Travellers from Guinea do not apply for a visa for a tourist stay in Nigeria, but border control still asks for a file.
Our guide to the Nigeria visa from Guinea
Holders of a passport from Guinea can stay in Nigeria without a visa for up to 90 days of tourism. They simply need to present valid travel documents in good order at the entry check.
For a leisure trip from Guinea to Nigeria, Guinean citizens have no visa application to file. Everything happens at the border check: a valid passport, a return ticket if requested, and respect for the authorized length of stay.
Is a visa required?
No visa is required from Guinean nationals for a short tourist stay in Nigeria. Entry is granted by Nigerian immigration officers at the time of the check, on presentation of the passport. For another purpose, such as work or study, ask the Nigerian embassy which rules apply.
How long can citizens of Guinea stay in Nigeria?
90 days
Visa-free entry allows a stay of 90 days. To stay longer, study or work, a visa is generally required.
Timing and tips
There is no processing time to plan for, since there is no visa to request. Keep a digital copy of your passport separate from the original, and check shortly before departure that the conditions have not changed. To remain longer than the 90 days allowed, contact the Nigerian immigration authorities before the deadline.
What to show at the border of Nigeria
Documents required for a visa for Nigeria:
- Passport valid 6 months beyond stay
- Online application (no paper form)
- One passport-size photo
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of accommodation
- Proof of sufficient funds
- Yellow fever vaccination certificate
- Visa fee payment
Entry requirements
The Guinean passport must be valid for the whole stay and in good condition. Officers may ask for a return or onward ticket, the address of your accommodation and proof of sufficient funds for the stay. The maximum authorized stay is 90 days, so your planned departure date must fall within that limit.
Documents and fees
No visa fee is due on this route. Still, prepare a simple file: passport, return ticket if you have one, booking or accommodation address, and the contact details of someone in Nigeria. If a specific document seems necessary, check it with the Nigerian embassy in Guinea rather than on an unofficial website.
Common mistakes
Paying for a so-called “electronic visa” on a commercial website is a waste of money: Guinean travellers do not need one for a short tourist stay in Nigeria. Also avoid leaving with a damaged passport or one close to expiry, and do not confuse the authorized length of stay with a right of residence.
