Getting a visa is one of the first things that come to mind when planning a foreign trip. Now, according to the Passport Index, the Nigerian passport ranks 81^st in the world, giving us visa-free or visa on arrival to 44 countries.

In my previous post, I tried to link a useful page that lists the countries we can go to without a visa, but most sites are out of date, distracted by ads, other irrelevant data or carry malware. As a result, I decided to put together this post.

Note that all the listed countries require that your passport be valid for a minimum of 6 months beyond the period of your intended stay.

Many require that you show proof of funds to cover the period of your stay, along with your return/onward ticket to your home country or your next international destination. This ticket is proof that you will leave the country within the stated time. Obviously, it has to be an international airline ticket or other means of transportation that leaves the country.e.g cruise, train, bus, ferry, private boat or jet, unless stated otherwise.

Finally, please keep in mind that visa-free access or visa on arrival is NOT A RIGHT to enter the country. Don’t get there and start showing yourself. Admission into the country is at the discretion of the border officials. If you are going for reasons besides tourism, I strongly suggest you apply for a visa here in Nigeria.

Bon voyage!
