Nigeria Immigration Service Extends UK Passport Services to November

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced an extension of its Special Passport Intervention Exercise in the United Kingdom until November 27, 2026. This decision, made public on October 27, 2026, by Deputy Comptroller of Immigration Akinisola Akinlabi, follows a sustained demand from Nigerians seeking passport services.

The extension aligns with the directive from the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, as the current phase was set to conclude on October 30. The new phase will operate from November 3 to November 27 at designated centers in London and Manchester, with services in Aberdeen and Cardiff available from November 3 to November 6.

Applicants must book appointments through the passport intervention booking portal or the Nigeria High Commission’s website and adhere strictly to their scheduled times. Only those with prior intervention bookings will be attended to, and cash payments will not be accepted.

This extension follows previous adjustments to accommodate the high demand for passport services.
