Nigeria eVisa for German citizens: How to apply

If you hold a German passport and plan to travel to Nigeria, you need an eVisa before departure. The application is completed online, and you’ll receive your eVisa, which must be presented on arrival in Nigeria.

We review applications to reduce errors, provide clear instructions, and support you throughout the process.

Do German citizens need a visa for Nigeria?

Yes, German citizens must obtain a visa before entering Nigeria. The most convenient option is the Nigeria eVisa, which you apply for online before traveling.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NIGERIA EVISA

Alongside the eVisa, all foreign travelers, including Germans, must also complete Nigeria’s digital Landing Card (also called the LEcard).

The Landing Card is filled out online before arrival and records details such as your passport number, nationality, travel itinerary, and contact information. It is mandatory for entry and is linked to your trip, meaning a new card must be completed for each journey.

Nigeria eVisa requirements for German travelers
