Visa Information for EAIAC 2025 Delegates

Most international delegates attending the 12th East Africa International Arbitration Conference (EAIAC 2025) in Abuja, Nigeria will require a visa.

Who Needs a Visa?

  • All non-Nigerian attendees are required to obtain a Business (Single Entry) Visa – F4A for conference participation.
  • Citizens of ECOWAS member countries do not need a visa for short-term visits to Nigeria.

Important Visa Update – Effective May 1, 2025:

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has abolished the Visa on Arrival (VoA) system. All visitors requiring a visa must now apply in advance through the Nigeria e-Visa Portal.

How to Apply:

Delegates must apply online via the official Nigeria Immigration Service portal:
👉 https://visa.immigration.gov.ng/ 

We strongly recommend that delegates begin their visa application process well in advance of travel to allow sufficient time for processing.
