Are Nigerians eligible to get an Egypt sticker visa on arrival?

The answer is Yes but with two important clauses. Below, I’ll explain how you can obtain an Egypt visa on arrival, whether you have a travel history or not.

Egypt Visa For Nigerians with a Valid UK, US, or Schengen Visa

If you hold a Nigerian passport and have a valid UK, US, or Schengen visa that you’ve used at least once, you are eligible for a visa on arrival in Egypt. This process is straightforward:

• Cost: The visa costs $25, which you must pay in cash upon arrival.

• Visa Sticker: After payment, a sticker visa will be affixed to your passport.

Egypt Visa For Nigerians with No Travel History

If you don’t have any of the visas mentioned above or you have a virgin passport (no travel history), you are still eligible to get an Egypt visa on arrival. However, you will need the assistance of a reputable travel agent like Troupe Ng

• The agent will help you secure an Okay to Board document, which is crucial for your travel. As of when this blog is published, the service is priced at N400,000 per person.

• Sticker Visa: Once you arrive in Cairo, you can obtain the sticker visa for $25, similar to those with travel history.

Processing Timeline and Additional Requirements for the Okay To Board

The entire process takes about 24 to 30 days, so it’s essential to start your application as early as possible.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:•

Flight Requirement: You must fly with EgyptAir to utilize this process.

Processing Time: The entry permit takes 10-14 working days to process, and the “Okay to Board” takes an additional 14 working days.

• Permit Validity: The entry permit is valid for 60 days and is tied to one ticket. If you need to change your travel date, be prepared to pay an extra fee. (or more, depending on the exchange rate) to transfer the permit to your new ticket.

By following these steps and ensuring you meet all the requirements, you can successfully obtain an Egypt visa on arrival, regardless of your travel history.
