The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced new passport fees effective September 1, 2025. A 32-page, 5-year passport will now cost ₦100,000, while a 64-page, 10-year passport will cost ₦200,000—a 100% increase from the old rates.
The new charges apply only to applications within Nigeria, while diaspora fees remain unchanged at $150 (32-page, 5 years) and $230 (64-page, 10 years).
The NIS said the review balances service delivery with accessibility. The hike comes amid Nigeria’s worsening unemployment and the growing “Japa” migration trend, as more youths and professionals seek opportunities abroad.
