Good evening everyone, I need help please. I don't even know what to do anymore.
Got an air france ticket for my parents to travel from Abuja to the UK. My dad is going to be 80 and they have always loved airfrance but the last time they used AF to Uk was in 2022. Had no idea it is this frustrating with this transit visa else would have insisted on BA regardless of their sentiments.

I have not had an issue that frustrated me this much in a long why. The TLS online system does not allow you to pass this page in the screen shot so no date can be booked.have deleted and creates account more than 11 times. My siblings and I have tried this from different locations so it's not just me or my system. Please note this ATV. Ticket gotten is not refundable.

If I even book for actual schengen visa what will I say they want to do as they are not visiting anyone anywhere, more so because the UK visit is for 4 months duration... Even if we say tourists, and make a hotel booking, we can't probably make a booking for 4 months yet we need something that will envelope both legs into the UK and out.
Called TLS 11 times on Friday, same back and forth and issue not resolved.
Any advice please, I cannot afford to waste this ticket. Travel date is 1st week in July and I have been trying this for 3 weeks now.
Please help!! Many thanks

Thank you so much

Tlscontact down for more than a week now? I don't know where you for this information from, but I have paid and book appointments for 2 people within the last 7days. Check well...

Please my parents are visiting UK and I am stuck. anyone have any advise on how to get airport transit visa for France? It's crazy that TLS contact has been down for more than a week now..so no appointment booking at all for French visas.
The last time they came, they booked this airport transit visa and it was out in 4 working days but website is down and they don't know when it will be up.

I am thinking applying for Schenghen visa for may be through Netherlands will still not solve it or am I wrong?. They will be in the UK for 4 months. Will they be given schengen visa that will cover both going and return leg as they have no business with Netherlands. What will they say they want to do as they are not leaving the airport of French embassy. Please any advise will be appreciated.
My parents are coming for my dad's 80th birthday and I didn't envisage this stress at all.
They have never really liked BA but if I knew there will be this TLS wahala, I would have insisted BA it is. Didn't see this coming at all. Thank you

Thank you very much

They need Schenghen transit visa or UK BRP to use air France/KLM.
If above not available, then they need USA, Canada, Japan or Schenghen visas or resident permits.
Schenghen transit visa is as per filling visa application forms, booking appointment, going for appointments, submitting required documents and then waiting for outcome.

I need your help please.
My parents have a 6 months visit visa and travelling via air France to UK. Can anyone please help clarify as I was getting conflicting information about transit visa. Do Nigerians require it? Has anyone used them recently from Abuja to UK. If so how easy is it to get the airport transit visa. Any tips please? Many thanks.
