Good news for Nigerian travellers: a trip to Saudi Arabia starts with a simple online visa. There's no need to post documents or queue at an embassy — citizens of Nigeria can apply for the Saudi Arabia eVisa from home and get the approval delivered straight to their inbox.
The online application takes only a few minutes. Here is the step-by-step process for Nigerian travellers:
Depending on the visa type you choose, Nigerian passport holders can stay up to 90 days. Keep your passport valid for the duration of your visit and for six months beyond it.
Once your visa is approved, save a copy on your phone and keep a printed version with your travel documents. Nigerian travellers should also carry their return ticket and accommodation details for immigration on arrival.
Most Nigerian applications are processed within a few business days. To be safe, apply at least a couple of weeks before departure so you are not rushed close to your travel date.
