The validity for the Temporary Work Permit (TWP) is a minimum of 90 days initially.  Approval for this permit will be done by the Comptroller of Nigerian Immigration Services (CGIS). In the recent times, the process to apply for a temporary work permit has been reduced to 48 hours.

 

After you apply the corporate body in Nigeria approves the application and sends a request to the CGI stating the name of the visitor, passport details, origin, duration of the visit, and details to which province the visa is to be issued lastly a letter accepting immigration responsibility. Later the employer would attach a few more documents such as the profile of the company; the nature of work the expat will be doing and the duration of the contract. The CGIS then sends an approval to expat an approval for the TWP.
