Honeymoons are the highlights of any wedding, and if you're 'blessed' with a green Nigerian passport, then lining up at a foreign embassy for a visa is probably not the way you want to start yours. Well you're in luck as there are actually quite a few interesting countries that do not require visas (or have very easy visa requirements) from Nigerian nationals
Sensual Seychelles
I am sure you didn’t know that it’s in Africa but it’s the perfect lovers spot….Make sure you pack gorgeous swim suits as it’s a beach lovers dream. Lodging in the Seychelles is plentiful, with numerous resorts operating on their own private islands. You'll find luxurious low-key bungalows, villas, and thatched-roof cottages with sea views, beach access, private patios, scented towels, gorgeous swimming pools, and all the other accommodations one would expect from a first-class island hideaway. What you won't find, however, are many commercial hotels or huge resorts - the Seychelles' accommodations are noted for their intimacy and personal touches!
Dubai…Land of Gold!
It's a gorgeous city in the heart of Middle East, straddling an enormous natural harbour and the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Oman. It's a place of endless sunshine, endless beaches, and endless romance. With opportunities for swimming, sun bathing, tennis, golf, shopping, fine dining, and adventure, it may be just the spot in which you and your newly wed husband or bride have been looking to honeymoon.
Be sure to check out "The Creek", a district near the water reminiscent of ancient Arabian ports. For those who are interested in shopping, Dubai's "Gold Souks" offers a street on which every window twinkles with the mellow glow of gold.
Visa requirements for Dubai are very low and there are no endless waits in the embassy.
Maldives…the last paradise!
