Nigerian Embassy Dublin Inefficiency by DosuAde: 11:13pm On Jul 06, 2011 |
It is a chaotic experience to obtain a Nigerian passport from Nigerian embassy Dublin. I have been going to the embassy to obtain my passport for the last few weeks and they keep telling us the Passport issuing machine is broken. But to the amazement of people that were given a collection date for their passport and who have paid a fortune to travel to Nigeria, an insider told us that the machine isn't broken but they have run out of Passport materials. And there is a notice in the embassy that the machine has been broken and would affect passport issuing from June-11-2011, and according to them up till friday july-1-2011 they claim to be waiting on someone from Nigeria to fix the machine. We have a ticket to travel this weekend and we are confused what to do as my passport is expired and can't use it for travel. The tickets are non-refundable, non changeable and non transferable, we stand to lose around E6000 if unable to travel. Please I need help and advice quick on what to do as am tired of going there everyday and they keep saying " you are wasting your time coming here as we can't do anything about the machine" its madness there as people are not pleased considering this is one of the busiest travel period and if they were not equiped for this period you wonder what they are doing in the embassy all year round. Are you going throgh the same situation or would you know the best solution to this issue please share your opinion. |

Is there any efficient Nigerian Embassy? If there is. . .please let us know. Can't you try the one in London? Though i've seen complaints here about that embassy too. |

The problem is once you choose a processing country and have your picture taken with your fingerprint then you can't apply anywhere else anymore, or else you could be done for double identity. So in a way at collection stage of application its a point of no return. Thanks for your advice anyway. |

Ok. But couldn't the one Dublin give you a letter to give the one in London saying their machine is broken and that they are forwarding the applicants to them? |

I feel sorry for you, i know exactly what you are going through there. I had to abandon my form with them till probably the end of the year, its hell going to that place. What you can do is try and see if you can talk to Ahmed, show him your travel tickets and ask him to extend your passport if truly the machine is broken, i believe they should be able to do that as we have been informed that the old passport can still be used indefinitely. The guy could be quite reasonable and helpful if you can get to him. U can try Nicolas one of the guys there if you cant get hold of Ahmed. There is another guy who lives in Balbriggan, i dont know his name but if you know anyone who lives in Balbriggan they may be able to give you his name, he is very helpful as well and might be able to help you. |
