How to get a Bahamas visa for citizens of Nigeria

Are you planning a vacation to the Bahamas from Nigeria but uncertain about the visa requirements for Nigerian citizens? Let us explain everything you need about the Bahamas visa application process.

What is the Bahamas Tourist eVisa?

The Bahamas Tourist eVisa is an electronic visa that you apply for online. This visa authorizes a traveler to enter the country legally. The Bahamas embassy or consulate issues it on behalf of the Bahamian government.

Depending on your travel needs, this travel document can be issued as a single-entry or multiple-entry visa. Travelers must present their Bahamian visa at the border or airport on arrival.

Please note the Bahamas eVisa is not the Bahamas travel health visa.

How long is the Bahamas tourist visa valid for?

A single-entry visa can be obtained for 90 days validity or a multiple-entry visa for 12 months. The length of time depends on your intended stay.

To apply for a multiple-entry visa, you must have at least three approved single-entry visas for the Bahamas in the past.
