PRESS RELEASE
October 2, 2009
U.S. Visa appointment and pass back service fee increase
The U.S. Mission to Nigeria announces an increase in the visa online appointment
and passport pass back fee from 3500 Naira to 5800 Naira, effective Monday, October 5.
The fee increase is necessary due to the rising costs of maintaining the appointment
and pass back services in Abuja and Lagos and the expansion of visa applicant in-take
services at the U.S Embassy and the U.S. Consulate General.
As before, fees are paid at selected branches of UBA.
For additional information on the appointment process and fee payment,
please consult the VFS-Global website at http://www.usa-vfsglobal-ng.com
