Documents and tips for Nigerian travellers
Nigerian passports typically require at least six months of validity and blank pages; confirm both, as documentation is scrutinised closely. Fees are in US dollars; Nigerian applicants should ensure their card has an active international transaction limit before checkout. The most common avoidable mistake for Nigerian citizens: submitting incomplete supporting documents, which leads to follow-up requests and slower processing.
- Enter every detail exactly as in your Nigerian passport, including middle names.
- Prepare strong supporting documents (funds, return ticket, accommodation), which are more frequently requested.
- Confirm your card’s international payment limit is high enough for the full fee.
