Can NonNigerian spouse of Nigerian enter Nigeria without vis

Post by Miss Smithson » Sun Oct 25, 2009 6:36 pm

Hi,

I would really appreciate any help. I am Nigerian and recently married and EU citizen in Belgium. I was wondering does a non nigerian still need a visa to enter nigeria if he is legally married to a nigerian?
is there a process of getting a nigerian citizenship ?
Also, I understand that the Nigerian consititution only allows for the non-nigerian female spouse to become a nigerian citizen if she is domiciled in nigeria? Is there any addenum for the male spouses?

Thanks,

You might want to google for the Nigerian rules regarding visas.

A non-Nigerian sure needs a visa to enter Nigeria, whether or not he/she is married to a Nigerian National.
Your spouse (male or female) may become Nigerian citizen only if both of you reside and work in Nigeria for a period of 5 Years after the initial residence permit (5yrs).

I have just deleted a number of posts from this topic, which I consider to be, at the very least, off-topic, and at times clearly in breach of the T&Cs of this board.

Any further postings in this topic that are also off-topic etc will also be deleted.
