Nigeria Requires a Health Declaration Before Boarding

Nigeria now requires travellers to complete a health declaration before boarding, submitted through a Centre for Disease Control platform.

Nigeria has introduced a health declaration to be completed before boarding a flight to the country, handled through a platform operated by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.

The declaration is separate from the visa process and applies to arriving travellers, with carriers expected to check that it has been completed.

EntryCheck records Nigeria's official addresses and verifies them daily. Declarations of this kind are frequently mirrored by paid lookalike sites, which is why the official address is the one to use.
