In a groundbreaking move to enhance efficiency and convenience for Nigerians abroad, the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) is set to introduce a contactless passport application system across Europe.
According to an official announcement made via Nigerian Stories’ X handle, the initiative is scheduled for launch on February 7, marking a significant milestone in the country’s push for digital transformation. This innovative system will allow Nigerians in the diaspora to renew their passports seamlessly online, eliminating the need for physical visits to immigration offices.
This development is expected to streamline passport processing, reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks, and offer a more user-friendly experience for citizens abroad. It also aligns with the government’s broader vision of leveraging technology to enhance public services and improve the ease of doing business globally.
With thousands of Nigerians residing across Europe, this initiative could be a game-changer, addressing longstanding concerns over delays, inefficiencies, and accessibility in passport renewal. More details on the implementation and operational framework are expected to be unveiled during the launch.
Stay tuned for updates as Nigeria takes a bold step into the future of digital governance.
