nigeria with no carnet
 

Hi all,

From what I have gathered there seems to be the possibility of getting into nigeria without a carnet.

Helpful Javier Carrion posted on october 15th that no carnet was needed. I just wonder if it is the legal way _laissez passer_ or the even more legal way_$$$$_

Anyone can bring some light to this point?
[I already have a visa if that makes a difference]

Cheers,

No carnet needed for Nigeria
 

Hi Leo,

We just passed through Nigeria by car and we did not need a carnet. We were issued a laissez passer a-like paper for free at the Damasak border post with Diffa(Niger). If you check the German automobile association website you´ll find the same information.

Enjoy your traveling

Nigeria
 

a few years ago, we crossed into Nigeria from Benin, customs asked for a carnet, but we managed to explain that since the borders in the European Union no longer exist, the carnet didn t exist anymore, after a while we were issued a laisser-passez, after that we even could change the date on it to prolong our stay,when leaving the country, no questions where asked,

I just got my Carnet,on the back it lists the countries it covers.
eg.Africa,America,Asia & The Middle East,Europe,Oceania.
Africa lists-Bophuthatswana ?dont know this place
-Botswana
-Ciskel? dont know this place
-Egypt
-Kenya
-Lesotho
-Malawi
-Nambia
-Sengal
-South Africa
-Swaziland
-Zimbabwe
Thats the list ,hope this may help out.
