How do I regularize my stay after arriving?
For most employment-based TRVs (e.g., R2, R3, R4, R5, R6), you must:
-
Enter Nigeria on the STR (Subject to Regularization) visa.
-
Submit an application for a Residence Permit (CERPAC) to the Nigeria Immigration Service within the timeline specified (often 90 days).
-
Undergo medical tests, provide biometrics (as required).
-
Receive the CERPAC, valid up to 2 years (renewable).
