Yes, most travelers need a visa to enter Nigeria. You can apply for a visa online through the Nigerian Immigration Service portal or at the Nigerian embassy/consulate in your country. Make sure to have the following:

• A valid passport with at least six months of validity.
• A completed visa application form.
• A letter of invitation (if required, especially for a wedding).
• Proof of accommodation and return flight tickets.

The best time to visit Nigeria is during the dry season, from November to March, when the weather is more pleasant for travel and outdoor events like weddings. However, since the wedding is in May, expect warmer weather and occasional rain, so plan accordingly.

For convenience and safety, use ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt in major cities. You can also hire a private driver through your hotel or event organizer.

For assistance, reach out to:

• Your host
• The wedding organizers
• Your country’s embassy or consulate in Nigeria for emergencies
