FG plans cancellation of visa-on-arrival policy, set to introduce new policy

The federal government has disclosed that it plans to cancel the Visa-on-Arrival policy, saying “it is not working”.

However, the government set to introduce landing and exit cards, which prospective visitors would pre-fill before coming into the country.

The federal government had in 2020 unveiled the visa-on-arrival policy – a class of short-stay visas issued at the point of port of entry.

Dr Tunji-Ojo had, on assumptions of office in 2023, said the Visa on Arrival Policy will henceforth be based on reciprocity.
