My bank statement is not stable i don't receive money on a monthly basis (although the cash flow within the last 6 months is up 2 500k) and[b][/b] secondly my passport carries 3 names but my bank carries only 2[b][/b]
You can request that your bank add the missing name to the account number. Had the same problem when I was applying for a visa but my bank changed the account name in a matter of weeks. Good luck.

HEY GUYS! PLEASE DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY NIGERIAN EMBASSY IN MEXICO HAS AN EMAIL ADDRESS OR A WEBPAGE PLEASE! I DID LOOK UP SO MANY ONLINE ALL WITH DIFFERENT INFORMATIONS, JUST TRYING TO CONTACT THEM ABOUT RENEWING MY INTL PASSPORT THAT WILL EXPIRE IN SEPTEMBER.
Tough luck on you bro. They don't have enough passport booklets for Nigerians down there in Nigeria, talk more of we here. My friend here got his permanent residency since February this year have been contacting the embassy for a passport renewal so he can go on with processing his citizenship but all to no avail. I sent you a pm. Reply asap. I will be visiting Monterrey for summer holidays this August.

Fashola should've bowed out when the ovation was loudest. Sometimes I feel pity for him for showing Nigerians how incompetent he really is. Like I keep saying, anyone can be successful as a Lagos governor with all its revenue. If Tinubu could be termed successful even after stealing Lagos blind......

It is their accrued allowance, they deserve it! If you think otherwise then never you come here anyday to complain about your boss owing you in any way. However, Buhari would never pay such an amount for education...come on!..let's be realistic.dude became the president without a school certificate, right? Why then should he pay billions for 'worthless' education? Is it not the so called sophisticated/educated nigerians who stated publicly that they would vote for an illiterate even if he presented a nepa bill as certificate and now he uses guns to control the currency grin grin grin I just dey shame shame for una over here

MrMarto5:
I'm traveling to Mexico city on Tuesday 18th and will take about 2 days to get there... that's pretty far anyway good luck to those who haven't gotten their visas .. cheers
Pray hard bro. Getting a Mexican visa is easier than entering Mexico. Try to have all or some of these things listed below to avoid problems at the port of entry;

a. get a letter of invitation.

b. Have the phone number of any Mexican citizen or legal resident who speaks spanish. He should be willing to keep his phone by his side on your arrival day.

c. Book and Pay for a hotel accomodation before coming. If you are gonna spend 100 days in Mexico, Book and PAY for a hotel room for those 100 days.

d. Make sure the hotel customer service phone number is open 24 hours and their agents available to pick their calls as the immigration officer will always want to call to confirm. Avoid cheap hotels.

e. Have a reasonable amount of PTO. That PTO is $1,000 minimum does not mean, you should have $1,000. Try to have a little bit more.

f. Dont talk too much. Those guys at the airport do not understand english talk more of your Nigerian accent english. They would just be nodding their heads but at the end of the day they will do what is logical to them. Sad! Just say what you need to say and lett your Spanish speaking host do the rest of the talking.

g. Never tell the immigration officer that you will be staying for more than 7 days in Mexico no matter what. That would automatically land you in the next Aeromexico flight to brazil and subsequently MMIA Lagos.

h. Just have a bag with your clothes. I know it might be tempting to come over with lots of nigerian food but resist it. The sight of weird food, the strong 'repugnant' smell, a nigerian, and transiting through Brazil! Do the Math.


These are all i can remember for now and please do remember that this is just my opinion. Safe trip bro!

MightyJeff:
Hello my people, Please I need advice on this:

I'm a Nigerian but my girl friend is a Mexican. Now we are planning to get married. Which mean I have to travel to Mexico.

my questions are:

What type of visa do I need.?
Do I need an invitation letter from her?
Do I need "proof of economic solvency"(statement of account) if she's sponsoring the travel.?

Thanks.
you should apply for a tourist visa. Mexico issues 6 months tourist visa. Your girlfriend should send you a notarized invitation letter together with her 3 months statement of account if she will be sponsoring the travel. Albeit, your chances of getting the visa would be so slim if at your age, a woman you have never met is sponsoring your travel..Thats likely gonna sound childish and unserious to the V.O. my opinion though

Karma is a biatch! When Boko haram were killing the Christians and igbo businessmen up there in the north, most of these people protesting today were in support of them. Now see where they ended up. No home, no food, no water and technically, no Future!

Thanks,

also while filling the form online, there was a space to fill mothers maiden name, I filled it.

Now my confirmation is showing my mothers maiden name as part of my name and It seems bad to me.

I can't see where to edit or cancel the appointment.

Please advise.
don't worry about that. Mexicans do have two surnames, that of their father and mother.The immigration understands.It is just an appointment. Any other processing henceforth will be done with the information on your paasport
