How to Apply for the East Africa Visa as a Nigerian in 2025

Planning to explore Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda in one trip? The East Africa Tourist Visa (EATV) lets Nigerians visit all three countries with a single multi‐entry visa valid for 90 days. It’s cost-effective, streamlined, and perfect for safaris, cultural tours, and travel within East Africa.

What is the East Africa Visa?

The East Africa Visa is a joint electronic visa issued by Kenya, Uganda, or Rwanda—allowing travel across all three countries on a single multi-entry visa. It’s valid for 90 days and costs USD 100. You must enter through the country where you first applied.
This visa cannot be extended.
Use it to move between Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda only.
