New requirements from NDLEA

what is the use of the ndlea cert? u need it to board or When applying for a Visa?

TechSpot:
The embassy is open so you can apply. To get into Brazil as a tourist you are required to show health insurance

Sir please let us encourage people to do things in a civil manner although I encourage people to take their chances 100% but sum1 having a protruding stomach showing up at the embassy applying for tourist visa is just not right these people know whats up and aren't stupid they myt deny the app and cases like this becomes a problem 4the next person & soils the little reputation that we don't have left. All the best sir

Glowing1:
Has anyone receive tourist visa recently? Im 7mths pregnant dont knw if i can apply

7mths is alot sis you showing already?, the application process takes abt 3months

I've noticed that everyone getting approvals for tourist/visitor visas have good travel history.. What's the fate of we the first time applicants aka Virgin passports

Laycon should help us manipulate buhari to resign biko I beg

TechSpot:
Ok... I just want to school the wise.

1) Brazil visa application don't need you to show ties beyond employment. They returned all my land docs and family pics I attached in my application.

2) Yes I did.

So I can say something like I have 2k in my acct and the trip will cost 1k I intend to pay from there?
Or I'll say
Flight :1k
Tours:2k
Accomodation :5h
Total=2.5k
Please break it down for me sir

@techspot sir please you don't have to derail this beautiful thread to convince anybody I just finished reading and I have a few questions
1:aside the cac documents or introduction letter from employer how did you show ties to country?
2:in the intenerary letter did you outline cost of the trip and expenses

jimmyroger:
What you really need is a statement of your personal account.. Try and be sending yourself salary from ur business account to ur personal account every end of the month for 5, or 6 months, get documents for a landed property in ur name... U can also add ur PhD letter of introduction to it... And after 6 months of running the account with salary u should have like 1. 2 million if u re paying in 200k...mind u.. U will be deducted some amount like 50k to 70k from that account every month so it shows u re using it for ur upkeep

Sir are you suggesting I go as an employee of the company not an entrepreneur (ceo)
How old should the company be to look legit 1year 2.. 3?
Since the company is not in lagos can the embassy verify location & if the company is running or not?

TechSpot:
Onipanu, Somolu or go to Computer Village, Ikeja.

Thank you sir
Pls sir I just registered my business 3months back using those documents for visa application will it fly?

@Adjo10 don't waste time replying those kids
2 things I have realized on travel section

50% of the people giving advice are kids who have never been out of the country b4 they only have access to the Internet and watch cnn
Most nigerians are not looking for comfort they're only LOOKING for big names like USA CANADA AUSTRALIA so they can intimidate others back home they rather do odd jobs in those places than go where they can live quiet and tranquil life

CowbellY:
Yes.

Petyprincess:
Lol for visiting,if you have someone in Poland it's quite easier bt if you going as a tourist you will just have to prove a certain amount in your account that will cover your stay in Poland.
As long as your account statement is okay you wnt have a problem getting a visa trust me

travel history is always a koko for Nigerians based on our good reputation they always want to see proof proof proof..you claim to be a tourist show them the proof..tho grace differs my grandma has been to the US trice for omugwo I ain't stepped out of Africa don't know how she does it

xule20:
This is the price for 2weeks visa while 30days is about 50k. Check your banking app.

Thanks alot

Ope4Christ:
This price must have been before Covid-19 pandemic. Current price would be way higher than this figure, since air tickets are very expensive now among other things.

The agencies always know how to get their things done at a cheaper rate, for example, they book cheap tickets ahead of time with discounts, you will have a shared hotel room, shared transportation to your tourist's centres etc.

They always have Executive(for the rich), Premium (business class) and General(economy) offers.

The more the population for them the cheaper it becomes. But if you want to come to Dubai all alone, you spend more.

You can book with Emirates Airline, they will process your Visa and flight together.

The initial Visa fee I quoted was for 3-months Visa.

No sir one week is enough na travel history I dey find lol
How much is the lowest I can hold as bta when coming?

Ope4Christ:
No.

The Visa should cost you around 150 to 180k
Return ticket between 280 to 350k
Your upkeep for one week 100 to 200k depending on type of accommodation(hotel or private bed space), feeding, transportation, tourist's attractions you want to visit etc.

But I do see alot of agencies advertising 400k trips to dubai flight inclusive

NONNYG:
It start counting the day you enter UAE, meanwhile you have to travel before 60 days from the day the visa was issued, else the visa will expire

Can 350k take me to dubai and back for a week?

justwise:
[/b]
Is this a holiday to Hungary or study visa?

Visit sir

lucasalves:
You can apply from any country in the world depending on where you are applying to. I have done it numerous times.. get out there and don't let travel agents spoon feed you info

Its my first time sir please enlighten me.
Can I visit dubai and apply from there?

justwise:
So how many people are involved in this business? Is the 200-300 a net profit from the business or gross one?

You don’t use business money for a leisure trip, you use your net profit while the business account acts as your tie to Nigeria.

You can’t just pay yourself salary, that is like setting your own exam questions and writing It then claim to be very clever student .

4persons are involved in this business
It's my net profit(personal income)
The business account is not too much just 600k in it but my personal savings is enough to sponsor me to and fro x2 with alot of left over..
The business is not my only source of income I do home lessons I get paid in cash and it's not documented..

I read your post where you said if the company account is not in good shape do not include it am just getting confused now Please give me a verdict

Nemie:
If your business is registered and your source of income is legitimate and well the business also has an account, then you may be better off using your business as the sponsor for your trip, rather than opening an account and all that. You may need to get a letter head and issue a vacation permit to yourself from your company. The whole transferring money to yourself may sound good, but how much would you transfer to yourself? How will u account for your normal expenses or do u plan to leave the money without touching it (even tho feasible, would likely be a red flag)

Minus having money to travel, what embassies also critically look at is ties to your home country, a good job or business is a reasonable reason to return to the country. My 2 cents

dehiero:
That's like using company funds for your personal affairs if the company is registered then the memorandum and article should show how shares are divided among the shareholders they must approve the spending too and how does the trip benefit the company? I don't know how much she proposed spending if it's more than half of the company earnings then am sorry so if I where her i'll take the 1st option being the safest

i had to quote @dehiro comment he explained it all.
6 months personal statement of account is also a requirement and i think adding it will show my ties to the company through the salary isnt that a plus?

lucasalves:
Yes that will be a start but if you are looking to travel to a top country that probably won't cut it... South Africa needs Visa but it's relatively easy to obtain and Dubai was getting easier by the day prior to the lockdown, Kenya is also easy enough even countries like Cambodia are visa on arrival and who knows applying from these countries might even be easier than in the country... Everyone's journey is just different, you have to know what you want and how best to get it. From my trips outside the country I find out people who are usually relaxed about things and don't panic can reach places even with very low budget... Keep any money you have with you now expect these countries to lower their financial demands as they are looking for tourists and foreigners to boost their economy due to the effect of Covid 19

sir i dont think you can apply from a country where you dont have a resident permit.

justwise:
1. Are you making profit from this business? If yes then what is your average monthly net income

2. Which country are you traveling to?

There is nothing like paying yourself salary when you are a sole-owner of the business, the profit is yours and she be declared as such

1: i make around 200k -220k
2: Hungary
sir the business is not a sole proprietor i don't think i can dump funds in the account and declare it as profit i have to reveal the source of income (documented) that's why i had to register the company open an account for it and pay myself

lucasalves:
Sister i will probably suggest you give yourself time with the bank account situation... a lot of embassies actually prefer proof of funds enough to finance your trip and having a sketchy account will only make you look suspicious (afterall why would you travel if you can't look after yourself throughout your stay?) i have seen people with very low account balance granted visa as long as they can proof they are able to finance their trip... Lord help you if you are business owner as you said and they discover you are paying less Tax than you should (trust me different embassies different level of scrutiny). My 1 dollar advise is you should actually have a travel history to countries that are visa on arrival for Nigerians. More stamps on your passport makes you seem like a more legit traveller.

Thanks alot I have enough funds but my business is not documented and people don't pay through my account that's why I seek help.. What if I visit some ecowas countries/ visa free countries like ghana or benin.

iretiogo1:
yes of course you can add anything that we show tie to your home country car ,land ,building document bla bla

Many thanks sir

Thanks for your response so far I am grateful please can i attach a letter from my school stating I am running a PhD program and I'll be back to continue my studies after my trip? Will it be accepted by the embassy?

please where can I produce a company stamp/seal in Lagos or Ibadan?

Stephenmoka4:
Casserole, just take the business revenue and show them your cut or percentage.

Do you mean the company shares?

iretiogo1:
The best to do is have a company account and pay yourself salary from the company account to your personal account and run your expense for it
Don’t allow any other money in your personal account expect the salary for better chance

Can the embassy verify if the company is existing or not? Although it's registered
