Nigerian passport holders are set to gain visa-free access to two African countries from January 1, 2027, following announcements by the governments of Chad and the Republic of the Congo.
The two countries have announced plans to remove entry visa requirements for nationals of all African countries, meaning Nigerians will be able to travel to both destinations without obtaining a visa in advance.
The decisions are part of a broader push across Africa to promote the free movement of people, strengthen regional integration and make travel and trade between African countries easier.
