How Long Does It Take to Get a Visa Approval?

Time is critical. Here’s how long it takes on average to get a Nigerian VoA — and how Nova fast-tracks it by avoiding delays and unnecessary errors.

1. Visa on Arrival (VoA) Timing

VoA approvals typically take 24–48 hours after applying online, provided all documents are in order. With Nova’s guidance, most of our clients get approved within this window.

2. Embassy Visa Timelines

If applying through a Nigerian embassy or consulate, expect a processing time of 7–14 working days. This varies by country and season.

3. What Can Delay You

  • Missing or incorrect documents
  • High-volume travel periods
  • Last-minute submissions
TIP: Apply early and double-check every document. Let Nova review them to avoid delays.
