Travel requirements to Nigeria for Indian citizens

Travellers need a visa to visit Nigeria for Business or Tourism.

A Nigerian eVisa is the fastest way to obtain a visa. Travellers can apply online. Once approved, travellers receive their eVisa confirmation electronically.

All travellers entering Nigeria must complete a Travel Declaration (Landing Card) to pre-process their arrival by providing travel and passport details. Travellers must complete this form online.

Landing cards are processed instantly, and travellers will receive a QR code and email upon completion.

Travellers are also required to complete an exit card when departing Nigeria.

Travellers need a valid passport to enter Nigeria. The traveller's passport must remain valid for at least 6 months after the traveller arrives in Nigeria. The passport must have at least 2 blank pages.

Travellers are required to show proof of a ticket for entry and exit from Nigeria if travelling by air.

Travellers must have proof of accommodation during their stay in Nigeria.
If travellers will be hosted by a relative or friend, the host must be a Nigerian status holder or a legal resident.

Travellers should consider:

• Yellow Fever vaccination;
• Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines;
• Typhoid vaccine for visits to smaller cities or rural areas;
• Meningococcal vaccine for areas that are part of the meningitis belt during the dry season;
• Routine vaccines including Polio and Measles.

Additional vaccine recommendations may apply. Consult your healthcare provider and check the source for details.

All travellers entering Nigeria must complete the Nigeria Health Declaration Form to provide their health and travel details.

Travellers can complete the form online before departure. Travellers who don't complete the form online will be provided with a paper version upon arrival in Nigeria.

After submission, travellers receive a copy of the completed form by email and can also download it directly.

• Health screening: While not always required, officials might ask for a health certificate or a medical exam upon arrival. This is more likely if you're coming from an area with a health outbreak or if you show signs of illness.
