One widespread myth among Nigerians is: “You must have travel history to get a visa.” This is false, and we’re here to break it down.
❌ Myth 1: No Travel History = Automatic Rejection
Truth: Many people with no travel history have successfully secured visas — especially for study, work, or conferences.
❌ Myth 2: You Need to Travel to “Easier” Countries First
Truth: What matters more than travel history is the strength of your ties to Nigeria and your proof of genuine purpose.
✅ What Really Matters:
-
Strong ties (job, business, family)
-
Financial proof
-
Genuine reason for travel
-
Accurate documentation
-
Clean travel record (no overstays, no fake docs)
💬 Final Word:
You can get a visa on your first application. Don’t be discouraged — just be honest, thorough, and well-prepared.
