Governments around the world often say visa fees go into the work they do to verify applications. However, for African countries such as Senegal and Nigeria, it feels like a rip-off.
New data shows that people from African countries have a lower chance of getting visas to the Schengen region in the European Union, and Canada more than any other nationality. Nigeria and Senegal rank among African nations with the highest visa refusal rates globally, frequently facing average denial rates of 45.9 percent for Schengen visas and more than 85 percent for Canadian temporary resident visas.
