Planning a trip to Nigeria requires understanding the visa application process and associated costs. We at iVisa help streamline your visa application process, making it more accessible and straightforward.
Understanding Nigerian tourist visa costs and processing options
The Nigerian Tourist visa cost varies based on your country and currency, but on average, it will cost between $160 and $180 USD as of 2024. You may also have to pay for processing fees as well as any additional documents you may need, such as passport photos.
Whenever you are ready, you can obtain a visa online, known as an e-Visa. This document will work exactly like a paper visa and will save you time from going to a consulate or embassy.
Required documents and additional expenses
When applying for a Nigerian tourist visa, you need to prepare several documents that may incur additional costs:
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
- Passport-sized photographs ($10-15)
- Travel insurance (varies by provider)
- Yellow fever vaccination certificate
- Bank statements showing sufficient funds
- Return flight tickets
- Hotel reservations or invitation letter
Pro Tip: "Many applicants recommend getting professional passport photos taken at authorized centers to avoid rejection due to incorrect photo specifications. While it costs more than self-taken photos, it saves time and potential reapplication fees."
