I don't, just going there as a west African for the first time , since no visa is required for fellow west Africans.

It's possible if you have residency in those countries.

Hello, so a childhood friend of mine who went to America is graduating in May and invited me. I checked for open dates in Nigeria and it seemed like its about a year plus, what is the possibility of using the American embassy in other West African countries with more open dates within the stipulated time frame, the friend has already send me an invitation letter.

using a tourist visa in those countries.

You are in Nigeria bro, this issues have existed before both of us were born, so it was for you to quickly find an alternative at that point, go to a hotel lobby, restaurant and buy the smallest item, call a friend or family that normal has electricity backup at that point. It will take alot more time to solve our electrical problems, but you have to move on with your life regardless before that happens.

Sorry about that nonetheless, better luck and preparation next time.

Nice thread.

Good day Nairalanders. I am supposed to go for my team’s offsite the ending of October and I have a couple of questions -

1. For cases like a team offsite, is business visa the right option to go with? It’s not exactly my company, I am a contract staff and I work remotely for the company in question.

2. I have been trying to book an appointment via the appointment portal but to no avail, it keeps saying no available date. Is it possible to apply at a different European embassy since the Schengen Visa allows you access to the other Schengen countries?

3. Also, I saw this clause on the Schengen visa site

- If you are planning to visit only one country – then you need to apply at the embassy/consulate/visa centre of the country you will be visiting.

Has anyone tried this route, like applied for Schengen visa from an embassy different to the country you have to travel to and then directly traveled to the intended country?

I will appreciate your helpful responses. Thank you

In the same situation, let me know how this works for you..
