Sri Lankan ordinary passports: Nigeria tourism eVisa
Nigeria Immigration Service's current F5A tourism service accepts citizens of all countries and delivers the visa certificate by email before travel.
Use a Sri Lankan ordinary passport. F5A is tourism only, single entry and up to 30 days, with the stated passport-validity and supporting-document requirements.
Apply online, upload documents and pay. The emailed visa certificate is electronic issuance before travel, not online preapproval followed by border issuance.
Nigeria excepts ECOWAS States and countries with a visa-waiver agreement. Its current all-country document does not identify a Sri Lankan ordinary-passport exception; this classification is medium confidence. Work, residence, diplomatic, official, special documents, carrier rules and final admission remain separate.
Only destination governments, official immigration services, official diplomatic missions, and primary legal instruments qualify as published evidence.
