Biometric appointments are now mandatory for most visa applications. But in Nigeria, getting an appointment at VACs (Visa Application Centers) can be a frustrating experience due to demand and system lags. Here’s how to navigate it smartly in 2025.
Strategies to Book Faster
1. Apply During Off-Peak Months
Avoid major travel seasons like July, December, and school reopening periods.
2. Refresh the Portal Frequently
Appointment slots are released at random times. Refreshing every few hours increases your chances.
3. Use Premium Services
Some VACs offer paid priority slots. Consider them if time is tight.
4. Try Other Cities
If Lagos or Abuja is fully booked, check centers in other cities like Port Harcourt or Kano.
5. Let PraisenPam Handle It
