Verified practical details
You don't need a visa to enter Nigeria, but here are some practical details worth knowing before you travel:
Fee
The official evisa.immigration.gov.ng portal does not show the fee until an application is started, and neither the Immigration Service nor the Nigerian embassies we checked publish it, so we do not give a figure. It is paid online by card at the end of the application, and the Immigration Service warns that no third party is authorised to collect it.
