Visas

All British nationals travelling to Nigeria must hold a valid visa before entering the country.  British nationals planning to work in Nigeria must obtain the correct visa before doing so. For further information on entry requirements, we advise visitors to contact the Nigeria High Commission in London.

 

Passport validity

It is recommended that you obtain a new passport if your passport has less than six months validity remaining otherwise you may be refused a visa or turned away by airlines.

Travelling with children

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.  For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration please contact the Nigeria High Commission in London.
