⚠️ Important Notes
Pakistani passport holders must ensure their yellow fever vaccination certificate is valid and original as Nigerian immigration strictly enforces this requirement. The eVisa is linked to the passport number used during application, so travel with the same passport. Carry printed copies of all documents including the eVisa approval letter. Nigeria has strict immigration controls and Pakistani travelers may face additional screening at the port of entry. Ensure your bank statements clearly show sufficient funds for the entire duration of stay.
