Getting a visa into a foreign country is usually not easy, especially when you’re a Nigerian -them no just trust us. I’ve seen people spend hundreds of thousands of Naira trying to secure a visa to one foreign country or the other all to no avail. See the List of Visa free countries for Nigerians
We all know that the popular American and European countries will promptly deny you a Visa to their countries for reasons best known to them even if your intentions are genuine.
So I decided to look beyond these countries that like doing Shakara with their Visa and bring you a list of countries which Nigerians can enter visa free (you need an international passport though).
You should know that you do not require a visa to go to any West African country. This is because of the ECOWAS treaty between these African states. Some of the West African states I’m referring to includes:
- Benin Republic
- Sierra Leone
- Burkina Faso
- Gambia
- Ghana
- Guinea-Bissau
- Guinea
- Ivory Coast
- Liberia
- Mali
- Mauritania
- Nigeria
- Niger
- Senegal
- Togo
- Chad
You can travel to the above countries without a Visa. All you need is your international passport.
The list below contains non-West African countries you can travel to without a visa.
Haiti
Yes, you don’t need a Visa to land in Haiti. The North American country located in the Caribbean will only issue you a visa if you plan on staying in their country for more than four months.
Federated States of Micronesia
I’m guessing you’ve not heard about this country before, don’t fret, I only discovered it during my research for this article. The country is located in Oceania.
