Visa-on-arrival (VoA) policies allow travelers to enter a country and obtain a visa at the airport or border, saving time and paperwork. While some nations have tightened these policies, Nigerians still have several options in 2025.
Popular destinations offering VoA for Nigerians include:
-
Maldives — 30-day stay for tourism.
-
Cambodia — 30-day visa on arrival at major airports.
-
Ethiopia — 90-day stay for business or tourism.
-
Mauritius — Visa-free entry for up to 90 days.
-
Seychelles — Visitor’s permit upon arrival.
Things to keep in mind:
-
Always carry proof of accommodation and return tickets.
-
Some countries require cash payment for visa fees at the airport.
-
Policies can change suddenly — check before you fly.
Visa-on-arrival remains a great option for last-minute travel or spontaneous trips without the hassle of embassy visits.
