What Nigeria may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

  • Passport valid 6+ months with 2 blank pages
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate required
  • Passport photo 35x45mm, white background
  • Invitation letter from host or company
  • Return flight or onward travel itinerary
  • Proof of sufficient funds for your stay

Entry requirements for Yemeni travellers

These rules apply specifically to Yemeni passport holders entering Nigeria as tourists. Each one links to the official source where available.
