Hello all, the embassy said I should report to VSF on the 12th of July 2022. My visa is until 23rd of July.
I intended traveling on the 28th of June.
What if I travel at a later date and return after 12th of July? Will there be implications if I present myself at VSF after 12th of July?
someone should please respond to this.

They gave you the 12th because you mentioned on your application that you will be back to NG before the 12th yeah? So to avoid hindering further applications, return before the 12th and show at the embassy or write to the embassy now on the travel date change.

Yes, it is super fast to get in at the airport. COVID 19 regulations have been removed. . I got my place through Airbnb. Accommodation is a bit hard to get inside Paris. You can check for places outside of Paris but within 30 minutes. Maybe your employer can help.

It depends on what you stated you are traveling for . If you mention you’re traveling for an event you need to appear on the date they stated for you because you should have return by the according to the information you supply on your application but if you are traveling for vacation is possible the date might change so go to embassy whenever you return and explain to them you have change of plan and travel date change as result of that. The most important is to return and not to over stay your visa. No big deal

I love Italy! So I would lean towards Rome, if you are religious too, Rome is a good option for some sort of spiritual retreat. Barcelona and Madrid are quite lovely(I haven't been to Barcelona or Madrid but I have heard great things). In Amsterdam you can really LIVE....

Hello,

Please I need urgent help. My scheduled date of travel on the France Visa application form is 12th June, 2022 and I’m on the VFS portal for appointment booking and the earliest date for appointment is 9th June.

Obviously my visa wouldn’t be approved before my departure date. Would that have an effect on the decision?

Do I have to start a new application?

Silent reader here.

So I'm a first time traveller to the Schengen area but a frequent traveller to other places eg UK, US, etc.

Timeline: Went for biometrics on 17 May
Visa Issued 20 May
Picked up today 24 May

Submitted:
Bank Statements
Letter from employer
Personal letter of introduction
Pension statement
Share statement
Employment and confirmation letters
Office Id
Insurance
Accommodation and flight bookings
Travel itinerary

With a single entry visa I can still visit multiple Schengen countries but can't leave and re-enter with the same visa abi?

Hello all. Biometrics were submitted just last Wednesday, May 18th and we've just received text notification that the passports have been dispatched back to VFS from France Embassy. Fear dey catch me...my heart just dey jump "gbim gbim gbim". The processing was so fast, just 3 business days - does it mean that the visas were denied? Surely, they would have taken more time if they were going to say yes and approve? I'm shaking...please house what do you think?

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by ChrisRocks: 5:50pm On May 24, 2022
Congrats. Please can you confirm how long your visa is? And in response to your question, a single entry only allows you to enter the Schengen area once. So if you visit a Schengen country and then go to the UK for example, you can't enter the Schengen area again.

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Portblueholland: 7:10pm On May 24, 2022
Hi all,

I have a question. I was trying to book an online appointment for my mother at VFS lagos but it seems they don't have any spot for " short stay/family visits first time traveller" but since she has been abroad three times already in the past I decided to book "short stay frequent traveller" I hope this won't be a problem? she has never been to the EU/Schengen and its her first time and I really need her here next month to take care of my baby. I am also having issue with flutterwave they won't accept my credit card ;
