How to Apply for a Nigeria Visa in Orlando

The city of Orlando, located in the Central Florida region of the United States and known as “the City Beautiful”, is ranked as America’s 23rd most-populous city.  The Orlando metropolitan area has a population of 2.6 million people and is home to several theme parks including Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios.  Orlando’s theme parks, natural attractions, and year-round warm weather make it one of the most-visited cities in the world.  The Orlando metropolitan area includes various cities and towns such as Kissimmee, Sanford, St. Cloud, Winter Garden, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Apopka, and other municipalities.  While the population of Nigerians living in Orlando is not huge, there are restaurants in the area where Americans can prepare for their trip by trying out the country’s national dish, jollof rice and moin-moin.

Known as the “Giant of Africa”, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and seventh most-populous in the world.  Nigeria also has the largest economy in Africa and is well known for its abundance of natural resources such as oil and gas.  Lagos is the most populous city and economic hub of the nation.  The country also has a growing industrial sector and is producing manufactured goods for export to other West African nations.  Although there is no Disney World or Universal Studios in Nigeria, American visitors will be sure to get plenty of entertainment from the energy and charisma of the Nigerian people.  Americans will love the nightlife and music, along with the multitude of stylish restaurants and bars on Victoria Island in Lagos.  While most American tourists will visit Lagos, others may venture out to Abuja, Ibadan, Benin City, and Calabar.   

Obtaining a Nigerian Visa from Orlando

Visas are issued by the Nigerian government in the United States.  The Nigerian government is represented by two consulates (one in Atlanta and the other in New York City) and one embassy, located in Washington, D.C.  To apply for a Nigerian visa in Orlando, you must contact OIS Services (the contractor for the Nigerian government) and appear in person at their office in Atlanta.  Here is the physical address and phone number of OIS Services in Atlanta:

OIS Services
918 Holcomb Bridge Road, Suite 204
Roswell, GA 30076
Tel: 678-514-3263

It is a good idea to review the requirements for the visa on the Nigerian consulate website in Atlanta: https://nigeria-consulate-atl.org/visas/.  As mentioned on the consulate website, you will apply for the visa online here: https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/.  You will make payment to the Nigerian Immigration Service through Innovate 1 Services using that same website.  You will then gather all the necessary documents for the type of visa you are applying for (tourist, business, etc.) and appear in person at the OIS Services office in Atlanta.
