Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Citizens of ECOWAS member states (including Ghana, Benin, Senegal, Togo and Cote d'Ivoire) can enter Nigeria visa-free for short business visits; most other nationalities require a visa arranged in advance.
Official visa pageWeather
Lagos in late October is hot and humid, with daytime highs near 29-30 C and night-time lows around 22-24 C. Expect roughly 9-12 rainy days and 135-180 mm of rain across the month, so plan for short heavy downpours and carry an umbrella.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Nigeria's mobile networks (MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile) cover Lagos well; buy a local prepaid data SIM or eSIM on arrival, though SIM registration with ID is required. Speeds are usable in Victoria Island but can be slower than in Europe, so download documents before you travel.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Greetings, Titles and Punctuality
A firm handshake and a courteous greeting open most Nigerian business meetings, using titles such as Engineer, Dr or Chief where they apply. Meetings typically begin with brief pleasantries and small talk before commercial topics; arrive on time for scheduled appointments but allow for traffic-related delays from your hosts.
Business Dress and Meetings
Smart business attire is standard for Lagos energy-sector meetings: suits or smart jackets for corporate and government offices, and business casual on the exhibition floor. Exchange business cards early, address counterparts formally until invited otherwise, and expect decisions to be relationship-led rather than made in a single meeting.
Tipping, Photography and Etiquette
Service charges of around 10% are often added to restaurant bills, with small additional tips appreciated by drivers, porters and hotel staff. Ask permission before photographing people or facilities, keep discussion of politics and ethnicity neutral in business settings, and use bottled water throughout your stay.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: LOS
Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Lagos; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.

Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Allow several weeks; the organiser advises arranging visas, flights and accommodation as early as possible due to lengthy processing times and high demand.
