Why should the Nigerian visa be easy to get for American and European visitors? Do these people expect us to dash them our own visa? Are their own visas easy to get for Nigerians? What is this woman talking about, sef?

i just hope our economy gets better and the nigerian naira become as valuable as the dollar or euro and other world currencies , at that level our
visa would have value.

i wait for the day people will be begging to come to Nigeria because the economy is great and the country beautiful.

It's even harder to a work permit work for Nigeria.

Thing May not be working well in Nigeria currently and most Nigerians may be finding their way out of the country , An American Lady recently obtained visa to Nigeria and informed others it's not easy getting a visa to Nigeria, the lady who gave lectures to other americans told them to apply in advance as it took 1 month to get her visa. I wonder what will happen if the Nigerian Economy becomes stronger and the naira becomes more valuable. To all those say getting a visa to Nigeria is easy, why not apply for a visa with another passport and see what will happen to you.

You may see no go in Nigeria, but some people are also desperate to remain in Nigeria.

I still dont know why people lie about what they dont know . just to blog. naija visa that my hungarian friend got in 2 days without any stress is hard. say something else.

Lie? Well I have no reasons to lie, during the tenure of OBJ in one of his chats with the public in a forum ONE MAJOR ISSUE the foreingners complained about was the difficulty in getting a visa into Nigeria, that aside , your friend maybe lucky on that one but if you do your research well you will see that alot of people talk about this issue, do you know why many Nigerian living overseas prefer to go to Nigeria to renew their passport rather than at the Nigerian embassy? Because it's takes up 4- 6 months to get your passport renewed at the embassy, Nothings works well in Nigeria and at the embassy, brother try and visit the embassy in London and you see for yourself? Am not lair and i feel it's better you don't jump to conclusions over people when they have a different view or don't agree to what you perceive to be the Truth . Regards.

Yes, its hard to visas into naija, its hard to believe but it's a fact, even thought it maybe due to incompetence, but it's Hard.

China

Chinese Embassies are getting increasingly strict when it comes to visa applications. The Embassy will require a long list of documents including flights in and out of China and a hotel booking confirmation for every night of your stay.

If you're planning to stay for 30 days or less, they'll generally issue your visa without any problems. But for stays longer than that (and/or if you're visiting sensitive areas like Western China), you'll also need to provide a detailed day by day itinerary of your trip.You can only apply for this visa in your country of citizenship or permanent residence. And in many of their application centres (including the UK), applications can only be submitted by appointment. Plan early, as the next available appointment could be a few weeks away.

Iran

Iran visas have never been straightforward, but the process is now harder than ever. Before you start thinking about your visa application, you'll need to get an authorisation code. This is really a pre-approval of your visa by Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), but it can take up to a month to get – and has to be applied for by an official Iranian travel agency If you are from the UK, Canada or US, you'll need to hire an MFA-approved guide for your trip and provide their details when you apply for your visa. Once you have your authorisation code, Iran now requires all visa applicants to apply at an Iranian Embassy in person and submit biometric data. With no Iranian Consulate in London for the timebeing, that's quite a challenge if you're living in the UK.
Ladies, don't forget to wear a headcover in your passport photo; if you don't, your application will be rejected.

Russia

By introducing biometric applications, Russia made getting a visa a good deal harder. You have to go in person and submit your fingerprints and facial image when you apply – and for obvious reasons no agency can help you to do this! You'll have to first find a visa centre or Embassy that will process your biometric application, and then secondly get yourself there and cross your fingers that the queue isn't too big that day.
Before you can start your visa application, you'll need to get a Letter of Invitation for Russia, which must be issued by a travel agency that's registered with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Be very careful filling out their online application form. One mistake – even a small one – can lead to delays or even rejection. Visa agencies like Visa Machine can help you with your invitation and application forms, so check them out if you feel you want a helping hand.

Turkmenistan

This country remains one of the most closed in the world. You can only get a tourist visa if you're joining a tour or have hired an individual guide and booked all of your hotels in advance Like Iran and Russia, you'll need your tour agency or guide to arrange a Letter of Invitation with the immigration authorities in Turkmenistan before you can get a visa. This takes two or three weeks and isn't guaranteed. After that, if your application isn't rejected, you can expect your visa application to take another two weeks.

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan has numerous public holidays, especially throughout the summer when Embassies and many of the immigration bodies will be closed for up to a week at a time. This can really slow down the process of getting a visa.There are a couple of tourist visa options: the standard tourist visa issued by the Embassy with a processing time of two and a half weeks; or an electronic visa issued by authorised agents of the Azeri Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a processing time of four to six weeks. Although the eVisa takes significantly longer, the application is done online, so there's no need to passport Once you've applied for your visa, there's no way of checking the status or influencing the processing times. So expect to hear absolutely nothing for a fairly long time – as if visa applications aren't stressful enough!

India

India has recently introduced an electronic E-visa as well as its standard tourist visa. Whichever you choose, the application form needs to be filled out online, and it's a rather long and often frustrating process.

On certain browsers, you won't be able to fill out your employment details, on others you might not be able to pay. And so on. All of the payments are processed by the Bank of India and if their system is down (which happened in January for a week) there's no alternative way of paying for your visa, which means it's impossible to apply for it.E-visas are occasionally rejected. If that happens, you'll then need to submit an application for a standard tourist visa at the Embassy. It's significantly more expensive and requires your passport to be submitted to the Embassy along with another application form and a few other documents.

Thailand

If you're from certain countries such as the UK, US, Canada, Australia, you can stay in Thailand for up to 30 days without a visa. But if you're planning to stay longer you'll need to apply for one. The application process isn't complicated if you are applying for a visa, However, if you want to travel in South East Asia and go in and out of Thailand more than once, the list of documents you require to submit with your application becomes endless. Amongst other documents, you'll need to provide flight tickets, an employment letter and bank statements for the last six months showing at least £5,000 in your account continuously.

Waiting times at the Embassy should also be noted. It can take a couple of hours to submit your application as the Embassy is exceptionally busy. It can then take the same amount of time to collect the passport once your visa's been issued. So you'll need to take a couple of days off work.

Chad

Though not necessarily a top destination, this is up there with the hardest-to-get-visas. For UK applicants, Chad's nearest Embassy is in Paris. Although they do accept postal applications, they have no standard processing times and you'll need to call them regularly to check if the application has been processed.However, they don't speak English at all, so you'll need to speak good French or know someone who does. The application form itself is also only available in French. You'll then need to arrange a courier to collect the passport from the Embassy, which can be tricky to coordinate. Allow at least 3 weeks for this application to be processed.

Nigeria

This visa requires a lot of paperwork. In addition to your hotel booking confirmation, you'll need to provide bank statements and a letter of employment. You'll also have to make three separate payments: the first to the Nigerian government (which is done online when you fill out your application form); the second to the Nigerian High Commission (which can be done only at the post office as a postal order); and the third to the visa application centre when your application However, you can't do this yourself because the Embassy doesn't deal with applicants directly. You'll have to use a visa company instead – but at least that takes the hassle off your hands!

Sudan

Although the visa process itself isn't very complicated, yet again, you'll be required to provide a Letter of Invitation approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sudan. This letter can take a month to get, so you need to plan well in advance.You'll need to apply for the letter via an authorised travel agent, but the majority of travel agencies in Sudan are very

.She told me and i quote for a nigerian passport holder you will need more time than you have sir.[/b][b].Now i was furious but then I'm Nigerian.[/quote]Meaning what, was the VO saying you will over stay your visa ?

I read the comments of the guy asking if he could buy transcript , please , let no one suggest such odious and preposterous idea here again. This thread as giving alot of people something to dream about and we should openly condemn any form of idiocy. Nigeria has enough bad reputation that has closed doors on we well meaning Nigerians. Let know one start an atitude that will close this door On Us.

it seems God don't want to answer my prayer regarding this issue cus have been praying about it for sometime now. Tnx for your input.

I believe u are a christian, remember that men ought always to pray and not to faint, again you may want to see a counsellor.

Prayer is the key if you are chrsitian , and be wise enof to submit ur self under her authority becos a mothers curse is always powerful. One day you will be free.

A woman has had her conviction upheld for reading her husband’s emails, in which she discovered details of various extramarital affairs.

The woman, who was not named in local Swiss media reports, was charged with unauthorised intrusion into her husband’s data after temptation got the better of her to log into a new email account he had created on their shared computer.

The couple shared many passwords and had noted some of them down next to the computer, the court heard, according to the Aargauer Zeitung newspaper.

“He had been in contact with several women for a long time. I confronted him with his affairs, and he moved out of our flat relatively quickly,” the unnamed woman from Aargau, in northern Switzerland, said in a court hearing.

“My trust in him was gone. We did not talk to each other anymore.”

The original charges were brought in February this year when she was convicted in Muri and handed a 9,900 franc (£7,500) fine, suspended on the condition of no further offences in the next two years, and a 4,300 franc (£3,250) fine to cover police costs.


The prosecutor said the woman intentionally and repeatedly invaded her husband’s account and downloaded material that was not her own.

The computer, an external hard drive and a USB stick were confiscated.

On appeal to a district court, the defence argued for the woman’s acquittal, saying that the defendant had not technically “hacked” into her husband’s account, given she already knew his password.

However, her search history revealed that she had checked beforehand whether it was an offence to read the emails, which, the prosecution argued, demonstrated her awareness of the potential illegality of her actions.

The court upheld the conviction on the grounds that reading password-protected data without the account owner’s permission is illegal under Article 145 of the Swiss criminal code and punishable with a fine or up to three years in prison.

Nonetheless, it significantly reduced the suspended financial penalty from 9,900 francs to 1,500 francs (£1,150) because the woman merely had to “exploit her husband’s carelessness” and thus exert “minimal criminal energy” to gain access to the information.

You still see hope in Nigeria?

You must be eternal optimist {goodluck with that}. Who has to die that wont cause an ethnic war?

having hope in Nigeria is not a hard thing to do, but its hard to see on what bases that hope is hinged on, when i look at our political leaders and the next generation trodden behind them with the same mind set, i must admit also that positive change is far from our horizon in Nigeria. when hope is based on nothing it dies out soon enough .

I HOPE BUHARI RUNS FOR 2019 SO HE CAN LOSE GALLANTLY AND SHAMEFULLY , HE HAS MADE PREPOSTEROUS DECISIONS THAT HAS PUSHED THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY INTO UTTER CATALEPSY . I PRAY SOMEONE WHO IS CAPABLE RISE TO CHALLENGE FOR THE POST IN 2019.

Nigeria . what a shame we lack what we should have. BUHARI BETTER NOT BLAME GEJ AGAIN

Oluwaseun67:
Guys,pls I want to ask,is it good if i go to a consultancy agency for all my application stuffs to germany or should I do it personally at a cyber cafe? And do these consultancy agencies charge heavy prices?

my own take on this is that you spend time searching and doing the hard work yourself, just by reading this thread and other past thread on studying in Germany you will become close to being a consultant your self, if you have any issues just come and express yourself here and those who know better are always available to help you out, because you will need every penny you can save , except you can afford it. thats my own advise sha .

Regards

It's being a long time coming. I had my visa interview

My interview transcript

After all the biometrics and the likes.
I was asked the following questions

Have you funded: I said no and she gave me a form to fill
Have you learnt German: I said no (a mistake I didn't know why I said so I have been learning with YouTube)
Did you contact the school and how?
Why this course?
Why Germany?
Why not UK/US or any other English country?
What do you intend to do after studies? Said come back to Nigeria. To do what?
How have you prepared for studies? Said I have started learning German with Learn German with Jenny on YouTube. She said she hasn't heard of that and likewise the lady behind her so I bet she wrote it down
How will you be accommodated?
What do you know about Germany?
Do you have relatives or friends in Europe or Germany?
Have you applied for schengen visa or traveled to Germany before?
That's all we will contact you be email.

All thanks to God for the grace I enjoyed because only him could have made the interview this simple and short without asking complicating questions. And special thanks to everyone that has developed this great community.

As I put other things in place, I officially await the arrival of the star email of the century 'In A. M matters...'

all the best. am happy for you.

This uni-assist people say their processing fee is 75 euros. How do i transfer the money, and i read i have do it via my bank and all that. is worth the trouble or do i just apply to schools directly and ignore does who use uni-assist . Guys advice pls

dailydolar:
guy just use any company address you can asses to collect your transcript thats what i did. When they send it then go and collect it from them simple

ok. thanks i have this in mind also

hostine316:
Tell them you want to have it at hand. I guess your school wants to send it directly to them in Germany. Beg them, tell them you wish to have it at hand and that you want to certify the photocopies and send to different schools yourself. I know it might he difficult because universities don't give original transcripts to students but with bribe, they should understand and release it to you..They will still have to address it to a school but beg them you have to collect it by hand since you are the owner..shalom

thanks. i will push it . i know GOD WILL make away for me. this one that lecturers and non academic staff are broke

anybody who sent transcript to schools in Germany please help, did the university in Nigeria include the name of the university in Germany on the transcript? becos the school is saying they want to know the address of the school and name. but am applying to many schools.

glucklichewelt:
Hi,

A simple Google search would have answered this question.

The formula is as shown below.

Your Gp in German scale should be around 2.4 which means you are good to go.

Shalom

THANKS ALOT BRO. I ALSO SEARCHED GOOGLE BUT I GUESS I DIDN'T PUT IN THE RIGHT KEY WORD

GR_TUM = 3 * [(GRmax - GRd) / (GRmax - GRmin)] + 1

GR_TUM = the GPA you're looking for, converted GPA (German/TUM system)
GRmax = highest possible grade in the non-German grading system, expressed in numbers
GRd = grade earned in the non-German grading system.
GRmin = lowest possible passing grade in the non-German grading system (i.e. the lowest possible grade that would still allow you to pass the course

An example is illustrated below:

GR_TUM = 3 * [(5 - 4,25) / (5 - 1)] + 1 = 3 * 0,75/4 + 1 = 0,562 + 1 = 1,562

--> one digit after the comma --> your "new" GPA (to use in the application form) would be 1,5

Please keep in mind: The German system recognizes grades from 1,0 (best)
to 4,0 (lowest possible passing grade) - so the result should be within this range.

THANKS ALOT BRO, I SEARCHED GOOGLE ALSO, I GUESS I DIDNT PUT IN THE RIGHT KEY WORD
