Why applications on this route get refused

  • Sponsoring company lacks Expatriate Quota approval

    The Nigeria Immigration Service processes an R2A application against the sponsoring company's Ministry of Interior Expatriate Quota approval for that specific position, without it, the application doesn't meet the requirement.

    How to avoid it: Confirm with your employer that Expatriate Quota approval for your position is in place before you apply.

  • Working outside the sponsoring employer

    An R2A holder must work only for the sponsoring employer named on the visa.

    How to avoid it: Apply for a fresh visa and CERPAC if you change employer, rather than continuing to work for a different company.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
