| What Is BTA? by 2cantango(f): 10:46am On Aug 30, 2006 |
Could anyone please give me some information about BTA? My Mum has a friend in Nigeria who is currently applying for a visitor visa to Australia - he has mentioned needing funds for something he calls BTA - I have no idea what this is  Certain things that have been said are causing me some concern - I don't want to see Mum being scammed!  Any information that anyone has about this BTA, or if anyone has any experience in travelling to Australia from Nigeria, and can give me any idea as to what is required from immigration, I would be truly grateful. Thank you.  |

Don't send money to Nigeria for any reason. You should be smarter than this. Argh!  |

BTA - Basic travelling (or is it travellers') allowance: naija banks issue travellers' cheques to cover expenses (hotel, feeding etc.) to an intending traveller - not sure what the max. is now but used to be about $US 2,000. BTA stamp is made on the passport with date, so u cannot get more than the limit. PS - be careful, read Seun's comments. |

Seun: Ouch!!   I have not, nor do I intend to send money to Nigeria. My questions were simply to enable me to better advise my Mum. I know many in here claim to be talking about a friend or whatever when they pose questions to forum members, but the difference here is that I am being honest! Mum is almost 60 years old, I am certainly not in any postion to be telling her what to do, out of respect for her age and the fact that she is my Mum. I just wanted to arm myself with some education about BTA, so that I can then advise her based on fact, not mere assumption. Ugwumba: Thank you, Ugwumba. I'll pass this information to Mum immediately. |
