PUBLIC NOTICE SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT The Embassy of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, Kyiv, Ukraine (resident in Vilnius, Lithuania) wishes to
inform all Nigerian nationals residing in Ukraine, Lithuania, Georgia, Latvia,
and Estonia that the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) is currently undertaking
critical upgrades to its systems. These enhancements, while necessary for
long-term service improvement, may temporarily affect the passport production
process. 2. The
Mission, therefore, wishes to advise applicants, especially those travelling
from outside Vilnius for biometric acquisition, to factor in the possibility of
extended processing times. The acquisition and documentation process may span beyond
the normal waiting period, and applicants are encouraged to plan their travel
and accommodation accordingly. 3. The
general public is reminded that consular services at the Embassy are available
strictly from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, Mondays to Thursdays only. All
applicants must book appointments in advance via the Embassy’s official website
before visiting the Chancery. 4. In
addition, applicants are also advised to come along with copies of their
uploaded documents, including the certificate of identification from their
State/Local Government of origin, please. Applicants are to note
that, in line with this new government policy, passports are now produced in
Nigeria and thereafter forwarded to the Embassy via courier service for
distribution. 5. The
Embassy sincerely regrets any inconvenience these disruptions may cause and assures
all applicants that efforts are underway to ensure a timely resolution.

Embassy of Nigeria, Kyiv - Ukraine, Vilnius – Lithuania. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVISORY NOTICE CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ENLISTMENT IN FOREIGN MILITARY FORCES
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.
3. Beyond legal considerations, enlisting in foreign military service carries inherent risks, including those related to personal safety and future commitments. 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. Enquiry line:
