Guys, please share with me your recent experience assessing PTA from Nigerian banks. What is the possibility of me getting my PTA approved within one week to my travel date? I heard some banks nowadays deliberately deny eligible applicants by delaying disbursement. I bank with Access and Zenith banks. Which of the two might give me PTA without delay?

WatchYourSix:


Politicians have packed foreing currency because of election ....hence the scarcity
Access is now issuing card with what your buy instead of raw cash becos of the scarcity

toluxa1:


Does the card make it faster?

WatchYourSix:


Yes...in a way

splashclothin:

Is the transaction instant or you have to go through the same process

WatchYourSix:


Same process....u submit your passport with visa, plane ticket....just that because there is shortage of physical dollar...they pay part into card so u have it electronically and a small part in cash.....

indegrees:


Can the plane ticket be two single one-way tickets or it must be round trip? Do they check?

WatchYourSix:


Usually the policy is u must return...
But whem u het to the branch their HOP or someone from head office will have to approve your request of you dont have return ticket.....only students and work visa holders are permitted buy one way

indegrees:


Does that mean I can go for my pta with a one way ticket and work visa?

What about Nigerians who are living and working abroad who are visiting the country. Do you think they can get if they apply too? Just that their return ticket is from their country of abode to Nigeria and then back.

Meanwhile, thank you for the insight so far
