Document background
The Immigration Guarantor Form is a mandatory document required by Nigerian immigration authorities for foreign nationals seeking to enter or remain in Nigeria for various purposes including work, study, or extended stays. This document, fundamental to Nigeria's immigration control system, establishes legal accountability and financial responsibility of a Nigerian citizen or permanent resident for the immigrant's conduct and maintenance. The guarantor must meet specific eligibility criteria including age, employment status, and financial capability. The form includes comprehensive personal information of both parties, explicit financial undertakings, and legal obligations of the guarantor. It must be properly executed before authorized officials and typically requires supporting documentation such as proof of the guarantor's identity, residence, and financial status. The Immigration Guarantor Form is a critical requirement under the Immigration Act 2015 and associated regulations, serving as a key mechanism for maintaining immigration compliance and ensuring responsible sponsorship of foreign nationals in Nigeria.
