VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR VISITING AFRICAN COUNTRIES

Visa requirements for visiting African countries :- The visa conditions for visiting African countries not as ‘difficult’ as you might have imagined. As any local ‘naija peep’ may know travelling on a plain old green Nigerian passport is no joke.

Before even thinking about entering most countries around the world, you are required to pass the ultimate
endurance test – a visa application.

Reams and reams of paperwork, sweaty-palmed interviews, exorbitant amounts of money and throbbing admin headaches

later, you may or may not be allowed to hop in and out of a destination as fast as your little legs can carry you.

However, if you delve just a little bit deeper, it turns out that the world is actually a whole lot more open to you than we may have thought!

All in all there are about 44 countries around the globe Nigerians can enter on the naija passports alone, and while they may not be the US, Canada, Australia or most of Europe, there are some pretty dang exciting places to go.
