I just got my passport today and 1 year multiple visa was issued and this is my first application

Zoey1:
Congratulations.
Please give us details of how you got that long duration.

Mak16788:
I did normal application with 1 year insurance, but i have 10 years UK Visa and Canada Visa. I know two people that were also giving 1 year Visa on their first application but they all have 10 years UK visa.

Ikebabay:
Thank you!

Sure
- Cover letter with itinerary/reason for travel/summary of my travel history and how I intend to fund the trip
- Coloured photocopies of past visas, entry and exit stamps
- Hotel booking (booking.com with free cancellation. You need to add a card though and I added a USD card)
- Flight booking (Qatar Airways with 72 hours book and hold. I did not pay for the ticket)
- Travel Insurance from AXA Mansard (paid less than 5k for a 1 week duration)
- Account statements. I run a business so I submitted both personal and business statements. I asked the bank to print and they charged about N25 per page. One of the banks said they don't print so I had to print that myself.
- Bank reference letters stating how long I have had the account and that I am the sole signatory to the accounts. The reference letter costs roughly N600 per bank
- Coloured photocopies of business registration documents and printout of latest tax payment

Hanihani:
@Atatukseeker please, can you inbox me the two countries ? France denied me today their reason is that they doubts I will return when the visa expires . This is absurd . I await to read from you . Thank you in anticipation

LadyCaplin:
Congratulations!

Can someone assist by providing the current visa fees in addition to any other costs charged by TLS?

I applied in 2022 and I am sure this would have changed from then.

Thank you

Good day everyone. Can someone guide me on how to go about collecting my passport from the French Consulate? I applied for a visitor's visa since April 19 and I am yet to get a response. Though I called the embassy last Monday and I was asked to send an email which I did and 2 days later I checked in with TLS and I was told my passport was yet to be returned. Now I need that passport very urgently for another trip before the visa expires. How do I go about this?

esdajo:
Visa fees as of April 19 was 123,550. Appointment booking would cost almost 49k then travel health insurance. Just budget like 200k for everything.

Good morning,
I mistakenly booked an appointment for Tuesday and the payment failed and now I have been trying to modify it but to no avail.
Can I create a different application and choose my required day using same email or i should create another email?

Zoey1:
1. You can’t use same email
2. It won’t allow you attach same passport and phone number.
3. Make another application with another email, then call TLS, it will be submitted for you and appointment made.
4. The other one will expire in 10days .
5. I don’t know why they refused to cancel or give an option to do that rather than make applicants go through all these.

Iblessed09:


Thank you so much.
Can I still use the same reference I.D I got from France website after applying or both have to be different emails.
Thank you for your response.

Zoey1:

It won’t accept it either.
I guesss you have to start all afresh.

Iblessed09:


Wonderful.
Tls needs to modify their website.

Thanks for your time.

KingWarri:

What about flight cost?

Nonamexxx:
Good afternoon Nairalanders.
Please I need your help. There are certain documents I want to go submit in France (for school) and the school didn't give me an invitation letter. They said I should apply for a tourist visa. The problem is I'm not working and I'm just about to apply for a university. My mother is the one footing everything. Please guys when applying for tourist visa can a sponsor be used? Can I submit my mother's bank statement alongside my own bank statement stating the sufficient amount of money needed for the duration of my stay is in my account? Please let me know. It's kind of urgent. If for a 1 week/10 day visa.

Iblessed09:


Please thread with caution.
I see no reason why a school will ask you to apply for a tourist Visa just to submit some documents.
Kindly do a check on the school you are in contact with to avoid fraud issues. Hope dem never send invoice for you to make payment sha?
Over to the house...
