US travellers to now submit Nigeria visa applications at embassy

‎The Federal Government has discontinued the use of a third-party visa application service provider for Nigerian visa applicants in the United States, directing travellers to submit their applications directly to Nigerian diplomatic missions until further notice.

‎

‎The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) announced on Thursday that Online Integrated Solution (OIS Services), which previously managed Nigeria’s visa application and submission centres in the US, has been disengaged with immediate effect.

‎

‎In a statement signed by the NIS Public Relations Officer, Akinsola Akinlabi, the service said visa applicants must now submit their applications directly at the Embassy of Nigeria in Washington, DC, or at the country’s consulates in New York and Atlanta.

‎

‎”Travellers seeking Nigerian visas are now required to submit their applications directly at the Embassy of Nigeria in Washington, DC, or at the Consulates of Nigeria in New York and Atlanta until further notice,” Akinlabi said.

‎

‎He did not state the reason for the disengagement of OIS Services.

‎

‎The NIS assured applicants that the Nigerian embassy and consulates in the United States have made adequate arrangements to ensure the seamless submission, processing and issuance of visas despite the change in application procedures.

‎

‎Akinlabi advised prospective applicants to regularly monitor the official communication channels of the NIS and the Nigerian mission in the United States for updates on visa application procedures.

‎

‎He added that the immigration service remains committed to delivering efficient and effective services to all visa applicants.
