Step by step
How Norwegian citizens enter Nigeria
Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Apply online before you travel and wait for approval. Book nothing that you cannot change until the approval arrives.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all travel to Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Katsina, and Zamfara states, and against all but essential travel to several others including Bauchi, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Jigawa, and Sokoto. All passengers must complete an online Health Declaration Form before entering Nigeria. Travel insurance can be invalidated by travelling against FCDO advice.

Questions
What Norwegian citizens ask about entering Nigeria
Yes. Norwegian citizens need an eVisa, applied for and approved online before travelling to Nigeria. This was last checked on 19 April 2026.
Through the official application page linked on this page. Yoogo does not process applications and takes no fee for them.
A passport valid for the trip, proof of onward or return travel, and proof of where you are staying. Officers can ask for evidence that you can support yourself for the visit. Entry is always the officer's decision, whatever the paperwork says.
Nigeria uses NGN. Check the rate before you exchange anything at the airport, where the spread is usually widest.
Safety is a judgement your own government makes, not Yoogo. This page links the official travel advice for your passport; read it before booking, because advice can change faster than entry rules.
