Some Nigerians love to travel for tourism, vacation while others love to travel for greener pastures.

However, one very document called “visa” determines whether your travel dream will be achieved or not. I learnt that people go to mountains and churches to pray and seek the face of the Lord for a positive outcome of their visa application.

This small yet very powerful document puts a lot of people in a very sober mood when denied.

However, travel history is one important factor that is considered before granting a visa application.

You should build your travel history by traveling to a range of countries first, that do not require a rigorous visa application process.

As a Nigerian, you should first of all travel to visa free countries or countries that would grant you visa on arrival at their airports with a token of 50 dollars.

All you need to do is get a confirmed booking(duly paid booking) and a flight ticket from your travel advisor, if you do not have one, i recommend you hire flyafricans.com , you are sure, good to go with your international passport.
