Question

Answer 1

BTA means Business Travel Allowance which in present Central Bank of Nigeria allows any person travelling Out of the Country can avail $2,500 ($2,000 in case of Ecowass) per quarter with prescribed documents, while if you are travelling on PTA (Personnel travel allowance) is $2,000 per quarter.

It is not a must you need this when travelling out side Nigeria.*

Answer 2

BTA In Nigeria, BTA is Basic travel allowance, correct.

BTA (or some of it, to a max of $2,500) is the amount the Fed govt allows an individual to carry when departing the country without having to declare it at customs.

I think the max BTA now is $2,500/quarter i.e every 4 months.

This currency restriction is part of govt's efforts at preventing illegal transfers of money, laundering, capital flight etc.

To purchase BTA, you are required to bring to the issuing bank:

1. valid int'l passport with a travel visa.

2. airline ticket

3. cash in the local currency to be converted to int'l currency of your choice (usually traveler's cheque, not always though)

Usually that is only an issue at the time of filing (proof of funds for visit/study) for a visa at the embassy of the country you intend to visit!

That said, Nigerian airport officials tend to be arbitrary.

Take care.
