Chief Ben,
I have 3 questions:

Is it a must to present an introduction letter from one's employer to the Consular at the Mexican embassy stating that the person would be on vacation in Mexico?

2. There were 3 options to prove economic solvency as required for the VISA processing, my question is can someone provide all the 3 if they are available or is it just one? The 3 are: proof of employment, credit balance of minimum $1500 USD and proof of house ownership.

3. I also called the South African Airlines customers care center today and I asked the lady what the price is if I'm flying from Lagos to Mexico, she replied a whooping sum of 1.7million NGN! I was shocked.

I would appreciate if there are cheaper options that you're aware of, if you can share.
Thank you.
I didn't say you should call. I said you should go to their office. They will look for the ticket in your presence there. She probably didn't bother to look up the ticket because she receives ten's of such calls everyday.

Chief Ben,

I just checked this now and saw that a VISA fee of $36 must be made. My question is, would this payment be made before appearance at the Visa Officer office in the embassy or it would be after the interview with the V.O?

"1. Please be informed that according with new Government regulations, as of January 1st, 2017, visa applications at the Embassy of Mexico will have a non-refundable naira equivalent charge of $36.00 USD that must be deposited directly to the Embassy’s Account: UBA Nigeria 1019196823, Embassy of Mexico."

Thanks.
Before 2017, the Mexican embassy gives you a deposit sleep to pay for your visa after it is given to you. If they deny you visa, you won't have to pay a dime. However, starting from January 1st 2017, you must pay the visa fee of $36 before the interview. And it's non refundable.

Top of the day @benpedro, another question. apart from using South Africa Airline, other airline seem to have one or twoo stop over either way. Now, wont that be difficult if one decide to use airline other than SA airline and had to do stop over say in UK or US, won't getting transit visa be an issue even though one has destination visa available to him?

I do appreciate the effort you've put into this thread despite your tight schedule. Best regard
There is no direct flight from Nigeria to Mexico. All flights from Nigeria to Mexico must have a stopover in UK, US, Brazil or any of the European countries. Your best bet will be to apply for a schengen transit visa, preferably French transit visa. South African airways is recommended because you won't need a transit visa in South Africa and Brazil if you're not staying more than 24 hours at the airport.

since you don't want to go private, my questions are :-
1)I'm a professional Barber, I fit barb anything wey b hair, can I get a shop over there to start my business or can I work under someone?
2) I'm a graduate as well, what's the possibility of me getting other jobs that is not a teaching job
3) can I start job hurting or work with a tourist visa

thanks so much for your understanding ......

1. Barbing is considered a menial job here especially when their hair is totally different from ours.
2. I'm not God, so I don't know your possibilities or chances per say. You just quit doubting yourself and take a leap.
3. Yes, but you'll still have to leave the country after you get one.

No, I don't. Lagos-->South Africa-->Brazil-->Mexico via South African Airlines. I read that's the cheapest route.
Go to South African airways office in Murtala Mohammed airport Lagos and book your flight. Flights are cheaper from that office.

Chief Benpedro,
Thank you for the selfless service of sharing vital information here and I must say that you're doing an amazing job.

I just checked and realized that the cheapest round trip ticket from Lagos to Mexico is $1,450 USD. That's kinda huge for someone who has savings in Nigerian Naira.

If I may ask, is there any cheaper round trip tickets you can recommend from any airline? If yes, please share the link.

Thanks a lot.
Do you have a US or European transit visa? Which route do you plan to take?
