No visa ban on Nigerians – Turkey embassy


The Turkish Embassy in Nigeria has confirmed that there is no visa ban on Nigerian passport holders, as against reports that have raised concern.

On Thursday, reports surfaced, suggesting that Ethiopia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates had revoked certain privileges for Nigerian passport holders, such as visa-on-arrival, e-visa, and outright passport issues.

Specifically, Turkey no longer allows Nigerian passport holders to obtain its e-visa, which was previously a seamless process.

The Personal Secretary to the Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Wunmi Evelyn, told newsmen that “There is no visa ban on Nigerian passport holders.

“As it is well-known, if there will be any update regarding rules and procedures of the policies and practices of any country, these updates are officially notified to the respective foreign ministries, and statements/announcements are issued by the embassies.”

Visa applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, the secretary explained, addressing specific instances where applicants faced rejections.

“While every application has been considered as case by case, for an applicant who has previously been denied a visa, (if there is not any fraud or forged documents detected) he/she should correct the mistakes that have been made in his/her initial application and try to improve the quality of his/her application.

“Besides, he/she should update the documentation and refrain from supplying old versions of required supporting documents,” she added.

This comes following the ranking of Nigeria’s passport among the world’s least powerful, according to the Henley Passport Index.

In 2023, Nigeria was ranked 90th globally, allowing visa-free admission to only 46 out of 227 destinations.

Difrent:
You need to understand why most igbos are like this.
Even though they deny it openly and claim it has been abolished ,their society is still heavily caste based.
And since the vast majority of them belong to the slave caste they believe with money , the slave caste can be wished away thats why the vast majority will do anything to make money in the hope that with money their class will be elevated.

Some people hate any good news about Nigeria but celebrated bad ones. These set of frustrated people want to install president on the country they hate with passion. True Nigerian must shine their eyes.
