eVisa or regular Nigeria tourist visa?
The Nigeria tourist eVisa is quick and fully online, but it is single entry, valid for 30 to 90 days, and can't be extended. The regular Nigeria tourist visa suits you better if you're planning a longer stay, or several visits to family. We'll tell you which fits your plans.
How to apply for a Nigeria tourist visa
You apply online through the Nigeria Immigration Service portal and pay the visa fee. You then attend an appointment at the Nigerian visa application centre in the UK to submit your passport, documents and biometrics. Your passport is returned once the visa is issued.
Visiting family in Nigeria
If you're staying with family or friends, an invitation letter from your host with a copy of their Nigerian ID or passport helps your application. It should give their address and confirm they'll host you.
