Thank you for your response. I called them today and they said it was a general issue and it's been escalated.

Preator:
You already booked an appointment with them before( even if unpaid)? Call them to delete that one and you'll be able to apply.

Good evening everyone, I am trying to book an appointment on TLS and keep getting the error below; Who else is having the same challenge and how can this be solved?

Hello house, please how soon can one reapply for the France visa after being denied.

Thank you so much.

workpc:
Guys, i need your help urgently. For frequent travelers , kindly what was the last appointment date for lagos? Please reply asap.

Alright, I'll do just that. Thank you!

davodyguy:
Which one be Yoruba na?

What of those that can't speak Yorùbá? Ejowo óo

Anyway, there's someone here that was denied Italy Visa just because he didn't show up at the embassy after he returned back to Nigeria.

You're very correct.

Once that caveat is there, make sure you come back to the TLS or Embassy upon your return

Thanks a lot.

davodyguy:
Once you exit France, make sure to keep the evidence.

Then when you return to Nigeria, show up with explanation

Thank you for your response.

Please does anyone have any idea what the average turn around time for a short term visa is, I am visiting for a training to be specific.

Thanks a lot for your response. I’ll do just that.

affoncad:
Just fill out the webform and explain the error; that’s all you can do for now.

Hello guys, please help!!!

Please I need your advice people, I applied for the Canadian tourist visa about a week ago on the premise that I want to attend my brothers Convocation in June but I just realized today that I mistakenly put my brothers school address as where l’ll be staying instead of his home address, should I raise a web form for this?

Good afternoon everyone,

Please can someone kindly confirm if I need to fill the form in the screenshot below for my Visitor's Visa application and if yes, where do I upload it?

Thank you!

I tried again on Wednesday and it worked, I was able to schedule an appointment for 12 noon and picked up my passport today. The whole process was pretty fast as I didn't spend more than 20 minutes at the OIS office.

Zeni06:
Hi. Any luck with this issue?
Please use the chrome browser as some browsers don't work properly with the website and use desktop version if you're using your phone.
From the screenshot, it means you've been able to check your status and all. Just select country, select city (VI, Lagos for OIS pickup) select OIS under type and book your appointment.
Let me know how it goes.

I am unable to go past this page after verifying that my passport is ready for pick up. Can you kindly assist on what action to take?

Zeni06:
My interview was on the 5th of December, when I got home I checked the status and it showed "Approved". On the 6th the Status changed to "Issued". I proceeded to check for my passport on OIS website and it kept showing "passport not ready for pickup" until yesterday morning when I checked and it showed "passport ready for pickup". I filled out the necessary information and booked a pick up for this morning. Thankfully pick up is free till the 31st of December.
Hope this answers your question.

I was just explaining what card I used that didn't work, I resorted to using the transfer option and it was confirmed after about 24 hours.

Milito:
Dom card of which bank please??

I'm using that of Access but getting failed. This is even after receiving OTP successfully and entering it.

Thank you so much for your response. I already picked a date in Lagos for December.

OyoTunjiUSA:
🤠

1. Yes if the system allows and accept your booking. But you must go and fill another Lagos- oriented DS -160 to match up. Then take both new and old DS-160s along on the day of your appointment.

🙏

Good evening everyone,
Please I need help with booking my appointment, I chose Abuja when I filled my DS160 form & also on the AVITS site but I can see that there are available dates for Lagos. Can I go ahead and choose an appointment in Lagos instead?
For more context, see screenshot below.

I meant that it kept failing but I have resorted to the FBN option

dasayo:
Hello Adenike,

Your dom card for which bank please? I have tried 2 foreign and 2 local USD cards and it keeps failing.

It's so sad because I may have to forfeit the money paid to First Bank since i am not able to proceed beyond verifying the payment.

Yes I used my dorm card and not Naira.

Adewaale:
Unfortunately, card payment can only be in USD.

I also used an FCMB debit Mastercard and it failed too, can anyone that has used a card successfully mention the bank used.

Smartonyeka:
Dear, pls which bank card worked for you, cos i tried GTB master card(naira) but it failed
