US passport holders need a visa to enter Nigeria. Apply for the eVisa at portal.immigration.gov.ng. The single-entry tourist eVisa costs $160 and allows stays up to 30 days. Processing takes 5 to 10 working days. Upload a passport scan, a recent photo, a round-trip itinerary, proof of accommodation, bank statements from the last 3 months, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry with at least 2 blank pages.
