Traveling To Nigeria With An Expired Nigerian Passport by Obinoscopy(m): 2:21pm On Nov 25, 2023 |
Hi Guys, Getting an expired Nigerian passport renewed is a hassle especially in Nigerian Embassies in foreign countries. This has left too many Nigerians in Diaspora with expired Nigerian Passport. I'm aware of an an existing law that prohibits the prevention of a Nigerian citizen from entry simply because he/she has an expired Passport. Once the airline drops you in Nigeria, nobody, i repeat, no nobody can send you back as long as you are a Nigerian. Infact I know a lot of Nigerians with dual citizenship who has traveled to Nigeria and back with their valid Foreign Passport and an expired Nigerian Passport. However I'm told that certain airlines might have their own policy regarding the use of expired passport. This thread is for people who have traveled with expired Nigerian Passport to share their experience. Please tell us the airline you used and the country you flew in from. Tell us which airport you used and the difficulties or ease you experienced throughout the flight. This information might be invaluable to people who intend traveling back to Nigeria during this yuletide season. 18 Likes 6 Shares

As long as you're traveling back to Nigeria with the expired passport.. No one can turn u back... But before u book and board; make sure to confirm from the airline you're boarding concerning their policies on expired Nigerian passports for Nigerian travellers coming into Nigeria 8 Likes 1 Share |

You will enter no issues, so long as you have that passport, you will be allowed to fly. You just can't leave Nigeria with an expired passport UNLESS you have another passport like US 11 Likes |

You all saying go to your embassy. Do you all know the hassle in getting appointment at Nigeria embassy in abroad? Some times the only available appointment is in 3_6 months time. Or you have to travel to a nearby country especially in Europe. And the cost is outrageous. Application fee.. 101$ Express (same day collection) ... 150 Euro Not to talk about hotel bill, feeding, train tickets or flight.. depending from where you coming from. Renewal of Nigeria passport abroad is a war. I always advice those coming to Nigeria for holiday to always renew their passport in naija. Go for the 10 years validity.. it's cost about 120 thousand naira and it would save you all those stress 😬 15 Likes 2 Shares |
