Nigeria Travel Guide

Nigeria's tourist and business e-Visa costs 160 US dollars and covers a 90 day stay, applied for at the official portal, immigration.gov.ng, with processing typically taking 5 to 7 business days, longer during busy periods. The approval letter needs to be downloaded and printed, then presented on arrival at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, or another approved entry point, the e-Visa is valid at every international airport in the country, Kano included. A separate Visa on Arrival exists, but it requires a pre-approval letter obtained online before you travel, a genuine prerequisite rather than a walk-up option, and recent reforms have extended VoA specifically to high net worth investors and frequent business travelers, at the VoA desk for biometric capture and visa sticker issuance.

Every traveler over 9 months old needs to present both yellow fever and polio vaccination certificates on arrival, the International Certificate of Vaccination, or yellow card, has to show the yellow fever shot was given at least 10 days before you arrive, not something to get done at the airport on your way through.
