Built by Someone Who Made the Move
I am Harold Pullen, founder of GrandRoyal Travel. I moved from Nigeria to Germany, opened the blocked account, sat the visa interview, legalised my documents, and navigated every piece of the paperwork myself.
Every guide here comes from real experience, not a brochure. The real costs, the real timelines, the real rejection reasons, and the tricks that actually work.
