Nigeria is one of the countries whose nationals applying for R.O.C. visitor visas must fulfil a special designated-countries procedure — applications are accepted for specific purposes only and may face extra document checks.
Visitor visas under this procedure are issued for the listed purposes only: invitation by R.O.C. government agencies on official missions; participating in international meetings or religious, athletic or cultural exchange activities held by organisations in Taiwan; visiting dependents with legal residence status (spouse, lineal relatives or siblings); conducting economic or commercial business (including accompanying spouse and children); crew members reporting for duty; and medical treatment. Plain tourism is not among them.
Prepare the standard visitor-visa set — a passport valid for at least six months, a duly completed application form with two photos taken within the past six months, an outbound ticket, and documents verifying the purpose of your visit — plus anything the mission requests for your case.
Nigerian applicants must submit their visitor-visa application at the designated mission: the Taipei Trade Office in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The office reviews the documents, may interview you, and makes the final decision.
After reviewing the documents and any interview, the mission makes the final decision. Under Article 12 of the Statute Governing Issuance of ROC Visas, MOFA and the overseas missions are not required to give any reason for a refusal.
