Nigerians to Travel Visa-Free to Chad and Congo in 2027
Starting January 1, 2027, Nigerian passport holders will be able to enter Chad and the Republic of the Congo without needing to secure entry visas. This decision follows the announcement by Chad's President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno in July 2026, aimed at enhancing the movement of people and goods across Africa.
Similarly, President Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of the Congo revealed at the 2026 African Development Bank Group Annual Meetings that the Republic of the Congo will also lift visa requirements for all African nationals from the same date. The new policies are designed to facilitate travel and trade among African nations, contributing to deeper African integration and supporting the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area.
Both countries' measures reflect a broader effort to improve free movement across the continent.
