Here is the inexhaustible list of documents in addition to your valid international passport.

-Two passport photographs

-Travel insurance (should cover your entire stay in the schengen area)

-Flight booking to Austria ( Return)

-Self Introduction Letter. This is compulsory and should be typed on a plane paper introducing yourself and stating the reason you want to visit Austria

-Introduction Letter from employer (For employees) or Certificate of Incorporation (if self employed)

-Personal bank statement
-Pay slip (if applicable)

-Invitation letter for the conference and the receipt of payment

Others such as: Company bank statement, Tax certificate, Marriage Certificate, Property documents etc.

You will be required to submit two sets of ALL of the documents I.e ORIGINAL AND PHOTOCOPY of everything. Your originals will be returned to you after the embassy processed the application and made decision.

@ATPx.kindly advise me on how to embark on my tour to France ..I av valid turkey visa for 3month and [/b]I want to use the turkey visa to apply for France Visit Visa [b].how can I go about it myself without agent .I work at local govt and same time self employed.. I have 600k balance now...
Please fellow Brother in d house I need your intelligent Answers please Ejoor ..
I didn't exactly get this part of your question.

Anyway, you can only apply for a visa with a valid international passport. Other documents you may need to support your application include

-Travel insurance
-Hotel booking in France
*Flight booking to France
-Copy of your employment letter and certificate of incorporation
**Three months bank statements and payslips
-Introduction letter from your employer
-Any other document such as marriage certificate, tax clearance papers, Property documents etc.

*Since you want to go to turkey and France, you should book Turkish airlines and indicate the number of days you want to stay in Turkey before proceeding to France. (Note Turkish airlines flies from Lagos to Instanbul and then to Paris) check their website here https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-int/index.html?

**Do you realistically think the amount you mention can cater for you for the whole trip? Maybe you should consider checking ticket and hotels prices first.

Bonus point: The France visa application center in Lagos will henceforth accept only POS as mode of payment.

Pls do I need personal income tax clearance certificate for a tourist visa?
That can can be regarded as an additional document. It is not compulsory, however, you can still support your application with one.

Which Visa application can you recommend?

Italy Visa application or France Visa Application

Spending 7 days. Planning to spend equal days in both country but I have a host in italy that wants to send me an invitation letter

Thanks
Definitely Short stay tourist visa.

Generally, the schengen requirements are the same for all countries.

Completed application form

Travel insurance that covers your entire stay in the schengen area.

A round flight reservation that show return to your country of residence.

Proof of employment and proof of subsistence

And Proof of accommodation in the schengen area (Hotel booking etc). For this part, your host should be able to provide a sufficient proof that he will accommodate you during your stay in addition to sending you an invitation.

And ohh the Italy visa fee (20,400)is slightly lesser than French (20,835).

How easier it will be for you to get all this

Choice is yours.

THANK YOU......... PLEASE HOW CAN I SECURE MY HOTEL RESERVATION NOT TO BE CANCELLED ? I HAVE BOOKED TO MAKE PAYMENT AT THE PROPERTY BUT WE KNOW YOU CANT TRUST THEM. THANKS
Short answer: By making payment.

Generally hotel companies give period of days before they will cancel your reservation if you fail to make payment.

However, the length of days will depend on the customer. Some travel agencies can secure a longer days reservations even without paying the money.

PLEASE DO I NEED TO PAY FOR TOUR PACKAGE TO APPLY?
I assume u want to apply for a tourist visa to France. You don't need to pay for the tour package, but you can book for any tourist attraction center you may want to visit and print the booking and submit together with your application.

how many days does it take the embassy to get back after submitting application. Minimum and maximum?
By the embassy I assume u mean either French or Italian consulate. Generally they require minimum of 15 working days to process your application, however, some applications take less than that and some may take even more than that.

Hello please does anyone have an idea if I can still get the 17k old passport from Alausa.
I can’t seem to find the option online.
Please it’s urgent.
Unfortunately No. Alausa together with Ikoyi have migrated to issuing the New enhanced passport that cost 25K. Only FESTAC issue the old one now.

You must provide your NIN before capturing in ikoyi, i paid 25k and is the new passport. You can do your NIN inside the passport office in ikoyi!
Thank you. In other words Ikoyi now ONLY issue the New passport with NIN. Right?
TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by ATPx: 10:20pm On Dec 15, 2019
I have read almost all the pages on this thread but something is still unclear to me.

The fact that 32 page passport fee is 25,000 for IKOYI

and other Passport processing centers is 17,000

Does it means that Ikoyi only produce the new enhanced e-passport and no longer produce the old passport?

If yes, how about the fact that NIN is mandatory for the new enhance e-passport and surprisingly when I was trying to register online, the field for NIN was not asterisk and I went ahead and saw 25,000 as the total amount. Does it mean I'd be given the normal regular passport (without NIN) for 25,000?

Or the new enhanced e-passport even thoughtl I don't have the NIN.

Please those that did 5 year validity, 32 paged passport recently in Ikoyi and other center help me with the actual fess paid online and the type of passport issued.
