Thank you!

It is not easy to get a tourist/visitor visa out of Lagos it had to be GOD's grace my brother in law has gone several times and was denied. So you may send the things you mention but dont be surprised if they are denied...Good luck and it is worth the try :thumbs:

Yes, I have heard that it is very difficult, and it is very much worth a try. So what do you think the odds would be if he was to invite a couple of his Nigerian friends that live abroad...like in Italy and London? Would they have a better chance than his friends that live in Nigeria?

Congrats dear...one of the very few :) . My mom was there three times and NADA :(

Yes, I have heard that it is very difficult, and it is very much worth a try. So what do you think the odds would be if he was to invite a couple of his Nigerian friends that live abroad...like in Italy and London? Would they have a better chance than his friends that live in Nigeria?

They will probably have better chances than those in Nja but that does not guarantee success. My friend in London was denied two years ago but then she was single at the time an RN and just studying in London( even though she had no intention of staying here).
