Do I need a visa for Nigeria from Denmark?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Danish nationals need a visa for Nigeria; it is applied for online (e-Visa) through the official portal before departure.
A Danish traveller heading to Nigeria for tourism or business cannot enter without a visa. Nigeria offers an e-Visa applied for online on the Nigeria Immigration Service portal, and some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival. Completing the process online before you leave remains the most reliable route.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. The Danish passport does not allow visa-free entry to Nigeria. Danish travellers apply for a tourist e-Visa through the official portal before their trip. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival.
How and where to apply
Apply on the Nigeria Immigration Service online portal from Denmark: create an account, complete the form and upload the required documents. Depending on the visa type, an invitation letter or business proof may be requested. Some entry points offer a visa on arrival, but the advance e-Visa avoids nasty surprises.
Documents and fees
Have a Danish passport valid for at least 6 months, a passport photo, proof of accommodation or an invitation letter, and a return ticket. The exact fee is not reliable in our data: refer to the official portal for the current tariff and payment methods.
Processing and tips
Plan ahead: e-Visa processing can take several days and timelines vary. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Nigeria, so arrange it in advance. Print the e-Visa approval and keep a digital copy.
Common mistakes
Do not rely solely on the visa on arrival: its conditions change often and it does not cover every profile. Forgetting the yellow fever certificate is a frequent reason for refusal at entry. Use only the official government portal to avoid intermediaries charging undue fees.
