The Story⚡
The visa office opens for the holidays, but festive cheer quickly collides with familiar bureaucratic chaos as the officers reunite.
Tell Me More
Visa On Arrival, the Nigerian comedy web series from Accelerate TV, brings back its ensemble of immigration officers in a timely Christmas Special for Season 8. Released on December 19, 2025, this episode reunites the team—narcissistic Francis (Bovi Ugboma), no-nonsense Hope (Real Warri Pikin), and their colleagues—in the fictional World Immigration Service office. Applicants arrive with holiday travel plans, only to face the officers’ contrasting styles: unsolicited sermons, creative denials, and office antics that turn gift exchanges and seasonal greetings into sources of comedy.
The special captures the essence of December in Nigeria, where family reunions and end-of-year trips dominate conversations. Amid the bustle of Detty December—concerts, parties, and homecomings—the episode reflects the real frustrations and humor of travel preparations. Gifts appear in interviews, Christmas decorations clutter the desk, and the officers navigate holiday pressures, blending everyday Nigerian experiences with satirical takes on bureaucracy. The full Season 8 begins January 2, 2026, with weekly episodes, but this standalone special serves as a perfect entry point.
In Summary
Stream the Christmas Special now on the Accelerate TV YouTube channel. It’s a light, relatable watch to enjoy during the holidays.
