Travelling Out Should Not Be So Difficult If You Know What To Do by Nobody: 1:29pm On Apr 30, 2020
I want to advice everyone that is interested in travelling out of Nigeria ,to start thinking out of the box ,most of the embassies in Nigeria are overwhemed with high numbers of applicants ,coupled with a large numbers of fraudulent applicants ,has also made it difficult for them to sometimes be objective in doing their job.

I had alot of experiences with some embassies in Nigeria from Poland to USA,Canada,UK,Mexico ,Italy and South Africa. Most of the time applications for visa was denied without any concreate reasons, but its their country and one as to respect that , the most painful was Mexican visa which was denied because the counsular was not able to contact the university i wanted to attend a Spanish language course,without making any delibrate effort.

If you are fed up with visa denial and wasting money, i would advice you to think of moving out of Nigeria to a less popular country which is visa free or on arrival "outside" the African continent legally as a student or work visa ,then from there you can apply for a country that is closer in standard to the country you intend to travel to ,if you get the visa go and come back,do not abuse the visa rule it always back fire ,you can now apply for your destined countries based on your preference , use the HDI (countries list of Human development index ) to guide you on where to start from .
You will be so suprised how some countries have empty embassies and how friendly you could be treated if you have the right documents .

In my case i applied for schengen visa from an Eurasia country and got it .the process was so easy and what stuck me was the limited docuemntation needed ,because i'm a student ,instead of asking for millions in my bank account ,they simply ask how many days you intend to spend ,if 5 day then you are required to have only 80 euro per day for living expenses ,thats all and letter from your school and 6 months valid legal permit and an hotel and flight resevations.

kindly note most top countries like CANADA and USA both have a very high visa denial rate for Nigerian over 70percent in 2019 ,if in doubt google is your friend ,think outside the box and reduce your chances of wasting your hard earned money .

OP you're a very very wise man. This is what I tell my friends very often. The more they apply and get rejected when they finally realise how much they have wasted both on application runs and crying empty tears they will sit up by force.

It depends on the skills you have. My first real job out of school was with an Australian company and that job let me into Italy without a Visa. It is a highly specialised field though.

This isn't guaranteed either. I got a work permit last year here in Nigeria for China but was rejected due to language barrier.

for Germany it as been very hard for an average Nigerian to get visa appointments so you could travel to Neitherland or Holland , Nigerians have to start considering this country even though they may not offer 18 months stay back like Germany ,they offer 1 year start back and visa are most times 100percent guaranteed if you have all the funds and academic requirements

For Australia you can find a school that as an external campus of the AUSTRALIA university you like , enrol there with the intension of transfering academic credit ,there many of this universities in Vietnam ,Singapore and even South Africa

Nice topic OP.

If not that some if our people has shyte in the toilet without flushing but family based immigration to the USA is one that I highly recommend. When truly genuine.

Lots of African Americans and actually also regular Americans are intrigued with Africa and her culture. Naija guys are known to be loving, hard working and family oriented.

Good luck to all international aspirants. Best of luck to us at home too, we’ll keep the light on for you grin

Op is on point.
If your target is USA, first go to UAE, you can stay for 2 weeks or 1 month and come back. Then you try schegen , czech or UK. Once you have a valid Uk visa, it makes it easier to visit other countries.

The process somehow changes if you want to live and work permanently... I don't want to overstay any visa and be hiding in the country. I have passed that stage.
