With france visitor visa can I also visit another schegen country.

Yes so far it's valid ,but you must first arrive in paris first from Nigeria.
If it is a single entry once you are in schengen zone don't go out of the zone because you will be deny entry.
If it's multiple entry you can visit the schengen zone anytime so far your visa is still valid.

Good day everyone. Please, my wife and kids intend to visit France for the Christmas holidays for a period of 20 days and I have the following questions:

1. Can they apply now being first time travelers or are applications only opened to frequent travelers?

2. I am the one sponsoring the trip so I would like to know if I should transfer the fund to my wife's account or just write a cover letter explaining that I am one the financing the trip whilst including my wife's and I bank statements plus evidence of trading as I am a business person and shes a teacher?

3. How do I get valid itinerary and hotel reservations for the trip without paying for them? Any website where I can have all these done at once?

4. As for the requirement of "Reservation confirmation of an organised trip or any other document describing the planned programme", how do I prove this? Is reserving booked tours enough or I have to explain in detail what trips they intend to embark on during their stay?

5. Most importantly, is there a requirement of 10 days for quarantine upon landing in France?

Your answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate.
I have not gotten any mail yet, I will be waiting. When is your flight? If its close enough, maybe that's why, mine is upper Tuesday. Maybe there is a timeline for the mail?
Thank you
HRprof:


I receive an email from Airfrance today so I am clarified about the covid test I can now save my money for the test as fully vaccinated passenger. You too should have receive the mail as well as an update.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Alexie89: 6:47pm On Oct 01, 2021
The little I know...
1) there is a timeline to tourist/short stay application, you can get some informations on https://france-visas.gouv.fr/en_US/web/france-visas/visa-application-guidelines

2) there is a place in the form, where she can state that she is being sponsored, by who n by what means. Then you can bring your statement of account, passport data page n etc. She will also state in a cover letter that you are sponsoring her and also a good reason as to why you are not going with them. You will also add a consent letter for your kids, and marriage certificate n along with the normal requirements

3) Somewhere on this thread, someone answered this, if you have time on your hands, you can read through September messages, someone posted the solution on here

4) In my experience, I just booked 3 tours from viator.com. someone gave me the idea on this platform too. Just made a reservation for 3 different tours and added them to my itinerary in the cover letter I wrote, mine was just 2weeks, so I didn't need to add much.

5) for non vaccinated travellers, yes... but then again you must have a pressing ground for travelling if you are not vaccinated. Only vaccinated people, can enter without the isolation or quarantine

Hope this helps a little...

It is not connecting, poor network in my area i guessed. I will call them back in few minutes time.
Pls, do you have idea if airfrance has specified covid-19 test lab for Nigerian travelers.
Or they accept test result from any FG approved covid-19 test labs.

Hello, I'm in same situation, I'm traveling on Tuesday, please when is the right time to take a covid test? Please.

Tho I'm fully vaccinated but based on general requirements, and to be on the safe side, I will rather do test and not need it, than need it and not have it. To avoid stories that touch. Lol. Please advice me on the right time to do the test of my flight is for Tuesday 7:45pm.

I heard something about fully vaccinated people signing a sworn declaration, please can anyone clarify on that.

Thank you


Airfrance too

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by esdajo: 5:48pm On Oct 04, 2021
Larned colleague, kindly take out items 14 and 21. 14 most especially cos it would cast an aura of doubt on your intended trip. Item 14 is not really necessary since they can verify if you have been vaccinated using the information on the Vaccination card but its all up to you if you think it the embassy would attach any weight to it.
