For the frequent travelers , there is even date from June 29th, Lagos
As seen In this picture , that I took 7:42am, May 27th.
Atinukemi23:
Hello House, I have completed the France applications for family of 4, one adult and 3 underaged.
On Tls for Lagos at about 6:am today the 27th there is no slot at all for the month of June only from the beginning of July - aug although travel dates is end of Aug but because of school break is in 2weeks as the oldest of the underage is over the age of 12 so physical appearance is required for biometrics.
Are there any chances in getting a cancellation for June ? I know the olympics thing has increased slot demand and even if there may be cancellation it may be for one applicant and we are 4 or should we just go with first week in July before its all taken and keep checking if dates can be amended ?

Keeping fingers crossed!

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Atinukemi23: 11:14am On May 27
Wawu!
Maybe because we are first time traveler ?
I checked again still showing july.
No May and No June at all.
Is it because it is a Large Family of 4 ?
And maybe those slots available are for single or less than 4 applicant ?
Still hoping we wouldn't have mind the end of May.

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Zoey1: 12:01pm On May 27
It’s because you are a first time traveler to Schengen.
You can check other countries and go to France from there.

After pre-consular interview is submission at TLS. Please how much is tls collecting for appointment booking, visa fee, courier fees within Abuja and service charges for long stay study in France?
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Atinukemi23: 8:44am On May 28
please for those who have a dummy account for booking, is there any appointment for Abuja?

We are first timer hence we were only seeing slots from July (Lagos) but will it be different with Abuja ?
We are happy to Fly to Abuja if there will be any slot for June.
Many thanks.

Good morning, please do not book flight yet o, just make a reservation for the purpose of the trip, a travel agent should be able to help you, they shouldn’t collect more than N5k from you.
Secondly, you can surely add your pension certificate and all relevant docs that will help your application
Lastly, I doubt if there is Appointment date till July in Lagos for now. So work within that period when making your flight reservation and hotel booking. Wishing you best of luck

I think it depends on the bank. You may try Stanbic IBTC USD Mastercard.

Zoey1:
Thanks.
Dont understand why the USD didn’t work.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Zoey1: 3:38pm On May 28
I have several banks not less than 4 and none is going through and I used same on booking.com

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Atinukemi23: 11:57am On May 29
I almost paid yesterday morning for Lagos, and it reserved it for 2hrs and waiting for me to make payment, I wanted another date so I did not carrying on with the date and after 2hrs the booking window was opened.

I checked abuja and for first timer there was 27th and 28th of June and for Lagos no June only from the 9th of July till end of August.

Although the website glitched few times.
Keep trying.

Good morning my fellow people. Pls I want to apply for a Schengen visa. I need your advice on which of the countries I should go with and how to go about it. I understand things have really changed on how it was initially. I am clueless on which of the Schengen countries to apply for. I want to visit: Spain (not certain about this country), Germany, Greece and france. Kindly list the steps on how to go about the visa process.I’ve been to many countries and I currently have uk and Canadian visa. I have also been to Spain (2017). But for this trip I’m not sure if I will wanna visit Spain again. If there is time. I will def stop by in Spain.

Waiting on your detailed response . Thank you

Apply through France with all necessary documents including a well detailed cover letter that contains your daily itinerary/activities in France. With your Valid UK and Canada Visa you're likely to get 1year visa.

I just got my second France Visa yesterday. Tell me why they gave me a 2weeks Multiple entry visa 😭😫 even though my first visa was 1month, I thought I would be getting more duration this time around.

Do you think it has something to do with it? This my most recent application, my insurance was only for 11 days yet they gave me 5yrs visa.
I really don’t know how they make these decisions. I fit faint if I see 2 weeks 😂

Don’t go about judging people.
Did you read the part where it was stated the last visa was for one month.
Doesn’t the applicant have the right to want a progression?
The people that are getting 1year, 2years, 5years didn’t they pay same rate ? Do they have 2heads.
Whatever she wishes after paying the embassy such huge sum , gathering mammoth documents is her choice and right.

Nairaland and wahala.
Na wa!
I Don dey hear sir.
How many I don judge for here wey you see?


Just a comment made on a lighter note, nothing serious.


Lastly, whatever the embassy grants you, take it like that.
Remember that visa issuance is at the discretion of the consular and they don't owe anyone a stipulated number of days because embassies have a quota and they work with it.

I will continue to engage as many as possible here constructively it relates based on my travel exposure.

Your remarks are noted, have a good day.

Where did you see me complaining? Ehn I.T.K... I was only surprised that I could get a lesser duration after previously getting 1month. The 1month was single entry and this 2weeks is Multiple entry. I'm not even going to spend more than 10days on my trip.
