@ Priceless200


If Majority are first timers, kindly redirect to the Spanish Embassy.
The french Embassy isn't accepting first time Applications.

At the Spanish visa Application(BLS), best apply as a group with same itinerary, group tour plans for the Birthday, same accommodation, flight reservation etc.

Kindly avoid these agents and stick to your Birthday getaway tourist visa application.

With the current Covid situations, Trade events/Programs are gradually opening up.




Priceless200:


Hey well done on your contributions here. You re doing so well. Thank you.

I'm planning a birthday getaway with some friends for next month.

Majority are first timers. But comfortably working, earning good monies, single and will surely come back.

How do you think is the best way to arrange our application pls.

An agent said we should each register a program according to our field of work and use it as a reason.

But me on the other hand is asking why can't we just apply normal as a group knowing no one in Europe just on a trip.

I'm confused.

By the way, Spain or France which should we do. Any is OK for us.

@keet18

Apologies for all these. You should avoid these Agents.

When does your UK ban end? What was the Reason for the ban (if you can share it)Lets start from there.

Going by these refusals back to back. You need to take a step back and try building some travel history with some countries with less visa hassles like Dubai, Turkey, Rwanda, etc.

Bros, stop digging a deeper hole for yourself. So many rejections from these countries will only make future applications impossible. Agent caused you 10 years U.K. ban due to fraudulent document, you still went to use agent again for fraudulent business invitation letter for France. You should be thankful that France didn’t ban you too. As it stands now, your chances are zero wether you are doing well in Nigeria or not, doesn’t matter again. Like @beverlyhills advised, you have to take things slow & rebuild your tracks. Start with e-visa/visa on arrival countries like UAE, Lebanon, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, etc. You visit and come back. Do it from now till say 2023, your passport will be filled with arrival visa stickers & entry/exist stamps. So next time you apply to visa required countries, they will see some changes in your travel history and can consider giving you a benefit of doubt. The way you’re going now looks like you’re desperate to japa & not necessarily for tourism purpose, and I highly doubt you will be granted a visa if you reapply asap to France or any first world destination. Goodluck though

Never use agent for visa. I learn to package my visa by myself here and i got it right,
please, should I actually pay for accommodation or just a booking(without payment) on say, Booking.com is ok?
2. Do they accept Airbnb bookings?
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by OmoWorld: 3:00pm On Oct 10, 2021
Please bro, never go through any agent again... they have damage people's lives... I believe you are in a right channel now ( nairaland ) to prepare for your next travel package. So I will advise you to suspend your visa application until early next year. That is best advise I can give you.

France is attending to frequent traveller, if you have travelled before you should know package your application if not a frequent traveller no need applying exception of business visa.

Meanwhile, you do not need to pay for accommodation, you can only book and pay at the hotel use the print out for your application and AirBnB always request for pay while booking not advisable using them because you can not pay for accommodation when you have not gotten visa except if is refundable.

Oh so you mean, you didn’t actually travelled to those countries? UK sef get time with this their research and findings… what annoys me most about UK is the way you have to explain every little details of inflow and outflow of cash in your account statement.

You’re only subjected to that because you have no or insufficient travel history & thus, they can’t actually prove that you are only going to “take photos at London Bridge” and go back to your country. It’s all about the perspective on how we view things. I followed this thread to get info on my mum’s visa application. She picked up her passport last week with 7 months multiple entry stamped (1st time applicant). There’s no paid flight or hotel booking. She didn’t even submit any property ties or business registration documents or other bogus stuff just to prove her visit. But she has valid 10 years uk visa, 2 years valid US visa & Canada visa with clear entry/exit stamps. So they already know she’s a genuine visitor.

Don’t blame these countries when they’re strict with the visa processing. If uk allowed everyone to come, it wouldn’t be an ideal place to visit anymore. You may have pure intentions, but there’s no way to know than to vet you properly because others have been given such opportunity and they misused it. Undocumented immigrants are dangers to a country.

So it’s best you do what you can, to gain their trust (to avoid explaining your statement). Build up your travel history and design your passport with stamps, before targeting countries like US, Uk and the rest.

Unfortunately, you had this issue and it has dented your reputation with the U.K..
You may qualified now, but you will be properly scrutinised.

What you can do? asides of your financial stability, see if you can get a schengen or US visa or one of the top Asian countries, visit and come back, then retry U.K. Why, because considering your situation, SA as you tagged “ordinary”, Turkey/Gambia visas may not really be enough to prove you’re a genuine traveller to the U.K (because getting a visa to these countries are not really difficult). Also apply from Turkey instead, since you have residence there, that could help. All the best brother.
