Matters needing attention in working in Nigeria

Alas, this sentence is ambiguous. That's an African country, pay attention!

Before going to Nigeria:

You have to apply for a work visa when you go, that is, a STR visa. This visa is valid for 3 months, because if you want to stay, you must apply for a long-term work visa. You must submit an application to the Nigerian embassy or consulate abroad or the Nigerian Immigration Bureau with relevant documents, which will be examined and approved by the Director of Immigration Bureau. Do you have a company? If so, you don't have to worry. If not, it will be very troublesome. If you are the owner and employee of an industrial and commercial enterprise registered in Nigeria, you have to bring your certificate to handle it in person. (You must apply for a residence permit, i.e. CERPAC card, from the Immigration Bureau within the validity period of STR visa. ) it's OK when you're done.

Need to submit a transit visa:

1, return ticket;

2. Travel exchange voucher;

3. There are enough funds to move forward;

4. A valid passport.

5. A copy of the invitation letter from the destination country, and the visa of the destination country has been signed on the passport.

That seems to be it.

Visa collection time: if there are no special circumstances, apply at 4 pm on Monday and Wednesday, and apply at 4 pm on Wednesday and Friday.

Visa fee:/kloc-0 RMB for short-term visa in 400 yuan within one month and RMB for visa in 500 yuan within 30 days and three months.

Long-term residence visas need to carry notarial certificates to the certification department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for double certification.

Note that all visa application materials submitted should be in English, or accompanied by English translation.

Entrance description

1. Animals and plants, drugs and internationally prohibited items are not allowed to enter the country.

2. You can bring up to $5,000 in cash each time you enter the country.

Take care of your passport, certificate and valuables. Passport, ID card, residence permit and driver's license should be copied.

When you arrive in China, you'd better have a reception unit or relatives and friends to meet you at the airport. Some illegal immigration officials and taxi drivers at Indonesia International Airport often make things difficult for citizens, extort money, and even lock our citizens in huts for no reason. In this case, our citizens should try to write down the official's name, alarm number, car number or other marks, and report the situation to our embassy or consulate in time afterwards.

5. From the airport to the city, the taxi fare is about 1500-3000 naira, and the standard room of a four-star hotel is about 150 USD per day.

6. Chinese citizens should strictly abide by the laws and regulations of the host country after entering the country. Tourists should not engage in profit-making activities. If you plan to work or do business in Nepal, you should go through the formalities in time. If the visa fails to complete the formalities and fails to return, the Nigerian Immigration Bureau will impose heavy penalties or even expel it. Don't ask immigration officials to stamp their passports with entry and exit stamps through improper channels to extend their stay. These seals are often forged, which leads to the denial of visas to third countries.

Description of medical conditions and medical insurance

The sanitary conditions in Nepal are very poor. Lack of environmental protection facilities and a large number of mosquitoes breed, so malaria, encephalitis, dracunculiasis, river blindness and hepatitis are rampant in Nepal; Typhoid fever and cholera are also popular; HIV carriers account for 8% of the national population. Due to historical reasons, Nepal's main medical equipment and medicines are imported, and the problem of lack of medical care and medicines is serious, and medical care and conditions need to be improved urgently. There are few large general hospitals and specialized hospitals. Most hospitals and clinics run by local people lack medical equipment and the disinfection level is not up to standard; There are not many clinics run by foreigners, and the fees are expensive, so ordinary people look down on the disease. In recent years, many China citizens have died of malaria, falls, acute nephritis and other diseases, but they have not received timely and appropriate treatment. Before coming to China, citizens of China should not only receive all preventive injections against infectious diseases in Africa at home, but also bring some commonly used drugs, such as artemisinin and Ketexin. Medicine in Nigeria is very expensive. A small box of Ketexin costs $6. Therefore, it is necessary to bring drugs in the country, not too much, and the customs is forbidden to enter the country. Pay attention to the rules of life and don't overwork!

Nepal has no medical insurance.

Security situation

The political situation in Nepal is unstable. China citizens (especially those who don't know English and have no relatives in Japan) should not go to Nepal alone. China citizens who have entered the country had better not go out at night; If you need to go out, bring some cash. When they meet gangsters, don't resist, hand over the money for life and report the case afterwards. It's best to rent an apartment, because there are security guards guarding the gate. Nepal's communication is backward, so it is best to carry a mobile phone at any time to keep in touch with the outside world in time.

Traffic safety and travel precautions

Except for the new city Abuja (the capital), roads, bridges and transportation facilities in other cities are in disrepair and lack of minimum maintenance. China citizens who have just arrived or come to Nigeria temporarily had better send a car to pick them up when traveling abroad. China citizens who have lived and worked in Nepal for a long time had better hire local drivers.

Other noteworthy issues.

1. At present, there are three overseas Chinese organizations in Nigeria. China citizens have something to contact. They are:

Nigeria China Peaceful Reunification Promotion Association

China (Nigerian) Federation of Industry and Commerce

Nigerian (Lagos) China Business Enterprise Association

2. China people should not listen to the lies of some intermediaries and petty criminals and blindly go to Nepal to find employment opportunities; Let alone use Nigeria as a springboard for smuggling to Europe. Many China people who have been cheated are homeless when they arrive in Nigeria.

3. China citizens who have lost their certificates, suffered work-related accidents, involved in civil disputes and criminal cases, or learned of the disappearance or death of China citizens should report to our embassy or consulate in time.

4. China citizens were killed in Nepal, so it is expensive to transport their bodies back to the mainland, and the anti-corrosion requirements are extremely strict. The general practice is to cremate on the spot and bring the ashes back. The courier company does not undertake the transportation of ashes.

5. In business activities, don't borrow local hukou and office facilities. It is necessary to follow the principle of "one-handed payment, one-handed delivery", and never deliver the goods if the payment is not in place, so as not to be cheated.

6. In case of a dispute between the laborers in China and the employed company, in addition to seeking the help of the embassy or consulate, they should contact the domestic dispatching unit in time.

7. Beware of the notorious "4 19" fraud. This kind of fraud is named after the definition in Chapter 4 19 of the Nigerian Criminal Code, that is, criminals say in unsolicited letters or faxes that a huge sum of money needs to be remitted to Nigeria, and a bank account is needed to help raise funds, and a certain percentage of commission is paid to those who provide accounts and help raise funds; But before that, in order to transfer funds, a fee must be paid in advance. So this kind of fraud is also called prepaid fraud. Chinese citizens should be vigilant and ignore such letters after receiving them.

Our citizens should not show their passports to anyone they are not familiar with, including the police. When you go out, you can leave your passport in your room and take a copy of your passport with you to avoid being blackmailed or lost.

Life preparation: Nigeria has a savanna climate with some tropical rainforests. The climate is hot and humid. Clothes are mainly short shirts. Take sunscreen. If there are too many, there will be no sunscreen.

Ok, the top is good, too. I'll add some more.

Live in your happy place!
