Hi Andrew,

Your friend will need to start the visa process for Nigeria using the embassy's online portal - https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/index.htm

S
he will then be called for an interview. If there is no Nigerian embassy in the country, then she will be required to another embassy which deals with Nigerian visas. 

The amount of time the visa takes to process depends on the type of visa you apply for.

Have a read of the Expat Arrivals page on Visas for Nigeria to get a more detailed overview of the process.

Good luck,

Shantalie

Hi Andrew, the Country where your friend resides is also important. Yes, the duration of the visa process depends on type of visa you apply for. Since its your friend coming on a visit, you will require a visitor/tourist visa and should be obtained within 2 weeks.
