A visa-free country is any place in the world that gives foreigners permission to enter them without needing to go through the hectic visa application process.

There are several ways a country can be visa-free

  • Country-Country Agreement: Citizens of a country can enter another country if the two governments signed an agreement.
  • Opened Borders: Some countries might choose to unilaterally open its borders to bring in more investors, tourists, or migrators to help boost its economy, increase its population and workforce.

Visa is different from Travel Passport; a visa is just an indicator of you legally staying in a country and how long you get to stay. A Travel Passport is a document that proves that you are a verified citizen of your country of origin.

You have the right to travel to some countries in the world without needing a visa but this depends on your country of citizenship.

As a Nigerian citizen with a government-issued passport, there are a handful of countries you can visit visa-free because these countries don’t need a visa provided you have your travel passport. There are currently 45 visa-free countries a Nigerian can visit in 2021.

Some of these countries allow you to stay for as long as you want, others require you to stay for a required time before applying for an extended visa, while some require you to get your visa upon arrival at the immigration department.

As a security measure to prevent wrong people (terrorists, wanted criminals, or people that won’t add value to the economy) from entering these visa-free countries, there are some few requirements every traveler needs to be successfully screened and allowed into the country.

These requirements include:

  • Flight return ticket
  • Bank statement as proof of sufficient funds (to prevent people from being stranded in a foreign country)
  • Accommodation (including hotel, house rental, etc.)
  • International Travel Passport
