hello Nairalanders,

Am planning applying for a visiting visa to Finland but however want to build up a travel history on my passport.

and to do that I'm planning a self west African tour to the following countries, Benin, Togo, Ghana, ivory coast and Sierra Leone, I choose to visit this much as I intend getting intouch with some business associates in some of these countries too.

however I wish to verify .....do I need visa stamps on my passport for these countries as I said...I want to have credible travel history on my passport devoid of the false Dubai visa I had two years ago which I do not know if I should replace my passport or tear off the pages...

again I plan using road from Cottonuo to lome, then Accra and connects a flight to Freetown and Freetown to Lagos ......please what could be my budget Tfair wise only?
