On 2 May 2025, the Nigeria Immigration Service ("NIS"), in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Interior, announced the introduction of 2 (two) new visa and immigration solutions: (i) the e-Visa application system and (ii) the automated landing and exit cards. These developments reflect a shift towards increased digitisation, efficiency, and immigration control, and form part of broader reforms aimed at modernising Nigeria's visa and entry-exit procedures.

WHAT IS NEW?

Fully digitised and fast-tracked visa processing times: The entire e-Visa application and approval process will be conducted online which will reduce the processing timeline to 48 hours or less. Once approved, the e-Visa will be sent electronically to the applicant's email address provided on the e-Visa application portal.
