    Is this a scam?
    I'm chatting to a girl who has been working at a orphanage in Nigeria, she has a UK passport and wants to come to Australia and stay here with me. Does she require a PTA to leave Nigeria ?

    Nigeria no longer asks that Personal travelling allowance be needed. If she asking you for this, then it is scam.

    Didn't know this - good research and worth writing down for the next time it's asked.

    They are not even a citizen of Nigeria, so Nigerian law would not apply to them, since their immigration apply to their citizens.

    But no there is no PTA needed, it is a scam
