    • Gandi H. ★★★★★ American Visa Is Not A Problem To Have The Moment You Are Clean And You Are Going To Spend More Fund's To Buy Any Kind Of Bussiness Legal Not Illegal in U.S bring it to Your Country To Make profit now due to exchange rate dollar is high.
    • Nikos L ★★★★ I’m an American-born citizen traveling in Nigeria, and after being assaulted and robbed in Lagos I’ve been dealing with both police and immigration issues. Everyone kept directing me to my embassy, so I expected at least some guidance, security, or support. Unfortunately, that was a mistake. The embassy treated me worse than any local authority I’ve dealt with. The staff on the phone were dismissive and patronizing, even when I called ahead to make sure it was okay to come in. After driving there, I wasn’t allowed to see anyone and instead was spoken to in a way that minimized everything I’ve been going through. The woman on the phone seemed more focused on explaining why my situation wasn’t her responsibility than offering any help. For any American traveling in Nigeria: if you run into serious trouble, be prepared to handle it on your own. Don’t expect meaningful support from your own government.

    • Darshan P. ★★★★★ The Embassy of India in Lagos stands out as a well-organized and welcoming institution that reflects professionalism and efficiency in its services to the Indian community as well as Nigerian nationals. From the moment one enters the premises, the environment feels secure, orderly, and respectful, with clear procedures in place for visitors. The staff members are courteous, patient, and knowledgeable, making genuine efforts to assist with consular services such as passport renewal, visa processing, OCI services, and document attestation. Appointments are handled in a systematic manner, which helps reduce waiting time, and queries are addressed with clarity and transparency. The embassy also plays an active role in supporting the Indian diaspora through cultural events, national celebrations, and community engagement, creating a strong sense of connection to India even while abroad. Clean facilities, helpful security personnel, and clear communication further enhance the overall experience. While peak days can be busy, the overall service quality remains commendable, making the Indian Embassy in Lagos a reliable and efficient point of support for official and community-related needs.

    • Nomos P. ★★★★★ Tucked in heart of Ikoyi. But their response time to emails take snail 🐌 🙄 🤔 pace. They should allow applicants to legalise documents here in Lagos instead of going to Abuja. Italy, Germany, Spain and other Schengen countries legalise their documents in Lagos and as such Denmark Embassy should consider legalization of documents in their Lagos office and not in Abuja.

    • Daniel E. ★★★★★ Visa Service at it best practice so far. The commission made it mandatory that once your documents are complete, verified and satisfied then you can proceed to pay for the visa fee which is much more better off than losing the visa fee due to incomplete documents.
