Do Nigerian citizens still need a visa to visit Turkey?
One of the guests at my hostel here in Georgia is a young guy from Nigeria and he asked me if he needs a visa to go to Turkey.
I did some searching on the Internet and found conflicting answers:
The article Visa regulations lifted with yet another nation on sabah.com.tr says:
Nigeria is the newest addition to the countries in which visa regulations will be lifted with Turkey.
Foreign Affairs Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and Nigerian Foreign Affairs Minister Olugbenga Ashiru will be meeting at the Turkey-Africa Partnership Ministerial Review Conference and will sign a joint agreement to lift mutual visa regulations.
But the Turkish government page, Visa Information For Foreigners says:
Nigeria: Ordinary and official passport holders are required to have visa to enter Turkey.
Is the Turkish visa page current or out-of-date? If the agreement is not yet in effect can anybody tell me when these new rules will begin?
