How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
For travelers planning a one-week mid-range stay in Nigeria, preparing a budget of around ₦350,000 to ₦500,000 (approximately $400 to $600) should provide a comfortable experience. Below is a breakdown of typical daily expenses you might encounter during your visit, which can help in planning your funds:
In general, Nigeria offers an affordable travel experience compared to many Western countries. When contrasted with the United States, for instance, daily costs in Nigeria can be significantly lower, with meals and accommodations often costing a fraction of those in the US. Similarly, compared to the UK, where expenses can be quite high for a similar mid-range experience, Nigeria certainly presents a cheaper option for savvy travelers.
For expats settling into life in Nigeria, the average monthly living costs can range between ₦150,000 and ₦380,000, depending on lifestyle choices. This includes rent, groceries, utilities, and transportation. Banking in Nigeria has seen significant improvements, but it's advisable to have both local bank accounts and international ones. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, though cash is still king, especially in more rural regions. When it comes to sending and receiving money, online transfer services like Wise or OFX often provide better rates and lower fees compared to exchanging money at banks or local exchanges. For best rates, consider exchanging money locally; however, using a reliable online service can be convenient for larger remittances, ensuring more value over time.
