The German Embassy in Nigeria warns visa applicants against relying on self-styled “visa agents” for information about travelling to Germany. The embassy says it does not work with such agents and encourages applicants to obtain guidance through official channels to avoid misleading information.
In posts highlighted by multiple outlets, the embassy urges Nigerians to consult only verified sources and to use its official website and contact points for details on visa requirements and procedures. The warning is framed as a response to circulating claims that may be inaccurate and could lead to unnecessary costs, confusion, or fraud. Nigerian Eye reports the embassy also invites people to share statements or claims they have heard from visa agents so the mission can address them in future updates.
Across the reports, the core message is consistent: applicants should verify visa information directly with the embassy rather than through intermediaries claiming to provide services or insider guidance.
