The Nigerian government has given foreigners with expired
visa three months to vacate the country.
The Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, announced this in a
statement released on Friday, May 2, 2025.
In the statement signed by Akinsola Akinlabi, Public
Relations Officer, the Nigeria Immigration Service warned that overstaying now
attracts daily fines of “$15, plus bans of up to five years or permanent
blacklisting” starting from September 2025.
“A 3-month grace period allows foreigners with expired visas
to exit Nigeria without penalty, ending August 1st, 2025,” the statement added.
Also, the statement announced the introduction of a
mandatory online landing card for inbound foreigners and exit card for outbound
travelers — both accessible at lecard.immigration.gov.ng.
