Visa rejection rates remain high among Nigerian applicants—not always because of intent, but because of avoidable mistakes. At PraisenPam, we’ve identified key errors that prevent otherwise eligible travelers from achieving their dream journeys.
1. Choosing the Wrong Visa Type
Applying for a tourist visa when you’re attending a conference or applying for a student visa without the right school documents can lead to rejection. Always apply under the category that truly reflects your purpose of travel.
2. Incomplete or Incorrect Documents
Missing bank statements, inconsistent income reports, or unclear letters of invitation are red flags. Every document must be accurate and up-to-date.
3. Weak Travel History
While not mandatory, a blank travel history can affect your chances. Consider building your profile by visiting visa-free or visa-on-arrival countries first.
4. Financial Red Flags
Sudden large deposits or vague sources of income in your bank statement can raise questions. Ensure your financials show a stable and consistent history.
5. Overdependence on Unverified Agents
Fake agents promise visa guarantees and fabricate documents. Embassies can detect these easily, and applicants get blacklisted. Work with certified consultants like PraisenPam for safe guidance.
6. Lack of Preparation for Interviews
Even with the right documents, poor performance at interviews can cost you. Know your story and present it confidently.
7. Ignoring the Details
From wrong dates to misspelled names, small errors can cause big problems. Double-check everything before submitting.
