Nigeria Ends Outsourced US Visa Service, Applicants to Apply Directly at Embassies

Nigeria Ends Outsourced US Visa Service, Applicants to Apply Directly at Embassies

Travellers in the US who need Nigerian visas now submit applications directly to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC, or to the Consulates in New York and Atlanta. This follows the Nigeria Immigration Service ending its contract with a third-party provider with immediate effect. No reason was given for the decision. The embassy and consulates have introduced measures to ensure visa applications are processed without disruption. Applicants should monitor official communiqués from the NIS and Nigerian missions in the US for updates. The NIS reaffirmed its commitment to efficient and reliable visa services.

Curious if this new direct embassy submission route will really cut down wait times, or just add lines at DC, New York, and Atlanta consulates?

Haha, na the same worry. Them lines might just scatter across DC, New York and Atlanta.

It seems ending the third-party contract means more paperwork back at the embassy, rather than less hassle for visa seekers.

I'm not convinced this change improves anything; some travellers found that third-party services at least handled initial checks before embassy visits.

Plan ahead and gather all passport photos, proof of US residence, and forms before heading to the DC embassy or consulates in New York and Atlanta.
