Here are 17 countries Nigerians offering visa on arrival to Nigerians
According to IziVisas' ranking, Nigerian passport holders can obtain visas on arrival in 17 destinations, including Cambodia, Ethiopia, Mauritius, and Tanzania.
The Nigerian passport remains one of the more restricted in the world, with Nigerians typically required to secure a visa before travel to most destinations, often involving lengthy embassy processes, documentation and fees. Visa-on-arrival arrangements, where eligible travellers obtain approval to enter a country at the airport or border rather than applying in advance, are therefore closely watched by Nigerian travellers as they significantly ease the cost and hassle of international travel, particularly for tourism and business trips to countries without a Nigerian embassy presence.
The coverage draws on rankings compiled by travel and visa-advisory platforms, with outlets citing slightly different totals — 14 and 17 — and overlapping examples such as Cambodia, Ethiopia, Mauritius and Tanzania, several of which are popular African and Asian destinations known for relatively open entry policies. The discrepancy in numbers suggests differing methodologies or update dates among the source lists, and none of the reports specify the exact visa fees, stay durations, or entry conditions attached to each country, details travellers would need to confirm directly with immigration authorities before planning a trip.
