As of January 1, 2024, visa policies in six countries have undergone significant changes, impacting international travelers. These modifications range from the discontinuation of specific visa programs to the introduction of streamlined processes tailored for digital nomads, reflecting a shift in immigration policies.

Here are six notable visa changes affecting Nigerians:

Netherlands Ends ‘Golden Visa’ Program:

The Netherlands’ Immigration and Naturalization Service (NLS) officially terminated the ‘Golden Visa’ program on January 1, 2024. This program, which granted residence permits for substantial financial investments, is no longer available.

Greece Enhances Digital Nomad Visa Application:

Greece revamped its Digital Nomad Visa application process effective January 1, 2024. In-country applications for the visa are no longer accepted; instead, applicants must submit through Greek consular offices in their home country or country of residence.

Canada Reopens Caregiver Programs:

Canada reopened two significant caregiver pilot programs, the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot, accepting new applications from January 1, 2024.

Updated Wage Requirements in Canada:

Starting January 1, 2024, Canada implemented updated wage requirements for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. These changes aim to ensure compliance with Canadian labour standards for employers, skilled workers, and immigrants.

Kenya Introduces Visa-Free Entry:

Kenya announced visa-free entry for all visitors starting January 1, 2024. Instead of traditional visa processes, visitors will obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) through a dedicated online platform, eliminating the need for physical forms, appointments, and potential delays.

Kuwait Introduces Family Visas for Expatriates:

Kuwait unveiled plans to introduce ‘Article 22 visas,’ allowing skilled expatriates, such as doctors and university professors, to bring their families into the country. This initiative aims to provide an avenue for qualified professionals to reside in Kuwait with their families.”
