Visa Information

It is your responsibility to apply for a passport, visa or any other travel document you may require and to demonstrate to consular officials that you are properly classifiable as a visitor under the Nigerian constitution and law. NAPE cannot assist you with the interview process, nor can anyone representing the sponsoring organizations call an embassy or consulate on your behalf to provide support for granting a visa.

If you require a visa letter from NAPE, you must have fully paid and be registered for the convention. You may request a letter by sending an email to osuagwu.l@nape.org.ng. This letter is provided by NAPE for visa application purposes with regard to the annual conference only. All expenses involved with attending the conference are your responsibilities.
