The last time I went there, they didn't allow me in because I didn't have an appointment, so I told them it was for inquiries, they asked to see my passport. So my take, I don't think you can walk in without appointment.
This happened to me too, tho not summit,I wanted to travel in September, so I filled forms in July and the earliest appointment date they had as at July was in September. So I had to cancel everything and shifted my travel to October n booked the September appointment date.
But if its that urgent, check out Lagos state, they usually have more flexible dates...


Hello Everyone,
Pls do we have anyone here with contrary opinion and/or experience?

Hi
I wish to also apply for transit visa to Netherlands pls can u give more details and submitted documents for this application?
Can I go in for a walk in considering the fact that appointment date is too far from intended travel date?

If you can afford it then go to Lagos and apply there.

I wanted to do Abj, earliest date I got as at early August/late july was mid September, had to opt for Lagos.

Hi,

I am puzzled at how people relocate to a country without visiting first!
Why would anyone want to relocate on a visit visa?
No wonder a lot of people who had an American B1/B2 Visas, UK visit Visas and even Schengen Visas stayed back and many people back home congratulated them for the new relocation and making it overseas.

If you don't know, personally, i met some Nigerians abroad who are stranded and wished they had just visited and returned.

You are gradually making visas difficult for the genuine visitors, if you don't know, these guys have records of people who had overstayed their visas, thus, gradually amending/tightening borders for the genuine visitors.

Please if you want to relocate, go through the Study, Investment etcetera route, or if you have a family in the member state, they can file for you legally.

Stop overstaying your visit visas and someday let us be eligible for visa free to the EU if we act well.

Regards,

On this same question, the forms for the kids, who signs them? Kids below 18. Is it signed by one parent or both parents?
And if they are travelling with only one parent, what are the requirements, please and thank you.

I think it is being sign by both parents base on my findings, gurus in the house can give more clarification.

Hi,

Either of the parents can sign it.

You will need a consent letter from her and explain why she won't be joining the trip at this time.

I hope this helps?

Wow it’s like France does not take time in processing visa. Biometrics on Tuesday , visa out on Friday.

I was given 6 months, shocked though cus all my schengen visas have been less than a month.

Did you included evidence of Covid vaccination?
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by ebysuper: 8:33pm On Sep 04, 2021
Hi Everyone, does anyone know if France is accepting first time traveler appointments? I tried to make an appointment in Lagos but no availability. Abuja on the other hand has some openings for short stay but it didn't specify if it's for first time travelers or not. Has any first time travelers gotten visa lately? or they are only giving frequent travelers?
