With Nigeria, there are two options:

1. Apply in Pretoria BUT client will need to go in for Biometrics. This is done through OIS. Email us ALL the docs, we upload and then schedule an appointment. If client has a previous Nigerian visa done with Biometrics, in the same passport, then they do not have to appear in person and we can submit. With this option clients can either apply for single entry or Multiple max: 3 or 6 months.

1. We can do a “Visa-On-arrival” which means all docs are emailed to us, we upload, make payment and wait for the approval to come through. Once received, the client travels with this and gets visa on arrival and will do Biometrics on arrival. This is only single entry.

The Pretoria option: The processing time after submission can take ±1week. The on arrival option, the approval can take ±3-5 days but they issue close to the departure date because they only give limited days.

Please note that the applicant MUST appear at the Pretoria visa centre in person for provision of biometrics (fingerprints). We however need the documents ahead of submission so that we can make the necessary uploads, payments and appointment scheduling.

Please note that non-African passport holders cannot apply for a Tourist visa, only a business visa.
