Former presidential candidate Remi Sonaiya laments high cost of British Visa
Former presidential candidate for Kowa Party in
Nigeria's 2015 Elections; and retired professor of French and Applied
Linguistics, Professor Remi Sonaiylaments about the high cost of British Visa:s
Do i blame the British embassy? The answer is 'No'. Na una wey be politicians dey cause am. Politicians always run abroad like its at their backyard. Anything to reduce the influx of people to UK, so that is the reason they increased it. Yet it has made no difference.
and after it, they still may deny you. they denied me twice asking me to justify my monies like its their ancestors that dropped it in my account! Awon oniranu!
I agree with her. So annoying when one wants to get UK visa and it's so expensive. British Visa is the most expensive. I think the federal government need to look into it. Don't even know what's so special that they have to make it that high.
Good observation Madam! I be been waiting for a Government official to address this issue. They rip people off in this country yet people grumble but pay! Bloody British!
Madam, it cost as much to secure a 2 year Nigerian visa from the High Commission in London (the visa fee itself is an eye watering $468 plus an additional £20 to the Nigerian High Commission and £71 to the visa processing agents)!
Madam, the ans is simple. It is because greedy Nigerian politicians have refused to fix our country, thereby reducing the opportunities here. The British man understands this, and has deliberately hiked the price of their visa to scare many Nigerian hustlers away.
Because them know say una go still pay because 1. Una no know una left from right, 2. Nigerians are desperate to travel out....I can guarantee that price is only applicable in Nigeria
Abi ooo. It's just too much. As of year 2000, it was just 9,000. Now over a 100,000!! When we are only visiting and not relocating permanently! Nigerians..speak out!! Mo-1
Its definitely outrageous.my younger sister paid 345,000naira for both immigration health surcharge and visa application.some pay close to 500,000naira.this UK people can exploit 4 africa.smh
It's really crazy. .I wonder why our government ll allow such.i paid almost 4th for 10yrs bristish visa.this is a reap off..pls linda use ur forum 2 make it known so dt our useless government can do some tin abt it
Its everywhere ma. Cost me £230 (inclusive of service charges) for a 3 months Nigeria visa in London. Nigeria House customer services in London is also very poor.
am just surprised at the pple saying you shd stay back in nigeria if you cant pay the uk visa visa, are you nigerian at all? why should they make money from us with the harsh situation here in nigeria. my uncle paid over 300k to get uk 5yrs visa, its crazy. What a shame our govt is not even doing anything about the way the embassies makes money from us. The painful thing is after paying for the first time you are not even sure of getting the visa with their flimsy excuses. i'ld like to suggest, once you complete the online form and they know you dont qualify to get the visa no need taking you to the next page to make payment. i applied for the same uk visa and i was refused telling me to re-apply and explain somethings which i did and they still refused me with another different excuse they are not sure i will return back to nigeria after visiting Germany twice and i returned back to nigeria is it uk i will visit and not return???????????? i hope our govt looks into this and bring the visa fee down and if they know you dont qualify for the visa no need taking you to the payment page.
Please don't blame the UK government. I've this nagging feeling that the cost will continue to rise as long as the Naira is on free fall-courtesy of our money managers. Think of what it will be if N1=£1. There is the bright side though. If you can't afford it then stay at home. If you have no serious business in UK, stay at home.

Same question on my mind. When other visas for other countries cost less.
Finally someone spoke out ,government should do something about it,It's too expensive.

My thoughts exactly
Last visa I got was a five year.
I believe I purchased that visa not applied because it cost about 250k in 2011!!!!!!!
Thank you ma o.
I wonder why their visa is the most expensive?
Even US is just 31,200 naira.
Good observation Madam!

Bloody British!

the Nigeria high commission in the UK more than 400usd to get 2 year visa to Nigeria, how about that?
Abi ooo. It's just too much. As of year 2000, it was just 9,000. Now over a 100,000!! When we are only visiting and not relocating permanently! Nigerians..speak out!! Mo-1
Lol..
That is bloody expensive!
Mama I would have ask the same question too, but I realised we're nigerians and its UK!
Aunty linda biko
Because the conservative government have cut the cost of running the embassy,so they pass the cost down to people.That is how these people operate
.
If you are angry, fix nigeria and let other countries pay 518usd to get a 2year visa to Nigeria.
She is right , why is it so expensive.
It is too expensive

This is because we have Govt that do not care about such things. Such can only happen in Nigeria. Really unfortunate, I wish you had won.
