Applicants gather the documentation, apply online (via embassy), submit the visa requirements and pay the visa fees. The visa is valid 90 days from issuance and extension is not applicable; it is a multiple-entry residence permit whose stay is subject to the validity of the principal's status, the holder is not permitted to work and may reside in Nigeria only, and family or group applications are not available. The official source does not state whether or how the status can become independent or longer-term.
