Background
World leaders met in Marrakech, Morocco on 11 December 2018, for
the conference on Global Compact for Migration to adopt the global
compact for safe, orderly and regular migration.
It is expected that the pact will encourage greater
international cooperation to better address the world's
migration challenges.
In line with the agreement, the Nigeria Immigration Service
(NIS) has released guidelines for the e-registration of foreigners
in Nigeria.
The Migrant e-Registration Guidelines ("the guide")
highlights the process through which an immigrant in Nigeria can be
registered with the NIS.
Objective
The guide provides the necessary information and requirements
for migrants residing in Nigeria to be properly documented in line
with global best practices.
