Securing a Visa to Nigeria from Albania is a straightforward process when you understand the diplomatic landscape. Because there is currently no physical Nigerian embassy located within Albania, the application is managed through the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) online portal, with consular oversight provided by the Nigerian mission in Italy.
Diplomatic Representation for Albania
Albanian citizens and residents must direct their physical visa inquiries and biometric appointments to the Nigerian Embassy in Rome, which holds concurrent accreditation for Albania.

Nigeria Visa For Albania Citizens
- Single Entry Visa refers to a type of visa that allows a traveler to enter Nigeria only once during the validity period of the visa.
- Fee: US$60
- Multiple Entry Visa is a visa type that allows a traveler to enter and exit Nigeria several times within the validity period of the visa.
- Fee: US$200
- Temporary Work Permit (TWP) is a short-term work visa issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to allow foreign nationals (expatriates) to enter Nigeria for specialized (e.g: Medical Doctors, Engineers), technical, or professional assignments that do not involve long-term employment.
- Fee: US$100
- The Subject to Regularization (STR) Visa is a long-term employment visa issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to foreign nationals who have secured a job, employment contract, or long-term assignment in Nigeria. It is the correct visa for expatriates who will live and work in Nigeria, receiving a salary or employment benefits from a Nigerian employer. NOTE: The STR Visa, historically used as a gateway for long-term employment in Nigeria, is now being largely replaced by a digital process with the introduction of e-CERPAC. Rather than entering with an STR visa and then regularizing manually, companies now apply for the residence permit directly via the e-CERPAC portal, using the new Expatriate Administration System (EAS). This reform simplifies the immigration regularization journey, increases transparency, and reduces paperwork.
- Fee: US$100
- eVisa (Formerly Visa on Arrival Online): The Nigeria eVisa (formerly Visa on Arrival) is a fast, convenient, and fully electronic entry system that allows eligible travelers to obtain visa approval online before traveling and collect their visa at the airport. It is designed for business visitors, expatriates on short visits, and investors who need quick access to Nigeria without embassy processing to allow to stay for maximum of 30 days in NIgeria.
