Egypt Visa for Nigerians — 2026 Guide
How Nigerians get an Egypt visa
Most Nigerian travellers use the OK-to-Board route: your airline (such as EgyptAir or Ethiopian Airlines) pre-clears you before departure, and you get your visa stamped on arrival in Egypt. No embassy visit is needed.
If you hold a valid, used US, UK, Schengen or Canada visa, you may be able to skip OK-to-Board and get your visa on arrival directly.
