Just get a valid international port, do the right research... U might not need an agent "if you can gather the right info" that's the key

Depending on the country you wanna enter. Most American and European country visas av specified processes on their country websites to follow just to be granted a visa.

Secondly, if ur going for study in an American or European country.... There r are many WhatsApp groups who drop scholarship and paid students visa processes. I am in one though I don't have need for that at this moment. Just follow up n get updates. I have seen many leave this country via those group updates n rest.


D last time I even checked. One was even testifying how he entered Portugal via study visa, got there paid school fees for one year and dropped out from d school when he got a job. He only spent 800k from Nigeria here on flight n some miscellaneous only to get there n paid school fees n processed visa but some persons who are novice in this would v paid agent up to 2million just to get there n find out the so called visa is even on arrival.

Traveling abroad now seems to be at the top of to-do list of many Nigerians, and from the look of things, it is going to spike next year and beyond considering the gloomy situation of Nigeria's economy.

This now brings to question, is it necessary to use the services of travel agents?

Does agents improve the chances of one getting getting visa against DIY?
When I'm talking about traveling abroad, I don't necessarily mean migration on a permanent basis but also traveling for tourism or temporary work that requires maybe weeks or up to 6 months to one year and return. To countries such as US, Canada, UK or others in Asia and Europe.

Why I'm curious is because I have heard some school of thought saying:

"why would you use agents when you can DIY?"

"Agents are not reliable, they would even scam you!" Etc.

For Nigerians that traveled abroad successfully, did you make use of agents or you did the process yourself?

Asking for myself and hundreds of thousands of other Nigerians cry


NO never used one

Using agents that are trustworthy is important but very rare to find..I understand your fear though,many have being scammed severally but there many others who used agents and it was successful

However though most of these successful ones didn't jes sit back,relax and watch it manifest without putting in work on their part

Let's make it work for you, my email is open..

Use an agent.
You may be genuine, but the visa system doesn't care about that. It is an impersonal automated process that needs to see certain requirements met for approval to be granted. These agents know exactly what those requirements are and have the templates that meet those requirements perfectly. It has little to do with you researching and adhering to what is on those countries visa websites. It is about meeting it the way they want you to meet it which isn't stated on their websites.

Some Nigerians use agent cos they are too lazy to make research, read and acquire the necessary documentations.

I know loads of people that traveled without using any agents, as matter of fact, nairaland travel section has all the necessary info. If you don't have bank statement to show prove of fund, approach someone with financial capability to stand as sponsor, draft a sponsor's declaration and legalize it at the notary office.

That said, there are still some reliable travel agency out there, however the fees are quite expensive depending on the type of visa you require.

They prey on peoples desperation



@bolded, i like that part
ednut1:
many nigerians use agents because they don't qualify for the visas. Agents help to arrange documents( real and fake). Sometimes it works, sometimes the people get caught and banned. Agents in nigeria are usually not ed and are quacks ( over 90% of them). They prey on peoples desperation, they have deceived many into going to dead end countries where you cant work or get papers. Many of collected money and duped people.Agents to me need to be lynched. There are however some countries where you need them for work placements e.g arab countries. Since the agents are not ed you cant even disclose them on your application, they dont have any special quota in the embassy like many want to believe. DIY is the best way to go.

. No need of agent once you have all your necessary documents. Most of the people that are using agent don't have necessary documents, and the agent will mislead them or defraud them. My advice keep off from agent.

Genuine ones yes.
Best way to travel is through school because it's very straightforward and with low hitches provided you carefully comply with each steps along the way.

Keep money for school fees sha and pile your or do fate piling for them to believe that you have money and will not be a burden to them when you come over. These will have them believe that you are just there to study at your own expense.


Good luck to everyone on a mission to Japa out of this messed up country, its worth it.

Hello boss, please that aspect of doing fake piling for a prove of financial , does it work?

Because I wrote a Finnish University on my eligibility for a Doctorate degree, which is tuition free, but one of the conditions that i can't meet at the moment is the high financial I'd need. Enlighten me more sir.
