A3 Visa Route Is No Longer Available to Nigerian Passport Holders

For years, Nigerian travelers could access Qatar by applying for an A3 eVisa, as long as they held valid visas from the US, UK, or a Schengen country. But as of 2025, this route is officially closed to Nigerian passport holders.

That means you can no longer apply for a Qatar eVisa via the A3 pathway, regardless of your other visa holdings.


So What’s the Right Way Now? Opulentiz + Discover Qatar

The ONLY current and verified route for Nigerian citizens to enter Qatar is by obtaining a Tourist or Transit Visa through Opulentiz, an official partner of Discover Qatar.

Opulentiz helps you get approved through a government-backed hotel + visa package, with no requirement for holding any third-country visa.
