Tourist visa for Nigeria

[Sparky223 16]

I am confused about the whole visa changes in Nigeria. Can I do Visa on Arrival for a tourist visa? Do I need to do the new biometric visa instead? There are only 5 places in the USA that does the biometric visa and I live nowhere near one. Thanks

  Do you qualify for VOA  ?  

"The VoA facility is available to frequently travelled High Net Worth Investors and Intending Visitors who may not be able to obtain visa at the Nigerian Missions/Embassies in their countries of residence due to the absence of a Nigerian mission in those countries or exigencies of urgent business travels."        

 

 You have an embassy available.

There are embassies here but the new biometric visas require a in person visit to one of these OIS Services offices. There are only 5 in all the US. It would require me to fly to one of these.

Cheaper to fly to one of those than to buy tickets to Nigeria and not get there.

Yeah I am flying to Houston at the end of the month.

I’m in awe of the whole change too. So Hawaiians and Alaskans have to fly to the lower 48s to get a visa? Ludicrous. I have a friend bringing 200 kids from America and this has really discouraged them.
