Overview

About the Nigeria visa for Indians

Indian citizens need a visa to travel to Nigeria. In recent years Nigeria has moved its short-stay visa process online, so most tourist, business and family-visit applications now start on the official Nigeria Immigration Service e-Visa portal, subject to the latest rules. Applicants usually upload a passport scan, photograph, travel details and supporting papers, and business travellers need a letter of invitation from a Nigerian host company. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry, so this should be arranged well before you fly.

Audvik supports Indian travellers heading to Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and other cities. Our team confirms the right visa category, reviews your invitation letter and financial documents, completes the online form carefully and keeps track of the application until a decision is issued. If you need it, we can also book flights, business-friendly hotels, airport transfers and travel insurance, so your Nigeria trip is organised in one place.

Documents required for a Nigeria visa

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months, with at least two blank pages
  • Recent colour passport photograph as per the portal specifications
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate
  • Confirmed return flight booking
  • Hotel booking, or host's address and ID if staying with family
  • Invitation letter from the Nigerian host or company, with their contact details
  • Company registration details of the Nigerian host, for business visas
  • Bank statements for the last 6 months showing sufficient funds

The exact list depends on your profile (employed, self-employed, student, retired) and purpose of travel. We share a personalised checklist with your quote.

Important things to know

  • Nigeria enforces the yellow fever requirement at entry, so keep the original vaccination certificate in your hand luggage.
  • Invitation letters should be on company letterhead and clearly state the purpose, dates and who is responsible for your stay.
  • Read the Government of India (MEA) advisory before travel, as some northern and border states carry security warnings.
  • Approval is always at the discretion of the Nigerian authorities, so submit a complete and consistent application early.

Nigeria visa FAQs

Do Indians need a visa for Nigeria?

Processing is typically around 5–10 working days once a complete application is submitted, though timelines vary with the visa type and any requests for additional documents. For business trips with fixed meeting dates, we recommend starting at least three to four weeks before travel.

Yes, a business visa normally needs an invitation letter from the Nigerian company you are visiting. It should confirm the purpose and dates of the visit, include the host's contact and registration details, and state who will cover accommodation and expenses during your stay.

Travel insurance may not always be checked, but it is strongly recommended. Medical treatment for foreigners can be expensive and evacuation costs are high. A policy covering hospitalisation, emergency evacuation and trip interruption gives you peace of mind throughout your trip.
