The Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, says it will introduce its contactless passport application system in some European countries to ease the burden of passport acquisition and renewal for Nigerians resident in those countries.

This was revealed in a statement issued in Abuja by the Service Public Relations Officer, SPRO, Akinsola Akinlabi, who quoted the NIS Comptroller General, Kemi Nandap as saying that the contactless passport application system will be introduced in Europe on Friday February 2025.

Nandap noted that Nigerians in the United Kingdom, UK, and Ireland would be the first beneficiaries in Europe.

The NIS boss therefore reiterated the commitment of the service to innovative and efficient service delivery to Nigerians all over the world, stressing that the rollout in Europe was the second phase of the rollout of the service for Nigerians in the diaspora.
