Visa requirements for Nigerian citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed by the authorities of other states on citizens of Nigeria.
As of 2 October 2024, Nigerian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 45 countries and territories, ranking the Nigerian passport 94th in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index. [1]
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. [2]
The VOA is available for business travelers and citizens of African countries, excluding ECOWAS members.
