For a tourist or business stay in Nigeria, Polish travellers must obtain a visa before leaving. Nigeria runs an e-Visa system managed by the Nigeria Immigration Service, and some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival. Your Polish passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Poland is not among the nationalities exempted by Nigeria, so Polish nationals must obtain a visa before travelling. The recommended route is the e-Visa, applied for online through the official Nigeria Immigration Service portal, even where a visa on arrival is theoretically available at certain airports.
How and where to apply
The application is completed entirely online on the Nigeria Immigration Service portal (immigration.gov.ng). You create an account, fill in the form, upload your supporting documents and pay the fee online. Once approved, the authorisation is delivered electronically and must be shown on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Polish passport valid for at least six months, a recent passport photo and an address of accommodation in Nigeria. Depending on the purpose of travel, a letter of invitation or a booking may be required. The exact fee depends on the visa type and must be checked directly on the official portal before payment.
Processing and tips
Processing times are not guaranteed, so submit your application several weeks before departure. Nigeria requires a yellow-fever vaccination certificate for travellers, so carry your international vaccination card. Keep a digital copy of your approved authorisation.
Common mistakes
Do not arrive at the airport counting on a visa on arrival if it is not confirmed for your entry point. Check that the name and passport number you enter match your document exactly, and always confirm the current fees and requirements on the official site.
