The rest of the trip for a Nigerian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Indonesia entry requirements.
The details for a Nigerian passport.
Nigeria is a 'calling visa' country: not eligible for VOA/e-VOA; prior approval from the Directorate General of Immigration is needed before applying.
How long it must be valid.
At least 6 months' validity beyond arrival; passport must be undamaged. Lost/stolen-reported passports are refused. You must leave on the same passport you entered with (a replacement needs an immigration 'special pass').
