Nollywood actor Alesh Sanni has shared an important message for Nigerians considering using agencies to secure travel visas.
On his Instagram page, He highlighted that relying on these agencies can put one’s financial stability at risk.
Alesh Sanni advises individuals against putting their entire life savings into these services, as the outcome can be deeply disappointing.
He raised the concern of what happens if significant amounts of money are spent and the visa application is ultimately declined.
He encouraged Nigerians to rely on proper documentation and to avoid spending excessive amounts on travel preparations, pointing out that agents do not guarantee visa approvals.
He wrote:
“Please, let me reiterate: avoid investing all your life savings in an agency for a visa application. It’s wiser to proceed with well-prepared documents rather than risk large sums of money. Consider the possibility of spending 20 million naira only to face a denial—where would you go from there?.
“Guys, pls, I won’t say this again, walai. Don’t use all your life savings for the agency to try a visa for you. Pls, stop this. Just try it with a good document, and don’t use millions for travel. Chai, this isn’t guarantee. Where do you wanna start from when you spent 20m to japa and got denied? Like how? Pls be wise.
No be agent go give you visa o. Pls be wise, don’t be foolish”.
He also drew attention to the current economic climate, mentioning that many embassies are increasingly selective about issuing visas.
“They won’t listen. Economy is bad to embassies aren’t giving visas anyhow. You people should not be foolish, them go just scam you”.
