Limits of the record- The F7M page (e1c0e443d71c6543.txt) gives only 'Eligibility: Employees/volunteers of Nigerian-based NGOs.', whose text is already cited in R2 of this via; no qualification, experience, salary or occupation condition is stated.
04What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?
Formal employment is not permitted beyond NGO-related activities. Under family and group applications, the official page lists group applications for up to 10 persons.

05How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?
The visa is valid for 90 days from issuance and admits a single entry with a permitted stay not exceeding 30 days. The NIS page records the visa as not extendable and states neither a renewal procedure nor any progression from this route to longer-term residence.

Limits of the record- The NIS page states only the visa validity, the permitted stay and an extendability marker. It does not establish the renewal procedure, any limit on renewals, or a route from this permit to permanent residence or citizenship.
These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
