Correct path

Tourist, business or TWP?

A tourist visa is enough for holidays and visits up to 60 days. A business visa requires an invitation from a Nigerian company. TWP (Temporary Work Permit) is for shorter specialist assignments. All visas require submission at the Nigerian Embassy in Stockholm.

Overview

How it works for Nigeria

Swedish citizens always need a visa to travel to Nigeria. The process is known for being one of the most detail-sensitive in Africa. The invitation must have the correct format, the photo must be exact and the passport must have sufficient validity. The Nigerian Embassy in Stockholm handles all visa applications. VIZA reviews everything before submission to minimise the risk of refusal. Common cases are business trips to Lagos or Abuja, visits to family and specialist assignments in oil or telecom.

Translation, timing and embassy

For the visa application, translation of Swedish documents is normally not required. The application form is filled in English. The invitation should be in English. If you have Swedish documents to be used in Nigeria after entry (e.g. for work), authorized translation may be needed separately.

Timeline for a Nigeria visa

Visas usually take 7 to 14 business days from submission at the embassy. The Nigerian Embassy always determines the final processing time. The total is affected by:

  • whether the invitation has the correct format and CAC number
  • whether the photo has exactly the right format
  • whether the passport is valid at least 6 months
  • queue at the Nigerian Embassy in Stockholm
  • whether the application is supplemented
  • post for passport and return
