Foreign nationals who need to carry out short-term professional or technical work in Nigeria may require the appropriate immigration authorisation. A temporary work permit in Nigeria is generally used for specific short-term assignments rather than ordinary long-term employment.
The applicable process depends on the person’s nationality, employer, role, duration of the assignment and type of work being performed. Applicants should confirm the current requirements with the Nigeria Immigration Service and the relevant Nigerian authorities before making travel or work arrangements.
Temporary Work Permit Support
Depending on the assignment, applicants may need to prepare:
- Valid passport
- Employer or sponsoring organisation details
- Letter explaining the purpose of the assignment
- Details of the Nigerian organisation or project
- Evidence of the proposed work
- Required immigration forms
- Applicable fees and supporting documents
Requirements can vary, so the current official immigration instructions should be checked before submitting an application.
