The Nigeria Immigration Service has again increased the cost of obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, to N100, 000 and N200,000 respectively for the 32-Page and 64-Page, one year after similar upward review.

In a statement issued on Thursday the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, the new fees which will take effect from September 1, 2025 will apply only to applications made within Nigeria.

According to him, application fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for the 32-page, five-year passport and $230 for the 64-page, 10-year passport.

“The review which only affect Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now set a new fee thresholds for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100, 000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200, 000,” the statement read.
