CERPAC Information by MrsSholagbade16: 1:17pm On May 24, 2016 |
Hi everyone I am just enquiring about CERPAC'S. I am a Niger-wife and was wondering how CERPAC'S work. Like, when i go back to UK, would I still need to buy a visa to go back to Nigeria when I wanted to or would I just show my cerpac and how long does it take to get one of these? Thankyou in advance guys |
