For many Nigerians, the cost of obtaining a visa is often the first major obstacle when planning international travel. However, several Asian countries offer relatively affordable visa fees, making global adventures more achievable.
Here are six Asian countries with the lowest visa costs for Nigerian travellers:
- Japan – ₦12,500
Japan offers one of the cheapest visa fees. Applicants must schedule an appointment at the Japanese Embassy in Abuja and submit documents in person. Requirements include a valid passport, completed application form, passport-sized photo, proof of funds, and confirmed flight and hotel bookings. Even children must appear in person, though appointments can be arranged by a guardian.
- Vietnam – ₦37,500
Vietnam’s single-entry visa is affordable and also applies to children under 14. A six-month valid passport with two blank pages, financial proof, and a completed application form are required. Attention to detail is vital to avoid application delays.
- Singapore – ₦45,000
Singapore processes visas online. Applicants need a Visa or MasterCard for payment, plus documents such as a valid passport, a recent photo, proof of funds, and a travel itinerary. Standard processing time is three working days, but it could take longer if more documents are needed.
- South Korea – ₦60,000 (short-term)
South Korea’s short-term visa costs ₦60,000, while longer-term ones cost ₦90,000. Applicants must submit a passport, photo, bank statements, hotel bookings, a return ticket, and a valid Nigerian ID issued within the last five years. Processing takes 10–15 business days.
5. Thailand – ₦65,000
Thailand offers an e-visa for ₦65,000. Required documents include a police and drug clearance certificate, a return ticket, accommodation proof, and a completed application form. Apply 4–6 weeks before travel, but not more than three months in advance.
