After online approval (takes 48 to 72 hours), you receive the visa stamp at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos or Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja.
For the VoA application, provide a passport valid for at least 6 months, a recent passport photo, proof of accommodation, return ticket, evidence of sufficient funds, and a host or sponsor in Nigeria (if applicable).
