Visa Information: F5A Tourist e-Visa (Effective May 2025)

As of May 1, 2025, Nigeria has introduced a streamlined electronic visa (e-Visa) system, making it easier than ever to visit! For our international guests, the F5A Tourist e-Visa is your gateway to join us in Abuja.

Who Needs a Visa?

If you're not traveling with an ECOWAS passport, you'll need a visa to enter Nigeria. The F5A Tourist e-Visa is designed for travelers visiting for leisure, including weddings like ours!
