CONSULAR SERVICES
Official Consular Visits
In order to promote the welfare and guarantee the basic rights of all
Nigerians in Brazil, this Embassy also undertakes periodic consular visits
to major cities in Brazil to meet with bona fide Nigerian citizens, students
or render support to Nigerians in prison or in distress. The Embassy also
encourages the formation and functioning of Nigerian Associations as non-political
and non-profit organizations devoted to the welfare and progress of the
Community of Nigerians in Brazil on a city/national basis.
Generally, the Embassy advises all Nigerians resident or visiting Brazil
to take necessary precautions in ensuring their safety and security and
avoid involvement in crimes or illegal business activities.
In addition, it must be stressed that local laws, rules and regulations
must be complied with by all Nigerians residing or visiting Brazil. In
case of doubt regarding Brazilian immigration or commercial regulations,
the Consular or Economic Sections of the Embassy should be contacted immediately
for clarification.
Dual Citizenship
In line with the provisions of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, the Embassy
recognizes Nigerians who have citizenship by birth, registration, naturalization
as well as those possessing dual citizenship. However, Nigerians, who
possess Brazilian nationality, maybe subject to other laws that impose
some special obligations on Brazilian citizens. Such Nigerians should
contact the Host Government for necessary information in this regard.
It is necessary to point out that Nigerians holding Brazilian passports
(Dual Nigerian & Brazilian citizens) will be required to meet all
the conditions applicable to non-Nigerians when intending to visit Nigeria
with their Brazilian passports (except provision of letter of invitation,
if proof of Nigerian citizenship is evident).
COURTEOUS SERVICE
The Embassy wishes to state that the Consular Section will strive to render
all services to the general public in an efficient, transparent and courteous
manner in consonance with the above-conditions explicitly listed above.
The conditions for the issuance of Nigerian Visa, Passports and other
documents are stipulated according to the laws, rules and regulations
of the Federal Government of Nigeria and can be changed without prior
notice to the public. The Embassy will strive to update the Consular &
Immigration Rules and Regulations.
However, in case of any unsatisfactory service, kindly notify the Embassy
through the following e-mail: admin@nigerianembassy-brazil.org.
