Narrative:

I was not night current. Filed flight plan with arrival [planned] during daylight. Headwinds over 100 kts; multiple approaches delayed landing causing landing at night. [After] arrival [I was] assigned visual approach. On downwind approach flaps at 180 kts then lowered at 150 kts nose landing gear failed to lock; based [on] no nose green light indication. Recycled gear 3-4 times; flew by tower for a visual. Tower thought the gear was down. Flew the pattern again; performed the emergency gear blow down procedure; and asked tower for another visual. I then advised passengers to have seats belts fastened and that the nose gear may fail upon landing and once plane stopped exit the plane safely as soon as possible. Followed the poh procedures.
