To get a cheaper ticket depends on the timing and luck. You can pay for your ticket in naira. They are quite expensive. Try wakanow( you can also make payment instalments) which l did too. The earlier the better.

Thank you

Thanks a lot! Please do you mind sharing the bank that you used?
All commercial banks render this service. Waiting time could differ and customers are being treated on a first-in-first served basis.

In case you have an account with one of the new banks, you could be served faster because applicants wouldn't be much on queue. Since you asked, I use polaris for all my foreign and fx transactions and they're faster, even though I also operate accounts with some other banks. Traffic there is less, based on my experience. If you're resident in Lagos, just go to their HQ and ask of Mrs. Adesanya. She's head of their fx desk. Tell her one of their customers directed you. She's a kind lady and am sure the process would be faster,than when you apply at the branch level ....that's if you already had an account with polaris

The rule of the game is, always book and pay ahead of your trip if you have the money. I always book at least, 1 month to my travels, both home and abroad and its been my habit for several years. Same applies to my hotel bookings. You'd save a lot of money, doing this.

Good luck!

Hello guys. How is everyone paying for their flight tickets? I have tried to pay in naira but it seems none of the airlines are accepting naira. I do not have a means of paying in dollars. Is there any other way to book these flights? most of the offices i also visited are quoting outrageous prices. Kindly please advise. TIA

I've not booked direct from the airline. I always use Ajala.NG. I've not had issues with them. Just communicate everything you want via email so conversations are binding. Check their website for fares. The difference is not much. They also have pay on instalments option..

Also like someone said earlier, always book in advance. I do 3-4 months ahead. Now is high season so tickets are really high. Tickets for summer that I saw in February was really affordable.

Hello, can someone help with questions ask parents visiting their kids in USA? My mother in-law interview is in a weeks time. Also when filing the application, i chose lagos but got visa appointment in abuja. Is there going to be a problem?

Call the embassy to ask them about locations.
Just normal family questions. She shouldn't say she's going to help with their children. Visitation is just fine.

Nothing changes on the CGI you need to track your application on CEAC Visa Application.
So when the status change to issued, then expect update on the CGI portal -passport ready for collection.

I paid for Qatar airlines last month at GTbank and my ticket was sent to my mail within 30 mins. You can use the book on hold option if you want to use Qatar air, after filling in your details on their website, the airline will send a mail to you with your reference number and their account numbers for GT and standard chartered bank. you can make payments at the bank by filling a teller and your ticket will be sent to your mail. ( from my research, i think Qatar airline tickets are more affordable than others.)

Good day everything, I went for my scheduled appointment today with my family but we were denied.

Me: good morning
V.O: morning, may I have your passports?
Me: I gave it to him
V.O: any traveling experience?
Me: No
V.O: where are you going to
Me: Miami Florida and I told him what’s taking us there
V.O: what do you do
Me: I told him
V.O: continued typing
V.O: sorry you are ineligible at this time and I don’t have anything to tell u about it. Then handed over a blue paper to us.


Pls how long before one can reapply because we met all the criteria that he told us that we aren’t eligible about.

The V.O was mean and sort of rude. I pray anyone on here doesn’t meet that kinda man.

You can reapply right away. For visa applicants who required a visa interview , the visa interview appointment wait time in Lagos right now is more than a year. If you apply now, your appointment will be around mid-2024.
