加拿大(Canada) 前往 尼日利亚(Nigeria) 签证要求

Canadian passport holders need a visa for Nigeria. As of 1 May 2025, Nigeria discontinued visa-on-arrival and now requires an eVisa, applied for online before travel. The Tourism Visa (F5A) is single-entry, valid 90 days from issuance, and allows a maximum 30-day stay. A Canadian ordinary passport holder cannot enter Nigeria visa-free or obtain a true visa on arrival. Nigeria launched a fully digital eVisa system on 1 May 2025 (implemented 8 May 2025) through its official portal evisa.immigration.gov.ng, simultaneously discontinuing the legacy Visa-on-Arrival programme. For a short tourist visit, the correct route is the Tourism Visa (F5A), a single-entry visa granted to non-ECOWAS nationals without a visa-waiver agreement with Nigeria. It is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance and permits a maximum stay of 30 days; it cannot be extended and carries no employment rights. Applicants apply online, upload the passport bio-data page, a photo, proof of a return ticket, hotel reservation or host address, and a 180-day bank statement showing sufficient funds, then pay the fee. The passport must be valid for at least six months with at least two blank pages. The immigration service advertises decisions within 48 hours, though peak periods (notably November-January) can stretch this. On approval, an eVisa with a QR code is emailed; travellers also complete a digital Landing/Exit card. Reported costs vary by nationality pricing: the base service fee is commonly around USD 160-180, and Canadian applicants have reported total costs near CAD 230 once handling charges are included. Nigeria is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen Area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
