Don't know for now but we would find one online I guess.just want to know if it's ok to change from staying with our friend to hotel lodging.u know this is required in the visa application .

I asked the question simply because,it's either you are factoring hotel cost in your total spend or your friend is providing a letter regarding your shelter arrangements.

Good afternoon All,

My 6 month visa expired today

i want to apply for 2 yrs next month (october), but i discovered my port will expire in early March 2016, counting from my proposed time of application October till Early march i have just 4 months port validity. (All existiing Visas have expired to)

my questins:
Do i need to renew my port before i apply or can i just apply bearing in mind my port validity is not up to 6 mnths.
if i renew my port I will hve 2 valid ports one to expire in early march the other sometime in 5 yrs?

@justwise @vicjustice @Iblaw @Ogreen Please help a brother

Your port must have the minimum validity period of 6 months in order to use it for visa application.
Note: it is allowed to apply for a 10 years visa with a port that has 6 months validity as it is tender-able and legitimate to have a valid visa on expired port.

So I have to get a new port,

Renew your port. Your old port would be 'Cancelled without prejudice'. Then when applying for your visa, attach both old and new ports together with a rubber band and submit both.

It will be near impossible for you to get a visa in your situation because you have no economic, family and social ties.

Justwise and Vicjustice I lie?

The only problem you have now is to prove your relationship with that family friend inviting you, financial you wil be ok because you are only going to be spending money on ticket while accommodation and feeding is taken care of by your host.

@Justiwise can he be sponsored as an adult knowing fully well the purpose of travel is for tourism?

It depends on who is sponsoring him and his relation to that person. If his host is paying for everything and he can proof that they are related with evidence then it increases his chances.

Getting a visa to visit a family friend as an adult with a small salary ll be a very big mountain to climb I must tell you.

Your social and financial ties to Nigeria is not strong enough. unless u b a high risk taker, I ll suggest you wait till when things gets better.
