Nigerians abroad with expired passports can use them to travel home. The Nigeria Immigration Service has clarified that a valid passport is not required for this journey. Once back in the country, the passport can be renewed.

This information is particularly relevant for those planning end-of-year trips. The Nigeria Immigration Service suggests using this opportunity to process passport renewal while in the country, rather than waiting to do so abroad.

Further details on passport renewal are available, including information on services at the High Commission in the United Kingdom, where an ongoing passport intervention is reportedly not disrupting regular services.
