<\/p>\nIt is very important to know that you cannot step foot outside the country without your international passport. Not just your international passport but a valid one that is yet to expire, or has been renewed. The Nigerian international passport is a vital piece of document issued to Nigerian citizens intending to travel outside the country.<\/p>\n
Nigeria now offers electronic passports for new passport applications. These electronic passports are not virtual\/soft copies. They are touchable and they can be misplaced. They are known as the e-passport, and are classified as either Standard or Official e-passport, depending on intended use.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Obtaining the Nigerian International Passport can either be done online or offline.<\/p>\n
This is the most followed route. The simple reason is because of the convenience attached to obtaining your passport through an agent. \u00a0Offline is very expensive, compared to the online process but the fact that there are some technicalities you wouldn\u2019t want to get wrong, and you would still have to take your printed documents to the immigration office, is why people would rather go through the \u201cPay-and-Deliver\u201d route.<\/p>\n
To obtain your international passport online, there are few guidelines to follow, and there are few documents that would be required. The documents include:<\/p>\n
To pay online, follow these first procedures, after which every other thing is just click and submit.<\/p>\n
There is the 32pages International Passport, and there is the 64pages; although you almost can\u2019t lay hands on the 64 pages passport without first presenting your filled up or expired 32pages passport. This is in a bid to make sure that they (immigration officers) remain in business, as the official cost for making a 64pages international passport is what is collected for the 32 pages when you visit the immigration office.<\/p>\n
For Renewal, you would be required to present the following documents in person at the immigration office. If misplaced, you might be referred to the immigration head office in Abuja to get it done and it might cost around a week or two.<\/p>\n
It is advisable to apply afresh for a new International Passport rather than go through the stress for the renewal.<\/p>\n
