Visa requirements for Nigerian citizens explained
Visa requirements for Nigerian citizens should not be confused with Visa requirements for Nigerien citizens.
Visa requirements for Nigerian citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed by the authorities of other states on citizens of Nigeria.
As of 2 July 2021, Nigerian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 45 countries and territories, ranking the Nigerian passport 98th in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]
To apply for a Dubai visa, Nigerian passport holders need a valid passport (Valid for at least 6 months from expected arrival date in Dubai.), recent photographs, and other documents based on the visa type.[2]
Where visa-free access is permitted, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission is at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Visitors engaging in activities other than tourism, including unpaid work, may require a visa or work permit.
Nigeria offers a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for eligible travelers, allowing them to obtain a visa upon entry. This process involves applying online, submitting necessary documents, and receiving an Electronic Travel Authorization Letter, which is presented at the border.[3]
The VOA is available for business travelers and citizens of African countries, excluding ECOWAS members.
