Visa rejections can be emotionally and financially draining. Many Nigerians unknowingly make errors that can easily be avoided. Here are 7 mistakes that may cost you your visa:
1. Incomplete or inconsistent documents
Any mismatch in names, dates, or records can raise red flags.
2. Weak financial statements
Lack of proof or fake documents are immediate deal-breakers.
3. Vague travel purpose
Unclear intentions can lead to assumptions of immigration intent.
4. No travel history
For countries like the US, UK, and Canada, prior travel builds trust.
5. Suspicious sponsorship details
If your sponsor can’t prove stable income or relationship with you, it’s a problem.
6. Last-minute applications
Submitting too close to your travel date increases your risk.
7. Unprepared visa interviews
Rambling answers, nervous behavior, or giving off “intent to stay” vibes are red flags.
