Overview

This visa is designed for aged parents (65 years and above) of foreign nationals who hold a Permanent Residence Visa (PRV) in Nigeria under specific categories (Investor, Highly Skilled, or Retirement).

It facilitates family reunification for retirees and highly skilled workers, though it strictly prohibits any form of employment.
