Same document requirements apply to both
Multiple applicants must each provide the full set of documents
Key Financial Requirement
₦5,000,000 Minimum
Your last 3 months' bank statement must show a minimum balance of ₦5,000,000. A valid yellow fever vaccination card is also required.

Departure date from South Africa
Proof of Finances
Personal bank statement (last 3 months)

Document Collection
We help you gather your passport, photo, bank statement, and yellow fever card — for every applicant if you're travelling as a group.

We carefully review your documents, including your bank balance, before submission.
Application Submission
Once everything is in order, we submit your E-Visa or Sticker Visa application on your behalf.
Visa Approved
We keep you informed throughout, and notify you the moment your visa is approved.
The checklist is short, but each item matters. Here's what we check for before anything is submitted.
1
Bank Balance Below ₦5,000,000
Your 3-month bank statement must clearly show the minimum ₦5,000,000 balance — anything less is a straightforward refusal risk.
2
Missing or Invalid Yellow Fever Card
A valid yellow fever vaccination card is compulsory — an expired or missing card will hold up your application.
3
Incorrect Travel Dates
Your stated arrival and departure dates need to be accurate and consistent throughout your application.
4
Incomplete Group Applications
If travelling with others, every applicant needs their own complete set of documents — missing paperwork for even one person can delay the whole group.
