To answer your question Ablekelsy01 :
Let me talk with my experience:
Royal Dutch embassy has embassy at Lagos and Abuja all in Nigeria.
But when I got my permit/residential permit - MVV
I need to apply for visa I went online there website and they refered me to Ghana or Benin republic so I have to go to there embassy physically and I was told that royal Dutch embassy in Nigeria only attend to students visa application not work. Work visa application should go to Ghana or Benin republic.
So that's it

Applying for a long-stay visa (MVV) for residents of Nigeria
If you want to stay in the Netherlands for longer than 90 days, you may need a residence permit. In many cases you will also have to apply for a long-stay visa before you travel to the Netherlands. This visa is also called an authorisation for temporary stay (MVV).

You can only apply for an MVV at the consulate-general in Lagos if the purpose of your stay is knowledge migrant. Or if you are a family member of a knowledge migrant, submitting your application for an MVV at the same time. For all other categories, you can submit your application at the Netherlands embassy in Cotonou, Benin or at the Netherlands embassy in Accra, Ghana.

Thanks for the clarification.

Pardon my curiosity once more. I need answer to the following questions.

1. After your interview, were sent offer letter offer letter and residence/work permit alongside?

2. Did the employment come with Visa sponsorship from the company?

3. How long did it take you to process your visa from Ghana/Benin Republic?

4. Please how did you navigate your way to Benin Republic? Is the Embassy located at the heart of the country or outskirts?

Thanks in anticipation for your responses to these questions.

1. After the interview online and all the video sent. I was offered employment letter which I print out and sign and scan back and send.
With this document and others requirements it was was used to apply for residential permit. So to answer that question it did not come at the same time. Offer letter first and after 3weeks residential permit which all the two documents and others requirements you will now use to apply for visa-mvv.
Second question which is almost answer the third question:
I applied at Ghana royal Dutch embassy. With God is good mottos you will land at Accra Ghana.
So I did not go to Benin republic.
Hope I answered you questions.
Oh I forgot: is not sponsorship visa. Because the company made it clear during the time of the interview that I will bear the cost of my flight fare but the residential permit application was paid by the company. Although in the offer letter accommodation, feeding at break time and transportation to and fro is provided by the company

What kind of work and how can apply
