Nigerians and other residents of the United States seeking entry visas to the country will now submit their applications directly to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C., or the country’s Consulates in New York and Atlanta, following the suspension of the services of Online Integrated Solutions (OIS Services), the operator of Nigeria’s Visa Application Centres in the US.
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) announced this in a statement issued on Thursday, saying the suspension took effect in July 2026 and would remain in force until further notice.
According to the Service, the decision affects only visa application submissions previously handled by OIS Services and does not impact Nigeria’s electronic visa (e-Visa) platform.
“Effective from July 2026, the service of Online Integrated Solution (OIS Services), the operator of Nigeria’s Visa Application Centres in the United States of America, has been suspended until further notice,” the statement said.
With the suspension, applicants requiring regular visas are expected to submit their applications directly through the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C., or the Consulates-General in New York and Atlanta.
