Anthonymighty: hello guys, first of all i know this is not a thread for FRANCE visa but i have searched for such thread and didnt see, the only one i saw was about welfare in france and didnt contain alot of posts. Here is my question.

I was recently denied visa to go to france on tourism purpose. Yesterday when i went to pickup my passport at VFS i was given a white paper where they marked 3 different reasons why i was denied but i am still confused because i submitted all authentic and necessary docs. Here are the reasons they gave me so one of you can please explain to me what it means and what i have to do to correct these mistakes because i am planning to re-apply next week.

REASONS ARE AS FOLLOW:

1) You have not provided proof of sufficient means of subsistence, for the duration of the intended stay or for the return of the country of origin or residence, or for the transit to a third country into which you are certain to be admitted, or you are not in a position to acquire such means lawfully. (dont know what this means. meanwhile i have a kenya tourist visa on my passport valid for 3 months but i have not gone.)

2) the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable

3) your intention to leave the territory of the member state before the expiry of the visa could not be ascertained.

Those are the 3 reasons. i really want to work on this reasons but i need to be sure what i am doing this time so i dont get refused for the 2nd time. I await your response my good people. thanks

Vicjustice: Just out of interest, is there any reason that this thread is un-sticked?
I'm concerned because, a lot of people find it helpful as the article answers a lot of questions

rockar: Hi, i want to apply for a uk visa with my blood brother inviting me for xmas holiday and his bday next month.
But reading this thread has really gt me confused because as soon as i finished service last year, my dad gave me the '' power of attorney '' to his company which makes me the director( there is a legal documents backing this up) . He made me a signatory to all the companies account just like i am the owner. The problem now is that i always withdraw money from the companies account. I dont av a personal account.
Company always sponsor family trip, just like when my dad n mum went to visit my brother dis year, they used the company's account for application.
Now i wanna make the application with the company's account which i am a signatory to. Pls what are my chances? I have no actual salary, because i always use the company account for all my expenses.
Please advise.. Thanks

Vicjustice:
Most company's accounts are unacceptable for visa application because, the money in them are strictly for official use only: especially if the company has board of directors or other bodies that make decisions on matters.
But there could be an exception with some few (sole director) companies if the director makes the account flexible to allows for the use of the money for his personal purpose.
If your parents travel abroad with the support of the company's bank account, it therefore means that the visa officer is satisfied that the account is flexible and that the money was available for their use: and most importantly, there had might have been evidences of your parents using the fund for personal purpose prior to their visa applications.

rockar:

Thanks vic.
There is no board of directors. I run everything in the company now. And also the account have been used for my dad n mum's trip before. Im just being cautious, i dont have a personal account that i can submit. I just dont want my passport to have a rejection stain because its my first and i am planning to further my education in canada next year and i guess if im rejected in uk, it might have an effect on being issued Canada student visa.

Pls do u think i can make an application based on everything i have mentioned about my financial status and the purpose of visitation ?

Vicjustice:
I modified my previous post, you might want to look at it again and replace the quote.
I will like to suggest that you apply for the visa as a vacation traveller sponsored by the company as a treat, by this measure, i don't see why you won't be granted a visa.
But since you don't have your own independent account, if you chose to apply using the company's account, though you have a fair (not very good) chance, but don't be surprised if the visa officer finds reasons to refused you on the basis of travelling to the UK using your father's company's account (even though you are in charge): how would you convince the visa officer that you are not going to the UK as a prodigal son, or to turn prodigal whilst in the UK?

I Hate 9ja: Expert's in the house,Pls can i be refused a visa in the nearest future that my name format on my certificate are babalola victor olalekan,while on my passport i av the format as babalola olalekan victor.though babalola is my surname.pls how much does it cost to get a re-issued passport @ abuja.pls wat are my chances here.

Vicjustice:
The format doesn't matter, what matters is the consistencies of the Give/First Name, Middle Name and Last/Sur Name.
But if you mean inconsistencies whereby the Middle Name becomes Last/Sur Name or Give/First Name replaces Middle Name, there that would been seen as identical crises which is a serious issue
