How to put off visitors and discourage tourism in your country... follow Nigeria visa process. You must be REALLY determined to go there to put up with such headache and expense. See the ambassador first. Seriously? Compare applying for a visa between Ghana and Nigeria. World's apart. Come on Nigeria.
We certainly need better processes. We do not need hurdles...
I completely agree with you. The visa process to other African nations is more convenient than Nigerian Visa process. Plus you find yourself looking forward to the trip. Unlike deciding to visit Nigeria, you'll have to consult your therapist and loved ones to ensure you are making the right decision. Then pray to God if you decide to go through with the wahala.
Yes it’s many black Americans that want to visit Nigeria but the Visa process is a headache. I don’t have that much patience in the world to deal with that. I will just visit some other country and spend my vacation money there with a relaxed mind, not worrying about spending too much money. In my experience I called to see what all I needed, then I traveled far. I get there and something else was added to the list. So that was wasted money down the drain. It’s ridiculous to change something when it hasn’t been a full year yet.
Nigeria is the wealthiest and most prosperous black nation on earth. it's basically the USA of Africa. Most Nigerians don't know what they have because you have no value for your green passports... Do you know that foreigners pay $2,000 yearly to renew their Nigerian residence permit? Cherish what you have.
@@thetravlogger9895 frankly there is little value and worth in the Nigerian passport. You get few benefits from it and where ever you show it in the world you are guaranteed to be treated like dirt. Ask the Nigerians mistreated in China a few years back in the height of Covid what having a Nigerian passport was worth to them? Even their own government did not them help them when they needed it
Getting Nigerian visa is so stressful. I live in New York and we have the Nigerian embassy here. Last year I applied for the visa and had to wait several weeks for processing with no updates. Whenever you call the embassy office it never goes through. So a week before my departure my Nigerian friend introduced me to someone who works at the embassy. I literally got a two years visa the next day, well obviously after tipping.
It’s a big shame there’s so much corruption within and outside Nigeria. Omo laslas 9ja don cast i swear
😞😞😞 That’s sad 😞
I agree with you, They don’t answer the phone, you just can’t go there, I with I know someone, i was going this weekend, no visa
Kindly share the contact you have at the Nigerian embassy you have in new York thank you.
Hi please can you share the contact of the person at the embassy with me. Please it will be appreciated.
Hey ,my boyfriend wants to come over to Nigeria to visit me but it seems so frustrating to him
Can we get any help please
My friend Valerie visited me in Nigeria and thought it would be valuable to interview her on her Nigerian Visa application process. You know I am always looking out for you guys. I know the process might be different based on where you're applying from but I believe there is always something to learn from the experience of others. Let me know if you watched this in the comments below :)
So a few days ago you posted about a Nigerian man that was frustrated about his experience at the same Nigerian embassy (czcams.com/video/3NoYg8EHOj0/video.html), so what factors made his experience so difficult, and your friends process seemed to go so smoothly?
@@az_u_go Honestly no clue...maybe visitors receive better treatment - maybe because the volume of visa applications is nothing compared to the volume of requests from Nigerian nationals?
It makes absolutely no sense that dual national British Nigerians have to pay $250 for a visa to travel to their own Country!!!!
A dual national should not be treated the same as a mainly British national, all in the name of practicing reciprocal visa policies with britain. There should exist, a completely different visa category & lower cost for dual national nigerians travelling to their own country. Makes no sense to punish Nigerian citizens with exorbitant visa costs just for travelling home with a British passport.
I am African American. I traveled to Nigeria with my nephew this year, September 26 to October 9. Actually I got married there. We had to visit the Nigerian visa center near Washington DC. for our visa interview. Our flight was less than a week later. We were told that it would take several weeks before our visa was ready. Before leaving the visa center the guy indicated that for a tip he could speed the process up. We paid our first bride here in the U.S.. After arriving in Nigeria we presented our passport to immigrations, after stamping our passport the agent presented his fingers for a tip. My excuse for not paying was I just arrived with no naira. Next to the baggage claim area where we were swarmed by several guys offering services. One guy saying $25 would pay for everything. They told us that there was nowhere in the airport for us to exchange money, later taking us to that exact place. Back at the baggage claim our friend and driver had paid a bride to meet us. The remainder of my trip was very enjoyable and the people were very friendly. I hope they clean up the airport.
This is crazy so you had to pay bribe even in US to speed up process🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I also paid the lady on in LA to use her computer at the embassy because I had made one mistake on my application…. Also she charged me 30 dollars for for each postal envelope for passport to be sent back along with my Visa which I’ve never received… my point is they starting the Wahala even before arriving to Nigeria lol
This is very common. Most have this issues.😱
Did you have to have a paid flight ticket or could you just use a flight itinerary for your visa appointment?

Thank you Sassy 👌👌👌👍👍👍
This was so very helpful. Thank you
Thank u.
Thanks guys for sharing
Nice information
Your amazing thank you sassy for your videos
interesting perspective
After this video i lost all hope to see my girlfriend, i'm also from switzerland, they wrote the visa needs 2-3 days, i made it online, but after 6 days no answer! They don't answer E-Mails, the E-Mail on the website also don't work! Tried 3 E-Mails i found in internet with no luck. They don't write i have to go there! When i make it online then never have the idea to go there! And also yellow fever Vaccination i don' have and i want this not! I'm too scared of vaccinations! I booked a flight in a few days for over 1'500.- CHF plus a 5 Star Hotel in Lagos. This means i lose this flight again, but the Hotel i can cancel. Also lose my $88 for the visa! Also for kenya i had a lot of problems with visa! I never ever vistit a country when they ask for a visa! 90% from the countrys dont need visa! I lost so many hours since days with searching for informations for this visa! Now i know why africa is not rich and why they have not much more tourists there! They lose my money also! Thank you for the video! This was the information i needed since days, but nigeria don't give you!
Hey Queen Funke
Very informative. This video enlighten me on what to do. Thanks!
Sassy please tell me about application process for UK Student Visa
Unfortunately, the Nigerian Embassy in the US New York never answers.
Good video! Please specify in the video that this is the process for Switzerland 🇨🇭
To much stress went through process from Ireland absolutely nightmare stuff involved for 1week trip to much documents needed
Sassy
It’s soo hard to get the visa, I’m going out to Nigeria Sun the 12th I’m ready to cancel, and the application was sooo confusing about pcr test, asking five days be the flight.
I would pay, to much headache
What's a second option if you unable to get a visa in time for your travel? Visa appointments are filled 3-4 months in advance.
I have the experience of applying for nigerian visa as I always travel with Nigerian visa
Just a quick question, how often are you supposed to do biometrics when you travel to Nigeria using an African passport? It would help for other countries to reciprocate if necessary.
Washington DC first time. Now Los Angeles California. I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. 🤨
I tried at first to do it myself October of 2019 in US. All every Nigerian embassy but new York require a in person biometrics. So I used swift visa service to go to interview for me in new York. So using a visa service cost more but no headaches. So as for the embassy application it was at that time 180.00 not to include the fees using a visa service. I did multiple entry. Got a two year visa and it just expired and I been back to Nigeria twice
Hello, Valérie mentioned that her passport photo was not up to the Nigerian standards. Can you please clarify what the standard is? Thanks!
I'm from united state s Columbus OH city what do
About time we hear some positive news about Nigeria embassy
Right??!! I was so happy to hear something good!
@@SassyFunke Enjoy your stay in Nigeria
I also tried to call embassy for assistance, no answered. I guess its still holidays 😅🎉🎉🎉🎉
I did my visa in Atlanta of September 22, 2021 and trip was October 8,2021. Prepared and got all my documents together. My trip was two weeks from my visa appointment. They processed my visa in one day. I went on a Wednesday and picked up on a Friday. Just make sure for the letter of invitation you follow the format they have and have the invitee sign the letter. Got a two year visa.
This is amazing! Was this your first visa application? Amazing you got a two year one if so. 🙌🏾
Very first time!! I got my passport in April which is good for 10 years. I don’t know if it was because I was attending my fiancé sister wedding or what but my mouth dropped when I saw two years!! Lol
@@SassyFunke here they give you option for either one time or multiple entries ( which is good for 2 years ) I also opted for the multiple visits visa . …
@@VirgoFlights i agree , I had same experience except I had mine mailed to me that’s why it took 8days .. the Atlanta site was very friendly and quick .
Did u have trouble uploading your visa photo to the application
The process of getting a Nigerian visa for me was stressful bc 1) it was during the covid and End/SARS protest. The holidays. The timing was crazy 🤪. I just don't understand why they want you to make reservations and its not guaranteed that you will be approved for the visa. When I applied I asked for DC and since they was closed bc of the SARS they appointed me for GA. Since it was last minute and Thanksgiving week. I had to rent a car drive south to make this appointment. When I get there the rep was very nice and polite. I did the interview, but bc I had scheduled to go for interview in DC I had to resubmit my application and pay the fee again. They cancelled the first application and fee. Although it was a lot of work. I believe it was bc of the pandemic and the END/SARS reason why it was complicated. I will see if it was bc of that bc it is almost time to renew my visa.
I am a British citizen my visa to Nigeria came out two months after I submitted my passport and documentation in London.
On submitting my documents I have also submitted a return envelope special return to me delivery by RM.
How can I get a Visa as a Chilean citizen in Chile?
We don’t have any embassy or consulate in Chile.
I live in the capital Santiago de Chile in the center (Government district) but there is nothing.
Please help I want to visit Lagos now.
Or might there be a chance to go to a direct neighbor country to Nigeria and from there enter Nigeria easier?
(As well enter with a bribe)
Or is there a service that you pay which makes the process instantly fast?
Please help I want to visit Lagos now.
Kind Regards
Alexander
PS: I have a German passport too.
Making a Nigerian visa was not really a problem, it was pretty smooth, BUT they didn’t look carefully at the dates I was going to travel, so they started the clock early on when my visa is valid…my visa is set to expire while I’m still in the country…so stressful, I might not go there anymore, I really don’t want to pay anymore fees, especially since it was their fault that they didn’t look at my travel dates DC location.
Sounds like a major pain in the ass. I was gladly planning to visit Nigeria from the US but who wants to go through this aggravation.
I was meant to travel to Nigeria but instead went to Ghana as Ghana's visa system was easy and straight forward and done by mail. I have no plans to visit Nigeria unless a relative dies.
This is so sad to hear Ife and this feedback need to get to our government.
@Ife Hansson, what a very nagative statement. I don't think your relatives in Nigeria wants to die either.
@@sunnyyande378 but it is a reality that people die especially old people. Perhaps it's different in your world 🤷🏿♀️
I have SEVERALLLLLL comments:
1. Businesses might not have their websites updated all of the time, but for a federal &/or government agency not to is INEXCUSABLE. They are governed by law. Why in the world would their website not be updated and also faulty?
2. Doing due diligence: means that you may have several in person visits with OIS (embassy payment services) OR the embassy meeting with people who seem completely incompetent as they literally do not provide thorough OR complete criterion. It’s simply ludicrous. I’ve never heard of anything like it!
3. I could go on…I’m exhausted actually! 😩
I agree. The government want people to follow the law, but they out here breaking several laws as well. Maddening and pure evilness.
Nigeria government is practicing retaliatory visa system. For the Nigerian government, if your country embassy treat Nigerians well in Nigeria, they will apply the same treatment to citizens of that country. That explains why the British passport holder has to pay three times more than you. The British Embassy in Nigeria collects the same amount of money for a British visa in Nigeria. Nigerians go through hell to get appiontment in American embassy in Nigeria. That is why it is difficult for Americans.
which country do Nigerians immigrants go to the most UK, USA and Canada
From the states, I used a company, paid three times what the visa would cost normally and I got my visa in 2 weeks with no in person interview. I asked why they charge so much and they said it’s because they have to “pay off” some people at the Nigerian embassy. Wahala
OMG 😳 that’s awful
The process from the states is so convoluted and the information says one thing here and another somewhere else. It couldn’t be any more confusing. So I took a risk and used this service that worked out well, except for the price. It seems it is made so confusing on purpose.
@@nameloading..8665 I tried to bring a Nigerian girl that i was dating to the UK, I literally paid thousands of pounds to the VFS office (a company that handles UK visa applications in Asia & Africa) and she got rejected on 3 separate occasions. Needless to say, the relationship ended.
At least you got what you paid for! A lot of Africans pay for visas to come to the west but their applications either always gets denied or never gets issued!
Wow!! always money involved 🤦🏾♀️
@@thetravlogger9895 yes I completely understand, the process from Nigeria to the states is literally no comparison because so many pay and get nothing from it.
I just wish the process here was more clear.
It makes no sense that to get a visa you have to have an appointment with the Nigerian ambassador. You would think he has more important things to do and has staff to take routine appointments.
😀😁😃
Sassy Funke, I am actually in the midst of waiting for my visa. I will document all the steps I needed to take and send them to you. I’m in Seattle, WA, USA, and honestly, this has been CRAZY. If all goes to plan, I would love to share my experience with you when (IF!) I get to Lagos at the end of December through most of January.
what specific documents did you have to bring? (if you dont mind sharing)
I’m about to start the process for a tourist visa. I’m told that you must have a round-trip flight.
I hading hard time uploading my passport photo to application. I tried 5x but it kicks u out the system and u have to refill DOC again. 😅
I have my appointment date. Im in USA, state Illinois
Then i had book flight & hotel to nearest embassy for biometrics, so thats more money out my pocket 😅
Well here in the states it’s not this smooth… especially the Los Angeles embassy… totally disorganized 10 appts scheduled… at same time… no one answers the phone…. I applied for visa Oct 7… still have not received… I called Washington DC office no answer….. so my travels are just up In the air… and she mentioned 70 usd for visa, here in the states it’s 160 usd…. Nigeria embassy’s in US are just such a bad experience… nice to see hers went smooth…
Wow sorry to hear this. Thanks for sharing your experience
Ahh ahh Atlanta is even worst!!!
@@olympiaadeyemi127 it’s like they don’t want us to visit Nigeria…. Too too stressful… they have to do better…
@@bayareaglam101 have you ever asked Nigerians what they go through at the American embassy in Nigeria? Lol I'm sure they'll have some horror stories to tell.
Same one I went to in Los Angeles. It's Hell on Earth
After doing the research and watching CZcams videos on how to get one , paperwork wise and fees I was already prepared . The hardest part of my Nigerian visa application journey was the actual journey part . I live in Midwest USA. The nearest was New York or Atlanta . I originally made the appointment in New York but because of the pandemic they were always closing so I switched to the Atlanta location . I was going to fly but I discovered that the airport rental cars were all booked for the day I was going . So I had to drive … 9 hr drive became 11 hr because of traffic . Plus I has to rent hotel . But once I got in the site , they were friendly and very fast .
My flight was 2 weeks later , I received my visa within 8 days
Hi did you go there before you called because they never answer the phone
Did you have to have a paid flight ticket or could you just use a flight itinerary for your visa appointment?
@@taneeenterprises7529 I always had a paid flight ticket . So I’m not sure if you could get away with just an itinerary
I used to do mine by post as i live in the north of england many miles from london , they changed the system and now ois deal with you they introduced biometrics which means you now have to present yourself at an appointed time they will only allow one person into the building each time
All that makes it to difficult for me as i have mobility problems so until it changes or improves i wont be applying
Also the cost is double that which your friend paid
Yes I think for its like £150
I got mine done in London and I was amazed. I booked a whole day off as I was preparing for whalala, BUT there was no need, I was done in less than 20 minutes lol. Before the appalment I booked online, paid only and show up to my appointment with no fast tracking. I got my visa in less than 5 days.😃 This was in OCT 2019 to go to Nigeria for my introduction😜
Great
I'm visiting my fiance in Nigeria this year, I've never travelled outside of the UK and the whole visa issue I'd very confusing to me
Did you go through OIS? or through the normal embassy. I would really appreciate a response
Who did you go through for your visa?
Please please please i need your help🙏🙏🙏🙏😞😞
Please I need to find out if it's possible for a German citizen on vacation to Benin Republic and wants to visit Nigeria since it's close by to apply for a Nigerian visa while on his visit in Benin Republic or he should get the visa before leaving Germany? please can anyone help me out on this ?
You can only do that if you’re apply for a business visa which you can obtain on arrival. Tourists visa must be applied from the country of origin
She keeps saying great man, great guy, etc!
Are these the same people I know or a different breed of Nigerians.
We are so nice to others but love to frustrate each other!
Still don’t get this logic!
My mother and I got a Nigerian visa in the US. We used OIS services in Maryland. This was in July 2021 and our visas are multi-entry for 2 years. It took about 3 weeks for our Visas to arrive in the mail. Overall, It was a positive experience.
@ misd rhoadie was it the location In Rockville. Did you have to show the yellow card during the interview process. Also can you just walk in or you have to have an appointment. I rather pat someone to do the process for me. If you have a person let me know
Same
@@lexik-way8347 yes it was in Rockville. No I didn't have to show a yellow fever card. You schedule an appointment and they take your biometics. You can walk in for an extra fee: $50.
They didn't really ask me alot of questions, they just wanted to know basic stuff like how long will I be staying, was it my first visit. I was in there for maybe 30 minutes.
They were really warm and polite. They do respond well to email. I remember emailing them a question and they responded quickly.
@@missrhoadie7867 good information thank you
@@lexik-way8347 you're welcome
Very, Very stressful, Just don't want talking about it . Here in Germany is just crazy.
oh wow...sorry
The process in Houston TX is very stressful, the staff is rude and they speak to you badly in front of everyone. I am American just got my visa 1 month ago this was my second time and it was awful. Definitely was treated differently compared to the Nigerian customers unfortunately
You needed a seconded one?
Was your first one a two year tourist?
Did you apply for the 2nd one the same? How long is it good for? Are you a Naji wife?
I’m a naji wife. I’m tired of paying for visa on arrival. I can never reach anyone in the Houston office. And the next available appointment is in March.
@@Quinlvn to get visa on arrival is it for tourism I'm looking to get that
@@gabrielleelliott500 Hi mine was a Buisness visa. But visa on arrival. Which was more expensive
I went to Washington DC to get my visa it is we really easy but I'm not sure about now because mine had expired and if I want to go back to Lagos i need to get a new on our re new mine how do I go about getting my visa renewed would I have to go back to Washington DC to get another one our would could I just mail my passport to them and .they can send it back to me in my passport
And how much does it cost it is we not much the first time I don't remember how much it was the first time
The lady that helped me the first she was nice they also asked me why I was going to Nigeria and I told her then after that I went and sat down again and waited for them .to let me know if I got it our not they took about one hour and came back and told me I had it and the same thing she is talking about i did they put my visa on my.passport and s me not in about two weeks
I'm confused. When I went in 2016 I didn't do an interview and send bank statements.
I applied online, sent all the documents, made many many calls for updates after 2weeks and finally got through, they said they're working on it. I got it back in the mail a week later. I didn't have to go to another state for a dumb appointment.
Each country probably has a different process.
Truth be told, Nigeria visa fee varies from passport you apply with even if you live in the same country. Example, I use Kenyan passport and my friend use her British passport. We applied for single entry Nigerian visa, the British passport holder paid 3 times more than me for the same visa/ length. I chose to use my kenyan passport instead of British because of price they charge British citizen.
@Willy Lolly, that is true because Nigeria government is practicing retaliatory visa system. For the Nigerian government, if your country embassy treat Nigerians well in Nigeria, they will apply the same treatment to citizens of that country. That explains why the British passport holder has to pay three times more than you. The British Embassy in Nigeria collects the same amount of money for a British visa in Nigeria
The point others are talking about is they need to update their websites so they will be prepared to pay a bribe and not just make a blank trip wasting money. The Embassy are far away for most people and we already used money to travel there it’s not right at all. But they don’t care they only want money in their bank accounts.
Funke,are you in Nigeria now?
Yes
What about VISA UPON ARRIVAL? Is that possible coming from America to Nigeria?
Only for business or like a business typhoon apart from that nope
Next time try to give your guest a microphone. 🙏🏾 It’s hard to hear her without turning up the volume when she starts talking.
Thank you for the feedback 🙏🏾
@@SassyFunke Yes ma’am. Thank you for providing wonderful content. This is a great channel! ❤️
Yes the United States is more confusing
Wayyyyyy more
Am from the USA , last year before our wedding in Nigeria I had two months to get a visa before my trip . I called , E-mailed all embassies in the USA and no one was there they claimed they are closed due to covid19.
I paid a Nigerian Visa Services based in Houston. I paid $560 ( Mutilple entery) for 24 months . I know that's alot but I would pay that again and again to avoid all the that wahala . Because I would have to travel to the embassy so doing the math I opted for Agency. And it was the easiest ever got my visa 10days later from the day I sent my documents to receiving back my passport back . I'd say if you have all the time travel to the embassy but I won't waste my time . I am an avid traveler and I read about where am going and prepare. Nigeria on the other it doesn't matter how prepare one is there is always something.
😳 wow honestly it seems like a lot but to avoid that stress and for the visa length, it’s worth it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks for sharing Elizabeth
I agree with everything you said 100%. I paid $450 for using agency in October 2019
The last time i checked, you are an Igbo woman whether you like it or not. Nigeria has a policy of dual nationality so , why must you go to your country as a foreigner.
Elizabeth Nwachukwu Could you post the company's information, for who you used to get your visa? So this was your first time applying for a Nigerian visa or did you have one before? I'm seeing they want to do finger prints and all so how was this company able to skip that part? I appreciate your help and Thank you in Advance. I need a visa but I don't wanna go to Atlanta if I don't have to I live here in Central Florida..I haven't applied for the visa ..yet..but I am going to cause I need everything done asap..so any information on the company would help..thank you again.
@@ieshanwogu4220 EST Int'l Travel. That's the visa company

I believe they can now do visa on arrival
I am still trying to get my first Visa in USA. I’ve sent everything in in October and haven’t heard anything. I can’t get an answer to my calls ever. I don’t know what to do. How long will it take to hear from them? I need help.

@@SassyFunke thanks alot sassy please can i know more about this visa on arrival situation please 🙏
Any Nigerian born in the diaspora who doesn't have a Nigerian passport certainly deserves to face all the obstacle associated with visa application.
Why should that be?
@@ifehansson2254 a Nigerian by heritage who applies for visas each time he visits Nigeria is like a husband who pays his own wife each time they have sex.
@@thetravlogger9895, I could not agree more. Most of these Nigeria mothers/fathers in the US always say " I don't want to have anything to do with that country". As a result they don't register their children as Nigerians. What they don't understand is no one knows tomorrow. The government is changing the laws now. Very soon, it will be difficult for them to get Nigerian citizenship, if they are not registered at the embassy at birth.
@@sunnyyande378 I can only imagine how upset the staff at the Nigerian embassy / consulate must be each time they have to process tourist visa applications for applicants with Nigerian names. That's as odd as seeing Elon Musk applying for a job at Tesla.
@@thetravlogger9895, totally agree. I wrote a comment to one of such whose mother is Nigerian. I said " Don't blame the Nigerian government, blame your mother"
