Discover visa requirements for your trip
Belgian nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Nigeria. The application is made online through the Nigerian immigration e-portal, ahead of the trip.
Belgian travellers bound for Lagos or Abuja fall under Nigeria's e-Visa scheme: authorisation is obtained online in advance. Some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival, but the e-Visa remains the recommended route. The Belgian passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes: a Belgian citizen needs a visa to enter Nigeria. The e-Visa, applied for online before departure, is the safest option. Choose the category matching your purpose of travel (tourism, business).
How and where to apply
The application is made on the official Nigeria Immigration Service portal (immigration.gov.ng). You create an account, complete the form and upload the supporting documents. Payment is completed online.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Belgian passport valid for six months, a photo, proof of accommodation or a letter of invitation, a return ticket and a yellow-fever vaccination certificate. The fee must be checked directly on the official portal: do not rely on an unconfirmed indicative figure.
Processing and tips
Processing time varies, so file your application in good time before departure. Keep the e-Visa confirmation in both printed and digital form. Check that your details match your passport exactly to avoid any hold-up.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is forgetting the yellow-fever certificate, which is checked on entry. Do not automatically rely on the visa on arrival, whose issuance is not guaranteed. Finally, use only the government portal and ignore prices quoted by intermediaries.
