Visa & Entry

Dutch passport holders need a visa to enter Nigeria. Apply for an e-Visa at portal.immigration.gov.ng. The Tourist visa (single entry, 30 days) costs $160 and processing takes 3 to 10 business days. A Business visa (single or multiple entry, up to 90 days) costs $160 to $240. Upload a passport photo, passport bio page scan, return flight booking, proof of accommodation, and a host invitation letter (for business visits). Pay online by credit card. Print the visa approval letter and carry it to the airport.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months with two blank pages. Yellow fever vaccination is required. Carry your International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow card) as it is checked at immigration. At Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) in Lagos or Nnamdi Azikiwe (ABV) in Abuja, present your e-Visa approval and yellow card at immigration. Biometrics are taken on arrival.

Direct flights from Amsterdam Schiphol to Lagos run about 6 hours 30 minutes on KLM. Nigeria uses the Nigerian naira (NGN). The official exchange rate and the parallel market rate differ significantly. ATMs dispense NGN but have low withdrawal limits (typically NGN 20,000 to NGN 40,000 per transaction). Bring USD or EUR cash for exchange at registered bureau de change offices. Card payments work at hotels and large restaurants in Lagos and Abuja. Bolt and Uber work in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. A ride from LOS to Victoria Island costs NGN 4,000 to NGN 8,000 depending on traffic.
