Murtala Muhammed International Airport. As of May 2025, Nigeria requires all transit passengers to hold an advance F3B transit visa ($160 USD, applied online before travel). Visa on arrival for transit is no longer available. US passport holders cannot exit airside without this visa. City exit is not recommended for layovers under 8 hours due to severe Lagos traffic. Airside transit is possible but city exploration requires advance visa and significant planning.
