Arrived Barbados yesterday, i prefiiled the immigation form on the website and also filled the BIM SAFE app. I spent less than 5 minutes with immigration. I was shocked.. maybe because i was transitting?? I stayed Courtyard Marriot hotel and i m leaving today for Grenada. Thanks for the guidance and all. I appreciate

iskilayodele:
Yes, you can. It's called 'dual intent'.

Don't panic, Canada visa is easy if you can accept Jesus as your lord and saviour. Good luck.

leef2022:


Some POE are ruthless tho, once on an exchange program to a certain state, @ POE the immigration there would legitly check you to your knickers regardless of your sex or where you had traveled from(wondering if they still did so now thou), thought they were being racial or profiling me, next trip went with Mrs and kids for a vacation to this same country and we all went through the same process... Then, was when I ended my plot to head to the courts for perceived harassment or racism lol, But the state is one i would always want to visit again, they are just blessed. Be prepared for anything is best advise any traveler could get. It's called POE, e get why.. lolz

Mrshocker:
You ridiculed Oyo state bro. Nothing dey delta unless you want to do oil business.
Ibadan is the 3rd major city in Nigeria after Lagos and Abuja.
Very big, developed and cost of living is cheaper. Even Most people that works in lagos put there families in ibadan and come home every weekend.

roqrules04:
Good afternoon guys, please do I still need to have my POF available in my account even if after visa approval?
I heard immigration normally ask for POF at the point of entry.

TWoods:


How is your third kid unfortunate?

Who will build Nigeria if all of you cowardly leave? I love the way he emphasised on having light in Togo

All the young men are cowardly running so the old men will continue to rule.

minasu190:
You made 1m, 3m and ran to togo?bros we are into this insecurity and bad governance of a thing,honestly there are lot of businesses u can do with that fund if u enter lagos,togo has its own flaws too..anyways i pray you find Gods' favour

mulannoire:
Guys now that dropbox has been re-instated, can i cancel my 2024 appointment and reapply for dropbox?

nikkygal:


Please can you paste the full contents of the mail you received from the embassy here? Feel free to remove your personal details.

There is a lot of speculation around the interview waiver process and a lot of people are itching to know what's the status and how to go about it.

Thanks.

V.O: you’re a lawyer?
Me: yeah

V.O: who’s sponsoring your trip
Me: blah blah blah

V.O: We’ll notify you when your passport is ready for pick up

Thank you Oyekora!
It has been changed to the new date. This is so painful and unfair. I've sent them an email already, waiting for their response. August 8 is very far fa since last year March.

hammiid:


Thank you bro
I have gotten a UK VISA before
I know their way

But guys beware of SpainBls

mialate:

@ Hammiid, Having multiple Schengen Visas doesn't guarantee a UK visa.

Best to put in an Airtight application. Dot all the i's and cross all the t's

Ashirioluwa:


Yes you can. My wife got 3 months multiple the first time she applied.

Single or multiple is not the issue. The main issue is for you to be able to convince whoever looks at your application that you are coming back to Nigeria after your vacation.

Very true. I got a Netherlands Transit enroute London. I had a schengen visa but was not valid for travel before I left for the UK. So yes. Nigerians need a transit visa using KLM/Airfrance.

Hello to everyone in this group and happy new year to you all. I would like to seek your advice / opinion on this: In 2016 my mom and I were successfully renewed our visa the first time via dropdox but the second time (2018) it was denied when we went for an interview for renewal (dropbox was cancelled). Now she has a serious medical issue (broken femur with total knee replacement degradation) and needs surgery and my uncle (her younger brother) who is a citizen has advised we bring her to the states for the surgery. My question is should i apply with her again or should her cousin (a lady with children) apply with her. I am weighing the chances of her getting a visa. Our last interview i was being asked all the questions and none was thrown towards my mom at the time and we were denied. My mom's cousin has never travelled before but my mom has been to the states twice and spent a month during both periods. Her travel history is India and US.

mrprolifik:
Sure you can travel from Ghana as long as Ghana is not on the banned list. But check to see if you need to do a PCR covid test before your flight to Canada

Shakiratemma:


Good day
Is it gonna be a big problem at the airport or anywhere else is the batch no isn't showing on ur vaccination page??

gistbite:


Ah no! I meant no offense. I thought one couldn't apply for Canada visa from UK because I plan to do that next year.

gistbite:


You can't travel to Canada from UK for now? Why is that please?

maziude:


They do actually.

Visa validity is on a case by case basis. I have even seen 3 months.
