Hello, I'm listening to this video and I'm wondering if this is NEW. I have traveled 3 times to Nigeria and NEVER had to show proof of any of these vaccines. You even said that you CANNOT enter the plane WITHOUT proof of the Yellow fever vaccine. I traveled there last in December 2019 with no issue. So is this NEW info? If so, where can I find this new requirements? Any website? I'm about to apply for a visa to travel in APRIL. Thank you kindly

[@WanderlustAweSyndrome]

@@pureconvotv17 Excellent questions! I was going to do a video on things you don't need to do when going to Nigeria after going there. One of them is you don't need to get a yellow vaccine. I based my information on the US State Department, but it's clear that it doesn't keep up with travelers going to Nigera.

you can get your picture at CVS passport photos are 15 dollars.. The yellow fever shot price has gone down from 380 t0 250 or 280 my daughter just got hers this month, I got mines back in May of this year a hun dollars different. Plus we were told you need to have it 10 days before you leave. if you don't have a printer go to fed x and use their computer it will cost you but you can print everything off. It is 50 dollars if you use the computer in the OIS office. You don't have to an invitation it just mean that you can visit only which is good for 90 days I think. But with the invite, you have up to two years. it's crazy so like he said you have to be prepared it is time-consuming. the website it says on the ois site1-6 days to return visa nooooooo it's more like 5 weeks at the DC office and he said every office is different ugh!! look at videos to prepare yourself for the airport if you have never been.

You put any amount. The US dollars is CRAZY stronger than the Nigera Naira. Put at least $400.

@@WanderlustAweSyndrome ok. So with a letter of invitation I don't need hotel reservations correct? How long did it take for your visa to come back?

[@WanderlustAweSyndrome]

If you're applying to the Nigerian Embassy or consulate, you need a letter of invitation and proof of where you'll stay in Nigeria. If applying through OIS, you just need proof of where you will stay and no letter of invitation. Either way, you need proof of where you'll stay in Nigeria.

[@BrandonBrandonMarsha]

@@WanderlustAweSyndrome last question. Did you need am envelope for mailing. I'm going off the checklist and I called the ois. She told me I didn't need proof of shots. I have an appt but for next week.

After you pay for your online visa and set your appointment, it's SUPER easy to get a visa. The hardest part is applying. When you arrive at an OIS station, you turn in your required documents; pay any fees; and do your biometrics.

Or maybe I'll be able to visit Nigeria based on me having Ghanaian tourist visa and won't need to apply at all. I'll research that..
