Mayomiwaa:
Your piece is so refreshing to read. Thank you for sharing.
My friends and I are planning on touring west African countries like you did later this year and I will be doing the planning. I'd like to get information on tourist centres we can visit during the trip, the total cost we should be looking at budgeting for the trip. I'll really appreciate your response.
You can also reach me via my email @ mayowaolaleyeo@gmail.com.
Thank you

horlajay:
I would advise this.

1) Don't pay the remaining 800k.

2) Request for your passport from the agent after the visa expires.

3) Take time to read nairaland travel section thoroughly and consider your options. Remember there are few good countries(standard of living & business) in Africa(Mauritius,Seychelles,Botswana,Cote d'ivoire) Visa free&cheap airfare. If you're keen on Turkey, reapply yourself after some months. Shouldn't cost you more than 70k.

4) Repeat no 3

5) Ignore 1,2,3,4 if you don't mind taking the 1milli risk or if it includes flight ticket,visa fee, accommodation and job offer.

All the best.

YOUNGOLASH1:
Hi pls an going to Ghana for the first time and alone for holiday is this grand view hotel idea for someone going for holiday and tour, pls is it close to places i can visit pls?
Thanks in advance

There are lots of good and nice hotels in Accra, though hotels are expensive in Ghana compare to Nigeria and it's all about your budget.
Get on bookings.com,etc to check out the hotels that suits your budget.
About poxy to places you can visit? You didn't even list out the places you wanna visit in Accra. Moreover, you can always move around in trotro if cabs seems expensive for you.

Hello Nairalanders, happy weekend;

I was discussing with my friend the previous night on some nearby African countries (esp. West African countries ) where one could spend the weekend and a friend suggested Gambia,with the little info I know about Gambia - A small West African country with less than 2.5 million people minding their business and living a simple life, lol, also it has nice beaches and tourist sites for fun seeking extroverts .


Well.... i thought,since it's a West African country and I have my passport, it's a zoom!.

I brought this here to know if I will be needing any other minor documents like medical reports etc,also to likely meet Nigerians in Gambia on this forum and to meet other interested or intending travelers like me.


I will be going by road tho and plan to spend just few days.

I will appreciate information about best route, safer transport company, currency changing unit,
security measures, etc

Information(s) ,experiences,warnings,pros and cons shared would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in anticipation.

The country is also known as "The Gambia"

Has anybody heard of the SG Arrival Card?

A visa agent contracted to help one of my friends obtain Singapore visa sent him a SG arrival card. He is insisting that the SG Arrival card is all needs to enter Singapore. I have my doubts. I think he still needs a valid Singapore visa.

Anybody with useful information should please enlighten us.

No need to apologize. Btw I wasnt schooling you, I thought you were confused as to why I needed a residence permit for a short stay, So I wanted to let you know that what I actually needed was a short term residence permit.

evergreen9:


There are different types of resident permit bro, there's the one for short stay (temporary resident permit) and then there's the one for long term stay.

evergreen9:
Hey guys, I am interested in visiting Benin republic, Cotonou precisely for a short holiday, are there fellow Nigerians here who are currently in Benin republic or who have been before? I would like to know what the experience was like.

I would like to visit Ghana, Senegal and Gambia but I would rather start with the closest nation which is Benin republic. I would like to know about the process of visiting and also what it cost to get a resident permit.

Thank you so much this will go a long way I appreciate
