Key rules for Nigeria were checked against Nigeria Immigration Service visa pages in October 2026.

Questions
Do Ghanaian citizens need a visa for Nigeria?
Ghanaian passport holders don't need a visa for Nigeria. Short tourist and business stays don't need a visa. Longer stays, work and study usually do. Confirm on Nigeria Immigration Service e-Visa portal before you pay or book, because entry rules change.
Should I use an agent to get a Nigeria visa?
Only if you want someone to handle the paperwork for you. Government fees are the same whether or not you use an agent, and agents add their own fee on top — sometimes more than the visa itself. Check that the government fee is listed separately and avoid agents who ask for payment to a personal account.
