The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has released details of its new Visa-on-Arrival application processes for Africans and non-Africans.
This was disclosed via a post on the NIS website on Monday.
“This is to notify the General Public that Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has rolled out a new Visa on Arrival Application Process for all Business Travelers and African Union (AU) countries, except for ECOWAS member countries,” the post read.
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari, in December 2019, announced that starting from January 2020, Africans traveling to Nigeria will be able to obtain their visas upon arrival.
The president said he believed that Nigeria needs to “bring down barriers that have hindered the free movement of our people within the continent” through the introduction of the new policy.
According to details on the NIS website, the visa on arrival is available to “Frequently traveled High Net Worth Investors with business interest in Nigeria; and Citizens of African countries.”
