Nigeria entry requirements for Dutch citizens
Short answerDutch citizens need a visa to visit Nigeria. Up to 30 days per visit.
- How long you can stay
- Up to 30 days per visit.
- What you need
- Approved Nigeria e-Visa (Tourism Visa – F5A) obtained online before travel, or an embassy-issued visa
- Passport valid for at least 6 months
- Passport-size photo
- Evidence of return ticket
- Evidence of hotel reservation or host address in Nigeria
- Evidence of sufficient funds (180-day bank statement)
- Good to know
- The Nigeria Immigration Service states the Tourism Visa (F5A) is for "citizens of all countries except ECOWAS member States and other countries which Nigeria has entered into visa abolition/waiver agreements". The Netherlands is not an ECOWAS member, and no primary source found in this pass names it as having a visa-waiver agreement with Nigeria for ordinary passports (NIS publishes no such list). F5A terms (checked 2026-10-02): validity 90 days from issuance, single entry, stay of 30 days, not extendable, no employment. Fees were not verified — confirm on the official e-Visa portal (evisa.immigration.gov.ng).
