There's always restriction to $100 spending limit in Nigeria

$100 is a crazy limit.... that’s what happens to a country with bad reputation. The other day, WesternUnion told me I can’t send money to Nigeria if I’m a citizen of Nigeria.

ikelords:
Its a 2 yrs work permit to new Zealand, and the processing time is 3 to 4 months.. After that duration and your visa doesn't come out a refund will be done... Like I said, I won't wanna involve anyone until mine is out, so its gonna be something that was taste and confirmed by me.. Won't want my name to be associated with fraud .. Thanks

Did it come out successfully?

davodyguy:
Have you tried?
I'm doing $1000 USD payment too to Auckland via Sterling master card

did the payment go through? please let me know ASAP

No it didn't...

$100 limit is probably his bank's card limit. Other banks do much more than that. Also, dollar cards have higher limit as much as 5000 monthly limit.

Domiciliary card is what you referred to as 'dollar '.

Its actually $1000 (not $100) spending limit either on Visa or MasterCard Naira denominated debit card. I've used my card in close to 10 cities around the world eg Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Dubai, Perth, Sydney etc as soon as the limit is reached, transactions thereafter are declined

Femi, come see deal that i struck oo.

After getting my visa, i want to do a fast one.

Book a flight to Johannesburg from Lagos via SAA.
When i get to Johannesburg, i'll connect Qantas to Auckland.

Lagos to Johannesburg N280,000 return
Johannesburg to Auckland N400,000 return
Total N700,000 and super fast journey

My fear is that will SAA take us to Johannesburg without SA Visa? Though their website says when transiting via any SA airport to connect a flight, you don't need a transit visa

Lets talk

Yes SAA will take u to OR TAMBO Johannesburg without transit visa. If u transit through another airport u will need transit visa.

That’s a good deal but my question is, do u have any stopover between SA and AKL? because Quantas is Aussie airline and I want to believe there will be a stop in Aussie. If there is, u will need a visa for Aussie.

Just check first, if there a stop in Aussie, then u can go through Thailand or Honk kong. You won’t need any transit.

Thanks for your response. I want us to discuss this well, before I make payment.

Answer 1. I have to stop at Sydney, then Sydney to Auckland. See what Qantas gave me after doing reservation themselves few hours ago

ZAR15195.68 per person:

7 SEP QF64 JNB-SYD 1910 1455+1
8 SEP QF147 SYD-AKL 1600 2105

14 SEP QF140 AKL-SYD 0620 0800
14 SEP QF63 SYD-JNB 1055 1700

Do you think they didn't think about it well before doing reservation, knowing it NZ Visa and not AU Visa?

lol..... it’s yours or ur travel agent job to check what u need for your journey before booking the flight and this is why Qantas may not say anything. But in your case, u still have the time to get an Aussie transit..... it’s free I guess. Just look into that before u book. But I’m sure U need a transit to go through Aussie.

Oga ooo. Mẹ that I was happy I struck a deal. Let me enquire now.

How did you route your trip when going to NZ?

look into d Transit visa, it’s not something hard but ain’t sure if u need to book first. Or if there’s Qantas office in Lagos, better u talk to them.

I boarded SAA to Johannesburg, Johannesburg - Honk kong, Hong Kong- NZ.
I Met a guy here on nairaland who did a fantastic job for me. He beat prices from all the airline and agency I’d ed before him and I didn’t have any issue on my way. I will recommend him any day.

I'm currently looking into the transit issue.

But let me know something.

Was it a same flight as in

LOS - JNB - HKG- AUK

Or

LOS - JNB

Then you took your baggage and connected another SA flight to Hong Kong?

Firstly once u checking in ur luggage, u don’t get to see it until u arrive NZ. Only ur hand luggage if u have any, is what u have to move .

My flight was.
Los-JNB SAA. 6hrs or so can’t
JNB- HKG SAA. 13hrs
HKG-AKL HKG AIRLINE. 11hrs

11 hrs stopover in JNB, 2 hrs in HKG

This is what I'm trying to avoid by not wanting to book SAA. The faster route would have been

LOS- JNB- Perth-AKL
Lagos -JNB is 5:50hrs
JNB to PER is 10:00hrs
PER to AKL is 5:00hrs

Total time on air is Max 21 hours, shorter than the HKG route, but you'll be wandering in OR Tambo Intl. Airport for 18 hours before connecting flight to Perth. My last trip to Sydney thought me lesson using SAA. We had to stay in Aspire Lounge and paid $66 for the 18 hours stay. Trying to avoid stay over is why I'm considering alternative outside SAA.

if u really concern about the time, maybe u can check with Etihad.

I when my partner visited me in NG it was straight to Auckland from Dubai.... I may wrong, I have to ask but it’s something like that.

Personally I prefer to take my time I will rather pay to stay in a lounge than to die of boredom on air. NZ is far bro......I’m telling u, u need some rest in between.

Having read this post from page one to this very last post before my comment, I will say you are the second nicest Nairalander I’ve come across. Your help are sincere, apt, straight and laced with humility. So far no abusive response. Even when questions you have answered earlier are asked, you treat them without any iota of abuse. You spotted two fake visa but then again you asked commenters to hold on not to brand them fake yet. Bro, you are GOOD! May God open doors for you, bless the works of your hand and enlarge you coast. Please keep up, be you, don’t change.

You are right.

I found this

You don't need a visa to transit through Australia if you are:

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/transit-771/travellers-eligible-to-transit-without-visa

you arrive in Australia by aircraft, and
have a confirmed ticket to leave Australia to travel to a third country by aircraft within 8 hours of arriving, and
have valid travel documents to enter that country, and
you must not need to clear immigration or leave the airport transit lounge except to continue your journey

Hello Femi.

Need to discuss about document submission with you and seek your advice of best option.

I want unambiguous response oo

lantrenzo:

I applied few days ago. And yes my card has been debited. Thank you @Femijck.

Hello. Any update on the application? Since you applied in December, 2018 we are now in March, 2019. This can give an idea of how long it takes to get a response

ola80:
Thanks Solin and Femijck for your advise.
But as you might have known, Nzd immigration does not have a email address except tel. Nos and addresses. My cousin managed to get across to them through the online query option provided on their website. But he will still go ahead and them again and will let you know how far it goes.
Thanks once again.

Hello. Any update regarding your cousin's application?
