"Nigerian government announces that the e-visa system will launch on May 1."

-


The federal government of Nigeria has announced that a new electronic visa (e-Visa) system will be launched on May 1st, 2025.

During a meeting in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja focused on immigration protocols, Tunji Ojo, the Minister of Interior, and Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, shared the details of this development.

An e-Visa is a digital visa that allows travelers to apply for travel authorization online, eliminating the need for an embassy or consulate visit. This system aims to simplify the visa application process, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

Travelers can complete an online application form, upload necessary documents (such as a passport), pay the visa fee, and receive the e-Visa via email to present upon arrival in their destination country.

E-visas, which are widely adopted by various countries, are typically issued for tourism, business, or transit purposes. They aim to streamline travel by minimizing paperwork and reducing waiting times.

Tunji Ojo further revealed that there is already a centralized visa approval center at immigration headquarters. Officers have been trained and equipped, and they are now integrated with major international criminal record systems, including Interpol, to ensure thorough background checks on individuals entering Nigeria.

According to him, “We are also looking at removing bottlenecks and making sure people can get visas to Nigeria without lobbying anyone to come into Nigeria.”

He elaborated on their intention to open the borders while prioritizing national security, creating opportunities for individuals to come and appreciate the beauty of Nigeria. 

The Minister emphasized their collaborative approach, stating that they are united in protecting a singular priority: the interests of Nigeria. He noted that the NCAA and the NIS have agreed to establish a mini-team dedicated to developing the implementation framework, regulations, and protocols.
