Nigeria eVisa
The Nigeria eVisa, officially known as the Nigeria Tourism Visa (F5A), is designed for travelers visiting Nigeria for tourism, family visits, business meetings, or medical treatment.
With this visa, you can:
- 🏞️ Explore Nigeria’s cultural sites, national parks, and bustling markets
- 👨👩👧👦 Visit family or friends residing in Nigeria
- 💼 Attend business meetings, conferences, or trade fairs
The eVisa does not allow you to work, study, or take up long-term residency in Nigeria. For employment, academic programs, or extended stays, you’ll need to apply for a different visa.
The Nigeria eVisa is typically valid for 90 days, allows single entry, and lets you stay for up to 30 days per visit.
To apply for the eVisa, you’ll need:
- 🛂 A passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date
- 📸 A recent passport photo (white background recommended)
- 📝 Birth certificate (for minors)
- ✈️ Proof of onward or return travel (specific to Indian travelers)
- 🏨 Proof of accommodation (specific to Indian travelers)
- 💳 Payment for the visa fee and iVisa service fee
Nigeria Landing Card
The Nigeria Landing Card is a required digital entry form for travelers arriving in Nigeria. It registers your arrival details with Nigerian immigration authorities and helps speed up entry procedures at the airport.
With this Landing Card, you can:
- ✅ Enter Nigeria without needing to fill out a paper form on arrival
- ✅ Provide your travel and contact details to immigration authorities in advance
- ✅ Move through border checks more efficiently upon arrival
The Landing Card does not replace your Nigeria eVisa or serve as a visa. You will still need a valid visa to enter Nigeria.
The Landing Card is valid for a single entry and must be completed within 72 hours before your departure to Nigeria.
To complete the Landing Card, you’ll need:
- 🛂 A passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date
- 📝 Basic personal and travel details
- ✈️ Your arrival flight information
- 🏨 Your accommodation address in Nigeria
- 💳 Payment for the iVisa service fee
