Four months ago, I traveled from Germany to Den Haag to renew my passport, prior to booking an appointment and traveling I asked the embassy on WhatsApp if it was possible to pay and do a same day collection as I wanted to pick it up immediately. The CS personnel behind the account said yes.

I went to the embassy and then was told I would not be able to pick it up as they’ve got issues with their system. It’s been four months of constant calling, pleading and begging the embassy to please release my passport or let me pick it up in Berlin but they claim this isn’t possible. They don’t even pick my calls anymore, emails to the embassy and ambassador’s office are unanswered.

I called Berlin explaining my situation and they want 450 euros to create a new application and give me the passport

In the four months, my residence permit has expired, I cannot renew my residency as it’s waiting on my Nigerian passport. My bank accounts have been limited. I’m pretty much illegal in Germany as it is and this situation has been causing so much stress on my mental health.

@justwise if you could move this to FP please so people that don’t want to wait one year for their passports be aware.

Nigeria shaa

Kindly give to Twitter....post the same thing...tag everybody tagable........hundeyin,abike,rinu, minister of interior, immigration etc..


Thank me later.

Nigerians working at all Nigerian embassies have carried their bribery and corruption plague from Nigeria to these foreign countries.

They want you to pay bribe but you are trying to do the passport official way. That's why you will not get that passport in 5years. It's same thing they are doing in the Nigerian embassies in the US too. In the Nigerian embassy at Georgia, U.S., they have agents close to the embassy that collect bribes on behalf of the embassy officials before you can get anything done inside that embassy.

If you fail to pay the bribe, you will be subjected to same treatment as OP.
