Visa & Residency

Obtaining a residency in Nigeria involves several steps and can be considered an average challenge due to the bureaucratic processes involved. The most common residency visa for expats is the Subject to Regularization (STR) Visa, which is designed for those who have secured employment in Nigeria. To apply for an STR Visa, the expat must first receive a job offer from a Nigerian company. The company must then apply for an Expatriate Quota, which grants permission to employ foreign nationals. Once the quota is approved, the expat can apply for the STR Visa at a Nigerian embassy or consulate in their home country. The application requires a valid passport, the expatriate quota approval, a letter of employment, a curriculum vitae, credentials, and a completed visa application form. After entering Nigeria on an STR Visa, the expat must then apply for the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card (CERPAC), which allows them to live and work in Nigeria for one to two years, renewable. The CERPAC process requires a medical test, a formal application, and biometric capturing. It is important to note that the process can be time-consuming and may require assistance from legal or professionals in Nigeria. For digital nomads, the Tourist Visa is an option, although it is not specifically tailored to remote workers. The Tourist Visa allows visitors to stay for up to 90 days and can be extended once in the country. Digital nomads must provide evidence of sufficient funds, a return ticket, and a hotel reservation or host address. While the process for obtaining residency in Nigeria is structured, it can be complex and requires careful attention to detail to ensure compliance with all immigration requirements.
