About This Program

Nigeria's N3A Investor Visa grants a 5-year renewable residence permit to foreign investors who commit at least $250,000 to the Nigerian economy. As Africa's largest economy by GDP and most populous nation (220M+), Nigeria offers unmatched market access. Lagos is the undisputed commercial capital of West Africa and one of the world's fastest-growing cities. The tech ecosystem - home to unicorns like Flutterwave and Paystack - attracts global venture capital. Nigeria is also pursuing a Citizenship by Investment bill (passed the House of Representatives in 2025), which could create an additional pathway in the near future.
