The Nigeria Immigration Service has warned Nigerians and foreigners to use only its official online platforms for passport and visa applications, stressing that it has not authorised any religious organisation, private entity or individual to collect payments on its behalf.

The Service stated this in a statement posted on its official X handle on Wednesday.

According to the NIS, the only authorised platform for passport payments by Nigerians, both within the country and in the diaspora, is its official passport portal.

It added that foreigners seeking Nigerian visas should use only its official visa portal for embassy applications or the designated e-visa portal for electronic visa applications.
