Abuja, Nigeria — August 15, 2025 | Nigeria’s recently launched electronic visa (e-visa) platform is transforming the country’s travel and investment landscape, recording over 30,000 approved applications within just three months of operation.
According to official figures, the platform has achieved a 92% success rate, with most approvals processed within 48 hours — a significant improvement over previous manual systems that often took weeks. The streamlined process caters to both investors and tourists, offering faster, more efficient entry into Nigeria.
Government officials say the initiative is part of broader reforms aimed at enhancing Nigeria’s ease of doing business, boosting tourism, and attracting foreign capital. The e-visa platform allows applicants to complete the entire process online, from form submission to payment, reducing physical visits to embassies or immigration offices.
Industry stakeholders have welcomed the development, noting that the platform’s speed and reliability could make Nigeria a more competitive destination in the global travel and investment market. Tourism operators also predict an increase in visitor numbers, driven by the simplified entry procedures.
Authorities have pledged to maintain the platform’s efficiency and security, while integrating more digital innovations to further support Nigeria’s economic diversification agenda.
