Greece visa for Nigerian citizens
Visa required
🇳🇬 Nigerian passport → 🇬🇷 Greece: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond Greece: the Nigeria passport
