Hi Nairalanders,

Many people have applied for visas to travel abroad, some were refused while some were granted.

Some applicants met up Embassy Requirements and still refused the visa

My dictionary said PRIVILEGE means:

1. right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most: the privileges of the very rich.

2.a special right, immunity, or exemption granted to persons in authority or office to free them from certain obligations or liabilities: the privilege of a senator to speak in Congress without danger of a libel suit.

3.a grant to an individual, corporation, etc., of a special right or immunity, under certain conditions.

4.the principle or condition of enjoying special rights or immunities.

5.any of the rights common to all citizens under a modern constitutional government: We enjoy the privileges of a free people.

I've learnt a lot from Justwise and Vicjustice here, but i red a statement from Vicjustice that Visa is a privilege and i don't understand what he mean because i am confused by the number 2.

If a visa is not a right, then why the embassies usually quotes sections and acts of their Visa Immigration law indirectly as if if the applicant can provide the requirements then the visa is guarantee.

My question now is: Is Visa A Right?

If not, why?
