Nigerian passport and Turkish visa

By Oluwatomi Karinate Oduwole Jul 08,2022

I recently applied for a Turkish E-visa with a Nigerian passport. My application was accepted and I was supposed to leave on a flight to Antalya on the 7th of July 2022. However at the airport Turkish airlines did not let me board the flight because they said the rules had changed for those with a Nigerian passport. I just called the ministry of foreign affairs of Turkey in London and they confirmed to me that I could have travelled because this rule only applied to future applications and that even if I go to the embassy now I won’t receive a stamp or anything because my E-visa is still valid. Is it possible to confirm that this is the case and contact Turkish airlines about this o that I might still be able to travel to Antalya tonight on the 8th of July 2022 please. Thank you.
