"Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated in-bound passengers will be required to observe a mandatory 7-day self-isolation in addition to a COVID-19 PCR test on days 2 and 7 after arrival.


"Fully vaccinated in-bound passengers will not be required to observe the mandatory 7-days self isolation but will be required to do a COVID-19 PCR test on day 2 of arrival.


"Persons arriving on "Business" trip or on official duty staying less than 7 days in Nigeria must * be fully vaccinated produce negative COVID-19 PCR result 72hours before boarding, and conduct a PCR test on day 2 of their arrival.
