No news yet on my application. Infact there’s actually no single mail saying my application has been received or whatever.

Regarding Lagos application, their website suggests you can walk in there without appointment. I don’t know how true that is but I suggest you give it a try.
All the best.

Thank you for your response.

Hello all, Please I plan to submit application for turkey medical visa. I have my personal bank statement for 6 months, and for my company it’s a new account so I can only print 3 months from the business account. Is it advisable to add the 3 months statement from my business account ?

You should be fine since one is 6months.

Sorry I honestly have no idea how Turkish visa works. This is my first time applying physically. Usually applied for e visas till they stopped it.
Maybe send them a mail?

Hello, have u heard from them ever since?

Nothing yet. Once I do, I will surely update it here as I said earlier.
Though if after 15 working days they don’t reach out, I will gladly withdraw my application and travel elsewhere for the trip.

I don’t know how to DM you! I have same issue and I don’t know what to do! Please I need your assistance on this!

Good morning every body. Please I need an advise. I applied for Turkish student visa but my application was not positively evaluated according to the white paper which they stated that I can re-apply after 6months, though I will apply for refund of my school fees. Now I want to ask, can I apply for a tourist visa or I should wait after 6months? Please an urgent answer will be appreciated. thanks

I will advise you wait after 6 months. Even if you want to apply after 6 months, still use student route. Turkiye embassy keeps record of applicant, if you try to use tourist route, they may still deny your application (I'm talking from experience, it happens to one of my client).
If I may advise you, instead of coming to Turkey, why not try another developed country.

Ahh!! Shey this people Dey issue visa at all?

Extremely clueless. You won’t believe they didn’t even send any message to acknowledge that I made any application or they’re with my passport? All I have is the small white paper I used in paying that day. No single evidence that they have my passport.
After this trip, I won’t ever bother applying again.

Same thing I am asking myself. Anyway, we will find out.
Whether they give or not, we will at least use mine as case study so others will have information on current situation at the “embassy”.

crowd Dey plenty for country wey no Dey give visa

UPDATE:
Today is 18th October 2023 which is about 3 weeks after I submitted my application to the Turkish embassy in Abuja via Voya visa. I went to Voya visa to withdraw the application as I have to be in Uk in about a week.
Voya visa said I have to go to Turkish embassy in diplomatic drive for withdrawal of application. Went there and joined the small crowd that came for different things. (you sit outside under a tree and chairs are limited. I stood for a while).
After waiting for about 20mins, a staff member came to attend to everyone and it was quick.
Came back and told me my passport had been ready for over 2weeks that he’s surprised I didn’t receive an email for pick up. Wrote the date and asked me to go back to Voya visa. Went there and picked up my passport with visa.
The overall experience was stressful for a country I plan to visit just for 3 days. It’s not worth the stress.
Plus the cranky and very rude chubby lady at the reception acting as if she’s the consular herself.
Anyway, for your info: passport collection is only at 2pm, if you go earlier you will stand outside the gate and wait.
This information is not on their website or anywhere. You find out at the gate.
Overall, voyavisa services is very terrible and needs to be scrapped. I won’t go through such stress again

My application experience at Voya visa Abuja
I submitted my application today 22nd September 2023.
I went on Voya visa website to get an appointment.
Then from the checklist, I gathered all necessary documents.
* they claim appointment is from 9am to 2pm but at 11:30am, they stopped letting people into the premises. Only those already inside will be attended to.
* Please ensure your bank statement was printed a day before your appointment. I was sent back to bank because mine was about a week earlier.
* you can do flight and hotel reservations there. I paid 3,000 naira just for flight reservation.
* printing is expensive there at 500 a page so pls bring everything you need including the appointment confirmation page
* total I paid was $205 and it’s paid in cash there. Ensure the dollars notes is from year 2013 and above. I had a 100 dollar note from 2009 and they rejected it. Had to pay 3,000 to change the dollar to a recent one outside there. They said 5k so I bargained down to 3k.
* the process took me about 2hrs plus ups and downs. The form is easy and just a page.

I will update timeline when and if my visa gets granted. I applied for single entry tourist visa.

Thank God you got your visa. Have a safe trip
