This is total madness. What are they smoking?

But pls don't think of going into production presently with the present Nigeria situation , instead U can lease it out for any big manufacturing company then, then sign ur agreement with them till when things balance back in Nigeria.

Life is both a journey and a process. If you are well beyond some landmarks and busy asking some who have not started the journey how to continue with your navigation then, something is wrong with you.
How do you justify a final year student in the Uni. asking a primary 3 pupil how to prepare for his semester exam?

ppogba:
You have the resources to build a warehouse.

You have the resources to go into manufacturing.

And you now come to Nairaland asking what to do. A platform populated by youths that are still being fed.

With all due respect sir, why not ask for a brain first.

Sorry sir if I sound rude.

@hunee. Thank you
@Africakel please I assist with the link. Thank you, Sirs

Africankel:
Lol. I used Intercape, those people slow die. I'm travelling by Easter.

Africankel:
It's actually more than 4 hours. I think I left JHB by 10:30am and arrived Gaborone by 7pm. They have speed limits so the travel time is longer than what Google map says.

There's really nothing to see in the capital. Those interested in wild life will have to drive 13 - 15 hours up north to Karsana, it is amazing!!!

Africankel:
There's no fixed validity. But single entry has a maximum validity of one month, and three months for multiple. I paid for multiple entry the last time but was only given two weeks to enter (I was stamped in at the border for 5 days, coz that's how long I told them I was staying), But you cannot stay beyond 30 days.

This time I paid for single entry, but told the Consular to give me a minimum of one month to enter Bots (unlike the two weeks I got before), we'd actually become friends.

The visa is not sticker, just a stamp, same with Namibia and Jamaica.

Address is Oguta Lake, Maitama. I can't remember the house number.

Africankel:
I'm actually not a fan of eVisa, thus have little or no knowledge how it works, @hunee can help in this regard. But since your travel date is in May, you should apply for a sticker visa as you have ample time to get it approved.

Africankel:
The Embassy is Abuja, little or no information on the Internet. But here's their telephone number:- 07034103830

Application is fairly straightforward... Basic visa documents. Hotel, flight, 6 months statement, evidence of work, two passport photos, itinerary (very important), introduction letter. Visa fee is 10k+ for single entry, 16k+ for multiple - they however advise that as a tourist, always apply for single entry, coz they don't see why a tourist needs a multiple entry visa.

We both applied for Visitors Visa. I am guessing because her travel history is extensive and she has plenty active visas on her passport( US 5years, Canada 10 years, UK 10 years.

Mzyetty:
Guys please help me. What can I do?

I submitted my application to VFS on the 1st of February and I am yet to get my passport or visa. Travel date is on the 8th of March. I'm supposed to be in Cape Town for an event on the 11th and then return on the 15th.

I applied with my boss and she got hers within 10days, 1 year visa and mine is still pending.

Please is there a number or email address I can call or send message to?

please help guys.

Africankel:
Ayo, them don call me yesterday to bring passport for my January application. Hopefully I go receive my passport back today or tomorrow.

Marcgrace:
Hello, has anyone had an experience with France visa refusals due to previously unused visa ?

In 2023, I got a one month France visa but I wasn't able to travel. After then my France visas have been refused based on, "There are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the visa expires".
Although I have been to France once on a 3 month multiple visa of which I stayed only a month and returned back.

I do not understand why my visa refusals are based on reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the visa expires while I have already had France visas twice ?

Milito:
BLS is not efficient. The place is like a local govt office. They too usually hoards appointments.

Marshall6:
@hunee. Please I need a response to this. Anyone who could assist with this too, please do

antobogdan:
@hunee. Oh please, stop with the nonsense.
They have "quotas"? So you admit they take the money from the applicants and give decisions arbitrarily, regardless if the conditions are met or not?
And you dare to defend them and call me "unprofessional/unethical" for exposing these fraudsters?
Come on, have some decency, or do you work for them?
Please do not mislead people, this EVISA system is anomalous, it is a bad joke. It is better to be avoided all the time.
The employees that revise these applications are either incompetent or plain bad-intentioned.
I have heard that for some countries there is no tax, well in that case it may be worth applying, but only if one has many months before the actual trip, and do not put any hope in their fairness. Anyway they approve/reject them on totally arbitrary basis., just like at the lottery. So, if one wants to test their luck, they can apply.
For the ones that are required to pay the visa fee, pay with Wise and if the rejection is absurd, first contact DHA, and then file for a chargeback with Wise. My chargeback case was approved in under a day, but of course i sent them a 45 page pdf proving that i met all the conditions, they absurdly rejected and even had an unprofessional attitude.

As for me, i clearly said i do not apply again ever to this stupid eVisa system. I have two options: either apply at the nearest consulate, or just cancel the tickets. IT seems luck is on my side, because i have received recently a schedule change from the airline and i can get a full refund. Maybe that is the best idea. And i will choose another country that respects its visitors. These idiots from SA behave like they do the visitors a favor by granting them a VISA. When the visitors just come to spend their money in that failed country with a rate of criminality among the highest in the world, you have to "watch your back" every moment...Isn't it ridiculous? A joke of a country where people live in average just 50 years...
Anyway, i just wanted to visit Cape Town for only 7 days, and in the winter...it was not even the best time, so i can simply cancel the tickets and go to beautiful Namibia instead, a country that is much more safe and you are not treated like a piece of dirt from the street by the retarded coruupt authorities like in SA. And visa is on arrival.
Well, i do not want to get too long, but, beware, these guys from eVisa department are totally unprofessional, do not apply there for eVisa, just go to consulate or VFS.

@hunee. What's the process, stop supporting what's not right
