What Nigeria filings usually get wrong
Visa services commonly warn about invitation letters and photo counts. Keep these Nigeria-specific points in mind:
- Invitation strength — tourist hosts accept immigration responsibility; expatriate hosts should include a resident permit copy.
- Photo count — most types need 2 photos; STR needs 4 color passport photos.
- STR corporate set — incorporation, CAC forms, quota returns, and related copies are usually required in multiple sets.
- TWP — immigration approval documents are separate from a standard business invitation.
