The Embassy of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria in Kyiv, Ukraine, wishes to draw the attention of
Nigerian nationals residing in Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova,
and Georgia to the implications of enlisting in foreign military forces. 2. While the Embassy recognizes the varied circumstances in which
our citizens may find themselves while abroad, Nigerians contemplating
military enlistment are strongly encouraged to consider the legal
frameworks that govern such decisions, both in Nigeria and in their respective
host countries. Enlisting in foreign military service may have
significant implications for a citizen's immigration status and overall
security, as there are specific international regulations on this practice with
legal status consequences.

Such enlistment may affect residency rights, travel prospects, and career pathways. The Embassy strongly advises Nigerians residing in Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, and Georgia to carefully evaluate all aspects of foreign military enlistment before making any commitments. 4. Citizens requiring further clarification or assistance are encouraged to reach out via the Embassy's hotlines and email address as shown below.
