Traveller vetting & authorization

Supporting credible travel through structured verification.

The Traveller Vetting & Authorization system is designed to strengthen the credibility of Nigerian travellers by verifying financial capacity, employment or business standing, and travel intent before visa submission. This process supports embassies by reducing incomplete, inconsistent, or high-risk applications and encourages the use of registered, professional travel operators.

Who This Is For

Leisure and cultural travellers
Pilgrims and faith-based travellers
Business and conference travellers
Short-term study and training participants
Migration and mobility applicants (where applicable)
