Your travel history backs up your claim of being a genuine visitor and that you have complied with the immigration laws of the countries previously visited. It increases your chances of getting a visa to a visa-required destination. So how can you build history?
Start by visiting visa-free or visa-on-arrival countries.
As a Nigerian citizen, you are allowed entry into 45 countries visa-free or visa-on-arrival access.
Visit 2 countries on a single vacation
This helps you build your travel history faster. For Instance, rather than visit Kenya and return directly to Nigeria, how about you stop at Rwanda and spend a few nights before returning to Nigeria? That way you get 2 stamps on your passport.
Start with visas that are easy to get
When you decide to start visiting countries that require a visa for entry, start with easier-to-get visas. This will in turn build your travel history and increase your chances of getting tough visas.
If you want to make a strong impression on the consular, you have to make a good amount of travel history first.
