Frequently asked questions

Browse the categories or search for a specific question.

01 Is getting a visa guaranteed after applying?

No agency can guarantee a visa decision. The final outcome belongs to the relevant embassy, consulate or immigration authority.

What we can do is help you understand the requirements, review your documentation and prepare your application as carefully as possible.

02 Can I work with Pedani if I don't live in Lagos?

Your location does not necessarily prevent you from getting guidance. Many parts of the preparation process can be handled remotely.

Depending on the destination and application type, some steps may still require your physical presence. We'll let you know when that applies.

03 Do you help with work and employment visas?

We provide guidance for eligible migration and visa pathways, including work-related routes where our service covers that destination.

Requirements vary considerably between countries, so we recommend checking your specific destination before beginning an application.

04 What documents will I need for my application?

The document list depends on the destination, visa category and your personal circumstances.

  • Valid international passport
  • Recent passport photographs where required
  • Financial evidence where applicable
  • Travel or accommodation information where required
  • Supporting documents relevant to your application

You will receive destination-specific guidance rather than relying on a generic checklist.

05 Do I need proof of funds?

Some visa categories require applicants to demonstrate that they can financially support their trip or stay.

The amount and acceptable evidence depend on the destination and visa type. We'll explain what applies to your particular application.

06 Do I need previous international travel history?

Not necessarily. A previous travel history can sometimes strengthen an application, but not having one does not automatically mean you cannot apply.

Your overall circumstances and the requirements of the specific visa route are what matter.

07 How long does visa processing take?

Processing times vary by country, visa category, application volume and the relevant immigration authority.

Our own preparation and review stage may be completed before the application reaches the embassy or consulate. We will explain the expected stages for your destination.

Always allow additional time for appointments, document requests and unexpected delays.
08 What happens if my visa application is refused?

A refusal does not necessarily mean you can never apply again. The next step is to understand why the application was unsuccessful.

Depending on the refusal reasons, you may be able to address the issues and submit a stronger application. We can help you review the available options.

09 Will I have to attend a visa interview?

It depends on the destination and visa category. Some applications may not require an interview, while others can involve an appointment or interview.

If an interview is required, we can help you understand what to expect and prepare appropriately.

10 Can I travel immediately after receiving my visa?

Not always. You should first check the validity period and start date shown on your visa or travel authorisation.

Your travel plans should also match the conditions attached to the visa.

11 Can you help with flights and accommodation after my visa?

Yes. Visa support can be followed by assistance with travel arrangements such as flight bookings and accommodation, depending on the service you require.

This allows you to plan the practical side of your journey after your immigration requirements have been addressed.

12 Can you help me plan the rest of my trip?

Yes. Depending on your needs, we can assist with travel-related arrangements including flights, accommodation and other trip-planning services.

Tell us where you're going and what you need, and we'll help you identify the appropriate next steps.

13 How can I know that I am getting professional guidance?

A professional visa service should be transparent about what it can and cannot do. No legitimate consultant should promise a guaranteed immigration decision.

At Pedani, our focus is on clear communication, documentation guidance and helping clients understand each stage of their application.

14 Can someone help me decide which visa route is right for me?

Yes. Choosing the right route starts with understanding your purpose for travelling, your circumstances and the requirements of your intended destination.

We can discuss your plans and explain the relevant options so you can make a more informed decision.

Your question might be unique to your journey.

Tell us what you're planning and we'll help you understand the appropriate next step.
