Nigeria e-Visa explained
How Nigeria's e-Visa works — applying online through the official evisa.immigration.gov.ng portal — in plain language, with official sources.
Important
Nigeria offers an online e-Visa application through the official portal at evisa.immigration.gov.ng. This page explains the system in plain language, drawing on the official Nigeria Immigration Service guidance; always use the official portal and confirm the requirements for your nationality and visa class.
Applying online
According to the Nigeria Immigration Service, the e-Visa lets applicants apply online and receive an electronic confirmation to travel, rather than only applying in person.
Use only the official portal
Apply only through the official Nigeria e-Visa portal at evisa.immigration.gov.ng. Look-alike third-party sites are not the government service.
Choose the right visa class
The portal covers several visa classes, such as the Tourism Visa (F5A) and Business Visa (F4A). Confirm which class suits your trip before you apply.
