Contrary to popular opinion, securing a Nigerian visit visa is a herculean task for many foreigners but with proper documentation it can be less stressful. The following steps are essential in successfully applying for a Nigerian visit visa


Passport Requirements:

Try to get the Yellow fever certificate just in case you are asked at the point of entry

Make sure your passport validity exceeds the validity of your stay in Nigeria

Have the contact details of the person you are coming to visit with you just in case you need to verify some information with him

Good luck
