Egypt to Nigeria visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Nigeria for tourism. Since 1 May 2025 Nigeria abolished visa-on-arrival and now requires all short-visit travelers to apply online through the Nigeria Immigration Service eVisa portal before departure. The relevant category is the Tourism Visa (F5A): single entry, up to 30 days stay, valid 90 days from issuance, typically approved within 24-48 hours. As of 2026, an Egyptian citizen holding an ordinary passport requires a visa to enter Nigeria; there is no visa-free or visa-waiver channel between Egypt and Nigeria. Egypt is not a member of ECOWAS (the West African bloc whose citizens enjoy visa-free access), so Egyptians fall under Nigeria's standard non-ECOWAS visa regime. Following Nigeria's immigration reforms, the Visa-on-Arrival (VoA) program was discontinued effective 1 May 2025, and short-stay travelers must now apply through the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) electronic visa system at evisa.immigration.gov.ng. For tourism, the correct category is the Tourism Visa (F5A): a single-entry visa permitting a stay of up to 30 days, valid for 90 days from the date of issuance, and not extendable. Applications are submitted entirely online with supporting documents (passport, photo, return ticket, accommodation evidence, and a 180-day bank statement), and most approvals are issued automatically within 24-48 hours by email; the approval must be printed and presented on arrival, where an endorsement is placed in the passport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Fees vary by nationality and are paid online during the application. Travelers should apply at least one week before departure and ensure their passport has at least six months of remaining validity.
