The Nigerian passport, which grants visa-free entry to less than 50 countries, is the 179th weakest passport in the world and the sixth least powerful in Africa. Nonetheless, many Nigerians can still go to a number of excellent nations without a visa, whether in pursuit of greener pastures or for leisure.

In addition to visa-free countries, this page provides a thorough list of all countries that grant visas on arrival and eVisas for Nigerians.

Visa-free travel is a benefit that enables Nigerians who fulfil the requirements of a foreign nation they intend to visit to travel more easily and conveniently without a visa. Currently, Nigerians are allowed entry into 30 internationally recognised sovereign states without a visa.

However, visa-free travel for Nigerians does not guarantee access into a foreign country, as border authorities may still prohibit entry based on security concerns, criminal past, or suspicion of overstaying or working illegally.

If your journey is unplanned and you need to enter a nation urgently, a visa upon arrival is your best alternative. Unfortunately, only 17 nations provide Visa on Arrival to Nigerian citizens.

List of all eVisa countries for Nigerians

eVisa, sometimes known as an electronic visa, is a digital visa that enables travellers to apply for and acquire a visa for a certain nation online, without having to visit an embassy or consulate in person.

Filling out an online application form, submitting the appropriate papers (such as passport copies and pictures), and paying the visa cost online are normally needed to receive an eVisa.

With an eVisa, travellers may bypass the lengthy processing delays and paperwork associated with conventional visa applications and get their visa more quickly and simply.
