Afcon Morocco Visa for Nigerians

[kawawa]

Brothers and sisters: I am planning to have my brother and a cousin who live in Nigeria join me in Morocco for Afcon. My brother just told me that travel agent in Nigeria said they need active US, UK or Schengen visa to get Moroccan visa. This seems a bit absurd to me. Anyone know? Much appreciated and hope to see some of you there in 7 months or s

Wow! They’re basically tell us not to come to Morocco. This can’t be right it’s an insult.

[Ugbowo]

I hope this is not true. I have a few ppl planning to meet with me after Christmas in Morocco.

This is not necessarily true, unless the rules changed in the last 3 months. I have this female friend who visited Morocco early this year on Tourism and she had no Us, UK or Schengen Visa. In fact she was denied a Schengen visa by the French Embassy and out of annoyance moved her birthday party from Paris to Marrakech.

Is Morocco visa on arrival

Is Morocco visa on arrival

For Nigerian passport holders…No.
You need a paper visa from the Moroccan Embassy.

US passport holders…Yes.

Nigerians and agents*. Contact the embassy yourself.

They require travel insurance. If they have US, UK or Schengen visa, you get an e-visa. None of this, you require a visa in your passport.

They can get Moroccan visas without UK, US or Schengen visas. They can't just apply through the online visa portal. They need to apply to the Moroccan embassy

[kawawa]

Thanks all. As I expected. Seemed absurd to ask that. Sad though, I can go to Africa from US without a visa and our brothers and sisters in the continent cannot cross borders easily.

Why are people always using agents? Why can't you apply for these things yourself.
The number one reason people get visa denials is because of dubious agents.

I’ve never needed the services of an agent to buy tickets or a lawyer for immigration purposes. Unless you have something on your record, most of these things are straightforward if you can read and do a little research.

Terrible advice.
If you can afford a Lawyer or a licensed service provider, USE THEM!

No, you are the one giving terrible advice. It’s not always about whether you can afford a lawyer or not. At times, they can work against you. When I brought my wife over to the US, I filled all the forms myself. My best friend was bringing his wife over too and he decided to pay a lawyer to do the paperwork. I don’t know what the mumu lawyer did and my friend got an RFE(Request for Evidence) from USCIS and things started going south for them. Long story short, my wife got her citizenship in 4.5yrs while my friend and his wife are still working to remove the condition on his wife’s green card. We both did the K-3 nonimmigrant visa for foreign spouses of US citizens. My friend’s profile is very similar to mine, we are about the same age, US citizens, have good jobs, similar finance and clean records. We live in the same city and we had the same visa processing center. Now explain that to me?

My guess is his lawyer intentionally didn’t have him provide enough evidence to show that the marriage was entered in good faith. Some of these lawyers have too many clients to give your case that special attention. Some can milk you to death if you’re clueless on what’s going on. African immigration lawyers are probably the worst. Like I said, if you are smart and you can do a little bit research you’ll be fine.

[packerland]

The only time I’ll say get a lawyer ASAP is during a divorce. Two smart people can represent themselves and fill out the necessary form, especially if they’re not disagreeing over assets, but that can be risky. One person can claim the other person coerced them into agreeing on something or can renege on a previous agreement.

Only a fool would take legal advise from an itinerant poster on the internet.
Please stop!

You are speculating. Both of you have the same profile, but do you didnt marry the same woman.

Our wives are the same age. This is not the case where one spouse is way older than the other which is often a red flag with USCIS. Like I said most of their issue was not providing enough evidence(RFE). Was it not the lawyer’s job to tell them all the evidence they needed to get it done?

LOL. you read too many immigration blogs. Your wives may be the same age, but their fingerprints did not turn up the same information, neither did their BVN or NIN.

There is no such thing as "all cases are alike." There are some cases that, on the face of it (prima facie), may look so straightforward, but the consular/immigration officer reviewing that specific case may be overly thorough or may be a difficult person and want to scrutinize. The immigration officer may be a MAGA, while your own may have been someone who is personally pro-immigration. There are just so many factors involved.

Anyway, I agree with you that basic immigration filings (stuff like marriage) are something one can do by yourself, if you wish. Since there are no complications. However, I think using a lawyer, generally, to guide you during any process is helpful.

You are using your friend's experience with a bad lawyer as an example?

Why don't you also use your friend's experience with a bad doctor or a bad accountant as an example as well?

There's nothing man no fit hear for this Internet.

Yours was a case of something being SIMILAR but are not the SAME.
