• The Subject to Regularization (STR) Visa is a long-term employment visa issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to foreign nationals who have secured a job, employment contract, or long-term assignment in Nigeria. It is the correct visa for expatriates who will live and work in Nigeria, receiving a salary or employment benefits from a Nigerian employer. NOTE: The STR Visa, historically used as a gateway for long-term employment in Nigeria, is now being largely replaced by a digital process with the introduction of e-CERPAC. Rather than entering with an STR visa and then regularizing manually, companies now apply for the residence permit directly via the e-CERPAC portal, using the new Expatriate Administration System (EAS). This reform simplifies the immigration regularization journey, increases transparency, and reduces paperwork.
