Sorry to hear of your plight. However, you'd have to go to Bangkok, Manila, or KL.

Mind you, if the criminals working at the KL office some years ago are still there, then, it's a no go area.

The nearest place to get it done is Malaysia but one needs to pay $1600 for 14 days quarantine and before Vietnam allows one in, he has to get an entry permission from their government and in turn pay $1500 for 14 days quarantine. Vietnam government does not grant any African entry permit ones on exit the country. My friends that came back to Nigeria to renew theirs spent not less than $3000 on flight ticket alone and they are already stuck in Nigeria. It is terrible

The Pain Of Expired Passport Holders In Qatar. - Travel - Nairaland

I share in your pains. I know what you passed through and what you are passing through now. The question is not going to Nigeria to do it but Vietnam can not allow us in again. They have stop giving African visa.

Dem developers you think you have the right to get lost in obscure places in the world.

You don't have to come online and display your level of your education. You have Internet and phone in your hands, try and do a little research. Your are the type that base in Nigeria and will be giving advice about what happens in abroad.

My case was so traumatic cause i risked loosen my job and residency because of this issue until the government of Qatar made it easier to return to Qatar if you exited. many who left before the new policy still cant come back till date. thank God i had some money saved up. Nigeria has a lot to do when it comes to passport renewals and issuing, many foreigners around me just couldn't understand why i needed to go back to Nigeria for the sake of my passport during a pandemic. I just told myself I DO NOT OWE NIGERIA ANYTHING[b][/b]

this happened in Qatar until the government changed it recently. now every one that exit after the new policy get a re-entry re-entry permit automatically.

Same with the Embassy in Tokyo.

Absolutely useless.

Phone numbers dont work. Embassy closed!!!!

Nothing works in this country.

The embassy in Qatar is more useless, the only good thing in the embassy here is the Kenyan Lady working at the embassy. that lady legit told us to go to Nigeria if we can to renew our passport that embassy doesn't have a passport machine.

We have two Embassies in Vietnam and non of them is issuing passport. They are always at the mercy of Nigerian Embassy in Malaysia. A lot of us who are genuinely working are at edge of loosing our work because of issue of expired passport.

Staying a day after ones visa expiration in Vietnam is 5 years entry sanction. Why can’t Nigeria immigration Service do non-appearance passport for those their passports have expired like other African countries here in Vietnam.

Most of the African countries don’t even have Embassies much more a passport desk here but they never lack any basic service from their government. My Ghanaian and Uganda friends are not shaken at all by this pandemic limitations and expiring passport wahala. My Ghanaians friend sent their copy of their expiring passports to their High Commission in Malaysia and all their passport were done and sent back to them through DHL.

Ours is a different ball game even when we have our finger prints and details in the immigration database. Most countries don't have issues with their own Embassies even when the Embassies are not sited here. They are 100% assured of any basic needs they might be in need. Why are we a pain to our citizens. Why can't the citizens of Nigeria be proud of Nigeria just for once. I am really pained and our help is only from above. We have the risk of loosing our jobs and returning back to Nigeria just to renew our passport and have no chance of coming back due to the fact of border closing on foreigners. If our passports can't be renewed in another country where we have two Embassies then what is the purpose of having Embassies there.

Are we truly a shithole country likeTrump said?

Naija why? Are we cursed as a nation?
Analogue leaders in high places of authority?
What is wrong with us?

You don't use the exchange rate to judge the cost of living and other things. Their minimum wage is 72,000 naira. As an English teacher, you are considered as an expert and your salary ranges from $700-$2000 after tax depending on one experiences. You can make more researches on your own.

I am not stranded and I can't be. If Nigerian government is up and doing, no one will come online to ask for a basic services other countries are enjoying without raising an eyes brow. This is 2021 and change your mentality.
