Important Notes

Vatican City does not have its own visa policy. Entry to Vatican City is granted via entry into Italy, which is part of the Schengen Area. Therefore, Nigerian citizens need a Schengen visa to enter Italy, which then allows access to Vatican City. The visa application should be submitted to the Italian Embassy or Consulate in Nigeria. The processing time can vary significantly, especially during peak seasons, so it's advisable to apply well in advance (up to 6 months before travel). The cost is based on the standard Schengen visa fee of 80 EUR plus potential service charges.
