 Visa-on-Arrival Policy Enhanced, Not Abolished – Minister


The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has clarified that Nigeria’s Visa-on-Arrival (VOA) policy has been upgraded, not scrapped, as previously reported.

Speaking after a closed-door meeting with the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) in Abuja, Tunji-Ojo addressed concerns over the policy changes. His remarks were echoed in a statement issued by PEBEC Director-General, Princess Zahrah, who emphasized the government’s commitment to streamlining business processes and reducing bureaucratic hurdles.

The minister explained that while the VOA policy remains in place, new regulations now require pre-arrival clearance from Interpol, criminal record systems, and other security agencies in real time.

“The Visa-on-Arrival process is not being scrapped; it has been upgraded for greater efficiency and security. Travelers will still be able to apply online for short-stay visas, with approvals granted within 24 to 48 hours," Tunji-Ojo stated.

He added that once approved, visas would be sent directly to applicants via email, eliminating the need for a physical sticker upon arrival.

“This enhancement will streamline the process, reduce inefficiencies, and improve automation, ensuring better control over the movement of travelers. It is another step towards creating a more business-friendly environment and attracting foreign investment,” he said.
