The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) on Tuesday said that Nigerians in diaspora with expired passport would no longer require visas to visit home.
Reacting to inquiries about the new visa policy of the Federal Government, Mr Tony Akuneme, the NIS Public Relations Officer impressed that;
“The status of the new policy is that Nigerians with dual citizenship are free to come to Nigeria but with their Nigeria passport even if it’s expired.”
“You have to show that you are a Nigerian, that is why we say they can come with their expired passport. Dual citizenship means carrying two passports.
“Unlike before that when your passport is expired you will not be allowed to come to the country, now we can allow them to travel in with their expired Nigeria passport”
“The whole essence is that when they arrive, they must renew their Nigeria passport before going back,” the NIS spokesman added.
