Saudi passport holders need a visa to enter Nigeria. Apply at the Nigerian Embassy in Riyadh. A tourist visa costs about $160, requires a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry, two passport photos, completed application form, return ticket, hotel booking, bank statements, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Processing takes 5 to 10 business days. Nigeria does not offer e-visas or visas on arrival for Saudi nationals.
Nigeria also offers a Visa on Arrival pre-approval for business travelers, applied for through the Nigeria Immigration Service portal (portal.immigration.gov.ng). Once approved, collect the visa at the airport for $110. This process takes 48 hours and requires a company invitation letter. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry into Nigeria regardless of origin country. Carry the yellow card.
