This is worrying, the Embassy in Bamako was happily giving them out until recently, one of the few easier spots to get a visa! I will enquire with friends there to see what they know ... annoyed as I wanted to get the Nigerian visa there myself!!!

Hi Matteo

How did you get on there in Ouaga? Cameroon border also could be a problem if you are heading that way...

Cheers

I am also urgently seeking information whether the Nigerian visa is currently available in Ouagadougou or Niamey.
I had started my trip a few weeks ago and had planned to get it in Bamako.

Cotonou, Benin might work since they apparently have switched to online visa processing and a few travellers got their visas there recently without problem.

We are by motorcycle and now we are in Cotonou. Tomorrow we'll try to get Nigerian visa here.
But we already waiting for Gabon visa.
Are there any news about Gabon visa?

Nigerian Visa At the border
In iOverlander we know about somebody got it at the border without hassle. 30 days visa. But there isn't the price. We would know if anyone knows if this is true or not.

I've read this and the other thread, has anyone got recent experience of trying to apply in Abidjan?

I'm going to go to the Embassy in the next fortnight and see if they'll issue one, but any recent experience would be appreciated!

Thanks

Am guessing the '30 days at the border' was just 30 days entry stamp for someone that already had a visa. No luck in Burkina Faso? Thanks for the updates

Nigerian embassy in Ouaga said that we have to get the visa at the Cotonou embassy, because it's more easy and cheap. We told with the consol and he said no problem. Tomorrow we'll see.
