How Nigerian Visas Are Obtained In 13 Countries

 
Research carried out by the Nigerian Immigration Service shows that Nigerian visa is available for between N100 to N200 in a total of 13 countries.
The countries this applies to are said to be: Mauritania, Monaco, Morroco, New Zealand, Panama, Uruguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Burma, Dominican, Chile and
Colombia.
Nationals of the aforementioned countries are reportedly charging between N100 and N 200 for a single-entry Nigerian visa. For those applying for multiple entries, the fee is multiplied by the number of entries they are applying for.
Weighed against the current exchange rate, it implies that a Nigerian visa is still going for half a dollar or a little above that.

In United States, Applicants are charged the highest. They pay N14,000 for either a single or multiple-entry visa.
Russia and other former members of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are next to the US, and a visa application from the region attracts N10,500.
In United Kingdom application for a single-entry Nigerian visa, is N9,700, whereas a multiple-visa is charged N16,200.
Based on the fact that the immigration service deals with many people in different parts of the world, it is expected that the facts presented on its website are valid as this is a major platform where potential visitors to Nigeria can access it.
According to Punch, the list has not been upgraded since August 2013 when it was uploaded despite a promise that it would be “updated regularly.” Moreover, no reason is given for the cancellation. This, indeed, leaves visitors in the dark as to the number of the ‘green-back’ that have been cancelled in the past two years.
An online document obtained from the NIS portal on Sunday also says it started compiling the list in 2005. There is nothing anywhere on the site to show the updated status of the two-year-old document.
Meanwhile, Naij.com’s columnist Japheth Omojuwa had writing on dealing with the Nigerian visa regime saying the current system is greatly tarnishing Nigeria’s image abroad and needs to be changed as soon as possible.
