Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has stated that foreigners who exceed their visa duration by three months will face a five-year entry ban, while those who remain in the country illegally for a year will be barred from re-entering Nigeria for 10 years.
This is against the backdrop of stricter immigration policy introduced by the Federal Government to tackle the issue of visa overstays in the country.
Tunji-Ojo explained that Nigeria’s visa-on-arrival policy has not been scrapped, the government is prepared to take a firm stance on visa violations.
“If you overstay your Nigerian visa for three months, we will ban you for five years.
“If you overstay for one year, we will ban you for ten years,” Tunji-Ojo said while speaking on Arise TV.
