Legalization At Russian Embassy Is Getting Out Of Hand by Azeez95(op): 7:56am On Apr 17, 2025
Going to 2 months now, legalization at the Russian embassy has become impossible and due to this issue a lot of this a lot of student Visa have been rejected 😳 , because without docs get legalized no Visa can be given, and any legalization in Russia Embassy cost #97k per documents ,

The funny part is that some people have payed twice just to get their document legalized and still got rejected without any refunds, and every appointments with the consular in Russia 🇷🇺 Embassy, you will be asked to payed and if finally you are rejected , Their would not be any refund and no reason will be given to you why you are rejected 😉.
Imagine if you are to legalized 3 documents that's #291k and you are asked to pay twice or thrice just to get your docs legalized and still no avail.

This issue is still valid and nothing has been done ✔️ 😒 👏 🙃

Legalisation in Nigeria is a big scam, and the Nigerian government should look into it.

For example, France will authenticate each civil documents for 350,000 Naira (Price as at January this year).

Imagine going to France with your wives and two children, and they need to authenticate all their birth certificates and marriage certificates, you can do the calculation.

Birth certificate that cost about 20k naira to get, you spend 350k to authenticate it.

For Finland, its about 450k per documents. So if you have three kids, then 450k x 3, and if you add your marriage certificate, then you add extra 450k for that.

Its a rip off, and these are one of the ways Nigerians are punished systematically. Only the government can intervene and prevent this.

Hi Azeez, thanks for the info… I want to ask if the legalization and embassy visa rejection issues still persist? I just got my admission letter @ural state university ekateriborg for language program. So I want to confirm if the risk worth taking

All of these are just attempts to stop Nigerians from traveling... Embassies telling people to legalize documents from them at an exhorbitant rate is a crime that should be reported to the Nigerian authorities. You can send an email to the MFA (ministry of foreign affairs) on this...

By the way, I don't know why anyone would want to visit Russia at this period in time... The war could get out of hand in a second and many could lose their lives.

Because the university I am applying to needs to see legalised documents first before giving admission letter
