Hello. Acknowledge the prepaid card. That the new policy. When you get to your destination, you can withdraw 'only' in the local currency of that country. Whether or not you receive cash of 500usd, make sure you withdraw all monies and convert to usd or pounds (If the purpose is business or travel oriented) But from encounter of others, i can write that you are assured on withdrawals on the prepaid card if the bank does the right thing. Goodluck. RipVanWink: Exactly, the bank people said so too I have gone to the bank, UBA, they said the money will be paid into their prepaid card and not my dom acct as i filled in the form.
So i paid for and was issued a uba prepaid card.also funded my naira acct with the naira equivalent of the pta value.... I stumbled on somewhere someone said you need to write a debit authorization letter....i wasnt told that at the bank...and i saw that after i had left the bank to ask them. The bank people said am to wait, that i would be notified again when its ready... My concern is what if all these delays spills over and i t ravel...will the process still continue and they pay the money into my card/acct in my absence? |

As an international traveler wey wise, when you are traveling carry yellow card, covid card , and other travel documents. No traveler control the affairs at the international airport, so it is expected they come with new policies everyday especially in Nigeria. You can not take chances, carry everything carriable. Put them in a clear bag/envelope. wahala for airport too dey plentyThegamingorca: Yeah I luckily travelled to the UK with it. Na so I for dey stranded on top COVID.
Hmmph. It no go better for naija sha. No one tested for Jack shit at the arrival Terminal in Nigeria. I was just asked if I had the card and qr code. What was now the point to filling the form and showing the green card at Heathrow and Hamad international as well?
After the UK relaxed restrictions I thought the Nigerian government reciprocated the gesture.
Please if you are traveling to anywhere outside Nigeria carry your covid card along as you will need it when coming back.  |

Thegamingorca: I got a rude awakening at Heathrow yesternight at the self service boarding pass machines. The Qatar staff who was supposed to login to the machine so I can print ticket, was looking to fleece me off a few bucks in return for help with registering on the naija site. The last time I was met with such shadiness was at kotaka airport last year with an airpeace worker.
Omoh all female air hostesses wherever dey be, whether African or sand niggas, have criminality running in their veins. Luckily the naija site processed the barcode for me sharp sharp and sent it to my mail |

Thegamingorca: When returning to Nigeria from the UK, does one need any covid clearance or registration on a website for those that have been double vaccinated? Updated: Not sure, but i strongly advise you get a covid 19 vaccine card. You can be asked by Port Health to present it for scanning( their is a bar code attached to it below) on your arrival in Nigeria. In general, anyone with frequent travel in/out of Nigeria is advised to get the vaccine card. I have attached a specimen.

Just ensure your business status on the CAC registry is active by filing your annual returns to the commission (The second document given to you other than the certificate after CAC registration is the STATUS REPORT... It carries details of the proprietor and the business).[/quote] |

Umegoejiofor: Please what do you mean by status report?I believe the reference letter is from bank, and please what you mean by updating documents for business person?. FirsteBank: - Cover letter - CAC documents and status report - Status report is a document showing that your company is active and in existence. You can request for it via the platform , or you attach your ctc(certified true copies) forms which shows the status of your company as active. Can only be issued by the Corporate Affairs Commission. - Recent annual returns - Lirs Tax card - family pictures - Bank statements for business and personal accounts. - receipts , invoices and LPO - Other income documents - gtb and fidelity reference letters ( You can request for this one inside the banks) Just tell them you want reference letter, and give them the information to use. see customer care- Family pictures - Marriage Certificate - Property documents (deeds and survey) - Birth certificate (of the baby) - Hotel Booking - proof of residence |

If possible, submit receipt for anything you purchase. Sometimes, i read things like "it is not necessary to submit this and that". People that even with complete documents and genuine reasons, they will still come up with one thing or the other. Ecos want evidence. Do what you have to prove to them that you are a genuine visitor. Do not leave any document behind. Above all, Just like he said, Prayer is the master key. Dedicate everything God. advanceDNA: Its not fair how these people treat us....one has to expose his entire life just because of small holiday |

I am not against it. I wrote in plain terms and gave reasons for her possible use of agent as a first timer. She is here now, hopefully she can learn a thing or two . Goodluck to her. Thegamingorca: She can apply for the visa herself as hundreds of others on this page have done and gotten before her. |

It is ok to use an agent for visa applications. It is not all visa applications you can do on your own, I am sure you know that. The issue is, most agent do not take their time to do good research and fact checking on client documents. That is the challenge i notice most agent have, could be, as a result of overwhelming applications they received. However, I support the idea of she applying on her own if she is well informed about visa applications, this process requires a lot of guidance, it is not something you can just hop on UKVI website and start on your own( Gurus will understand). We have also seen cases where some persons applied themselves severally, and didn't get visas, until they used an agent and got it. It is quite complicated, especially when we all know agent are not the ones to stamp vignette. The decision maker is at the consulate. So let us not trade blames, but help her out to find a solution. We are all problem solvers here, let guide her through her re application process. Thank you. mommatriplets: ok, there are so many factors which we dont know. the 1.8m that is your closing balance, is your acct clean?...ie regular inflow and outflow??
2ndly, your friend that sent you invititation letter, did they include their rent receipts?, is the accomodation suitable enough to accomodate you?. whats the status of the friend inviting you??---the visa officer disregarded everything and homed in on your finances, perhaps sopmething isnt adding up. na only u and the agent know that one..
Lastly, this nigerian behaviour of mental indolence/not willing to understand how anything works, but relaxes and leaves serious matters in the hands of outsider who has no stake, agent gets paid whether or not you succeed...is not a good behaviour, i call it mental laziness. for a serious and willing person, just reading 5 to 15 pages of this thread is enough to give you the information needed to apply for your own visa youself! , but no, people will run to agent..and when it doesnt work will turn around to say--they dont know what the agent did.

Joy49101: yes my first time. Thanks alot You welcome. Going by what is detailed in the letter, i think you had issues with your finance and the whole thing just got misplaced somehow and got eco confused. I have said several times here, that, these people are just ordinary people like us and in as much as we try to finetune our applications, we should also be weary of figures and details, as they are arranged and placed. This is what most eco's base their judgement on. Having said that, you can retrace your steps and do the needful, hopefully, you get granted clearance on your next application. If you need more information, be sure to get assisted here. Goodluck. |

Thank you and Yes you are correct, if he goes there, an accredited agent would be the one to file if he is referred. So, Dear Enquirer, You have read some substantial information's , Please do the needful as advised. Kajolplus: You are on point but all physical CAC offices in Nigeria will not fix the INACTIVE status. They will only direct him to meet an agent or give him contact of an agent who does the job.
INACTIVE status is ONLY done in CAC headquarters, Abuja through accredited agent.
Accredited agent makes payment and notify (with proof of payment) appropriate unit at headquarters to change from INACTIVE to ACTIVE status. |

I think it is important to communicate or give verified responses. Only accredited agents E.g Lawyers and , Accountants or selected persons with access can fix inactive to active. So, you can follow the advise to go Cac office at Jobi Fele or the one on the island to fix if you are resident in Lagos, or consult an accredited agent. YOU CAN NOT DO IT YOURSELF, it falls under Post Incorporation, it is only Pre - incorporation, you can handle on your own. Be guided As you can see in the attachment, creation of post incorporation account is for accredited agents only. Ashirioluwa: Someone told me that I can’t do it by myself. He said I will need accredited CAC agent to do it. I don’t know how true this information is

You can even decide to add it with first name and put space. For instance , First name: Shade, Middle name: Thomas, Surname: Adekunle. You can use as First name : Shade Thomas Surname: Adekunle. This is what i see some people do and it is usually acknowledged. Still, giselle237 option is a great idea.
