 Yes, a valid visa is required for all visitors to Nigeria, in addition to a valid passport. A visa is an endorsement placed in your passport that grants you permission to enter and exit a foreign country for a designated period.  While a visa on arrival may be available at the airport, it's often a complex and uncertain process. We strongly recommend applying for your visa in advance to avoid potential delays or complications. We're happy to provide guidance and resources to help you navigate the visa application. 

 There are two primary ways to obtain a Nigerian visa:

1. Travel Agent Assistance:  We recommend contacting a reputable travel agency, such as Jack Martin Travel (773-274-9500), who can guide you through the application process and ensure you have all the necessary documents.
    
2. Direct Application: You can apply directly through the Nigerian Immigration Service website: https://immigration.gov.ng.  This website provides detailed information on visa requirements and application procedures.
    

We're happy to answer any questions you may have and assist you in any way we can.
