Nigerian Travelers Report E-Visa Fraudulent Activities By Ethiopian Embassy

As international travel becomes increasingly challenging for Nigerians due to stricter visa requirements, the Ethiopian Embassy is facing serious accusations. Travelers claim the embassy has defrauded them by accepting payments for e-visas without issuing the visas or providing refunds…….. CONTINUE READING

According to the complaints, the embassy failed to notify applicants that e-visa services had been suspended, despite the application process continuing online without updates about the change. Many Nigerians who paid for e-visas have been left stranded, unable to obtain their visas or get refunds.

One affected individual, identified only as Adventures of Ijoba, recounted spending $247 on an e-visa, only to find that his application was never processed. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue through the embassy and visa support services, he received no response or refund.

Victor Asemota, a tech expert, similarly reported spending $82 on an e-visa application but received no visa or refund. He and others took to social media to express their frustration, accusing the Ethiopian embassy of fraud.

In response to the allegations, the Ethiopian embassy’s official channels have yet to address the issue, and inquiries remain unanswered. The embassy had earlier announced the replacement of visa-on-arrival policies with an online application process for Nigerian travelers. However, the transition has not been communicated clearly, leaving many applicants in the lurch.

The situation has been exacerbated by the lack of clear information on the embassy’s website and social media about the new visa policies, leading to confusion and frustration among Nigerian travelers. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been contacted for clarification on the matter.
