The rest of the trip for a Taiwanese passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Nigeria entry requirements.
The details for a Taiwanese passport.
CORRECTED from e-Visa/unverified: Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs says the Nigeria Trade Office in Taiwan (12F, No. 48, Sec. 2, Shuangshi Rd, Banqiao, New Taipei; tel 02-2250-1118) issues visit visas to ROC nationals and recommends applying there for a paper visa. ROC nationals can also use the Nigeria e-Visa (launched May 2025), but after paying about USD 220 there is no dedicated contact point to follow up and approval timing is unpredictable. Visa on arrival is no longer available. Complete the online Landing Card and Exit Card (BOCA: within 3 days before entering and before leaving) at lecard.immigration.gov.ng. Nigeria does not recognise Taiwan diplomatically.
How long it must be valid.
At least 6 months' validity from the date of arrival (Canada: 6 months beyond expected departure - safest to follow).
Recent changes in Nigeria.
- 2025-05-01 — Online Landing and Exit Cards became mandatory for all passengers entering or leaving Nigeria.
- 2025 — Visa on arrival discontinued; short-visit visas (tourism, business, visiting, transit) now issued as e-Visas through the NIS portal.
