Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions About Nigeria

Clear answers on eligibility, processing times, validity, and entry requirements.

Is the Nigeria Digital Landing and Exit Card (LeCard) free?

Yes. Both the Landing Card (entry) and Exit Card (departure) on the official Nigeria Immigration Service portal (lecard.immigration.gov.ng) are completely free of charge (NGN 0 / USD 0). However, if you overstay your visa or entry permit, an overstay penalty of USD $15 per day is automatically invoiced when you create your Exit Card.

Who must complete the Nigeria Landing and Exit Card?

Since May 1, 2025, all foreign nationals entering or departing Nigeria by Air, Land, or Sea (including ECOWAS nationals, Visa-Free nationals, Development Organisation officials, and visa/residence permit holders) must complete a Landing Card before arrival and an Exit Card before departure. Dual-citizen Nigerians travelling on a foreign passport must also complete both cards.

Do Nigerian citizens travelling on a Nigerian passport need a Landing or Exit Card?

No. Nigerian citizens travelling with a Nigerian passport (valid or expired) are completely exempt from both the Landing Card and Exit Card. Nigerians arriving on an expired Nigerian passport undergo citizenship verification on arrival and must renew their passport or obtain an Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC) before departing.

When should I submit my Nigeria Landing Card and Exit Card?

Both the Landing Card and the Exit Card must be completed within 72 hours (3 days) prior to your arrival in or departure from Nigeria. On the application form, the Date of Arrival calendar strictly enables Today (D), Tomorrow (D+1), D+2, and D+3.

Why can't I create a new Landing Card for my next trip to Nigeria?

Every approved Landing Card must be paired with a corresponding Exit Card upon departure. The LeCard system blocks travellers from creating a new Landing Card until the previous trip's Exit Card has been completed.

Can I submit Landing or Exit Cards for my spouse or family members from my account?

No. Each adult traveller must register their own individual account on lecard.immigration.gov.ng (since First Name, Last Name, and Email are locked to the account holder's passport profile) and submit their own card. A dedicated Minors tab is available on the dashboard for minor dependants.

Can NomadicMart guarantee border admission into Nigeria?

No commercial service or private agency can guarantee border admission into Nigeria. Final entry permission rests exclusively with border control and immigration officers at your port of entry. NomadicMart is an independent private application concierge not affiliated with the Government of Nigeria or lecard.immigration.gov.ng. We verify your declaration data and submit it accurately within the official filing window.
