Follow normal visa processing

HazzanTazzan:
i applied for tourist visa to france and presently gathering necessary documents for submission.

however, see this page, i discovered that so many documents are mentioned here which werent stated in the list of documents i was asked to bring along...

eg the list i got after filling the form on the website doesnt say i should bring marriage certificate or tax clearance or a family member's bank statement.

on the list i have...

1. application form

2. ID photograph (passport photograph i believe)

3. travel document (intl passport i believe)

4. prebooked return ticket

5. reservation confirmation with a tour guide (looks like the tour guides wont give me reservation unless i pay)

6. travel health insurance (i plan to use IGI)

7. hotel reservation or sufficient means to cover accommodation for the period of stay (do i just show them my bank acct balance to prove i have money to fund my accommodation when i get there?)

8. proof of income (bank statement i believe... what are they looking to check here?)

9. proof of professional situation (do i just present my certificate of incorporation as a business owner or i need more documents to back this up?)

pls help break these things down

Yes it is compulsory. They are selling it at France Application Center for 150 naira or you can also download it online. Download it below

Focus on the documents you were told to bring. Each application is unique in itself.

No. 7 - It will be better to show a reservation that covers your entire stay. I don't think you need to pay for reservations.

No. 8 - What are they looking to check? Really. Lol.

No. 9 - Any document you feel will be useful to present as a business owner, then present it. They are not complaining of too many documents.

Hope you pay your tax though?

Just got my French visa last friday 01/03/2019 . Really excited.

Good evening Gurus in the house. I got my passport yesterday via courier and I was denied a tourist visa to France. Only one number was ticked in the refusal form...
"Justification For the Purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided"

Please experts should assist me in explaining the stated reason for denial, as I'm confused as we speak. Thank you all and God bless.

Pls I want know if France is still stamping on passport for visa denial

HazzanTazzan:


8. Is it a crime to ask for clarification on what you don’t understand fully ? They cld be checking for how much activity the acct has, cld be the present balance and cld be that I need to present a bank acct in my company name ...

I believe the tax document I’m processing for the new business name I registered will suffice for “Hope you pay your tax”...

The biggest of the problems is getting a RELAIBLE tour guide cos I have to pay them at least a % before they do a reservation for me

Christycode:


I want to get mine in France. I thought it was supposed to be a choice.

Forfoodonly:


You don’t need to pay for any tour guide. Write an itenerary. Asin Day 1 Eiffel Tower & musee du louvre. Day 2 port de Vincennes day 3 arc de triomphe etc. just state your day to day plans.

If you’re going as a tourist you should know what/where you want to see. Google should help. I

Sorry for your refusal.

Sometimes they may refuse you under this head if your supporting documentation is insufficient.

To see if we can give you some help concerning your issue, depending on the purpose of your intended visit (tourism, business, conference, study, etc.), and assuming that everything else checks out (reasonably healthy bank balance, some good travel history/record of compliance with other visas, good ties back home, etc.) what specific documents did you present justifying the trip apart from the generic ones you mentioned above?

For instance, when I applied for my last Schengen visa, in a cover letter I detailed a general itinerary, listed the cities I wished to visit in that country, mentioned a couple of the sights I wanted to see, paid for a tour group (refundable), etc.

Hello everyone.I intend to apply to the French embassy for schengen visa this week.I was previously denied both French and Spanish schengen visas with my husband on justification for the purpose of stay is not reliable.I have previously travelled to schengen states in 2012 and I have been to the US,UK,UAE,Ghana,Budapest to name a few.So I don’t know what could have gone wrong.I intend to go for my sisters graduation.Also where do you get your flight itinerary from?
I intend to put:
Hotel reservation
Flight reservation*
Leave letter form employer
letter of introduction
Invitation letter from school for graduation
Letter showing itinerary
Marriage certificate
Land documents
Payment of rent**

I am very confused on this schengen application and I would appreciate all the help.

You get a flight reservation from any travel agent.

Secondly, if you've successfully obtained a Schengen visa in the past and have the travel history you've outlined above as well as ticking the other boxes (ties to home, good source of income, relevant reason for travel, etc, etc.), I think you'll get a visa. However, not knowing what you filled out in the other two Schengen applications, we can't really determine what may have gone wrong.

All I can say is that you should approach this next application with care because you've already got 2 "strikes" against you in the Schengen database. Remember that there is specific information that you are supposed to supply with an application even if you're gotten visas in the past. First read back on these threads and the others in this forum relating to Schengen visas. Then review the last 2 applications you made against what you've been able to glean (I always keep copies of all application forms I fill out, so have all that at my fingertips in the event of a refusal) and see if you can find out where you went wrong. And you should be able to find that out, because it should be something noticeable for them to refuse a visa to someone with your travel history.

Sometimes an application may have ostensibly satisfied all points and it seems as if they've still thrown the "Justification not provided" at you as if they just don't want to give it to you. Because they don't give specific reasons like the UK does and instead use the catch-alls, one can never really know in those situations. If both your recently refused applications resulted in that generic refusal ticked on the slip and you cannot see where you went wrong in the last two applications, then perhaps you need to take a step back and leave the Schengen zone alone for a while.

This time around your purpose for travel sounds reasonable, what was it the last two times you were refused? Did you include sufficient supporting documentation to back it up? What was your account balance, for instance? Did you document your itinerary and ensure it was coherent? Have your circumstances changed since the last time you got a Schengen visa in 2012 and if so, how? And so on. (We've all heard that you can show up at the embassies with low account balances and be given once your statement shows that good money passes through - it doesn't always hold true. For instance, a friend of mine with extensive travel history way beyond my own was denied by France last year when he sent in a statement of 1.6 m with his application, even though he's a good earner (He reviewed and decided to build up the account to 5 m and reapplied and got it)).

So when you may have figured out or made a good guess as to why the last two applications were refused, we can take it from there if you'd like to hear our opinions.

Best of luck.
