The Nigerian passport is ranked 189th in the world as of March 2023. As a result, 26 nations around the world do not require a visa for Nigerian nationals to travel there. Nigerian passport holders must, however, apply for a visa in advance in order to access the following nations.
In order to travel without a visa, your passport must still be valid, often for six months after the date of departure, and you must get travel health insurance in accordance with the country of destination’s regulations.
An e-visa can be obtained in a manner that is essentially identical to that of a conventional visa. However, in this instance, you can submit your application—along with the money for the visa—online and avoid having to go to a visa application facility.
Following the approval of your application, you will receive an email confirming the status of your visa along with a document that you must print off and carry with you while entering the country. Although your visa will be registered electronically, some officials may still want a hard copy of the permit, so it’s crucial to carry one with you at all times.
