I do business oh and someone said they don’t give now , I should hold on , is that true ?

mialate:
Please did you read her initial post where she stated she has a good inflow and outflow?



quote author=HRprof post=110695949]

If you have a business and your bank account is busy with frequent transaction, it does not matter if there is huge current balance, people go to the embassy with 20 million account balance and still get refusal. Embassy look at the inflow as in constant transaction in the statement of account. I got my visa with 500k current balance but have total inflow of 10 million within 3 months , that’s what they consider most otherwise it will look as if you lodge in the money to get visa

Aaaaarghmed:
thank you very much.can I Dm you

HRprof:


Sorry DM doesn’t work for me here but you can ask any question here if I cannot answer other guru’s might respond to your question

Aaaaarghmed:
ok,apart from study ,work or marriage route, is there any other way to immigrate to france permanently

HRprof:


If she doesn’t have inflows then is better advise to run the account with constant inflows and outflows to build confidence with visa office that shows she is actually doing business not otherwise

Ladybii:
Ok so my personal account i made sure , it just gets ny salary , the one i pay myself monthly while my business account has very good inflow and outflow but the issue is, attimes i withdraw almost everything in my businessacct to buy goods for sale, but my personal is very ok with like 3m plus .
So i was thinking of just applying wt my husband alone , leaving behind my kids.
Im just confused but i will save more, trying to avoid transfer of unexplainable funds, thats why

HRprof:


No 8 is not necessary
No 11 is not compulsory but if you have no problem. I applied with my CAC without Tax document and I still get it.

Osoderi:
Hello house for those in the UK, which is the easiest and cheapest way to travel to France. Is it through air or Eurostar?

Can some one visit France like say tomorrow and come bk the next day to London?

Then is there and COVID restrictions when one get to France from the uk?

Thank you for your responses

HRprof:

As far as you are doing business it is possible to use all the money in your account for business purpose sometimes is not an issue since there is constant inflow and outflow in the account.
Ensure the salary you pay yourself from your business account reflects to your personal account . The reason for including your business statement of account is to show your business impact but your personal account will be considered. Also include your husband account statements if possible.
Explain in your statement of purpose letter that you are the sponsor for the trip
3m account balance is okay and if you get other documents right it might fly.
If your account is not build enough for the whole family trip you can consider you and your husband trip for now.

Beverlyhills:
3m isnt sufficient for 2 Adults. When you state you had N 500k was this your First or Second Visa.

Do a rough estimate and see if it works for

Flight - N 350,000 x 2= N 700,000( KLM- Eco) this is an example.
Hotel- N 450,000 (Depends on the Arrondissement you choose though) maybe cheaper
.
Feeding & Shopping- N ??

This is taking almost N 2,000,000 already.

You have kids back home, a business and expenses to take care of after the trip.

As Said already run the business for more funds
. Except you have some money market funds which can be liquidated to cash then you are good with the N 3M.

Beverlyhills:

No 8 is totally right. Family proof here in the case of a married person is their marriage Certificate, birth certificate of your kids.

If you are Single, please attach pictures this goes to show you have a family here.

No 9, if you have paid Personal Tax on Direct Assessment please include and if you dont have some Tax filings ignore it.


quote author=HRprof post=110696238]

No 8 doesn’t guarantee you visa, they know you have family here either you put family pictures or not, as a single person is not necessary they will not see it as anything , nobody is born without family naaa. They know that you can still abscond with tourist visa even when showing family picture they can take it serious if you are married, that is what they regards as FAMILY TIES. But as for married people you can show your family picture as evidence you are married if you are traveling alone not that is part of required documents.

No 8 is not necessary
No 11 is not compulsory but if you have no problem. I applied with my CAC without Tax document and I still get it.

Last year I submitted visa application at Abuja on tourist visa with invite from my friend in Paris
Meanwhile, during submission was told to go to Lagos because I came from ph or I sign a document which I choose to sign few week later after submission I got a rejection.

My friend appeal for me in france but we didn't receive any approval till date. I suspected that I was refuse because my invite wrote he will be sponsoring me and provide accommodation but he didn't get attestation for that purpose and French embassy will never disclose that to the applicant as a must in the rejection letter.

Fast toward to last week 24th Feb. I apply in Lagos for a conference.

Document submitted;

Visa Application
Conference invitation and payment conformation of the conference.
CAC documents for my 2 businesses
3 Statement Of account for both business and personal account
Insurance from aiico
Land document
Hotel reservation from expedia, I book hotel closer to the conference venue
flight itiniary
Statement Of purpose written by me
Confirmation letter from my employee confirming that i am the M.D. of the company on my business letterhead.
Professional membership license.
Membership certificate as a member of the international organization hosting the conference.

Visa approve
one months single Entry

mialate:

So you stating caterogically you had N 500k in all these 3 statement of account?

mialate:
Thank you Beverlyhills, sometimes we wonder why an application is thrown out.

Atleast i remember vividly when i used a N 650k balance with very good inflow and outflow first time to the German Embassy in 2017. During the interview , my interviewer a guy advised me to look through my application again. I told him No just Put it in, let me try my Luck too. He said Ok your Choice.The next day after my Interview, a DHL personnel reached out. God ooo, these people sent me a refusal letter with insufficient funds story even when i had an Invitation.

My Reasons then for doing that was because my Friend and her sister did same with a low balance but had been to Schengen region.

Moral Lesson:

Excellent Inflow and Outflow with low Balance without any back up funds like Beverly Hills stated is risky.

HRprof:


I was Employed and had a Business as well.

Please a salary Earners may abscond yes so also business owner. Afterall, there are business men and women running their business outside Nigeria.

What works for Visa officer A may not work for Visa officer B.





Did you apply as a business owner or salary earner?
Don’t follow same strategy used by business owner to package your visa application as a salary earner, visa officers assess it differently.
They know that it is possible for a salary earner to abandon his job and abscond to foreign land but difficult for a business owner to abandon his business, even if it happen but they assumed is not possible. Business persons tend to get visa easily than salary earner except you occupied sensitive positions in a recognized institution. Mind you bankers still get denied
