Can I apply for German tourist visa without any RECENT traveling experience? The last time I traveled was 2009 to the Middle East and Seychelles on my old passport. The old passport data page photo has been affected with water but it's data and passport number remain readable. Now I only have a blank new passport with no visa.
Things I have: a registered company name(enterprises and not LTD), a 6 months statement of 7million naira. I think I can also leave a cash of 1.5 million in the account when applying. My true intention is never to stay in Germany for more than a week(got a lot to do here in naija). Just to stay for a week, then come back and then apply for US visa after 4 months. Pls, what are the things/documents I need as I would want to get them myself, what are my chances? Do I need a recent traveling experience, if yes, can I go to Ghana by road to get their stamp or any Neighbouring country due to cost?

Pls, help as I'm willing to start the process this week and I will be willing to keep everyone posted on the whole process till I go for the interview.
Thanks a million.
