So President Buhari today Tuesday 4th February unveiled Nigeria’s new Visa policy.
This according to the All Progressives Congress is the first time Nigeria is having a document profiling specific visa classes for the different stratas of Nigeria’s society.
The party further revealed thus;
“Did you know that until this new Visa Policy, Nigeria had ONLY ONE class of Visa – BUSINESS – for Students, Journalists, Academic Exchange, Artists, Musicians, Entertainers, etc.
Now there are specific visa classes for all of these & NIS promises more efficient processing”
The document is a revised version of a previously existing one.
The 2020 visa policy is to enhance business opportunities and achieve African integration through the visas on arrival for holders of passports of African Union countries.
There are 79 visa classifications in the revised policy, one of which is the Visa on arrival.
The revised policy is a sequel to Buhari’s pronouncements in November 2019 that a new policy of visas on arrival would be granted to all African travellers starting from January 2020.
