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).

The N6D visa is a specialized residency permit for aged parents (65+) of foreign nationals holding specific Permanent Residence Visas in Nigeria. It facilitates family reunification for retirees and highly skilled workers, though it strictly prohibits any form of employment. The visa's validity is tethered to the principal sponsor's status, requiring renewal in alignment with the primary permit.
