CNN International correspondent Larry Madowo says Nigeria 's single entry visa fee of $215 is outrageous. Madowo made this known on his LinkedIn account on Monday. According to him, despite holding a Kenyan passport, which grants visa-free access to numerous African nations such as Uganda, South Africa and Ghana, Nigeria requires a substantial fee of $215 for a single-entry visa. He wrote, ' Nigeria just charged me $215 for a one-month, single-entry visa. Again.
Why am I paying $170 to take them and pose for a picture each time I visit? Isn't that a standard part of admitting someone into a country? 'How can we achieve a borderless Africa, or the promise of the AfCFTA, if we charge Africans $215 for a single-entry visa? 'In the three weeks since I was last in Lagos, I went to Uganda, South Africa, and Ghana, where I don't need a visa with a Kenyan passport. I've also been to South Africa three times this year.
