Here’s a simplified guide to help you through the process:

1. Do Your Homework

Start by learning about Equatorial Guinea—its culture, languages (Spanish, French, and Portuguese), and way of life. This will help you settle in more comfortably.

Think about why you’re moving: Is it for work, school, or a fresh start? This will guide the rest of the process.

2. Get Your Paperwork in Order

Make sure your passport is valid for at least six more months.
Gather important documents like proof of finances, a clean criminal record, medical check-ups, and maybe an invitation letter if you know someone there.
You’ll need to apply for a visa through the nearest Equatorial Guinea embassy. Don’t worry—they’ll tell you exactly what they need from you.

3. Work, Study, or Live

If you’re moving for work, you’ll need a job offer first. Most companies will help you with the paperwork for a work permit.
If you’re going to study, apply to schools in advance and use your acceptance letter to get a student visa.
If you’re starting a business, research the process for entrepreneurs in Equatorial Guinea.

4. Find a Place to Stay

Look for housing options online or through contacts. It’s always good to have a place ready before you arrive.

5. Health and Insurance

Get vaccinated if needed (yellow fever vaccination is usually required).
Arrange health insurance that works in Equatorial Guinea—this is important.

6. Travel and Arrival

Book your flight and pack smartly—don’t forget essentials for a tropical climate.
Once you arrive, you might need to register with local authorities or apply for a residence permit.

7. Settle In

Take time to adjust to the local culture, learn some Spanish or French if you don’t already speak them, and explore your new community.

Moving to Nigeria from South Africa can be a rewarding adventure if you take the right steps. Here’s a friendly guide to help you through the process:

1. Figure Out Why You’re Moving

Are you going for work, to study, start a business, or reunite with family? Your reason will determine the type of visa and documents you’ll need.

2. Check Visa Requirements

Nigeria offers different types of visas, including:
Tourist Visa: For short visits to explore or visit loved ones.
Business Visa: For meetings, conferences, or professional activities.
Work Visa (STR Visa): For long-term employment.
Temporary Work Permit (TWP): For short-term projects.

Choose the one that fits your purpose.

3. Get Your Documents Ready

Here’s what you’ll likely need:
A passport valid for at least six more months.
Completed visa application form (available online).
Passport-sized photos.
Proof of funds (e.g., bank statements).
Yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory).
A return ticket.
Accommodation details (hotel booking or host’s address).
Invitation letter (if applicable, e.g., for work or family visits).

4. Apply for Your Visa

Online: Visit the Nigeria Immigration Service portal to start your application.
In-person: Submit your application and documents to the Nigerian High Commission or Consulate in South Africa.
Be prepared to wait a few days or weeks for processing, depending on the type of visa.

5. Plan Your Arrival

Health: Make sure you have your yellow fever vaccination certificate ready for inspection at the airport.
Accommodation: Confirm your housing arrangements ahead of time.
Registration: For long-term stays, you may need to register with Nigerian authorities upon arrival.

6. Settle In

Work Permits: If you’re working, your employer will help you regularize your stay by applying for a residence/work permit (CERPAC).
Explore and adapt: Learn about Nigerian culture, try the local food, and make connections. Brush up on common phrases in English or local languages like Yoruba, Hausa, or Igbo—it can go a long way in building relationships.

7. Be Prepared for the Unexpected

Moving to a new country always comes with surprises. Stay flexible, patient, and open-minded. It helps to join expat groups or local communities to make the transition smoother.

Bonus Tips:

Research the area where you’ll live to understand the cost of living and safety.
Be aware of any travel advisories and follow local guidelines.
Have health insurance that works in Nigeria.

When I gave birth to my baby girl who is three years old now, the father kept having er # #&ection many times I left her with him. I would curse and quarrel. What he would say was that she kicked him in that area. And that the peniiss has a sense of its own and I can not think otherwise. As weird as it was, I couldn't ask anyone if it was normal. I stopped noticing it until last week. Please has any dad ever experienced this with their kids
