Nigerian travellers can now apply for visas without presenting their passports, according to a statement made by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Additionally, the president revealed that Nigerian visitors and entrepreneurs who met the requirements might be “granted a five-year multiple entry visa.”
In Cape Town, South Africa, Ramaphosa gave a speech on Tuesday to kick off the 11th session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission (BNC).
With policies like five-year multiple entry visas, the South African leader said that his nation had streamlined its visa procedures to make travel easier for Nigerian visitors and businesspeople.
He said, “Our efforts to create a favourable environment include our simplified visa process for Nigerian business people to travel to South Africa. Qualifying Nigerian business people can be granted a five-year multiple entry visa.Â
Additionally, he reaffirmed South Africa’s commitment to tackling the difficulties encountered by businesses in both nations and removing barriers to increased investment.
