Apply Online

Visit the Nigerian Immigration Portal. Select your country and begin the Visa on Arrival Program. Fill the Online Visa Form with accurate personal information in the form which is similar to the email method, upload all required documents and print the final confirmation page with your Application ID and Reference Number.

Proceed to make the online payment and print out the Payment Acknowledgement slip. Approval would be sent as email. Print that approval and combine it with all other requirements before you travel to Nigeria.

Apply through Inviter

If you are invited by an establishment, you inviter(s) can apply on your behalf using your email address so that you can receive the Approval directly from the Immigration Authority. But this method requires providing a lot of very personal information and documents directly to the inviter to enable them accurately answer immigration questions on your behalf. It is also practical for the Inviter to be at the port of Entry at the time you arrive in Nigeria.
