Hi!

Thank you


It looks like for card payment, you can only pay in USD. The info below is copied from the new site. You can read up by checking under the "non-immigrant visas tab" under "visa fees and payment"


Visa Fee Payment Options
Before paying the visa fee, you need to sign up on this website and start the scheduling process. Once you have selected the visa type and provided the personal details, you will be able to choose between the following payment options:

- Cash payment or electronic funds transfer in local currency at First Bank of Nigeria; or
- Card payment in USD.

- Bank Deposit option (Cash or Electronic Transfer (EFT)): When accessing this payment option, you must generate and download a payment deposit slip by clicking on the ''Generate'' button accessible on the screen. Follow the instructions on the deposit slip to make a cash payment at the bank or EFT payment through online banking. These payments are to be made in local currency only. There are two pieces of information on the deposit slip that are extremely important for a successful payment:

*Transaction Reference Number – You must indicate it accurately when making the payment. This number will allow the appointment system to validate your visa fee payment and allow you to proceed further with the visa application process.
*Expiration Date – You have three (3) days to pay the visa application fee from the date you generate the deposit slip. Please check the expiration date on the deposit slip and ensure you pay the fee before the mentioned expiration date. If the slip expires, please log back into your profile and generate a new one by following the same steps. After making a payment via Cash or EFT, please allow one business day for the bank to process the transaction before continuing to the appointment calendar to book an appointment.

- Card Payment option: When accessing this payment option, you will be prompted to introduce your card details to complete the transaction. This payment is to be made in USD only. There is no wait time for the transaction to be processed. Upon completing a successful transaction, you will be able to proceed immediately to the appointment calendar to book an appointment.

Hello,

I've been attempting to schedule a submission date for my application. Although it appears that all dates are available, I'm unable to select any date. Even when choosing December, it doesn't progress to the next stage. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.



Are you a frequent traveler ?

Duration of stay is different from the expiration date of the visa. It's possible the 10 days you are talking about is the duration of stay. Check the expiration date. It's usually from one month.

No it’s not

I’ve picked up the passport with the visa

It was 10 days validity so it expires in 3 day 🤣🤣🤭. Waste of money and effort

They also asked me to report back when o come back from my trip. So I told them at TLs that I won’t be able to travel so they noted it

I’ll apply again . Hopefully they give me . This one wasn’t my fault

Thank you Thelma , If not for your reply, my passport would still be sitting at TLS
It was issued since 5th October

Yes. My colleagues submitted on this date at VFS for French visa (first time Travellers) and they’ve gotten their passports

Note! Most of them weren’t contacted and I guess this is largely due to the transition to TLS. They just stormed TLS claiming they received phone calls and voila, their passports were there and had been there for a while. They had to do this because their travel dates were so close. One person got a call though out of 8 smiley. So do with this info what you will


Tls in lagos ?

I’m not based in Lagos or Abuja . I submitted at Vfs Victoria island lagos . Which of the TLs office did they go to ? Trying to figure out which of the office I’ll go to

Also when did they go to pick it and do you have any idea whom I’ll speak to when I go there?

Who has passed this shege?


Go to the tls site

Click on Ive filled application form you’ll be prompted to create an account

If you have created one , log in . You’ll select Abuja centre or lagos etc the page acts funny from this point

So

On the top of the website , you’ll seeea drop down menu , open it, click log in again , you’ll be asked to accept terms . Then after that you’ll see a page to create an application. Dates are going fast

As at 3 days ago, I saw October 20th

Something is really bothering me and I want to share it here and know what you guys think.

This japa process has not been easy, the expenses involved is really choking me. I didn't have up to 50,000 naira before I started this journey. My friends from rich homes were applying for admission, I didn't dare do the same because I know I don't have that kind of money but they kept telling me I should just apply and get admission first, that I can never tell, a miracle may happen.

Reluctantly, I applied and by God's grace I got admissions. Just as my friends said, miracle started happening. I started getting support from friends in form of loan. Initially my budget was 9 million naira but after after the hike in FX rate, my new budget became 13 million.

Things started getting tough. I remembered my rich brother. I didn't want to involve him Initially because I know he will not give me. But I was stuck so I just had to involve him. So I called him and told him everything, told him the budget is 13 million, that he should please help me with whatever he can afford, even if it's a loan. He said it's 500k he can afford.

I know my brother can afford 13 million but I wasn't asking him for 13 million. I told him that 500k cannot do much for me, that he should please make it 1million. He insisted on 500k, I later accepted. He said I should call him after one month for the 500k. I called him after one month and still pleaded that he make it 1million but he refused. I had to even start begging for him to send me the 500k. Two weeks later, he sent it.

My problem now is that I feel so bad that this my brother has not picked his phone and called me for once to ask how is the japa process going, no concern, no interest. If I call him to greet him, there's always this silence, like when you're forcing someone to talk to you and he would never ask me how far.

Right now, I just feel like returning the 500k he gave me because it feels like I forced him to give me that money. I have his bank details and I've told myself that two days before I leave, I'll send him back the money, telling him that I feel he is unhappy because he gave me the money so I thought I should return it.

What do you guys think? Should I just keep the money and move on or should I send it back to him.


You sound very entitled saying he has the 13mil and can’t give you . I’m sure he’s exhausted having to take care of everyone since he is the one with money.

Also, why should he call to ask about the process when he knows it will require extra money that he doesn’t have to spare ?

Returning the money is rude and if I were your brother , you’ll never see a penny from me again after you return the money.

I’ve seen and know how families suck out the life of the only person who has money in the family . Cut your brother a break and go figure out your life by yourself.

Mr, Please make peace with your wife.

I don't meddle in issues between a man and a woman.

I've been in the marriage institution for 28 years with 3 grown up children. I know enough about marriages and I believe there is more to this. We are only reading your own side of the story. We have not heard your wife's side of the story so we cannot JUDGE.

She is your wife. Tell her everything you know. At most, seize her passport. I won't advise you to report her. It will get really messy and might even affect you too in future.

I pray God grants you the wisdom to deal with this appropriately.


Thank you for sounding reasonable

We are supposed to believe a woman is doing all this to you without any cause

I suggest he calls his family elders and they should settle their issue .

I find it hard to believe someone is forging document and planning to kidnap a child for no cause .

I’m using Victoria island center, please how did you fix the problem with the phc center? I’m having the same challenge with this Victoria island center the payment is in pounds and no card will work, the payment method is with Realex payment

Okay I don’t know about realex payment. Are you trying to pay for priority or super priority? That’s when it shows pounds I think . The people who were able to pay for this should be able to enlighten you

For mine, I sent an email to TLS , they didn’t reply on time so I cancelled that application and changed my centre to Abuja .

Please how else can I book my appointment? I live in Benin city and all my payments are unsuccessful


What centre are you trying to book the appointment?

Also tls site uses PAYU so the amount you see trying to pay has to display in naira . I see you mentioned something about usd card

If the amount is in naira, any naira MASTERCARD will work

I had this issue when I tried using phc centre . The money was only displayed in pounds and no card worked . Not even card from UK
