What @Nuel80 said is very correct.
Many people who are so desperate to travel out fall prey to those hungry predators.
Before you give your money to any agent, make sure you confirm his genuineness.
If you must do a visa with any agent you met on the internet, he shouldn't collect any money from you until the visa is issued.

These days, rate of visa denial at the Turkish embassy is so high.

But I must say that the embassy now has a way of checking fake bank statements and forged documents. But it's still a top secret, so they will collect your application and deny you visa.

Since my three clients were denied visas in March, I learnt the hard way and all my clients have been getting approvals both for embassy submission (biometrics) and non appeareance.

In my next post, I will drop ideas on how to ensure that your visas are not denied.

To me, I think everyone has a reason for traveling. Your reason might not be another person's reason. It's quite understanding that there is no job in Turkey coupled with the fact that it's purely a core Muslim country. But the truth is that it's also a country filled with opportunities. You have to stay in Turkey for few months, travel around, learn the language before you can grab the opportunities.
Let's take for instance, Turkey is leading in clothing material world wide. You can get a few cloth sellers in Nigeria before coming here. You can buy things for them and get your commission. You can establish a clothing line as well. You can also teach English, you can work online or remotely even in USA while you are in Turkey. You can go into money exchange, you can buy used stuffs and send to Naija, you can buy building materials, POP, beddings, kitchen sets, security doors and gates, food items etc and send to Nigeria. You can also send a lot of things to Turkey from Nigeria. If you go into restaurant business, you can make money as well. There are a million opportunities here just that you have to study the place first before you can fit in.

If you need more insights or what you can do to survive here, just hit me up.

Best of luck guys.

JeksNelius:
Congrats to your brother for the acceptance letter he got from Istanbul Okan University. The school is very nice though one of the costly private Universities in Turkey. It is located in Tuzla (Asian side) a bit far from the bubbling part of Istanbul.

Hence you have booked an appointment, there is no other form you need to fill until your interview date. But make sure he authenticates his documents at the ministry of education and foreign affairs respectively before the interview date. You will need to notorize your guarantors letter as well.

Visa application is $145 (I advise you change your dollars before going) which includes both the application and insurance. You might need to also pay for DHL depending on your location.

The insurance is always at the embassy. It's usually done at the point of interview/documents submission/biometrics.

You can call me on +905352599276 (WhatsApp or call 24/7) in case you need an urgent assistance. I know how hot it could be when you don't have anyone to help you out at a critical point.

Goodluck to your brother.

Please be calming down, leave people with their choice, people still travel to worst countries that turkey is 100% better than, My question to you is that, which country is better than Turkey in the whole of Africa?

Are people not still rushing to South Africa ?

Nor go dey eat panadol for another person headache, the fact you don't like Turkey doesn't mean we all we hate it as well.

stelor:
Thank you very much Bro, you are kind for coming to my rescue, I was curious, you know in some embassies, you have to fill visa application form online first, then print it out then take them to the embassy on the day of submission, that's why i asked the question.

Also, the documents the school sent to him via email, he is to print everything out in colored and go with it to the embassy right?

Lastly, does the school have to send any hard copy of the document ?

feelgoodstuffs:


Brother this is not entirely true, few people that can make it there is people who went with a large capital I’m talking about like 10million naira or above. Some of the things you mentioned like getting a cloth seller and earning commission that is what almost every Nigerian are doing there (because they are too big to do Shabu shabu” factory job) and I can bet you is not easy and the commission is very low, even the Turkish people are connecting to the seller directly in different African countries they don’t want middlemen, another point you mentioned “teaching English is not like before, there a lot of other nationalities (same color like them e.g Pakistanis, Indians, Algerians, Angola, Egypt, etc in Turkey that they would prefer to teach their kids than “Blacks”. Money exchange is not really profitable too. The only thing I can agree with you is importing building materials, POP, security doors, beddings, kitchen sets, but it requires a lot of money like I said earlier.

Bro can you show me how many rich Nigerians are in Turkey that made their money legally? I mean those that started from scratch.
Why I asked you this question is that I’ve met with people living in Turkey for over 10years and what they are still doing is errand boy for the Turkish people, some of them call themselves house agents

JeksNelius:
Bro, all you need is to change your mindset. Turkey is like every other country, there are lots of opportunities but you have to widen your eyes before you see them. There are the good and bad sides of every country. I know of a boy that came here with nothing. He lived in my apartment for few months. He started the çabük çabük (quick quick) work the same month he came. After two months he bought over 500kg worth of clothes and bags from street sellers and sent it to Nigeria. His sister sold it and he made over a million naira from it. He continued like that till now, he buys 40ft container of POP. This guy is not up to a year in Turkey yet. I also have testimonies from the people I know here who are doing well in their jobs legitimately.
Like I said earlier, before you come to Turkey, review these:
1) Make sure you have contacts of successful people here in Turkey. These people will put you through what's going on in the country, business wise, job wise and other wises, lol.
2) Make black friends as well as white friends. The blacks (no matter the country) have same hustling spirit while the white friends will put you through on the white side of life, lol.
3) Learn the language so that you can communicate effectively. One secret is that the Turks have undiluted love for any black that speaks their language. The Somalis work in some of their big firms because they learn the language and stick to job search and they get it.
4) Hustle!!! Some people come here to enjoy steady light, unlimited internet, good social and basic amenities while forgetting where they came from. After one year when their eyes open, they will start saying Turkey is dry, a 'no go area' etc. Even after one year, they don't even know 'gel ve git' (come and go) in Turkish.

I initially don’t want to reply your comment anymore and leave people to go see for themselves but concerning that boy you made mention… that is a BIG FAT LIE, you have a sugarcoated mouth bro, I’m very sure you’re a traveling agent, this is how you guys sound. Ok you said the guy did çabuk çabuk (quick quick) for 2months and bought 500kg worth of clothes and send to his sister and made over a million under two months?? Haba!!! My brother fear God na. How much do they pay a first timer for çabuk çabuk work (2,200 Turkish Lira) that is like 130,000 naira monthly. Are you telling me the guy didn’t pay rent, electricity, gas, water, internet bills, transportation and no food? (These are the expenses that eats up your income) Unless he came in with money, that is NOT POSSIBLE my brother.

JeksNelius:
Bros, you have to be calming down, lol. I can see the frustration and disappointment in your writing.

Like I said earlier, Turkey is not for everyone. And I had also mentioned 4 basic things you need for you to survive in Turkey. And from the way you have been sounding here, you didn't meet any that's why it became difficult for you.

Yes I am a travel agent, and I was the one that did every visa stuffs for the guy in question. I only met him here on nairaland, we never knew each other. I accommodated him in my apartment for two months, he only paid for internet, light and water bills. I am not supposed to say all these here but for the sake of clarity. There are these Turkish guys that sell packet shirts for men and ladies on the streets and on top of padestrain bridges at nights. They normally sell 3Lira per shirt or 2 for 5Lira. But what blacks do is to price the entire goods at once and buy it up. You might end up buying then for 2Lira each. These shirts worth over 1500 naira each.

Like I still said, if you meet the right people, they will guide you to success. I got a quick quick job for him at Sultangazi where he was paid 2700Lira every month.

You shot yourself on the leg by saying that what I said is a fat lie. The truth is that you didn't meet anyone to guide when you were here, you didn't learn the language, you didn't search for jobs and maybe you were among the ones in the last group I mentioned in my previous comments.

Turkey is hard just like every other country but you must always device a means to survive. No country is a bed of roses.

First bolded: Not True. It looks like you don't know much about the country you are trying to sell. I have no problem with people saying all sort of good stuffs to help their minsistry, but ignoring the negatives or only touching them superficially is wickedness. Either you present details of both sides or you don't. Surely we must survive, but it's rather selfish sometimes. It could ruin their lives.

Second bolded: It's not as easy as you make it seem. Getting English teaching Jobs is difficult and Job Security is usually not assured, even with TEFL certificate, and you are probably in trouble if you don't. In fact we know a lot of schools ceremoniously refuse to pay the foreign teachers, and you wouldn't be able to do much about it, since you probably cannot navigate their legal system and probably don't have a work permit. And then their issues of knowing the language, as would be preferred at some language institutions. This is what you all do with your sweet talk, drawing Yahoo boy or potential yahoo boys, some of which have tarnished the reputation of Nigerians-in which case some of their banks will never open an account for Nigerians. We might never be able to fully tap into the benefit the system offers becos of this. Most Nigerians that are considering moving to Turkey do not have capital, so turning yourself into an intermediary between clothing factories and retailers in Nigeria is not that easy. There are issues like, are you going to live in Turkey? How many customers do you have? (I don't want to talk about how difficult it is to get a customer base). How often will they order? I mean it's not as if they would have been out of stock by the end of the month, so in that case, how will you survive here?

Third bolded: That's easy to say only to get here and realize that o boy, there are all sorts of hoops i have to jump through along the way.

Fourth bolded: Are you kidding me? Restaurant business. You consider this something you should mention in a country where the English is not the predominant language? And you even thought to tell people that within a few months you should know the language well enough to access the opportunities. Very misleading and ruinous. Very very shallow description. I am trying very hard not to insult you here. Do the needful.
