Good morning my pple, pls someone should help me,
1) can one uses this hostel in paris as an hotel reservation: Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
Le Coffice Auberge de Jeunesse
2) can one books appointment at vfs and make payment b4 filling the visa application form? Thanks.

Beverlyhills:
Q1-Yes you may use the hostel reservation. However, in my opinion you book a hotel for the visa application and use the hostel when you get the visa.

Q2- Sure.
Okay, thanks for your response

Sonatapaddy:

2. They ask surname name at birth ( former family name(s) , I never change surname ever , will I put my surname there or not for that option

3 Number of travel documents, what does it means , does it mean by passport number or number of my passport pages

Your first point of call should be the country that gave you visa, you need to use the country's airline or any other non European Airline. If you fly in from Germany, France will deny you visa next time. Call Luftansa Airline to confirm this if you doubt me

HRprof:

If he use a connecting flight from Germany to France because he uses Lufthansa airline, No issue. He will have issue if he travel direct from Nigeria to Germany as his final destination without first landing in france, connecting flight is not first point of call. He must not use country airline that gave him visa, that is misinformation afterall you are still at the airport environment till you connect to your flight. I guess you did not understand what Lufthansa airline said. Every country airline land in their country before connecting their verious passenger to their final destinations and embassy is aware of that.

Soraco57:


Well said, since am connecting from from Frankfurt to Paris, France main destination, so I can use the flight reservation be that , since I will only transit through Germany not coming out of airport

Keet18:
Yes
I just booked appointment recently
Business short stay though

makforex:
Ok thanks, I have done the booking. It was a mistake from my side.
There is an detected error on my submitted form, pls can I fill and submit another form?

unclepauly:
Quick questions guys

Can I apply as a frequent traveller if I have never been to France or Europe (in a manner of speaking)? I have traveled to Canada, US (last travel was late 2019), Turkey (just returned), UAE, Qatar and several African countries. What's do you advise from your experience thus far?
