A Nigerian lady has publicly appealed to the South Korean Embassy in Lagos to improve conditions for visa applicants, sharing her distressing experience in a viral video. She alleged that applicants were left sitting on pavements and under the sun for hours with no designated waiting area, despite the large number of people seeking visas.
Arrival and Queuing Issues
According to her, she arrived at the embassy around 9:30 a.m. and was issued a queue number. However, she was later informed that no more applications would be accepted after 11 a.m., forcing her to return on another day. She also claimed that some applicants had traveled from distant states, including Abia and Ibadan, only to be turned back after waiting for hours.
Call for Appointment-Based System
The woman questioned why the embassy had not returned to an appointment-based application system, arguing that it would reduce overcrowding and prevent applicants from making unnecessary trips. She ended her video by urging the embassy to treat visa applicants with dignity and provide a more comfortable and organized application process.
Her appeal has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many Nigerians sharing similar experiences and calling for better treatment at foreign missions. The South Korean Embassy has not yet responded to the allegations.
