Kunleoduwole: Thank you for the response,I intend getting another passport for any intended future travel.so what do you advise I do whenever am applying to any other country apart from UK..thanks

Mr Man, you cannot get another passport when the other one is still valid. They(Nigeria customs) have you in their system already and they will query why you need another passport.

Second off, I know you are remorseful but you made a very silly mistake very silly one. truth be told no country will be eager to issue you a visa after what you've done so stop trying to apply to other countries cos they will knock you back each time.

Stay in Nigeria for now

I feel your pain man but I seriously don't know why people still fall for agents. Most of them are nothing but dupes.

Cool down guy I know how you feel, all man want to fly jet, even me here. But since Bleep up don dey now, just cool down, don't try to do another passport because dey will ask you what happen to old one. And you must bring it. Any why you want do new one because you may think that the fake stamp will still affect you. Don't worry it will not, don't tier any page ooo

Hello House, on Nov 26th i was at the uk vfs to pick my application .Upon opening the package,i discovered my passport was not inside,but the note inside the pack said my passport has been retained "The passport that you were intending to travel with, as detailed above has been retained, as we are not satisfied that the document satisfactorily estabilishes your identity and nationality. This is in view of the fact that a previous UK visa application was made in 2009 using identity consistent with those provided in this application.
Enquires will be undertaken at this office and the document will be forwarded as soon as pratically possible to the Nigerian immigration service in Abuja. The Nigerian immigration service will decide whether further action is required. in these cases, enquiries should be addressed to the Nigerian Immigration Service.".

Please note that this is my first Visa application to UK embassy inspite of my frequent travel to over 17 countries.
Please kindly assist with advice on how to retrieve my passport.

My dear friend..I was also a victim of this circumstance...a travel agent stamped fake Ghana and Togo immigration stamps on my passport inorder to apply for schengen visa..when I later realise the consequences of the bastard acts...I went to immigration office. in abuja to claim that I lost my passport and I have collected a new one..but it cost me 60k...all you need is police extract and copy of the lost passport then go the immigration office...God will see you through..

I do understand the part of self inflicted punishment by using fake agents.....but I have a similar case, Ignorantly, so as to avoid fake stamps with agents, I traveled by road to Ghana using Chisco Transport with a virgin passport, on getting to the embassy my passport was seized aswell...what do I do.
Its a crazy world, I traveled genuinely..and i have pictures and proofs..but they were not sufficient.
Embassy didnt even want to see the proof as phones were not allowed for interview..
please what do i do.....
Sadly, my 2 year old was involved.
