If you’ve traveled to Nigeria before, you probably got used to the Visa on Arrival (VoA) process—fill out a form, land in Nigeria, and sort out the visa at the airport. Simple, right? Well, not anymore.
You might have heard that Nigeria recently changed its visa policy (because, of course, they did), and now, the usual Visa-on-Arrival process is no longer the same. If you were planning to just show up and get your visa stamped at the airport, you might be in for a rude shock.
Here’s what’s different, what you need to do now, and—most importantly—how to avoid stress.
What’s Changed with Nigeria’s Visa on Arrival?
As of 2025, Nigeria has scrapped the old Visa-on-Arrival system in favor of a more automated, pre-approved e-Visa process. This means:
- No more getting a visa when you land.
- You must apply online BEFORE you travel.
- Processing now takes 24-48 hours instead of on-the-spot approval.
- Your visa is issued digitally—no more physical stickers.
In short: If you don’t apply and get approval before your trip, you WILL NOT be allowed into Nigeria.
If you’ve dealt with Nigerian bureaucracy before, you know things don’t always go as smoothly as promised.
