Nigeria's Immigration service has outlined several forms of guidelines for gaining entry into Nigeria.

This was revealed by the Comptroller General of Nigeria's Immigration, Muhammed Babandede.

Giving more details into Nigeria's latest visa policy, he said visa on arrival is just a component of the visa policy. Going further he explained that the Immigration service was looking to monetize all forms of entry into Nigeria.

"You can get a visa at the missions if you are coming here to take residency, take up employment or join spouses, either temporarily. If you are coming for a short visit, if you are an African, you can get your visa at the point of entry," he said.



He also spoke of investment visa which has been given consideration after much thought.

"We have given special consideration to investment visa which means we need to work with the investment commission, and CBN to see that if you have an amount of money or investment, you can automatically take your visa and take residency," the immigration boss said.
