Document background
An Immigration Letter is a critical document in the Nigerian immigration process, required for various purposes including business visits, work permits, student visas, and family reunification. The letter must adhere to Nigerian immigration laws and regulations, particularly the Immigration Act 2015 and its associated regulations. It serves as a formal communication tool that outlines the purpose of immigration, provides details about the applicant and sponsor (if applicable), and includes supporting information necessary for immigration authorities to make informed decisions. The document is commonly used by organizations bringing in foreign workers, educational institutions accepting international students, or individuals sponsoring family members. The content and structure of the Immigration Letter vary depending on the type of visa or permit being sought, but it must always include certain essential elements such as applicant information, purpose of visit, duration of stay, and compliance statements.
