Nigeria requires biometrics for visas

NIGERIA has rolled out
biometric visa requirements
and from October 25,
South Africans are required
to provide their biometrics
(fingerprints and facial
photograph) as part of their
visa application.
Biometric enrolment
requires applicants to
visit, in person, the
Nigerian Consulate in
Johannesburg.
In mid-October the
Consulate suspended
issuing visas after running
out of visa stickers. The
Consulate has since
acquired more stickers and
was expected to resume
issuing visas by Thursday,
October 26.
