Egypt Visa for Nigerians
Travelling to Egypt from Nigeria? Get your required OK-to-Board approval before you fly, with your visa issued on arrival in Egypt.
Do Nigerians need a visa to travel to Egypt?
Yes. Nigerian passport holders need a visa to travel to Egypt.
For this process, your visa is issued when you arrive in Egypt. Before leaving Nigeria, however, you need an OK-to-Board approval so you can be cleared to board your flight.
Revie processes this pre-travel approval for you. When you arrive in Egypt, you pay the separate $30 visa fee directly to Egyptian immigration for your visa stamp.
If the visa is issued on arrival, why do I need an OK-to-Board?
Because visa on arrival does not mean you can simply book a flight from Nigeria and travel without the required pre-travel clearance.
Get approved before you travel
Your OK-to-Board is processed using your confirmed flight and travel information.
Board your confirmed flight
Once your pre-travel approval is complete, you can proceed with your journey to Egypt.
Get your visa in Egypt
When you arrive, pay $30 directly to Egyptian immigration for your visa stamp.
Your ₦380,000 payment is for the OK-to-Board process, not the $30 visa stamp. The approval is processed ahead of your journey using your real confirmed flight details, including your travel date and airline.
Egypt visa requirements for Nigerians
To process your Egypt OK-to-Board, you will need the following.
Passport data page
A clear copy of the data page of your valid Nigerian passport.
Yellow Card
Your Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.
Confirmed flight ticket
A real confirmed flight ticket is required for the OK-to-Board process. A dummy flight reservation cannot be used.
Passport photograph
A recent passport photograph taken against a white background.
Email address and WhatsApp number
We use these to communicate with you and send application updates.
Your confirmed flight is part of the process
Your Egypt OK-to-Board must be processed using a real, confirmed flight ticket.
Every Revie client whose Egypt process we have completed so far has received the required clearance and travelled.
We know paying for a real flight before your visa is issued can feel like a big step. For Egypt, however, the confirmed flight is part of the process itself because the OK-to-Board is linked to your actual journey.
This is Revie's historical record for completed Egypt cases to date. It is not a guarantee of the outcome of a new application. Immigration and entry decisions remain with the relevant authorities.
Why the flight has to come first
There is no separate Egypt visa process where we complete the visa first and add your flight afterwards. Your actual flight details are needed for the OK-to-Board process.
We check what you have first
We review your required documents and intended travel dates before the process moves forward.
Your real flight is then confirmed
The confirmed ticket provides the airline, itinerary and travel date needed for the OK-to-Board process.
We process the clearance against that journey
Your OK-to-Board is linked to your specific confirmed trip rather than a placeholder or dummy reservation.
We keep you informed
If we become aware of a new requirement, potential delay or other development that could affect your application, we let you know and explain the next step.
