How to apply online

  • Visit the official Nigeria Immigration Service portal: https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/
  • Create an account and log in.
  • Select the appropriate visa type (e.g., Tourist, Business).
  • Fill out the online application form accurately and completely.
  • Upload required documents (scanned copies of passport, photos, invitation letter, flight bookings, etc.).
  • Pay the visa fee online using a valid credit/debit card.
  • Print the Application Reference Form and the payment receipt.
  • You will receive an approval letter via email if your application is successful. This is usually valid for 14 days for you to proceed to the designated immigration office or embassy for biometrics and visa stamping.
  • Schedule an appointment at the nearest Nigeria High Commission or Consulate for biometrics (fingerprinting and photo) and to have the visa sticker placed in your passport.
  • Processing time: Typically 3-10 working days, but can vary. Some applications may take longer.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: Approximately USD 150 for a single entry tourist/business visa. Multiple entry visas can cost up to USD 250 or more.
  • Service Fee: If using a third-party service provider (e.g., VFS Global, although direct e-visa application is encouraged), additional service fees may apply.
  • Total Cost Estimate: For a standard tourist e-visa, expect to pay around USD 150-180.
  • Standard Processing Time: 3-10 working days after submitting the application and attending biometrics. This is an estimate and can be longer.
  • Express/Priority Option: Not explicitly advertised for e-visas. For urgent applications, contacting the High Commission directly or inquiring about potential expedited processing during the appointment phase might be an option, but is not guaranteed.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • Apply in advance: It is recommended to apply for your visa at least 4-6 weeks before your planned travel date to allow for processing and potential delays.
  • Common rejection reasons: Incomplete or inaccurate application forms, insufficient financial proof, unclear invitation letters, or previous immigration violations.
  • VFS/BLS vs. Direct Embassy Application: The e-visa system is the primary route. The Nigeria High Commission in India (as per provided link, likely representative of consular services for various regions) or designated centers will be where you complete biometrics and get the visa sticker. Always use the official portal for the initial application.
  • Current Travel Advisories: Check for any specific travel advisories or health requirements from the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and your government before traveling.
  • Extension Options: Visa extensions within Nigeria are generally difficult to obtain and should not be relied upon. It is advisable to obtain a visa with the correct duration for your intended stay.
