INTRODUCTION OF TWENTY-EIGHT (28.00) EURO ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE ON EACH PASSPORT APPLICATION EFFECTIVE MONDAY 20TH MAY, 2024.

The Embassy wishes to inform you that a 28 Euro fee will be applicable as an administrative charge on each passport application from Monday 20th May 2024. This aligns with the subsisting Federal Government’s Policy on the Collection, Management, and Reporting of Administrative Charges by Nigerian Diplomatic and Consular Missions.

To this end, Passport applicants are required to obtain a 28 Euro postal order from Post Ireland made payable to the “Embassy of Nigeria in Ireland.” The Postal order should be submitted in exchange for a receipt at the Consular Section of the Embassy on passport services appointment day. Kindly note that the Embassy will NOT accept cash payments.

The Embassy appreciates your anticipated usual cooperation as we strive to serve you better.
