The Turkish Consulate in Nigeria has denied reports of getting visa prohibition on Nigerian identification holders. Last week, reports surfaced online guaranteeing that Ethiopia, Turkey, and the Unified Bedouin Emirates had repudiated specific honors for Nigerian identification holders, for example, visa-on-appearance, e-visa, and by and large identification issues.
The report claimed that Turkey no longer permits Nigerian identification holders to get its e-visa, which was beforehand a consistent interaction.
Notwithstanding, in a visit with newsmen, the Individual Secretary to the Turkish Minister to Nigeria, Wunmi Evelyn, said
There is no visa restriction on Nigerian identification holders. As it is notable, on the off chance that there will be any report in regards to rules and techniques of the approaches and practices of any country, these updates are authoritatively advised to the separate unfamiliar services, and proclamations/declarations are given by the consulates.
Visa applications are assessed dependent upon the situation, the secretary made sense of, tending to explicit examples where candidates confronted dismissals.
While each application has been viewed as one case at a time case, for a candidate who has recently been denied a visa, (in the event that there isn’t any misrepresentation or manufactured records recognized) he/she ought to address the errors that have been made in his/her underlying application and attempt to work on the nature of his/her application.
Plus, he/she ought to refresh the documentation and abstain from providing old variants of required supporting archives,” she said
This comes following the positioning of Nigeria’s identification among the world’s most un-strong, as indicated by the Henley Visa Record. In 2023, Nigeria was positioned 90th around the world, permitting sans visa admission to just 46 out of 227 objections.
Nigeria’s identification is the fifth-most horrendously terrible in Africa, attached with South Sudan, and just in front of Congo, Eritrea, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia.
