Is it a family application? What country? France or Italy?
Normally once you are able to get, they should get too.

Had the same issue when I wanted to apply,I had agents charging me 50k for appointment or walk-in, and we were 3 (2 of my kids and I, even knowing fully well that kids below 6 dont need to come for the appointment, they basically charged me 150k, smh, i ran tho) I called the tls contact number and told them I couldn't book an appointment, they were able to get me the nearest date that was available.

Try calling and hear what they say.

Hi Everyone. Please is there anyone here that has an idea how I can book an appointment for an Italian visa?.
Travel / Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Alexie89: 5:49pm On Jun 18, 2023
It's not advisable to pay for a ticket before your visa is granted... you can always use a certified travel agent and for like 2 or 3k, they can hold a booking for you.
It's quite risky.



seankafor:
on the flight ticket.. dis you already booked and paid for the ticket before you got visa?

If yes, what if you were denied? What would have been the fate of the ticket you booked

Visa alert !!
Applied with my kids for 10 days single entry visa to France.
Biometrics - 8th June
Pick up mail - 15th June
6 months multiple entry visa granted to all.
Documents submitted:
Flight booking
Disney hotels/park entry booking
Letter of Introduction which shows our itinerary for our 8 days trip (separate letter for each child).
Sponsorship letter for the kids
Birth cert for kids
Consent letter for the kids (signed by both parents)
Copy of parents passport data page
University ID card for my adult child, school fees receipt for the younger ones.

Personal usd account statement with 4,000usd balance.
Photocopy of every visa we have ever had both on old passports.
Prior to this, we all have valid 10yrs UK visa, US and Canada visas.

In my opinion, the documents they require for such a short term visa is quite much, there should be a platform where you submit these documents electronically not printing them all out. We are a family of 5 and believe me it wasn’t easy.

Good morning to everyone in the house. So, I'm putting finishing touches on my family's visa application as we are to submit next week. However, I want to know if my documents' arrangements are in order. They are stated below:

1. Myself:

Receipts and invoices from my business
Property documents (solely in my name)
Itinerary and hotel reservation
Booked tours (from viator.com)
A letter of introduction for myself
Previous U.S and Schengen visas
Family pictures
Kids' birth certificates


2. My partner:

Visa application form
Bank statements (salary and monthly stipend (from me) account for family upkeep)
Pay slips
Property documents (solely in my name)
Itinerary and hotel reservation
Booked tours (from viator.com)
A letter of introduction for her self
Letter from her employer
Employment and promotion letters
Affidavit for change of name and newspaper publication
A letter of introduction from me confirming that I will be the one financing the trip 100%
My bank statements (business and personal) since I am the one sponsoring the trip

Family pictures
Kids' birth certificates


3. The kids:

Visa application forms
Itinerary and hotel reservation
Booked tours (from viator.com)
Letters from their schools
Their birth certificates
My previous U.S and Schengen visas


I want to know if we also have to write a letter of introduction for each of the kids separately and also include bank statements in each of their applications/file or if there are any other documents we should add or remove from the list above. Your contributions would be highly appreciated.

Safe flights,

Currently awaiting to board my flight at CDG Paris back to Nigeria. I suppose to come back yesterday but I was ask to get a PCR test a must before I board and because of that my flight was rescheduled today, I thought I don’t need it as it wasn’t required when I was coming here as I’m fully vaccinated, they said is Nigeria government policy not theirs. For those who are planning to return do your PCR test before you miss your flight. But according to what I hard by Monday 1st November Nigeria will stop requesting for it on arrival passengers

Book accommodation for the duration of the whole stay...

esdajo:
Good evening everyone,

Assuming one is planning on spending 2 weeks in France, would it be okay to make a reservation for an accommodation for just 3 days for the visa application with the mindset that one could change accommodation upon discovering other better deals after getting the visa? Or must one book for the whole 2 weeks and use the booking to apply for the visa? Any suggestion please!

When coming back to Naija, The test is 50 euros and its done at the Sheraton at that airport, terminal 2e, cerballiance is the name of the lab...

Do your pcr, fill a form on the travel portal online n upload it,then make arrangements for day 7 test back home, then you are given a permit to fly...

But before leaving nigeria, Google the government labs approved for the tests online.
pufframmy:
pls how much do u get to be tested for the PCR and which LAB do u use?

Good day everyone,

When applying for a France visitor’s visa as a family unit, must everyone book separate appointments and fill separate visa forms? I mean, do I have to book separate appointments for my underage kids and fill separate visa forms for each and every one of them?

Your response would be appreciated.

Hello house, I arrived France yesterday...

I arrived from abuja, I'm vaccinated but at the airport they kept on asking for covid test. Thank God I did it for doing sake. I used airfrance n they didn't need it but trust our nigerians with their own protocol

Other than that, smooth entrance... lol

If you are fully vaccinated, I would advice you should just apply as a tourist, simple as that, no need to complicate your application. If you have all your required documents, just write a very convincing cover letter stating your reason including as a way of celebrating your birthday and enjoying the tourist attractions n French culture... make sure you get a Letter headed letter of introduction for your work place, leave letter that should say when you are on and off work, as in when you are expected to be back at work. Just show them you work. And ties you have here in nigeria.
If you follow this platform, you can package this very well on your own, I know it helped me n I was successful with mine.

For options, for someone who has been to spain, Spain is a beautiful place �, this is my first time going to France but I hear its amazing, but if you have enough finance, u can do both, as schengen visa can take you to both places as along as you arrive at your primary place of application first.
Happy birthday in advance �

Priceless200:


Hey well done on your contributions here. You re doing so well. Thank you.

I'm planning a birthday getaway with some friends for next month.

Majority are first timers. But comfortably working, earning good monies, single and will surely come back.

How do you think is the best way to arrange our application pls.

An agent said we should each register a program according to our field of work and use it as a reason.

But me on the other hand is asking why can't we just apply normal as a group knowing no one in Europe just on a trip.

I'm confused.

By the way, Spain or France which should we do. Any is OK for us.
