In any case, the truth of the matter is that the Nigerian Immigration Service has an extensive rundown of the charges on its site, demonstrating plainly the distinctions as far as nations, the visa sort and number of passages.
In the event that what the NIS shows on the site is anything to pass by, nationals of Mauritania, Monaco, Morroco, New Zealand, Panama, Uruguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Burma, Dominican, Chile and Colombia are charged in the middle of N100 and N 200 for a solitary section Nigerian visa. For those petitioning various passages, the expense is duplicated by the quantity of entrances they are looking for.
Weighed against the present conversion scale, it suggests that a Nigerian visa is as yet trying for a large portion of a dollar or somewhat over that.
Candidates from the United States are charged the most elevated. They pay N14,000 for either a solitary or numerous passage visa.
Russia and other previous individuals from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are alongside the US, and a visa application from the locale draws in N10,500.

Taking into account the way that the movement administration manages numerous individuals in distinctive parts of the world, it is normal that the certainties exhibited on its site are substantial as this is a significant stage where potential guests to Nigeria can get to it.
Numerous Nigerian foundations have, on the other hand, yet to hold onto online operation as a key piece of their corporate uprightness. Consequently, what such associations, particularly government services, divisions and organizations, tag new data are, at times, one or more years stale.
Indeed, even the NIS is not free from the practice, which guests find troubling.
