Nigeria provides a variety of visa options, such as the new e-Visa for short journeys (WITHIN NIGERIA) and the Tourist, Business, Transit, Subject to Regularization (STR), Diplomatic, and Temporary Work Permit (TWP) visas.
Via the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) visa application portal, applications may be submitted online. The online application must be completed, the visa cost must be paid, and an appointment must be made at the closest Nigerian embassy or consulate in order to submit supporting documentation and undergo biometrics.
A valid passport, filled-out visa application form, recent passport-sized photos, evidence of sufficient funds, an invitation letter (for business or visitation visas), hotel reservations or proof of accommodations (for tourist visas), and proof of payment for the visa are usually required documents.
Depending on the applicant's location and the type of visa, processing dates may differ. It usually takes five to fifteen working days, but if more paperwork is needed or it is during the busiest travel times, it could take longer.
The cost of the visa varies based on the nationality of the applicant and the type of visa. Fees for the majority of visa types can vary from $160 to $250. It is essential to confirm the exact cost that applies to your nationality at the Nigerian embassy or consulate or on the NIS website.
