Hello NLds!

I have been a family member of this group to years and what I have found most interesting about this forum is it's educative and/or enlightenment opportunity it offers.

Yesterday, a thread was opened which discussed the way and manner Immigrants are being extorted, most especially, at the Lagos and Abuja International Airports. One cogent thing that I learnt about the thread is that the first-time travellers are more evenurable to the Airport Officials illegal activities even though some argued that giving anything to these officials is by choice ESPECIALLY WHERE IMMIGRANTS TRAVELING DOCUMENTS ARE VALID AND COMPLETE.

This is where I need your guidance.

I will be travelling out of the country for the very first time by next month. Therefore, I need guidance on two things:

1. For someone that is travelling on invitation base on medical ground, what are the valid travelling documents that the person needs to have to make it COMPLETE? This information is needed in ensuring that my travelling agents did a thorough job regarding my travelling papers.

2. I have taken my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and my second dose is scheduled for 19th of this month. Once these doses are taken, do I still need to take another vaccine before my departure again or I only need to do another COVID-19 test? If it is the latter, between what Internal/period do I need to do the test, where and at what cost?

Thanks as I await your guidance.

Blessings

Forget all they've been saying, focus on these:

1) GET TO THE AIRPORT ON TIME!!!
I mean like 4 to 5 hours before flight.
Once you do this you become the boss. They can't use their usual trick of u may miss flight.
Believe it or not, most people do things at last minute.

2) Have some small naira on you or be able to go and withdraw some. If you are at the airport on time there is no problem a little "gift" can't solve. Don't see airport as where you'd solve Nigeria's corruption problem. Those people have to eat too!

3) Once you are at airport on time, don't just sit in one corner. Talk to fellow travelers, they'd tell you how best to navigate, especially veteran travellers.
Even talk to airport workers, but be careful.

4) Try and be among first to weigh your bags and do check-in so if there are problems you'd have ample time to resolve it.

5) Be clear about your departure gate. Once checked in, go and sit there. Other people taking same flight will also be sitting there. In case there are changes you don't know about, their movements will alert you.

6) Know things like what's not allowed on airplane, amount of fluids you can carry, food, etc. No sense bringing something and they throw it out at boarding

7) BE ON TIME!!! Most people are kept busy by final arrangements at home, or delayed by traffic, and make it to the airport under time pressure - and become food for airport hustlers!

Jakpa now
Everybody dey Jakpa
God when? God pick my call

Make sure say your visa is valid and original ooh because we dey hear the stories of scammer agents getting their client fake visas.

Hold money ooh incase because those yeye immigration officials and customers officials are useless, they have made many people to missed their flight especially first time travellers.

You can scream and shout on them but those people no dey fear anything because they know that nothing will happen as corruption in Nigeria is too high.

Abeg no return oooh, stay that side

Mike072:

7. Since is your first time of travelling, please travel lite don't pack all your credentials and clothes along) that is a red flag to show you planning to runaway.

9. Know the airline baggage and boarding policy
10. Mind your business at the airport do not assist nobody for whatever reasons until you get to your destinations

Back to the fools at the Airport in Nigeria
Do not panic when you meet with them,
Be precise in answering them.
Never attempt to offer them money
Do not travel with processed food like beef, fish or snail especially to USA
Keep straight face conversation with them.
God bless your trip

MeghaneMorgane:
1. Make sure you have your visa and your passport. 2.You don’t have to give anybody anything.
3. No put blended egusi inside your carry on luggage. Customs will take it away from you
3. No put liquid or semi liquid for inside your carryon luggage.
4. Make sure you weigh your bag from home to avoid adjusting your luggage at the airport.

May God take you safely to your destination and may where you are going favour you.

ImpactBooks:

Thanks Sir for your tutoring. Although, you sound like I've never fly on a plane before (Lol). Not at all. I fly plane more often but local. Infact, there is no month that I don't fly but like I posited before, it has always been local. So, I know the local flight protocol.

I only need tutorial on International flight protocols being my first time on that route.
Anyways, I appreciate your guidance.

Stay blessed Sir
