Types of Visa/Entry Permit
The knowledge of the various types of visa/entry permit is of crucial importance both to the applicant and to the company or organisation sponsoring him/her. This is because in the Nigerian visa system, the type that is given is tied to the purpose for which the journey is intended and any variation of the visa with the purpose of journey will render such a visa inappropriate for entry, leading to either a refusal of landing or deportation, in the case of a foreigner already in the country.
There are three main types of visa, viz.
(1) Ordinary Visa
(2) Diplomatic Visa
(3) Gratis Courtesy Visa

The Ordinary Visa is further divided as follows:
(a) Transit
(b) Single journey
(c) Multiple journeys
