Heartbreak For Moses Bliss: Gospel Star Spent Thousands, Yet Denied Visa For Worship Concert

Nigerian gospel singer, Moses Bliss, was forced to miss a major worship concert in Tanzania after being denied entry due to unresolved visa issues. The event, which drew an estimated 60,000 worshippers, was scheduled for October 2, following his performance in Kenya.

Bliss and his team had planned to travel from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam, but upon arrival at the airport, they were informed that their visas had not been approved, despite earlier assurances from the event organisers.

Desperate attempts to resolve the issue — including reaching out to African authorities, government officials, and ambassadors — proved unsuccessful.

Though advised to seek visas on arrival, Tanzanian immigration officials still denied them entry when their flight landed at midnight.

Expressing deep disappointment, Bliss revealed that hundreds of thousands of dollars had been invested to make the worship event free for attendees.

He apologised to Tanzanian fans, stressing that the setback was beyond his control. “It’s very painful because we prayed and prepared so much for this.

I did everything within my power, but immigration wouldn’t let us in. Tanzania, you are not at fault. You came out in your numbers ready for God, and that moves me. By God’s grace, I promise to return,” he said.
