Nigeria has officially begun implementing a 30-day visa-free entry policy for Rwandan nationals, marking another step in Africa’s growing push toward easier cross-border movement, trade, and regional integration.
Rwandan citizens can now travel to Nigeria without a visa for up to 30 days following a new bilateral agreement aimed at strengthening ties between both African countries.
In a press release signed by DCI Akinsola Akinlabi, Service Public Relations Officer at the Nigeria Immigration Service Headquarters in Abuja, authorities confirmed that all arrangements had been concluded to enforce the directive announced earlier by President Bola Tinubu during the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali.
Under the new arrangement, Rwandan citizens will be allowed to enter Nigeria without a visa for stays of up to 30 days for lawful purposes including tourism, business, and official engagements.
"Under this bilateral arrangement, Rwandan nationals may enter Nigeria without a visa for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days for lawful purposes, including tourism, business, and official engagements."
