Dakar Immigration & Driver Recommendation: Stand Your Ground! ✊🌍

🛂 Entry Experience (Mar 7, 2024): Like many travelers, we faced "fee fishing" at immigration—but refused to comply! Here’s what happened: 1️⃣ We were diverted to a "foreigners’ line" (bad luck: we were last in queue). 2️⃣ After standard questions (purpose of visit, hotel details, fingerprints), the officer suddenly demanded a "Chinese tourism permit letter" (which doesn’t exist!). 3️⃣ We stood firm: "The embassy website states only return tickets + hotel are needed for visa-on-arrival." 4️⃣ He hinted: "Money solves problems." We bluffed: "We already called our embassy—they confirmed no extra documents!" (A lie, but it worked! 😎) 5️⃣ Finally, after a tense wait, the visa was issued without bribes. Key Takeaway: Research requirements in advance and hold your ground. Their "rules" often change on the spot—don’t be a soft target! 🚗 Driver Recommendation: Moustapha = Safety + Reliability! After comparing options, we chose Moustapha (WhatsApp +221 XX XXX XXXX): Price: ~$75/day (full-day service, waits for you everywhere). Perks: ▶️ Basic English + translation app for smooth communication. ▶️ Pre-arranged our apartment check-in before pickup! ▶️ Acts as a driver-bodyguard—crucial for safety in Dakar. Bonus: He’s a new entrepreneur—support local businesses! Pro Tip: Always confirm pickup points/details in advance via WhatsApp. #Senegal #Dakar #AfricaTravel #WestAfrica #TravelSmart #NoToBribes ✈️💡
