Hi everyone,

I applied for my short stay study visa last week Tuesday and got an update on Friday that it's with the embassy.

Today, my host University called the embassy and they said my passport was picked up yesterday but I am yet to get any update from vfs abuja (via email or text).

I paid for courier as well and I am to travel to France this Sunday.

Do you think my passport will get to me on time?

For those who have applied in the past, how long did it take to get your visa couriered from Abuja to you in states such as Rivers State?

I will also try calling vfs tomorrow, hopefully they will be willing to courier it on time.

Thank you for your help

Hey bro,

When I applied via VFS Abuja the only option when paying was the Long Stay/Short Stay visa (sort of a catch-all category), however, on the France Visas site I chose the short-stay visa; the plan is study and purpose, student/examination entry

I did not use a cover letter since it was not one of the requirements

You should not book any Flights till you get the visa.

Use your cover letter to explain the benefits and breakdowns so the visa officer can understand better.




Hi! Got the visa. Thank you �

For anyone who has been to France recently, is the covid test still required for fully vaccinated travellers?
Also, is the booster shot requirement enforced and is it true that it is to be taken nine months after the last covid vaccine shot?

I didn’t do any covid test and I also think it has to do with the airline , confirm from your airline too

Hello bro, did you later get your passport to PH today cuz I applied on Tuesday as well, i tried tracking mine is still saying passport sent to french embassy on 27th..

Hey bro, mine as well, till I received it was still saying sent to the french embassy (even now).

What I did was, I called VFS this morning and enquired about my passport.

I told them my host institution informed me that my passport was picked up from the embassy and sent to them on Tuesday this week.

They asked for my tracking number and tracked it.
They said it's been sent to Port Harcourt.

I then googled the UPS number in Port Harcourt. I called them and they said it was with the dispatch rider. I got his number and called the not so enthusiastic rider and insisted that I get it today.
That was how I received it in the afternoon.

My advice is:
Check your document and use the tracking number to track it.

If possible, add your number and email to the UPS tracking site to get updates (you will get the most detailed one via this method).

If what played out today is any indication of how things work, then VFS takes forever to update and you may have to do some things yourself and add pressure if you want your passport.

Hope this helps and sorry about the long winded response.
