Full list of 29 Schengen countries offering 5-Year Multiple-Entry Visas to Nigerians

A five-year multiple-entry Schengen visa allows travellers to visit any of the 29 Schengen countries repeatedly over five years, as long as each stay does not exceed 90 days within any 180-day period.

Designed for frequent travellers, businesspersons, and those with a strong travel history, the visa offers notable benefits — reducing the need for repeated applications, cutting processing time and costs, and simplifying documentation and interview requirements.

However, approval is entirely at the discretion of the issuing embassy or consulate. Applicants with higher approval chances are usually those who have held multiple-entry Schengen visas for at least two consecutive years within the last three, travel frequently (two or more times a year), and have a clean immigration record with valid documents and no overstays.

Applicants are also required to submit a detailed cover letter justifying their need for long-term travel, provide proof of financial stability, and maintain valid long-term Schengen travel insurance.

Below is the list of 29 Schengen countries currently offering 5-year multiple-entry visas to Nigerian applicants.
