You can try Virgin Airline and you will need British transit visa. You can also go through Lufthansa / Condor Airlines, German Embassy will issue transit visa.

You dont need a transit to go to The Bahamas when you fly Ethiopian Airline...
The Route is Abuja/Lagos---Adissababa----Sao Paulo---Bahamas
You dont need a transit visa to land in Brazil.
Just have your connecting flight ticket of not more than 6hrs...
You are good to go.....

I am soooo loving this response... Please and please, I advise you to get a Brazilian transit Visa as you suggested. Never depend on information from previous experiences of transits through airports without visas, the Nigerian passport is very undependable to take close shaves as such, why? Because in one minute immigration/airport authorities could suddenly become hostile towards transiting Nigerian passport holder's and one could be deported in the absence of transit visas & what I am saying is very true. Having gone through with visiting the Caribbeans myself. The airline may allow you on the flight, but immigration could pose a problem for you during passport checks.

Many factors can permit being pardoned during transit without transit visas though; such as the presence of some visas such as the UK, USA or Australia on your passport, being a student in a recognised Uni with valid Id, or having transited through the route before. However if you are a first time traveller please don't take that risk, find a way and get a transit visa esp for Brazil, Sao Paulo airport scrutiny is very unpredictable esp being a Nigerian.

Ask the guy who transited through Sao Paulo without a transit visa the following questions;
1-What other valid visas did he have on his passport?
2-Was he going to school in the Bahamas or did he have student documents?
3-Did he have a government invitation or tourist body invitation from the Bahamas?
Transiting without transit visas is a case based affair o.
A word is enough for the wise.

By the way if you have a Bahamas visa, it's very easy to get a German, Brazilian or Mexican transit visa.

Hello pals,

I just got Bahamas visa family vacation visa.

Please I need advice on which Country transit visa Would be easy for me to apply.

A country that would easily grant me visa to transit to Bahamas.

We wsee given 3months Each

Since we couldn't get a direct flight please help us with your advice I am sure it would have happened to one or two people here in the past.

First of all, A Yuuuge "AMEN!!!" to your prayers.
Now, You have two options of hassle free transit visas and trust me it's going to work- it may sound impossible but this is what people don't know.

1: Since your whole family is going for a vacation in the Bahamas, apply for a US "C1" visa or transit visa, if the Bahamas visas are "on" your passports and you are able to demonstrate you are all going to the Bahamas, and routing your flights were difficult to the Bahamas without a region proxy transit visa of which the US is, you would be easily given. The good side is if you are given, the flight ticket using the US- Florida - Nassau is very cheap, as it is a popular/common destination.
Don't be afraid of the US embassy, if you are confident and able to convince the consular you aren't going to the US, you would be given. Go to a flight agency and get a flight route pre booking in order to explain your itenary.


2: Brazils transit visa is also easy to obtain but, you could also get a Turkish transit visa & Jamaican transit visa, they are very easy to obtain as far as you have a proof of your the Bahamas visa and flight itinerary.
Then that's it your flights are hassle free, plus you get to have visa decorations on your passport (Trust me, it's gonna look good).
Check the website of the embassies for their transit visa and requirements.

However if I were you, the secret many don't know is option one.

Thank me later.
Peace.

Please, Do not, i REPEAT, DO NOT waste your money and time with Bahamas (except you have beta transit visa: US, Uk, Canada)

expertman:


Thank you very much for your comment.

Please can you kindly state your reasons why you think without USA U. K and Canada I shouldn't think about going?

Also between u. K USA and Canada which of them should I apply with?

I mean one that can easily grant me the visa?

Thanks once again

drthiery:


I responded to his questions based on my previous experience through that route......

I was travelling to Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago)....I used Abuja...Addis...Sao paulo...Port of Spain....and I had no issues with the Immigration guys at Sao Paulo.....The Only Visa Stamp i had then on my passport was a South African Visa and I had a connecting flight of 2hrs.....I was alone....They requested for my Passport, BTA, Connecting Flight ticket and hotel reservation in Sao Paulo. I showed them and I was told to wait in the waiting area for my flight....I was even offered snacks and Orange Juice...lolz....My Luck thou....

But to be on the safe side...I think the US Transit Visa is the better option

the Uk Transit seem like the easiest one to get.
Immigration at any airport will flip through your passport to see if you have travel history. Be reasonable, what will anyone from west africa (possibly with no travel history) be doing in the Bahamas on a "Vacation"?. Most of the time, that isn't how traveling works
Again, Bahamas immigration will return you on the next available flight on flimsy excuses. They've been doing that to caricom nationals (esp Jamaicans) who have free entry and exits.

PS: St Lucia is the easiest (or one of) country in the Caribbean to come to on a Nigerian passport. Lost of Nigerian medical students there

expertman:
