Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I use these templates for permanent employment visas?

A: No. These templates are specifically for Temporary Work Permits (TWP) for assignments up to 6 months. Permanent employment requires STR visa followed by CERPAC, which uses different application procedures.

Q: Do I need to hire an immigration lawyer or agent to use these templates?

A: No. The templates are designed for self-service use. The step-by-step guide provides detailed instructions for filling each section. Many companies successfully prepare their own TWP applications using professional templates.

Q: Are these templates current with 2026 immigration requirements?

A: Yes. Templates reflect current Nigerian Immigration Service requirements under the Nigeria Visa Policy 2020. However, immigration rules can change, so always verify current requirements before submitting.

Q: Can I edit the templates to match my specific situation?

A: Yes. Templates are provided as editable Word documents. You fill in your company details, expatriate information, and assignment specifics. The structure and required sections remain consistent.

Q: What if my application gets rejected even using these templates?

A: Templates significantly reduce rejection risk by including all required information in proper format. However, approvals depend on the strength of your justification for needing foreign expertise and completeness of supporting documents. The Common Rejection Reasons guide helps you avoid the most frequent problems.

Q: How long does TWP processing take?

A: Processing times vary based on application completeness, immigration office workload, and embassy location. The Timeline Planning Guide explains factors affecting processing duration, but we cannot provide specific timeframes as they change.

Q: Can the expatriate work for multiple companies on a TWP?

A: No. TWP is issued for a specific sponsoring company. The expatriate can only work for that company during the permit period.

Q: Is the TWP renewable?

A: The R11 TWP is not renewable. If the assignment extends beyond 6 months, consider applying for a different visa category from the start.
