In addition to the passport fee, there are also other charges that may apply during the application process, such as the online processing fee and bank charges. These vary depending on the passport office or embassy where you submit your application.
It is advisable to plan ahead and allocate additional funds for any miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the passport application process, such as transportation, passport photographs, and photocopying fees.
Remember, it is always best to confirm the current prices and requirements with the Nigerian Immigration Service to ensure you have the accurate and up-to-date information before proceeding with your passport application.
