In a groundbreaking move to enhance efficiency and convenience, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has launched a contactless passport application system for Nigerians residing in Europe.
The announcement was made via the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of Nigerian Stories, heralding a significant step towards streamlining the passport renewal and application process for the Nigerian diaspora.
This innovative system aims to eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks, reduce processing time, and enhance security, ensuring that Nigerians abroad can access passport services seamlessly without the need for physical visits to embassies or consulates.
The introduction of contactless passport processing aligns with the federal government’s broader digital transformation agenda, positioning Nigeria among nations leveraging technology for efficient service delivery.
Details on the implementation, eligibility, and how Nigerians in Europe can access this service are expected to be outlined by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) in the coming days.
