Visa Requirements Overview

To facilitate a smooth travel experience, diasporean delegates requiring visa are advised to ensure they have a conference registration confirmation letter, which can serve as consular support for visa applications. Additionally, immigration support is available to assist with any visa-related queries.

As of May 1, 2025, Nigeria has transitioned to a fully electronic visa (e-Visa) system, replacing the previous Visa on Arrival (VoA) policy. Travelers can now apply for short-stay visas online through the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) website or its designated e-Visa portal, with approvals typically granted within 24 to 48 hours.

Key points to note include the discontinuation of the Visa on Arrival policy, the exclusive use of the e-Visa system for short-stay visas, and the importance of referring to the official NIS website for the latest updates and accurate information. This streamlined process aims to enhance efficiency and convenience for all travelers. Use the green button below.
