Hello everyone
I hope everyone is doing fine.

Please I want to confirm if I can pay dollar instead of naira for a US Visa at GTBank.

Don't you think paying in naira is cheaper and better.
I might be wrong though

That’s was my intention but when I checked Gtbank’s site I found out that their asking price (in naira) is way more than both official rate and black market rate when you convert them.

For example: On their site, a tourist visa is $185 and the naira equivalent is 333k.
Whatever conversion rate Gtbank is using is ridiculous.
I’d rather exchange with someone who earns in dollar here in naija and needs naira than pay 333k. That way I get dollar at the normal black market rate, which is more sensible to me sha.

same prob here. GTB is exhcanging online at 1,400 NGN per usd. so the 185 usd visa is more expebsive. i called customer care and the lady unkindly said i could take usd to the bank to pay for the visa at the prevailing exchnage rate which she said was 1250. anyone confirm this is true as she was more interested in cutting the call.

ok, so today i'll try to take 370 usd cash (185 x2) to the bank to pay for 2 people. Fingers crossed.

Through a fit at gtbank branch i went to in akure. Told them i had no gtb account and only usd. Dem no gree o. Said usd no be legal tender to make payments in 9ja. They did say the price was 300k plus last week and it was revised to 259k (1,400 ngn ler usd) this week maybe next week it will reduce again. But they cant guarantee
