Nigeria Removed From List Of Countries Eligible For Turkish e-Visa
Nigerian visa applicants to the Republic of Turkey have been barred from accessing the e-visa provisions but have instead been advised to apply via any Turkish Consulate, Eagles Reporters reports.
According to Eagles Reporters, this online platform gathered on Thursday from prospective applicants about the sudden change without prior notice or communication from the Turkish Mission in Nigeria.
But it appears the decision was taken following the incessant terrorist attacks in Nigeria and the high security alert that followed the attacks on the Kuje Custodial Centre in Abuja on Tuesday, where some terrorists were among those released from the centre.
Apparently one of the affected Nigerians in a viral message viewed by Eagles Reporters said, “Just putting this out there. Someone out there with a Schengen/UK/US visa might be booking a ticket to Turkey right now thinking they will apply for a visa electronically.
