10 African Countries Nigerians Can Visit Without a Visa in 2026 – Easy Travel Options Right on Your Doorstep

By -

 


Here are 10 African countries that Nigerians can visit without a visa (true visa-free entry, often under ECOWAS protocols for West Africa or broader African reciprocal policies). This is based on the latest 2026 updates from sources like Passport Index, Henley data references, and Nigerian media reports (e.g., Vanguard, TVC News, The Nation). Note that requirements can include a valid passport (usually 6 months validity), ECOWAS travel certificate in some cases, and staying within allowed periods (typically 90 days). Always double-check with official embassies or immigration sites before travel, as policies can shift.

Benin Republic — Visa-free for 90 days (ECOWAS member; popular for short trips from Lagos to Cotonou).

Ghana — Visa-free for 90 days (ECOWAS; vibrant culture, beaches, and Accra's nightlife).

Togo — Visa-free (ECOWAS; easy access via land borders, known for Lomé markets and beaches).

Senegal — Visa-free for 90 days (ECOWAS; Dakar’s music scene, Gorée Island history, and coastal vibes).

The Gambia — Visa-free (open to all Africans since 2019; beaches, wildlife, and Banjul's relaxed atmosphere).

Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) — Visa-free for 90 days (ECOWAS; Abidjan's modern skyline and economic hub).

Burkina Faso — Visa-free (ECOWAS; rich in culture and history, though travel advisories may apply).

Niger — Visa-free (ECOWAS; vast landscapes and Niamey's markets).

Guinea — Visa-free (ECOWAS; Conakry's energy and natural beauty).

Sierra Leone — Visa-free (ECOWAS; Freetown's beaches and emerging tourism).

Bonus Mentions (Visa-Free or Near Visa-Free)

Cameroon — Visa-free for 90 days in many reports (strong ties).

Chad — Visa-free for 90 days.

Cape Verde — Visa-free or easy entry (island paradise off West Africa).

Rwanda — Visa-free for Africans (Kigali's clean city, gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park).

Kenya — Often visa-free or eTA for Africans (safaris, Nairobi, beaches).

These reflect the push for intra-African travel under ECOWAS and African Union initiatives. Many more African nations offer visa-on-arrival or eTA, but the above focus on straightforward visa-free access.

  The Royal Moroccan Football Federation is set to launch legal proceedings following the contentious Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) final on Sunday, where opponents Senegal staged a walk-off in protest against a penalty decision before ultimately securing victory. Senegal secured the title with a 1-0 victory over hosts Morocco, thanks to Pape Gueye’s extra-time strike.   However, the triumph was overshadowed by a disputed late penalty decision, which prompted Senegal players to abandon the pitch in protest, leading to a temporary halt and angry scenes around match officials.   After a delay of over 15 minutes, the Senegal players returned to the pitch, and Morocco’s Brahim Diaz missed the subsequent penalty as his ‘Panenka’ attempt was easily saved by ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to take the game to extra time. Gueye’s goal sealed victory for Senegal. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (RMFF) confirmed its intention to pursue legal acti...
