TravelRe: 10 Nights in Dubai by almaj: 8:26pm On May 24, 2018
[quote author=thefunclubenterprise post=67845146]Just read your story, its an interesting one, apparently I saw it at a time I was planning a trip to dubai in June or July when I get a break from business.

I had contacted wontra whom I usually book flights through and they sent me a list of three hotels, the cheapest being 232k for 7 days inclusive of visa and airport transfers. Then they got me a direct flight deal via Emirates for abt 245 or so.
Also another travel agent gave me a 400k deal for claridge hotel and Rwanda air (stop over inclusive)

I am considering taking the cheaper one (as Nigerian man wen I be), however a staff who was there in January advise I do everything myself without using agents, according to him I should secure the visa which he said cost him abt 45k, then go to booking.com where I will get deals for 10k per night around deira for 3 star hotels, that's about 70k, then I can book Rwanda air or Ethiopia air for abt 210k. making everything fall down to 325k. However I'm kind of skeptical about doing it myself as I don't want any hassles(unless it saves me some good amount then hassles can be my surname), I have never been there.

I want your advise from your experience, which should I go for, also do you have better advises for me?

I'm sure many people who you have watered their mouth with this trip will also want information relating to this.

Lastly I plan on taking only 200k for spending there aside the above costs, hope it will be enough, because my budget isn't more than 600k total.

PS: Any other person with good information can also reply, help a brother. Thank you

Since you are a first timer, why not use Emirates vacation? They will give you affordable package of your choice which includes ticket, visa, hotel, airport transfers and tours. I used them in the past and found them affordable and efficient.

I applied to attend my brothers convocation,unfortunately which was yesterday, I had my biometrics on the 14th of march, it been more than 27 working days, TLS haven't contacted me .

Someone here suggested I give them a call, which I did and their Sheffield customer care told me they have taken a decision a long time ago and I should go and collect my passport, getting to the TLS office they told me my passport isn't with them and its isn't ready for collection.

Pls house advise me on my next step.
Visit the embassy with your checklist and form of identity to complain to them, if you cannot do that; write a complaint letter to them with necessary details. Good luck.

TravelRe: China Opens Visa Centre In Abuja by almaj: 3:49pm On Apr 14, 2018

As Posted By Thisdaylive

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Abuja has opened a new visa application centre in Abuja to facilitate procurement of Chinese visas for Abuja residents and environs. 

The centre, located at Churchgate Plaza, Central Business District, will commence operations from September 20, 2017, according to the Deputy Ambassador, Mr. Lin Jing.

Jing said the visa application centre was opened to improve the service standard for applicants but not to harm the procedure.

Speaking to journalists at a media briefing yesterday in Abuja, Jing said: “From Wednesday, all ordinary passport holders wishing to visit the People’s Republic of China are requested to apply for visas at Abuja China Visa Application Centre,”

He however said diplomats and official passport holders or applicants applying for Hong Kong/Macao Special Administrative Region visa/entry permits are to submit their applications directly to the Chinese embassy.

He said another centre would also be opened in Lagos where visa applications would be submitted there.

Jing said nevertheless, application process and duration for visa issuance remain unchanged.

“We have limited resources and facilities and over the past years we have seen visa applicants sweating under the sun shine.

“We have been trying hard to improve our service and make it more comfortable for visa applicants while waiting for their interviews or to submit applications.

“We are happy to announce that China visa application centre will open on September  20, 2017. We hope that with the opening of the centre, we will improve our services for applicants from all walks of life.

“The centre would be located at Churchgate Plaza, Central Business District, Abuja.

“The centre is entrusted to receive visa applications on behalf of the embassy and we have a duty to oversee their operation,” he said.

The envoy reiterated that the decision to approve or disapprove visa applications still resides with the embassy.

He added that successful applicants are also expected to pick their passports from the centre.

The deputy ambassador who disclosed that the new visa application fee is now 31,250 which included service fees and VAT, adding that the application centre is a commercial entity and independent of the Chinese embassy and urged prospective applicants to be patient with the new development.

Thanks so much for your response.
Considering my graduation is actually the main reason I’m applying for this visa. Is it impossible to use just my graduation invite letter. I’m worried that I might be rejected because my graduation is in July and I’m planning to travel in May. That’s why I was considering getting an invite letter from my friend aswell to submit alongside my graduation invite letter. But do you think
Just the graduation invitation would suffice please?

No I’m not travelling with anybody. My dad and siblings would be coming much later.

From experience, you can apply now and travel as many times as you want but with the visa validity period and if it's multiple visa you are given.
