The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) announces that it has disengaged Online Integrated Solution (OIS Services) from handling Nigerian visa application services in the United States, effective immediately. In a statement attributed to the NIS Public Relations Officer, DCI Akinsola Akinlabi, the service says the decision affects prospective travellers and Nigerians residing in the US who use the existing visa application and submission channels managed by OIS Services. Multiple outlets report that travellers seeking Nigerian visas are now required to submit their applications through the NIS-approved process, as the OIS arrangement is no longer active. Premium Times notes that the NIS does not provide a reason for the suspension and does not specify when the arrangement may be reviewed or resumed. The NIS statement also frames the action as a disengagement of the third-party service provider, rather than a change in visa eligibility requirements, but it does not outline further operational details within the reported accounts. The suspension therefore shifts responsibility for visa application handling away from OIS Services in the US until further notice.
