I called there Embassy in Lagos to find out, the agent that spoke to me advice me to re-apply because the home office won't have time to treat an appeal. Anybody with such experience should pls advice.

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone ever got their passport back from VFS within a week of submission. Just curious here, I submitted my application for France last week Friday and tracked today, it shows it's ready for collection at the abuja VFS i submitted today. I was told it takes up to 2 to 3 weeks after submission, this is just too fast and am not sure what the outcome might be . anyone with something similar? I do have great travel history and I included just a copy of my US visa along with my app.

Pls anyone with similar exp. should share.


Thanks!

Appealing is a waste of time because it will never be attended to. They grant virtually every refusal an appeal. The best is just for you to reapply as advised and provide all the defence you made in the appeal with the application. My first france application was refused but when I reapplied some months later pointing out my defence with facts and documents, I was granted 10days then subsequet applications i got 1 month, 3months.

you have a good chance just make sure you submit all official document to boost your chance in addition to the below:

International Passport
PAssport pic
Filled Visa application form
Travel Health insurance
Cover letter stating purpose of trip
Daily Itinerary for the travel days
Flight booking
Hotel reservations
3months statement of account
3months pay slips
Employment letter
Offer lette/Promotion letter
Proof of leave of work for the duration
Photocopies of used visas and current valid visa on passport
All these just to travel to another country?! shocked
Of course, flight booking, hotel reservations, and valid passport requirements are understandable. But I don't get why the others are required for a visitor's visa.

Good evening


Has anyone seeking a family reunion visa ever got a call from France Embassy and been told to meet with a Lawyer outside the embassy before? My neice got a call from France embassy one week after she applied for a Family reunion Visa, she was given a Lawyer phone number to call.. When she called the Lawyer she was told to bring certain amount of money for document verifications...

Has anyone had such experience before? or what can be done in respect to this?

cc : justwise and fellow member of the house...

Please kindly shed some light

Hmmm your niece should call the embassy to confirm, it sounds very much like a scam!

1. You will need to present a letter from the company detailing your sponsorship and how much they intend to sponsor you with(also proof of those funds from your company so your company's bank account should work here). You may also need to present your payslips at least last three months to show proof of employment as well.
2. proof of employment, your company's tax files and any documents that show they do business legally.
3. yes once you are in the Schengen area who can travel to at least 23 or 26 countries, its without border control.

This is not possible as you are required to apply for a visa in your home country or in a country where you a legal resident (not on tourist visa/schengen visa)

France talent visa is basically for tech people who wish to have a start-up in France (I presume it will need a business idea and business plan to get it). You will be given a grant and an office space. Except you are exceptionally good in tech and can run a successful startup, it may be a rocky route.

You can only get a work visa when you have had a job offer from a company and they will have to request for a work permit for you. So yes basically if you get a job.

It's been long since I had mine so I may forget some things;

Introduce yourself
Educational background
Work experience
What school you're going to
How you found the school
What course you're studying
Why you chose the course- this is the point where you talk about your career plans and how it relates to your past experience or education or interest etc. Sha be convincing.
What you plan to do after your studies
Why France
How you plan to pay your fees
Do you speak French.

Basically all the things you wrote in your letter of motivation...

The interview is recorded and sent to the consulate.

The guy is really friendly so just chill...it's not a big deal.

All the best

If you're female and coming to school in Paris, I may be able to share my little studio with you..short term until you find your place. It's not free oh. Also if you are searching for a place to rent, Paris 75 or close suburbs 92,93.94 might be able to help you search and contact landlords, free.

How do you mean right way to go about the statement of account?
I'd say you go to your bank/sponsor's bank and request for 3 months statement. Plus it has to be recent, not longer than 14 days, printed mine a day before my campus France interview just to be on the safe side.

PS: I don't have access to the email I registered with...
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Nobody: 6:22pm On Mar 26, 2017
Is your course in French? Do you speak French which means your tuition will be almost free?
In that case you don't need to show a lot of money... My sponsor's statement had just enough to pay half of my tuition( I had already paid half) and like 2k euro extra and I still got the visa. But there was good and consistent inflow and outflow.
Just saying this so you don't try to doctor your bank statement or deposit large sums in your account before your application.

All the best...

OK I can use sponsors not necessarily with my surname...as I heard that with other sponsors not directly linked to family your visa will be denied
