- Who it's for

This is my second time using ivisa and definitely will not be my last time !
The system for the application is clear and easy to follow. There was some confusion and inconsistencies about my application because persons responding from customer support were saying different things. In addition, I paid for a service that was forgotten and the staff in customer didn't trust me in the beginning until they find out after 7 hours of exchange of WhatsApp messages. It was not pleasant at all. In general the system is good but not reliable.
Very efficient application and so fast and also very helpful . Looking forward to visiting wonderful Lagos for the second year. Happy Days Thank you Philip Andrew Shepherd.
This time they sorted out my visa properly and on time. Thank you for the excellent service.
