Review of International Spending Limits on Your Naira MasterCard and Sale of PTA and BTA
Dear Customer,
Commencement of PTA and BTA Sales and Review of International Spending Limits on Your Naira MasterCard
This is to inform you that we will commence the sale of Personal and Business Travel Allowance (PTA & BTA) from Monday, 10th August 2015 at select branches across the country. This means that all intending travellers can now purchase foreign currency at designated GTBank branches up to a quarterly limit of $5,000 and $4,000 (for BTA and PTA respectively) or its equivalent in GBP and EURO.

Please find requirements below:


Business Travel Allowance (BTA)
Personal Travel Allowance (PTA)
1
Valid visa and return ticket
Valid visa and return ticket
2
Valid International Passport
Valid International Passport
3
Copy of Certificate of Incorporation

4
Letter of Invitation from offshore business counter party

5
Letter of nomination from your employer


However, in view of the increased difficulty in sourcing foreign currency to settle international transactions on Naira MasterCards, we have reduced the daily international spending limit on your Naira MasterCard to $300.This means that you can only spend up to $300 daily when using your GTBank Naira MasterCard for international payments via POS and online.

You will, however continue to have the option of paying for medical bills, school fees, mortgages and credit cards using Form A, as these are eligible transactions for foreign currency. Simply visit any GTBank branch to complete a Form A along with the required documents to make these payments.

Kindly accept our sincere apologies for every inconvenience this might cause, and we would like to assure you that we are working hard at finding alternative sources for foreign currency and a quick respite to this situation.
For ways we can help you, please contact our Card Services Team at cardservices@gtbank.com and our 24-hour contact centre, GTConnect on any of the numbers listed below.

which POE
hastee:
Hello house! In the spirit of giving back, let me share my POE experience. I bought my ticket at emirates office to chicago but upon reading many poe scary stories i decided to reroute to newyork-chicago despite having all the right documentation, i was trying to avoid any form of delay and stress because i travelled with hubby and my 2 yrs old toddler. This costed about a 100k plus naira for d change and rerouting but i felt it was still better than taking risk. Got to the airport, fit to fly was requested for, i am 34weeks but my doctor wrote 32weeks which i think was best for me to avoid unnecessary questioning. Trip was very stressful (long hours flight plus a cranky toddler). I placed an order for a wheelchair service. I didnt use it at d nigerian airport. On getting to dubai, i requested for a wheelchair but the guy i asked said i wasnt entitled to a wheelchair (that they dont give wheelchair services to pregnant women as the airline might think i am not fit to fly). I felt upset cos i was tired. Boarded from dubai to newyork. On arriving newyork i requested for a wheelchair and they were so glad to give me one. The wheelchair pusher was awesome, he made everything so easy for us. Toddler was on my lap all through. With the wheelchair we were given preference over others. We didnt need to join the very long queue. CBP officer: hi
Me: hi
CBP: wat are u here for
Me: childbirth and vacation
CBP: good. How long are u here
Me:2months
CBP: Anything to declare
Hubby: 8000 dollars (though we had 12k dollars cash and the rest in the account but hubby said he didnt want them to stress us over amount exceeding 10k dollars that was why he said we had 8k dollars)
CBP: ok thats fine. Do u have food stuff
Me: yes we do
CBP stamped us in for 6 months and sent us to agriculture.
He didnt ask for doctors corresponces, letter of change of intent and all burden of proof we had with us.
we got our bags and got to agric.
Agric: wat do u have
Me: nigerian food, egusi, ogbono (meanwhile we had alottttt of food items, egusi ,ogbono, dried fish, stock fish ,wara (fried cheese), garri ,groundnut, crayfish, kulikuli ,dried pap, dried pepper, kilish ,fried snail ,elubo for amala ,chicken maggi, onion indomie, milo, milk cereal for toddler ,custard ) i needed to bring all of these for my host to make dem happy.
so the agric guy transfered us to the screening section. My heart was pounding already. As God would have it the screening guys asked wat we had in our bags(5 checked in bags and 2 hand luggages) I said egusi ogbono. As i was trying to call other names he asked, do u have yam, fruits, i said no. He just said u can go. No screening whatsoever took place. We were super glad. And that was it. I was still on the wheelchair all through. The wheelchair pusher got a cab for us to our hotel room cos we decided to spend the night in newyork. The guy was super awesome, hubby gave him a tip of 20dollars. Left for chicago yest via jetblue. Everything went easy. Got a wheelchair service too, avoided those very long queues. Arrived chicago, got our bags and waited for uncles arrival for pick up.

In all it was a great experience. JFK remains the best. All thanks to God and this forum. I got all information here. U guys are really really wonderful. Getting set for doctors 1st appointment on monday.
Will update as events unfolds. BTW chicagos weather is fantastic!

TravelRe: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by blackedwin: 10:07am On Jul 11, 2015
Hello VO,
I and my wife applied for a B1/B2 VISA in June 2012,few months later my wife became pregnant and we decided that we have the baby in the US,in November we contacted a hospital/Doctor in the US ,paid all the required fees.Then in we traveled to the US December at the POI we told the immigration officer that we were there to have our baby,we were taken to a room where we were kept for close to 45minutes where series of questions were been asked, hospital was contacted and information confirmed and we were later cleared in.we had our baby paid all outstanding fees and equally obtained clearance letter from the Hospital.
Last year we renewed out VISAS and we intend to have our next baby in the US ,same hospital/doctor contacted and required fees paid,but the thought of the last experience is causing some panic in me and wife.what's your advice?

Regards
Edwin

My Parents didn't abort me because they wanted me... There is a difference dummy.

People abort pregnancies because they either don't want the baby or for health reasons.. So if a woman is going through a pregnancy that could kill her nko? She should die with he pregnancy and probably the baby? Or if a woman is diagonosis with a malformed pregnancy, she should give birth to the child? Or a woman who wants no more children and somehow gets pregnant because her contraceptives failed? Or a girl who is pregnant from a raape? Or .....

Point is I am pro abortion.. As long as the Mother wants it gone.


When some of you hear abortion, ur mind first runs to your juvenile boyfriend give girl belle wey she wan commot scenario.
Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.

Destroy lives ko..

I am pro-abortion. Children are puppies that you can born throway like that. I am not speaking in defence of this OP as his matter is a special case, I am talking about abortion from a general point of view.

If it can be done safely and the female wants it, then please let her have it done.
