Nigeria passport: visa-free countries & requirements
27 visa-free destinations · 55 visa on arrival, eVisa, or ETA
Worldwide counts use the full VisaGlance dataset. This page focuses on 60 tracked top destinations; self-country rows are omitted where relevant.
The Nigerian passport faces considerable travel barriers, with only 26 visa-free destinations available. However, 17 countries offer visas on arrival, and Nigeria's large diaspora communities have fostered alternative visa channels and immigration pathways to key destinations.
Visa results start from a historical January 2025 base matrix with limited, documented corrections. A mapped destination-level source provides context only; it does not independently verify a passport-destination result.
