Getting Schengen, United Kingdom, United States, and certain other countries’ visas can be a nightmare. A retired Nigerian diplomat tells BusinessDay that, “while a Japanese businessman or citizen who has business or travel to do in the US or in EU countries would simply buy a ticket and fly to these countries, his Nigerian counterpart, on the other hand, faces humiliating and oppressive barriers in accessing a visa.” 4 Likes 3 Shares |

She further says she recently paid N400,000 to get a visa interview date at the US Embassy. “If you go to the visa site of the US Embassy to get interview date, they will tell you that there is no date until 2023, but I can tell you that I paid to get a date for the first quarter of this year. My friend also paid to get an interview date.” 7 Likes 1 Share |

It is here that corruption works, Alex tells me. He goes on to explain that, “all members of the pre-submission team that I know of are all Nigerians. We work with them across various embassies. They tell us how many applications to bring. Don’t forget that consulates have a maximum number of visas to issue each month and the pre-submission team knows this. So, they work with some of us to ensure that our candidates get visas. My client pays N2 million and I pay my contacts in the pre-submission team between one million and one and half million naira. Whether it is Area 10 papers or Area 3 papers or Zone 5 papers that we bring, our visas will be approved”. https://businessday.ng/business-economy/article/how-harsh-visa-requirements-spur-fraud-in-nigeria/ 6 Likes 3 Shares |

As dishonest as it may sound, you can't really fault desperate Nigerians from finding ways around the system ... The more stringent visa requirements becomes, the more crafty Nigerians become in circumventing the process. And it's not just about Nigerians, the foreign embassy are not left out of the fraud l, with the high rate of visa denials with no refund or whatsoever to unfortunate applicants. 31 Likes 1 Share |

you can't blame them na. when Nigerians based in other countries in Europe, America or Asia apply for visas to other countries it's usually easy and given. The Japanese man has no incentive to overstay unlike average Nigeria looking to japa after getting a visit visa. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

I don't see this as corruption because anyone who has gone to any foreign embassy will know that getting visa is no joke and These agents makes it easier though more expensive. finding a way out of any problem is a gift all Nigerians possess. 18 Likes 1 Share |

If they don’t want Africans in their country, they should just say so..the discrimination is too much... For student visa...other countries in Europe, Australia, and the like are not asked for anything like proof of funds.... Proof of funds for a while year...it’s ridiculous.... as if those other Europeans students don’t come and work when they get to the UK to pay for their upkeep and even tuition... As if that’s not enough..they even angry we borrow the money to keep in our accounts for 28days.... let them just say they don’t want Africans 15 Likes 1 Share |

If not for those strict and supposedly harsh requirements, Nigeria would have been empty long ago. More than 90% of those applying for visa don't plan on coming back 22 Likes 2 Shares |

advanceDNA:a country like malaysia that opened doors for us that year what happened. Yahoo and drug baron Nigerians flooded the place. A student with tuition or upkeep money is a dangerous or risky person. He may turn to crime to survive. Many of these countries only want Nigerians that are useful to them which is fine 29 Likes |

ednut1: Listen to urself?? How many Nigerian actually have their whole upkeep money for a year with them when entering the uk... virtually none. 99% borrows the money and return it after visa approval... So since many Nigerians graduates have been entering the UK without tuition, working to pay and survive ....what has happened.?? Did UK become like Malaysia.. 17 Likes |

ednut1: Thank God you know say na borrow...and heaven has not fall since our people don dey enter.. so my point is, at least for the student visa category ...i just feel it’s ridiculous to expect someone to have money for a whole year’s upkeep... Sometimes, the stiffer the rules the more you will attract people willing to do anything to bypass them...na the yahoo boys wey dem no want in the first place dem go open doors for. 17 Likes |

ednut1:you should note that the most Nigerians went to this Asian countries for legit work opportunity but was graced with racial segregation, with the shame of coming back home empty handed delve into yahoo, I'm not justifying fruad, I strongly detest it. But the truth has to be said, there are many kind of racism but employment base racism is the worst, and that is what most Asian countries practice. A native European or American with one year experience will be employed before an African with 7 years experience in most Asian countries which is not so in America and most European countries. In UK, some students are already getting work sponsorship, in America with the green card your life is secured. In these countries you can dream to attain any position if you work hard. Why then will majority do yahoo?. No it is not because the give visa to the good ones, but because it is easier to earn legit than to do Yahoo. 12 Likes |

Blame the typical corrupt Nigerian government that makes life miserable for the citizens where everyone wants to japa... even these corrupt government also migrate their families away from the mess they create. Imagine Tinubu, Buhari and every single Nigerian Politician going abroad for medical treatments and to 'rest'. Isn't that alone worrisome? 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Alfa (not real name) is a clinical pharmacist in one of the General Hospitals in Abuja. He told BusinessDay that he has used non-genuine documents designed by specialists in Area 10 to get visas to France, Australia, and the UK in the past. He specialises in providing this false documentation to those who need them. “If you want Buhari’s signature, we can get it for you here,”...... 1 Like |
