Like I told you earlier, the interview date will be the issue, don't think they can process it within that short time, and if you don't give them enough time, it might lead to a refusal, at least 3 weeks to your travel date, I don't know what you can do, Maybe apply through French embassy or italy or Portugal.

You must meet the requirements. can my company's bank statement be sufficient? cos my company wants to sponsor me on a vacation?

Hello guys , pls how long does it takes for german embassy to issue tourist visa ?

Good morning Nairalanders. For anyone applying for Visa to attend a conference, does the German embassy accept coloured printout of PDF invitation letter or they insist on original invitation letter sent by post.
Thank you all

Hello house. @justwise and @FrontPageLawyer, I want to book an appointment for my interview but my nee passport isn't ready yet.

I work and a good salary but my parent are retired and when is the best time to summit the application

Response pls

Salary credits? Please did you mean monthly salary deposited to the account?

FrontPageLawyer:


There is no specific amount required. An acceptable bank statement must have up to three months transaction records demonstrating your income from a verifiable source and it must have enough fund to cover your trip, and also; it must have enough balance to keep you going after the trip.

You must satisfy the visa officer that you have sufficient personal and economic circumstances in your home country. In making this assessment, the officer may consider your stated employment, length of employment and income.

Most importantly the visa officer may wish to see your bank statement showing salary credits. If your bank statement does not show salary credits, this may cast doubt.

Lufthansa and Turkish, but you might consider others.

Salary credits? Please did you mean monthly salary deposited to the account?

It means your salary must reflect in your statement of account

24 months)
• applicants for transit visas
• urgent medical treatment
• applicants on official duty ("note verbale holders" only)
• experts participating in scientific / academic conferences (only if capacity of the visa section allows)

INTERVIEW WAIVER.

Persons who have travelled within the last 24 months at least 3 times to the Schengen States with a Schengen visa or once with a one-year multiple entry visa issued by this Consulate General AND who have submitted a previous application at this Consulate General since 14.03.2013 qualify for the Interview Waiver option.

Lateralmaths:
I have a business visa interview next week at the
German Consulate in Lagos.
Part of the requirement is three months statement of
account and pay slips for three months.
I'm going for a sponsored academic conference and
the amount for the conference was paid in February
that is six months ago. So I plan to go with six
months statement of account and six months pay
slips.
Hope this is in order?

bro please what are the questions you were asked? will appreciate that.

FrontPageLawyer:
@salsera

The information was extracted from their website.

I do not see you qualifying for the interview waiver, but you can call the consulate to confirm.

my brother pls i need ur help. i need u to tutor me on how to apply for a german business visa. can u give me ur email so that i can write u. i have so many questions to ask. i will really apprciate it... looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello Everybody,
I am Oluwasegun and I just got a scholarship to attend a science conference in Germany. The conference is fully sponsored. On reading through this thread and the Visa information page of the German mission, I know I have to do the following (please correct me if I'm wrong ):

1. Fill the Shengen Visa short stay application form and print it out.
2. Add the print out above to some other required documents for the business visa and gather the docs, also get the cash equivalent of the visa fee.
3. Book an appointment for Visa interview online at the consulate.
4. Go for the interview where I will submit all documents and pay for the visa in cash
5. Hope for the best result

However, I am a bit confused about the required docs due to my profile. I just came back to Nigeria last year (from Cameroon where I did my masters) and since then, I have been freelancing online basically on Fiverr and on Upwork. Consequently, I do not have all the following documents required for travellers attending a conference :

1 Certificate of Incorporation/Registration of the company in Nigeria
2 Memorandum and Articles of Association / Company and Allied Matters Act
3 Federal Inland Revenue Service Income Tax Clearance Certificate/Company Income Tax Clearance Certificate of the past year
4 Company´s bank statements of the last three months (only stamped and signed bank statements accepted)
5 Letter of introduction from employer
6 Employment contract and pay slips of the last three months
7 Evidence of business in Nigeria and also of former and current transactions in Nigeria and/or abroad (e. g. bills of lading, receipts, contracts)


I am thinking I should just be silent about my freelancing all together and tell them I am unemployed and that I am a prospective student (I have a PhD) admission already (but I am yet to start) in order not to complicate issues for myself. So that I will only have to provide doc 3 (the FIRS revenue Income Tax Clearance) and my Personal bank statements. However, will not providing docs 1, 2,4,5,6,7 above affect my chances? Also, do I really need FIRS revenue Income Tax Clearance (doc 3) since I am not working yet?

I will be looking forward to your comments and answers to the issues raised above. I will also like to have your comment regarding whether I should include being a freelancer or not as I think this will complicate issues for me. Finally, targeted arrival date is Nov 10, when is the best time to book an appointment?

ibrahimdoc:


bro please what are the questions you were asked? will appreciate that.

your purpose for traveling, sponsor, really easy questions.
