Help! South African Needs Nigerian STR Visa by afrikanbabe(f): 7:31am On Jun 25, 2017 |
Hello Nairalanders, So I'm a South African sista planning my mission to relocate to Lagos, Nigeria - to read more on my quest, please see the link: https://www.nairaland.com/3841147/south-african-wants-live-work I'm looking to get help on getting the right visa. Ideally, I'd like a residency card/green card and for that I know I'd need a STR (having obtained from my country) and go on to get the green card once in Nigeria. Problem is, I don't have all the documents needed such as expat quota. how hard is it to get the quota? What if the company is an npo? Can I maybe come with a business visa and apply for a green card once in Nigeria? Is this the same coming on a tourist visa? How much would getting a green card cost? Yes, I'd like a green card as I'd like to work legally in Nigeria. The agents here in SA are asking for an arm and a leg and I simply cannot pay so much as leaving with an str, how sure am I that once I apply for green card in Naija that I'll get it?? I'm confident that where there's a will there's a way so I'm sure someone out here knows the ins and outs of Nigerian immigration. Looking forward to any feedback on this Thank you all |

To obtain a green card in Nigeria, you have to obtain str visa from your home country. You can't obtain str from within Nigeria. Do you already have an employment letter from company or NGO IN Nigeria? If yes, they could provide you with Expat Quota for processing the Str visa |

sholatech: Hi sholatech, Thank you for your response. Points noted. So what you're saying that it's impossible to get an str with Naija? I could get a company to write me a letter but it's an ngo and don't think it makes the said money needed on the requirements to get the quota. Because the company applies for this quota yes? |

afrikanbabe: Yeah, you can not obtain str visa from within Nigeria. The Ngo can really get Expat Quota from Nigerian Immigrations to enable you process Str Visa from Nigerian Embassy IN SA |

sholatech: Okay thanks Shola Is it difficult to get an expat quota (on the company's part) Also, what if I leave with business visa, can I apply for residency once in Naija? |
Re: Help! South African Needs Nigerian STR Visa by sholatech(m): 1:46pm On Jun 25, 2017 |
afrikanbabe: No, It Is not difficult to get Expat Quota. Business visas cannot be converted to Residency in Nigeria, only STR. Business Visas can be extended in country but for long stay, are expensive |
