Nigeria Immigration Service Addresses Concerns Over Visa-On-Arrival Application Amid System Upgrade

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), KN Nandap, has responded to public concerns regarding the challenges faced during Visa-on-Arrival (VOA) applications due to ongoing system upgrades by Nigerian financial institutions. In a statement released today, the Comptroller General assured the public that all NIS platforms remain fully functional.

Visa applicants are advised to submit their applications and complete payments from the comfort of their homes, utilizing the online portal and their bank cards for smooth transactions. For inquiries, the NIS encourages the public to use its official channels, including the website (www.immigration.gov.ng), social media handles, and contact numbers.

The NIS reaffirmed its commitment to continuously improving the VOA process to ensure ease of access for all applicants.
