The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has extended its Special Passport Intervention Exercise in the United Kingdom until October 30, 2026, due to continued high demand from Nigerians seeking passport services. This extension follows an earlier delay to October 3, 2026, approved by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to handle more renewal applications.
The exercise, which now runs from October 6 to October 30 across designated UK centres, will see the NIS team based in Abuja operating through Contactless Passport Application System, allowing eligible Nigerians to renew their passports remotely. Applicants are urged to use the extension to complete their applications at the designated intervention centres in London, Manchester, Aberdeen, and Cardiff.
Akinlabi advised Nigerians to monitor the Nigeria High Commission’s website and NIS communication channels for venue-specific updates, confirming that cash payments are not accepted at the service centres.
