Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs and the Great Pyramids, remains one of the most sought-after destinations for Nigerian travelers. However, the entry process has evolved. In 2026, the traditional “sticker visa” from the embassy is no longer the only path.Most Nigerians now utilize the Egypt OK-To-Board (OKTB) system—a streamlined e-confirmation that allows you to fly first and get your visa stamp upon arrival. Here is everything you need to know to ensure a smooth journey with Flydestinations Services.

What is the Egypt OK-To-Board (OKTB)?

The OK-To-Board is an electronic pre-clearance required by airlines. For Nigerian passport holders, it serves as a “permit to fly.”Unlike a traditional visa, you do not need to visit the embassy. Once your OKTB is processed by Flydestinations, your name is cleared in the airline’s system, allowing you to board your flight. You will then receive your actual visa stamp at the immigration desk upon landing in Egypt.

The Benefits of OK-To-Board:

• No Embassy Visits: Skip the long queues in Abuja or Lagos.
• Faster Processing: Get cleared to fly in just a few days.
• Visa on Arrival: Pay your visa fee directly at the Egyptian border.

2026 Egypt Visa Requirements for Nigerians

To process your OK-To-Board through Flydestinations, you only need three core items:

1. International Passport: A clear scan of your data page (must be valid for at least 6 months).
2. Confirmed Flight Ticket: A fully paid, confirmed ticket. Note: Dummy tickets are not accepted. We strongly recommend booking with Egypt Air for the fastest clearance.
3. Processing Fee: The Flydestinations service fee for OK-To-Board is N298,000.

Visa Fees on Arrival

Once you land at Cairo International Airport (or any other Egyptian port), you will pay a standard visa fee of $25 directly to Egyptian Immigration to receive your entry stamp.

Exemption: Do You Already Have a US, UK, or Schengen Visa?

If you hold a valid and used visa from any of the following regions, you are exempt from the OK-To-Board requirement:

• United States (USA)
• United Kingdom (UK)
• Schengen Area
• Canada

What this means for you: You can skip the pre-clearance process entirely. Simply book your flight, present your valid third-country visa at the check-in counter, and fly to Egypt to get your stamp on arrival for $25.
