Contact for letter of invitation nigeria

Hi all,

I am in Yaounde right now and want to apply for the Nigerian visa (i am overlanding from SA back to Germany on a motorbike along the west coast).

I need a letter of invitation. Can anyone give me a contact in Nigeria, who can issue that letter of invitation?

Thanks a lot,

Martin

Hi,

I got the Visa for nigeria in Douala GPS N04°02'31.5° E009°41'23.4" close to the aqua park hotel without a invitation in 2010. First they did not want to give it to me, then tey told me i can onely get 3 days transit but with a lot of patience, pretending to be friendly and telling them "i just want to go home" i got 7 days transit to rush through the worst country of my whole trip:

Thanks Tobi. I was lucky here in Yaounde, got the visa in less than 24 hours without a letter of invitation. Stumbled upon a travel agency where one of its employees has a friend at the Nigerian embassy ...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
