48 hours

The Nigeria Immigration Service says all foreigners visiting or departing Nigeria must use its Landing and Exit Card portal to pre-process their arrival and departure; the portal is not for transit purposes, its services are completely free, and a landing card can be created only 24–48 hours before arrival. Failure to comply leads to refusal of entry or departure at immigration checkpoints. Its home page says the cards commence May 1, 2025.
