and be looking for same day something .... why can't we just follow the normal process ..... queue up .. una go wan jump queue dey form man no man ....
