@tosinataiwo: Did you know getting your visa rejected is a billion-dollar business? In 2024, African passport holders lost $68 million in non-refundable visa fees. That money went straight to wealthy nations just for the privilege of being told no. But it gets worse. The private company handling your paperwork is now valued at $7 billion. They make hundreds of millions by up-charging nervous applicants for text messages and premium lounges while you wait in line. And the ultimate irony? We do it to ourselves. Africans still need a visa to visit 47% of other African countries. Watch the full breakdown at the link in my bio! 👆🌍 #africa #Geopolitics #economics #News #finance

Realistically African nations should also charge high visa prices and not allow travel without a valid visa 😒😒😒 Most western countries don’t need visas to enter Africa it’s insane

Getting a visa for African countries as a European is more difficult and expensive

In my country, the Japanese embassy only collects visa fees if your request is granted! And it’s about 20$… such a cool country i would say

thanks this is very informative. I wish Africans would limit travel to Europe as tourism is optional

Aside from the price you pay, the process to ask for a visa is humiliating and exhausting. Even getting an appointment is impossible and you have people who hog all the appointments and charge insane amounts for them.

A Schengen visa gives you access to 27 countries. That also means they have to check 27 countries for the visa application which means more work and justifies a visa fee. (similar thing exists in east Africa and you pay more) The real problem is the global shift to right wing parties who make it harder to get a visa! Your post is misleading and at best supports the right wing point of views! This helps no one!

But it's the same for Europeans in Africa. We pay without guarantee and face insane bureaucratic hurdles with procedures that are different in every single country.
