What this means for doctors
Federal Republic of Nigeria does not currently have a route in our index that maps one-to-one to doctors, so the general routes below are the place to start. Doctors work in a regulated field, so immigration approval is only half the journey: in most countries you must also clear a separate professional-registration or licensing step before you can practise in Federal Republic of Nigeria. That recognition process often takes as long as the visa itself, so it is worth starting in parallel.
The most-used skilled route into Federal Republic of Nigeria overall is the CERPAC (Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card); it is not specific to doctors but is worth understanding as the benchmark route.
