When a multinational company hires a foreign professional to relocate to Nigeria, it often comes with high expectations. The CVs are stellar. The skills are rare. The value they bring to your company is undeniable.

But there’s one critical factor that’s often overlooked until it’s too late:

How smooth is their entry into the country?

Let’s paint a picture.

The Reality Many HR Teams Face

A reputable Nigerian construction firm recently hired a structural engineer from the UK for a major Lagos-based project. The HR team secured the offer letter, sorted the flights, and prepared for onboarding. But by the time he landed:

• His Subject to Regularization (STR) visa had inconsistencies
• There was no proper guide on immigration compliance
• The company wasn’t clear on CERPAC and quota management
• He struggled to settle into the Nigerian system

Despite their best intentions, the onboarding left him frustrated and anxious. The company had invested months and millions in sourcing him yet almost lost him due to preventable issues.

The True Cost of Poor Immigration Handling

Let’s be honest: hiring expatriates isn’t cheap. But losing them due to disorganized immigration support? That’s a loss no HR or Admin team should risk.

What many companies don’t realize is that immigration support goes beyond the visa. It’s about:

✅ Processing quotas legally and promptly
✅ Ensuring STR visas are accurate and timely
✅ Handling CERPAC applications with zero errors
✅ Guiding the employee through onboarding
✅ Managing renewals and extension timelines

Unfortunately, many in-house teams are already stretched and may not have the expertise or capacity to handle the complexities that come with expatriate immigration in Nigeria.
