Visa Requirements for Nigerian Passports

Nigerian citizens have the most freedom of movement within their own region, with visa-free entry to about a third of other African destinations on this list, better than almost every other passport in this comparison manages in Africa. Outside the continent the picture changes fast: Europe and Asia require a visa for essentially every destination tracked here, and the Americas aren't much easier. eVisa programs pick up some of the slack, but Nigeria's overall visa-free share remains one of the lowest of the 14 passports covered on this site.

This page covers requirements for short-stay tourist and visitor travel only. Business trips, work assignments, study programs, and immigration all follow separate application processes with their own documentation, so check with the relevant embassy or consulate before traveling for any of those purposes.
