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.

Why are you interested in knowing How to obtain resident permit when you stated clearly that you just want to VISIT for SHORT HOLIDAY?

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

You are most welcome....

Please nairaland,I want to know how to travel from Ghana to Nigeria by road without any transport company.because their fair is getting out of hand and it's affecting business, please help a brother.

If you are in Accra, find your way to STC station in Tudu and board a bus to Aflao( the fare is Ghc28). When you alight at the STC Park in Aflao, you walk down to the border and stamp your passport out of Ghana and into Togo.

After border crossing, Just walk down to the car park right there on the Togo side of Aflao, you will see vehicles loading to Cotonou, Seme and Lagos. The Seme cars loads faster and the fare is 6000Cfa, you will alight at Hilla-Codji (Togo/ Benin border), cross on foot whiles the vehicle crosses to wait for you at the car park on the Benin side.( stamping of passport here has to do with your smartness. If you don't have a passport and yellow card, you pay 500cfa on both sides to immigration and 300cfa for yellow card).

From Hilla-codji you pass Cotonou and drive to Seme, Just pick a bike to cross you to the Nigeria side for #500 if you aren't stamping passport. I am sure you can find your way from Seme to your final destination in Lagos.
I hope this helps.....

Hello NL, I need to waybill some items to Jos from Lagos Iyana Ipaja precisely. Please where can I get a bus going to Jos in Iyana Ipaja and do you have an idea of how much they charge for waybill?
It's urgent, please

If it's to waybill items to Jos, then your best bet is to go to Bonny way transport at ijora. The buses moves in the evening and your items will be in Jos by noon next day. You can't get a direct bus from iyana ipaja. It's either you send through Abuja bound bus and you beg the driver to send from Abuja to jos for you since the fare from Abuja to jos is less than #1500.

[quote author=Cvesta post=77099408]Please shed more light on this . Requirements to get a PR in Ghana
Cc Gentlebullet . [/quote
Getting PR starts with application for work permit. The applicant will need to go pick up the application forms at the GIS headquarters,Accra. i will have to confirm the current fees and required documents from my folks in that section. it used to be $60 when i was at HQ and the documents required where either employment letter or business registration certificate, rent agreement and a reference letter from a citizen but things have changed since early this year.

Ugosample:
What you will need to process is a residence permit.

gentlebullet should have more info on this

Lol.... How is Abidjan Bro? i will be in town on 7th April for workshop....... if you will be in town lets relate (ezekiellabi35@gmail.com)
Concerning entry stamp extension for Gh... if it were few months back, it was easy walking into any Regional or District immigration office for extension to stay without any wahala and the fee is Ghc20 but since our brothers & sisters started misbehaving and the authorities now have interest in what every Nigerian is doing in the country, the vetting of the applicant isn't child play and processing RP comes with lots of documentation.
The easiest way to go about it now is few days to the expiration of the 60days, the person should board an Aflao bound bus, go to the immigration desk at the border to stamp-out of Ghana then stamp-in at the Togo side, go do some sightseeing at the Beach side in Lome and window shopping at the Lome market for an hour or two then return to the border to stamp-out of Togo and then Stamp-in to Ghana for another 60days, go to the bus park and return to Accra.
This will ease the stress of going to answer plenty questions at the immigration office especially if the person is a youth.
the financial implication won't be more than Ghc100(Tfare Ghc60 to & fro, Ghc10 each at the immigration desks).

Hadampson:

Hello Nairalanders!

I travel to Nigeria bi-monthly and will be embarking on another trip the week of July 9th. If you want to shop online for things or need a personal shopper for in-store shopping and need reliable means to receive your goods in Nigeria or you need some goods from Nigeria in the US. Contact me via +16148227263 (Whatsapp ONLY)

Hello, I got your PM you can reach me via email: ezekiellabi35@gmail.com or via call and SMS on +233570455319.

harlee:
OK sir,I haven't gotten the pm yet,but here is my mail alisamuel177@gmail.com, pls do send me a mail sir,I intend moving this month ending or latest early next month. thanks sir and God bless

Will give you an head up. You are most welcome, God bless you too.

harlee:
hello sir,how are you doing and fams? I just pm you sir,was discussing with my older brother abt my trip and he asked a question and I'd need ur help on that sir,should I travel to Lome source for the goods then head to Accra, or after sourcing return to Lagos before coming to Accra?

Hi bro, replied your PM already.
Since you said you have a place to stay already and your time and resources are limited, you can source your goods in Lome on your way to Accra then you just hit the hustle rolling once you enter Gh.
You can reduce cost by making the Lagos - Lome trip short-short (I mean cross seme border on foot and stamp your passport on both naija and Benin side, take seme to Aflao car and drop in Lome to do the buying) then you locate either Efex or GUO motor office in Lome to take you and your goods to Accra so they can help you sort CEPS at both Aflao, Dabala and Sogakope custom check.

Bracha:
Hello,

Please when will you be embarking on this road trip? and how much would it cost if one wants to join?

Thank you.

Hi,
the exact dates not fixed yet(but it will definitely be July/August).
i am still doing proper on-site fact findings on comfortable & not expensive hotels for accommodation in each of the cities we will be holidaying and also picking out tourist sites and fun places.
i am kinda busy with work at the moment but will get all done latest by the Easter break and then come out with the final schedule, cost and requirements. Thank You for your interest, will get you posted.

harlee:
I really want to appreciate u for this eye opening idea,God bless you.I'll quote u when am set(real soon by Gods grace)

You are most welcome Bro. God will come through for you.CHEERS

Continue to thrive in Wisdom in Jesus name. I'm a Ghana living in Ghana and I believe I can benefit from your wise counsel. Pls share your email let me contact you.

Bless

Amen and you too Bro. you can PM me

harlee:
thanks once again sir,I believe in growth and expansion, my plan is to source for the goods from Lome( making enquiries already), then travel to Accra during which I'd run the buiness within the 60days stamp i got at the border cos I don't intend to permanently stay in Ghana at least not now.but I would never stay in Ghana illegally. I have a course I attend to in Lagos but only requires my presence from Aug to Nov every year till am done.can I not do it this way sir.

Nice and good plan! give me an head ups here whenever you get into Ghana. CHEERS

Hadampson:
Boss, na you dey talk like this. I only shared this post just to get over my boredom.

If na Ibrahimovic303 or AngelicBeing, dem go sabi say hadampson dey play.. I'm just having fun bro

Wow.. I didn't know people are following me back to back. You know almost everything about me.

Na so? honestly i was pissed when i saw the thread but i had a rethink when i saw that it was culled from another site and that was why i just drop those bars like i was doing a remix track
Nothing do you... las las you go migrate by God's grace! infact go get your Passport ready if you still dey naija for late july/ early august wey i wan launch my 1st ECOWAS road trip tour adventure outfit (from Lagos - Port novo - Cotonou - Lome - Accra - Cape Coast - Takoradi - Abidjan - back to Lagos), You have a FREE seat in the minivan and your accommodation 50% footed too. it will be a 10-day fun packed road trip for 6 participants + driver/tour guide(who happens to be my very self). So na 5 participant go remain now! CHEERS

PM for head ups........

harlee:
hello sir,I pray for you,may God continue to bless you.you and your advice is really what I need.even my mom prays for you.I Will heed to ur advice. On the issue of documentation, I have my passport and will get the yellow card ready,a friend told me that upon my arrival at the immigration check point, I'll be give about 60 to 90days stay.is this true and is that what I need to avoid police issue?I really don't like wahala and want to be law abiding.thanks once more and my regards to ma'am.

Amen and God Bless You and your Mum too. You will be stamped 60days as a Nigerian at Aflao border and the stamp is in 2 column one column will state the date of entry and the name of the border post eg " immigration officer 15 MAR 2019 DISEMBARKED AFLAO BORDER POST " then the 2nd column will be "leave to enter Ghana for 60 days EMPLOYMENT PROHIBITED " don't be alarmed. all you need to do is to apply for residence permit as you start selling(better you apply at regional immigration offices like cape coast than GIS headquarters in accra), i can assure you that if you make the campuses as your selling points you won't have issues with the authorities till you get your RP cos the students are familiar with nigerian students who are their course mates and vibe on the campus. i stopped assisting naija guys getting documented in Ghana since one guy almost got me interdicted from my job side few yrs back. all i can do now is put you through the process and direct you where and which office to enter. IT IS WELL
