The Nigeria Immigration Service has commenced enforcement action nationwide against foreign nationals who have overstayed their visas or violated entry conditions in Nigeria.

In a statement on Wednesday, NIS said that the action followed the expiration of the federal government’s Expired Visa Initiative, which ended at midnight on September 30.

The amnesty, announced on July 5, allowed foreigners with expired immigration status to regularise their stay in Nigeria without penalties.

The agency stated that the enforcement exercise, effective October 1, would target specific categories of foreigners.

This, it said, included holders of expired visas on arrival, holders of expired single- and multiple-entry short-visit or business visas, as well as individuals with expired Comprehensive Expatriate Residence Permits and automated cards.

The agency said that foreign nationals found to have violated immigration laws would face sanctions, including payment of overstay penalties, removal from the country, and possible restrictions on future entry into Nigeria.

Overstaying for less than three months results in removal, a fine of $15 per day for each day overstayed, or a two-year entry ban.

Overstaying between three months and one year attracts removal, a $15-per-day penalty, or a five-year entry ban.

Overstaying for one year or more attracts removal and a 10-year or permanent entry ban.

The statement reiterated NIS’s commitment to ensuring lawful migration, safeguarding national security, and promoting transparency and efficiency across all immigration processes.
