For International Guests

Visa Information

Everything you need to know about visiting Nigeria for our wedding, from visa requirements to the official application link.

Visa Requirements

Most foreign nationals need a visa to enter Nigeria. Requirements vary by nationality and visa type — check your eligibility on the official portal before you apply. Common visa categories for wedding guests include the Tourism Visa (single-entry, 30 days) and the Business Visa.

Visa Application Process

Apply online through the official Nigeria Immigration Service e-Visa portal before you travel. You'll create an account, complete the application form, upload your documents, pay the visa fee, and receive an approval letter to present on arrival. Processing times vary, so apply as early as possible.

Official Application Link

Apply for your e-Visa directly through the Nigeria Immigration Service:

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I apply?+

Apply as soon as your travel dates are confirmed. Processing times can vary, so give yourself several weeks of buffer wherever possible.

Do I need an invitation letter?+

It isn't required for every visa category, but it can strengthen a tourism or business visa application. Reach out to us and we'll send you one.

What if my nationality has a Nigerian embassy nearby?+

You can apply for a regular visa in person through your nearest Nigerian embassy or consulate instead of the e-Visa portal — use the Regular Visa Portal link above to find your nearest mission.

Is visa-on-arrival available?+

Nigeria's standard process is to secure your visa before you travel. Confirm your specific eligibility on the official portal, as policies can change and vary by nationality.
