Bukunming:
And it went smoothly at the VFS office.
Documents submitted are:
Application form, proof of funds with 1.4million naira balance, payslip, employment letter, letter from my boss, passport page, Covid certificate, hotel reservation, flight reservation, travel insurance, and work ID.

please when is your intended travel date?
Can I book a date for submission up to 4 months from when I want to travel?

Please, can I book a date as a first time visitor now? I understand from this thread that it wasn’t open for first time applicants some months ago.

Abrahamm:
Check on Gulf news page you will found the news there

Nigeria is not on the list updated yesterday on Emirates website.

feelgoodstuffs:
Sometimes 3months sometimes one year, depends on how you package your application, or what they feel like issuing you. I was issued one year for the first time.

I don’t think they issue 3 months visa. It’s more like 1 year, but can’t stay more than 3 months.

Gerald454:
I just read UAE has lifted travel ban on Nigeria , Kenya and 10 other countries.

where did you read that? It’s not on the emirates update page

pufframmy:
1 month maximum have u submitted??

Okay.
I have not applied yet.
I want to travel in June. It seems that I cannot apply until at least, 3 months before I want to travel?

That means I can’t book an appointment with VSF for say, April now?
Would appreciate responses.

Please, how long does visa processing takes on the average after submission at VSF?

teeking:
No labour visa for Nigerians and some Africans, only free zone visa for now.... Good luck.

which one is free zone visa? Me na tourist visa I Dey look for. What about that one?

These embassies actually verify statement of account o.

My bank just called me that I should forward the statement of account I used in applying for Brazilian visa so that they can verify and respond to the embassy.

Fingers crossed!!

Gerald454:
As at today, the covid19 in Nigeria is 436 per day. The issues between UAE with Nigeria is the level of irresponsible leaders we have in Nigeria. It's very difficult to see any country that respect Nigeria as a country. The day Emirates airlines landed in Nigeria, I saw our leaders cutting cake for them. What rubbish .

only 436? and they didn’t ban countries counting in hundreds of thousands?

Please, how do I get a refund from Kenya airways since the flight don enter round 2.

Gerald454:
Same with me. I have booked with kenya airways but if by month end no positive news, I will follow cotonou. Kenya just ban UAE too. So I don't know when the fight will stop.

How they stop flights into their country but still want to be flying into your country still amazes me.

What’s their problem with Nigeria? I thought they resolved their latest wahala with Airpeace/FG. Wetin come happen again?

Gerald454:
Can't you follow Cotonou?

didn’t want to go through that stress. I already booked a flight with Kenya airways.

Ghana and some other countries have been removed from the ban list. Hopefully, they will remove others soon.
I have a visa that expires on February 7, 2022
Was supposed to travel on January 1, 2022.

Yes,
Consulate General of Brazil in Lagos
Plot 257 Kofo Abayomi Street,
Victoria Island,
Lagos-Nigeria

However, always get you information from the official website... do not let anyone give you address, phone number, email, or even acct number. Anyone can help you but always reconfirm from the official website.

I mailed my documents to the embassy today using DHL and included a self addressed envelope, eventhough the person in DHL told me I should know that I am doing that at my own risk as they don’t have an agreement to pick processed applications from the Brazilian embassy.

Wondering if anyone has gone through this route before.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

donbuscka:
Not necessarily always. If you want to take your documents to the consulate IN PERSON or through THIRD PARTY, then you must book appointment and wait till you get a date.

But even the consulate prefer you to send it through courier because when i called, I was asking if i could submit for my wife too but the guy said "Even you do not need to come. Just send it through courier."

As for insurance, i guess you need insurance cover for just the days you are traveling (from departure date from Nigeria to arrival date back to Nigeria). It doesnt make sense to book 1 month insurance when you want to stay for 10 days... that's waste of money cos ideally, once you are back to Nigeria your insurance cover doesnt cover you any longer (thats why it's called TRAVEL INSURANCE)

thank you for taking time to respond.
I guess you’ll address the mail to the consulate general in kofo abayomi right? Or any other address?

donbuscka:
Immediately. I think using courier is the best. No appointment hassles needed. Finish ur application, submit, print the hardcopy receipt, sign and attach passport photos, pay and put ur teller, then send Immediately to consulate... no wasting time for appointment or traveling to Lagos (if u r outside Lagos)

really? I thought some posters said one will have to choose a date for submission after submitting online.

Please, how many days insurance would one book if you want to stay for like 10 days

donbuscka:
I used www.viator.com to book tours. It works like booking.com or expedia. You search for the city you want to go and it will show you tours in the city.

thanx for your response.

Please how long after you submitted online we’re you asked to submit hard copies?

donbuscka:
For me:
International passport.
Cover letter stating what we r going for and some home ties.
Letter of introduction from employer stating position and salary.
Bank reference letter
Bank statement for 6 months
Itinerary letter stating how each day will be spent in Brazil (I booked some tours for both of us and printed the reservation confirmation emails and attached to the itinerary just to confirm to them that i have booked my tours ahead - i did not pay for them yet though).
Hotel booking for the number of days from Expedia.
Flight reservation, return ticket.
Travel Insurance from AXA Mansard (N3500)

For wife
International passport.
Cover letter stating what we r going for and some home ties.
Letter of introduction from employer stating position and salary.
Bank reference letter
Bank statement for 6 months
A letter from me stating i will sponsor her in the trip (attaching my own statement of account and passport data page print out)
Marriage certificate
Itinerary letter stating how each day will be spent in Brazil (I booked some tours for 2 of us and printed the reservation confirmation emails and attached to the itinerary just to confirm to them that i have booked my tours ahead - i did not pay for them yet though).
Hotel booking for the number of days from Expedia.
Flight reservation, return ticket.
Travel Insurance from AXA Mansard (N3500).

That was all the documents i uploaded and sent original to consulate.

The number i called is the number on the consulate contact page on their website.

please, what site did you book the tours?

Iamajala:
Reservation is ok

oh ! Thanx so much.

Oluwo1:
Before you submit the hardcopy.. walk into the bank, you'll find the banking details on their website.

thank you for your response.
One more thing.please, Do I have to pay for an accommodation or a reservation from Booking.com will be Ok?

Blackfinegirl:
its okay covering only your travel date

Oh great! Thank you.

One more question please….At what point does one pay the visa fee? Is it at the point of submitting the hard copy at the embassy?

Please, i did insurance to cover the 10 days I’m supposed to spend. Will that suffice? Or Its supposed to cover more days?

Blackfinegirl:
I bought from axa mansard, it cost about 3 to 4 thousand naira.

Go to their website and select travel insurance , make payment online and receive your insurance certificate in your email.

thank you.

How can this be? Our inflation rate is reducing according lai mohammed.

I refuse to believe any bad news this January…haba. It’s too early nau.

Courage22121:
Good day Nairalanders! I’m thinking of touring South Africa maybe for a month, I don’t really know the cost of it. Everyone’s opinion and suggestions matters (people with experience)
Question 1: How much do I need to have for this ?
2: what are the requirements?
3: pour your mind make I know Watin to do

are you a yahoo boy?
You look like a 17 years old lad.
Are your parents going with you?
Except you are one of these loose yahoo boys, you won’t be granted visa because you look too young to travel alone.

Gerald454:
Nigeria was ban on 23rd. The ban took effect from 25th 7.30am.

hmmm! Okay.

It seems emirates is still flying from Nigeria

Nigeria is not on the list of African countries that were ban on 28, December 2021

Can someone confirm this ?

Keet18:
1. 6months bank statement

2. Ideally it should be within 1-2 working days
Depends on their situation at the embassy in lagos


3. Yes, third party can submit for you

thanx once again.

Please,
1.how do I processes travel insurance? I understand it’s one of the documents to be submitted, though I haven’t seen anyone list it as part of the documents submitted.
2. At what point during processing do I pay the visa fee?
