4 Powerful Visas for Nigerians to Travel More!
In the past two decades, the passport of Nigeria has gradually witnessed a significant reduction in global mobility.
As at the Henley Passport Index for the year 2025, Nigeria ranks as one of the least among the 18 poor passports.
United States Visa
With a valid U.S. visa on your Nigerian passport, not only can you gain entry into the USA, but you are also gaining access into over 20 other countries, Mexico and several Caribbean ones among them, which give entry without a visa or a visa on arrival to holders of U.S. visas.
Schengen Visa
A Schengen visa can be used to enter 27 European countries in the Schengen Area, including major economies Germany, France, and Italy. Holding the Schengen visa can make travel to some non-Schengen countries that accept this visa for access much easier, thus allowing for greater travel options.
United Kingdom Visa
Nigerian passport holders with a valid UK visa and Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) can travel to more than 10 countries such as Albania, Mexico, and Turkey that provide visa exemptions or simplified entry arrangements, thus offering more flexibility where travel is concerned.
Canadian Visa
A valid Canadian visa or PR card will not only assist you in gaining entry into Canada but will also facilitate your entry into over 10 nations like the British Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, and several Caribbean states which grant visa exemptions or visas upon arrival to foreign nationals holding Canadian visas thus easing their travels.
Presently, Nigerian passport holders enjoy access to 46 countries without the need of visas or visa-on arrival. This, nevertheless, still leaves more than 180 countries requiring either a visa, a visa-on-arrival, or an e-visa for entry.
To better enhance travel freedom, certain specific strategic visas can significantly strengthen the Nigerians passport in this regard.
That is not to say that you have a really strong passport just because you have a visa; in most cases, applying for another visa becomes much easier, and you could access countries that otherwise needed a separate visa.
Enhancing your Nigerian passport can greatly expand your mobility all over the world.
Obtain some critical strategic visas and use them to reach many more countries with much bigger ease.
