What is it

A letter from a Nigerian host accepting immigration responsibility

A Nigeria visa invitation letter is one of the documents you'll need to apply for a visa to Nigeria. It is a letter from a ‘host’ inviting you to Nigeria and accepting immigration responsibility for your visit.

Our letters are issued by a Nigerian individual or registered company. Depending on the host type, they come with either the host's passport copy or the company's CAC certificate — precisely the supporting documents required by Nigerian embassies and high commissions worldwide.

Embassy validity requirements
  • Issued by a Nigerian individual, accompanied by a valid international passport of the host
  • Or issued by a company incorporated in Nigeria, accompanied by the CAC certificate of the company
  • The host must clearly state they accept immigration responsibility for the period of your stay
  • Accommodation arrangement for the visitor must also be stated in the letter

Our letters satisfy all four requirements. Ready to order?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Nigeria visa invitation letters

What is a Nigeria visa invitation letter?
A Nigeria visa invitation letter is a document indicating that you are invited to Nigeria by a Nigerian citizen or a company registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). It is one of the Nigerian visa application requirements. In the letter, the host must accept all immigration responsibility for the visitor and attach a copy of their passport or the company's CAC certificate.
Do I need a letter of invitation to visit Nigeria?
Most Nigerian consulates and embassies require a letter of invitation from a host in Nigeria before they can issue a visiting, tourist, or business visa. It is also required for Nigeria visa on arrival. If you require a visa to enter Nigeria, you very likely also need an invitation letter.
How much do you charge for a Nigeria visa invitation letter?
We charge $49 per visitor for the Nigeria visa invitation letter, whether it is for a single or multiple entry visa.
How do I make payment?
You can securely make payment online via Stripe at the checkout link on this page.
How long does it take to receive my letter?
You will receive your Nigeria visa invitation letter via email within 60 minutes after purchase.
How do I receive my Nigeria visa invitation letter?
We send the letter as a soft copy to your email (or another medium suitable to you). A copy is also forwarded to the Nigerian Embassy where you intend to apply. If you are applying for a visa on arrival, we also send a copy to the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).
What do I need to provide?
We require: (1) passport information page — passport must not expire within six months of arrival in Nigeria; (2) a valid email address or WhatsApp number; (3) arrival and departure dates; (4) the cities you plan to visit in Nigeria; (5) number of entries required. You don't need exact travel dates — proposed or intended dates are fine.
Do I need to book a hotel and flight before requesting an invitation?
No. Hotel and flight bookings are not required before getting an invitation letter. However, evidence of accommodation and a round-trip flight itinerary are also required for your visa application. You can get a hotel reservation at hotelforvisa.com and a flight itinerary at provisionalbooking.com.
What documents come with the invitation letter?
If the host is a Nigerian individual, a copy of the host's international passport is included. If the host is a company registered in Nigeria, the CAC certificate (company incorporation certificate) is included instead. The type of supporting document depends on whether the invitation is issued by an individual or a company.
What do I need to do after I receive the invitation letter?
Print your invitation in colour, together with the host passport copy and/or CAC certificate. Then submit it along with all other required documents at the Nigerian embassy or visa processing centre in your country — typically: international passport with at least six months validity, a colour passport photo (white background), evidence of sufficient funds (six-month bank statement), evidence of accommodation, round-trip flight itinerary, completed online visa application form, and visa fee. After any required interview, the embassy will issue your visa when approved. If applying for visa on arrival, upload the letter online during the application process.
What documents must be submitted to the Nigerian consulate?
Original invitation letter, passport copy, 2 passport photos (white background), proof of accommodation or hotel reservation, evidence of sufficient funds (bank statement), round-trip flight itinerary, completed visa application form, and the applicable visa fee for your country.
Does the invitation letter guarantee that a visa will be issued?
No. A letter of invitation is a document that allows you to apply for the visa. Having it improves your chances, but whether you are approved is at the discretion of the Nigerian government.
What guarantees do you offer?
We have a perfect visa application success rate with our invitations. In the rare case that you don't get a visa, we will offer to process a Nigeria visa on arrival for you at a $49 discount. If you don't take that option, we will refund the exact amount paid for the invitation within 30 days. To qualify, the embassy must explicitly state that the invitation letter is the reason for refusal.
Can I travel to Nigeria with just the invitation letter?
No. The invitation letter allows you to apply for the actual visa. You still need to obtain a visa before travelling.
What is the difference between the invitation letter and a Nigerian visa?
The invitation letter is a supporting document submitted with your visa application. It is not an entry visa. A Nigerian visa is the official authorisation issued by the Nigerian government that allows you to enter Nigeria.
Where can I find the nearest Nigerian embassy or visa processing centre?
We maintain a full directory of Nigerian embassies and visa processing centres worldwide. You can find the embassy listing here and visa processing centres here.
Where can I get a hotel reservation or flight itinerary for my Nigeria visa?
