Visa Details

Nigeria does not currently have formal entrepreneur, digital nomad, or golden visa programmes. Foreign investors can obtain a Subject to Regularisation (STR) visa on arrival and convert it to a Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card (CERPAC) โ€” the standard work and residency permit. CERPAC issuance is managed by the Nigeria Immigration Service and typically takes 4โ€“8 weeks. A business visa (single or multiple entry) is available for short-term visits. The expatriate quota approval from the Ministry of Interior is required before hiring foreign employees.
