Travel / Re: CBN Restricts Use Of Naira Denominated Cards Abroad by oljacobs: 9:26pm On Jul 07, 2015
Please explain? How does it damage the Naira? All the CBN has done is to request that all banks report on use of Naira Mastercard abroad and demand that Corporate customers buy BTA i.e. Get show evidence of what the forex will be used for before the bank sells to them.

nwaenugu:


Nigerians are so mypoic its unbelievable. This policy will dmaage the naira, and worse, the entire Nigerian economy in the long run.
Travel / Re: CBN Restricts Use Of Naira Denominated Cards Abroad by oljacobs: 9:19pm On Jul 07, 2015
The policy is to prohibit use of Naira dominated cards abroad on CORPORATE ACCOUNTS and to encourage use of BTA, dollar dominated cards or cards linked to Dom account.

Travel / Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by oljacobs: 8:36pm On May 02, 2015
You can actually get an earlier interview date at the discretion of the embassy. Just use the feedback/contact from the appointment booking portal to humbly request an earlier/ specific date stating your genuine reasons and I am sure they will oblige. I have done that before and it worked. We were travelling as a group and got different dates. We got them to bring appointment s forward. All the best.

SAkale:
We booked the date like that....can it be changed? As pa brought closer? Still waiting for your response on accommodation dear.

Why not apply for both in the USA? I wouldn't know if a baby's fingerprint would also be needed, because it's all biometric now.
NB: I would advice you physically speak to the Nigerian High Commission on the phone, for better clarifications and heads up .

I have called the High commission severally but it is all recorded message and didnt get a chance to speak to anyone there

what exactly is making it difficult? is it your mastercard? you must register that card with INNOVATE before you can make payments for visa with it. the application for visa is handled by INNOVATE for naija immigration. pls it is a very easy process, just tell me what is making it difficult then i break down the steps for you. very easy to go by.....

I tried the INNOVATE site and it was taking long and timing out. Maybe I will just try again.

I thought there is another option of money order?

Can you please guide me through the process of visa application.

Thank you

Hello House,

Please House, I need advice on how to apply for Nigerian visa for a Newborn in the US (Will get the passport in Nigeria).

I have looked at the Nigerian Immigration website and there is a link to a website where you can apply online and make payments online. I have tried this website but it hasnt been a smooth ride. I also hear you can apply by post, fill paper application and send money order.

I would like to make the application within the week please. Any advice will be appreciated

Please advice.

Travel / Re: Any Info About Student Life In Ukraine? by oljacobs: 3:37pm On Oct 01, 2011
Hi all!

Can anyone advice on the proceedure for getting a student visa in the Ukraine Embassy in Abuja? My younger ones have been making attempts to submit thier visa application for over a week and after long queues each day, they are turned back only to come back again as early as 5 am the next day. Thier story has been that the embassy is not giving any information and not collecting new applications and they have to check each day whether they will start collecting.

I would like to hear from anyone who understands the process as it is gettting unusually long and I have a feeling they may be doing something wrong.

@Omo_Tier1: Tnx! I will apply for 6 months. My bank statement is intact and shows deposits from monthly deposits. I also keep a seperate account where I have some good savings.

I never violated any visa requirements at any point during my stay.

Tnx again. I will endeavour to put in my application this week.

You canĀ“t ask for a visa as a tourist for 6 month to 2y, either you have to ask for a students visa or working or family. Visitors visa is something for short trips max. 3 month usually, check http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/ and think about what you want to do there. Anyway hotels are terrible in GB, I would try to get a place as a "paying guest" in a private household.

Many thanks for your input. I plan to stay 2 weeks max, why I want a 2 yr multiple entry visa is so I dont have to apply again next year. As per accomodation, that is not an issue. I have a place to stay.

FAMILY VISIT OR TOURIST VISA?

Hello house. I plan to make an application for a visiting visa but I am unsure of way to go as I have never applied for a visiting visa though i studied and lived in the UK for some 7 years and I last traveled to the UK about 5 years ago.

I have a good job, have some decent savings and wanna make a trip to the UK.

Should I make an hotel booking, write itenery etc and apply for a tourist visa or simply get a letter of invitation from family in the UK?

Which is better of the two options? Please advice.

Should I apply for a 6 month or 2 yr visa?

Tnx

I have been made to believe that IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GET GENUINE CUSTOMS PAPERS FROM COTONOU except for cars shipped through Lagos ports.

If this is true, that means if I opt for a cotonou imported car, I run the risk of it being seized if I travel with it within the first year of purchase.

Tokunbo dealers in the house, please advice.

I recently moved to Lagos from Abuja and I have been looking for a decent swimming pool where I can swim but this task has been proving difficul. NL, please help.

I used to swim at Nicon Luxury in Abuja. The pool is very clean and big enough. The atmosphere is just lovely. There is an outside live band and you can order drinks and food at the pool side.

I have visited a few "nice hotels" in VI but thier pool is only for lodgers.

I think i would say i don't generally mix business with pleasure. Abi? Since such relatonships would have an adverse effects on my ability to concentrate on the job. Hope i got that right and won't lose the job based on that. HR people in the house, over to you. undecided

I think the interviewer was just trying to lighten your mood. In my own case i would have answered jokingly as well saying: "If dating you would get me the job, then I'll consider it."
