Important Information
The Embassy of Nigeria requires all individuals applying for a Nigerian visa within the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland to provide biometric fingerprints as part of their visa application. To fulfil this requirement, applicants must appear in person at the Visa Application Centre in London. The only exceptions to this rule are applicants under the age of five and those holding a diplomatic passport.
Given the strict consular requirements, it is essential that the application, supporting documents, and payment fully conform to embassy standards to avoid potential rejection and minimise the need for additional visits, costs, and inconvenience. To assist with this process, AllVisa provides a comprehensive service to thoroughly check and verify documents prior to submission

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a visa take?
Processing times vary depending on the destination, visa type, and nationality.
Some destinations offer faster processing options, while others may take several weeks.
Your available processing options and estimated timelines will be displayed after selecting your nationality, destination, and visa type.
When is the best time to apply for my visa?
It is recommended to apply 1–2 months before your intended travel date, as appointment availability and processing times can vary depending on destination and visa type.
If you are short on time, expedited options may be available depending on eligibility and the decision of the relevant authority.
Do I need to send my original passport?
Most visa applications require submission of the original passport, as the visa is affixed directly to a passport page.
We recommend using a secure and trackable delivery service when sending important documents. Allvisa handles all documents with strict care and confidentiality.
