BREAKING: WOMEN NO LONGER NEED HUSBAND’S APPROVAL LETTER FOR VISA CLEARANCE – NDLEA
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced that married women will no longer be required to present a letter of approval from their husbands to obtain visa clearance for international travel.
In a statement released today via X by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, it was revealed that this decision followed a reassessment of the necessity of the requirement.
The statement noted that the initial inclusion of this requirement was in response to certain developments in specific countries, which had necessitated stricter oversight of travel clearances
