Omo it is not easy getting the passports renewed. Thanks for tips sure that will come in handy. Buying that open ticket sure is great. Glad all went well
They always have a crowd there from videos I've seen so far. At first, I used to think it was a one off thing but it's clear to me that there's no escape 🤣. Thanks for sharing this information. It will be helpful.
My dear sis infact you have to really really check before going there, since 2011 I stop going to Nigeria home for passport I normally just renew it in Nigeria and save myself the stress
This video is very informative and just like to said it is good to buy an open ticket so You don't have to pay extra charges if you don't make it on time.
Hmm! My dear, we have had terrible experiences there, that's why I am so grateful that we were able to renew ours in Naija early last year bc ours expired just at the right time just before we travelled. At least 10 years of no wahala.
Do it online. Pay online, send the old passport there to the embassy. It's cheaper and saves you time and money. You will get it back in the mail in 30days.
So they requested for NIN in UK😳 I was at the Nigeria embassy in Rome November they never asked for nin because I no even get. You are right sis no appointment time there oooo just get there on time so you can leave on time
My Nija passport expired since 2010, till today I did not renew it, because the stress is too much, Even if you bring all the documents they will still want to frustratè you do that u give Themas usual
Hello ma. I am going to the embassy in the next two days. God help me. Thank you for your very informative video. I was just wondering, do you have to stamp the special delivery envelope? And if you do, which stamp is it? First class? Or any stamp
When you buy the special delivery envelope at any post office in your location, let them know you want to use for your passport collection from your embassy...they will stick the right stamp on it. Both stamp and envelope is about £6 or £7. Goodluck
Please, do I need to go through any nin update, if the only thing that is changing is my relationship status, which I stated single in my last passport. And of course I am not doing any change of name. Thanks
@ChySpace oh thanks! because I was thinking, changing my relationship status without nin updating it might be an issue if I want to renew my passport now that I am married. Thanks for the advice
Thanks for the video ma, just want to ask if u have received urs after the 2 months because i did mine in feb 23 n they said it should b ready 24th of April. Just wondering if they will keep to the time. Thanks
Chi I have come again ooo Bikonu we have succeeded in makings payment concerning my daughter passport renewal who is still under 18 but this acknowledge slip is what I don't understand .it has been long school left no body should 😂 laugh . application form . appointment slip . email receipt from I innovate and payment receipt printed .so which one again is acknowledge from where how it look like .I need help or clarification.or am I good to go .cos all other thing NiN. birth certificate is okay and her NiN has been used in jamb and weac . neco.i hope .thank you
Hi! Thanks a lot for the video! Pls do you know if the £20 postal order and special delivery envelope is per person or per application? I have made a joint application for me and my sister.
Greetings chy.am one of your subscribers.trying to renew my daughter passport under 18 but the after submitting the application .the payment was not going . dollar card .and pounds cards was rejected every attempt .no head way please advice
Hello! Thanjs for the video. I lost my passport and i have applied for replacement. Please do you have an idea how much it cost for the replacement penalty. Also is it a cash transaction or postal order payment
Sincerely sorry about that. You might want to call the Nigerian House in London for an accurate inquiry or check their website for how much it cost to replace a lost passport. Goodluck sis
A terrible experience here in Poland considering the fact that they don’t have passport printing machine here. Some people go to other country. Wow! What a long queue. Since I used my NIN for my babking details does it mean is still verified?
Could you have timed your train🚆 travel so you don't have to spend 120 pounds in the hotel. Enter 2am train to London, arrive Nigerian house/embassy 7am.
If you have used your NIN anywhere, you don't have to bother. That means it's verified. If not you might have to send it to a NIN staff to help you check if it's verified expecially if it's new
I don`t know about the UK, but when hubby wanted to renew his Nigerian passport here in Switzerland, they behaved just as they behave in Africa,go come back, bribe, bribe,briebe
@@ChySpace It`s just such a disgrace, these people are employed to work but when you visit their offices, they behave as if they are doing you a favor.
@Chy Space Thanks, but I know what NIN is, and I have mine from years ago. It's also linked to my bvn. What does it mean to verify your NIN, or how will you know if it's verified
@@dotnetgolden It's verified then hence its linked to your BVN. Dear, this their verification is another means to rip Nigerians some money in the UK I supposed
@Chy Space I can imagine. It's just a shame what Nigerians have to go through to get anything done about Nigeria. I'm just dreading the passport renewal experience already. Anyways, thanks plenty
@@dotnetgolden Yes, imagine my son's that was freshly captured in Liverpool in December. The same guy sent the NIN, and asked me to pay £10 extra for verification. Surprising, he sent me the same NIN no after verification
Hi chy did you get the passport same day My passport has expired and I also want to know if is important to renew be I can apply for my permit stay in the UK this year June
Yes, it's very important you renew it Peace. Mine will be expiring in June but I had to go this early because we will be renewing our visa around July. Our collection date for the renewed passports is on April 4th. We did the biometrics on the 6th of February.
@@dinma8771 From 1 year before expiration dear. Mine will expire in June and my son's in April. It's better earlier because sometime it doesn't come out after 6 weeks as they promised
Good Afternoon Sis. Please do they do NIN verification/activation at the Nigeria High Commission We've done the registration and received the NIN number then I heard you talked about the verification I was like verification again Please kindly advise.
@@ChySpace Sis. We did the registration at Leicester VFS global in 2021, Since you made this video have been calling there office every week for recheck but kept telling me the same story THE NIGERIA WEBSITE FOR THE NIN IS STILL DOWN I called them yesterday it's the same story.
Sis. We did the registration at VFS global Leicester in 2021 as a family of 5, Sincerely I watched your video have been calling VFS global Leicester office every week It's the same story they kept telling me the Nigeria NIN Website is down (Not Working)and they've been waiting for Nigeria Government to fix it I called them twice yesterday it's the same story.
@@adeshinaadewusi8083 That means it's verified. Google how to check if your NIN is verified because if give you the contact of the NIN in Liverpool he would definitely charge £10 each to check for the verification.
Sis. I would pay the £10. Because it's better to pay the £10 than going to Nigeria High Commission and getting rejected I tried some NIN office at Coventry went there found out they're fake offices they're using people address without their knowledge
I have old Nigerian passport from 23 years ago, never been renewed once. I have USA one now. You don't have plans to be UK citizen, why? You have been in the UK for donkey years.
@@ChySpace It may be cheaper to just get Nigerian Visa using USA passport instead of renewing Nigerian passport. I don't know. I have no plans to go to Nigeria. When the time comes, I will figure out which option is cheaper.
USA passport will allow a person to travel to many many countries without needing a Visa. Nigeria could be one of those countries. UK passport does the same.
Chi good morning greeting my daughter is trying to send y ou messages on your iG for information on her NiN on how to revalidate it in UK there. But your iG is not so that we can revalidate her NiN although in Nigeria she has used it for jamb weac and co but you know it will not be nice to travel from far and it will be NiN validation that will prevent her biometric so how can I send you an email
So informative, at least one will not just stick to their appointment time before going to avoid waiting for long periods of time. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
