  • The official source does not state the complete answer to this question for this route.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Applicants gather the documentation, apply online (embassy), submit the visa requirements and pay the visa fees. The visa is valid 90 days from issuance and extension is not applicable; it is a multiple-entry residence permit whose stay is subject to the validity of the principal's status, the holder is not permitted to work and may reside in Nigeria only, and family or group applications are not available. The official source does not state whether or how the status can become independent or longer-term.
