You are welcome.

All appeal are sent and received in france. The German Embassy in Nigeria accepts the remonstrance letter and works on it there unlike the french Embassy.

You may appeal to the CRRV in person, through a lawyer or through a family member. Your request must be in French and be sent by regular mail to that following address.

If your appeal is considered you may get a response or not.

However, send in the letter and you cant reapply immediately.
You can try taking the family somewhere else this Christmas.

You may try again by Easter (My Opinion)

esdajo:
Thanks for the advice. Will do as you have advised. However, I have written the France Consulate expressing my dissatisfaction and asking for an in-person interview if at all possible as we wish to reapply immediately but the available dates are far off, in fact, past the intended travel date we have in mind. I don’t understand why the appeal has to be in France and not here, but then it’s their rules and it has to be followed. I had a similar but serious issue with the German embassy 7 years ago which I appealed here, went back and got the student visa.

@esdajo,

In my Opinion, you can appeal the decision taken explaining your decision for applying for a tourist visa with your Partner and kids to France citing the touristic attractions france has to offer when compared to Germany.

Also state that you are Resident in Germany and you have no intentions of them staying back in either Countries as they are strongly rooted in Nigeria. You may include evidences of what you feel demonstrates this root.

Note, this may not overturn the decision but would be documented in your file so the next Visa Officer if you choose to apply anytime can see you appealed to clear the doubts casted.

Use the following address Commission de recours contre les refus de visas, BP 83609, 44036 Nantes Cedex 1.

.

Apologies. With a Residence in a Member state and its only logical you go through your resident state.

esdajo:
Unfortunately we were refused on the ground that there are reasonable doubts as to our intentions to leave the territory of the Member states before the visa expires.

I don’t know if my having a residence in another Member state was responsible for this.

Try Courtyard by Marriot Paris Roissy cdg airport



quote author=rockyryuks post=107528244]Please can anyone recommend hotel to stay in Paris that will be close to city centre and also cdg airport. I booked ibis cdg before but i changed my itinerary as i will be spending two weeks in paris now but ibis is saying i cnt extend my dates. I have checked other hotels but its hard to even know which to choose. I would appreciate. I am tired already[/quote]

Firstly , what Auditors? An applicant has no business with that story.
Secondly, the french Embassy isnt accepting first time applications.
Lastly, this Amazing agent probably has played a fast one.

When you are refused a French visa, the refusal letter is enclosed in your package.

prince4real2017:
Will it be written in the passport, because a friend of my applied tru an agent in Abuja after 15days the agent collected the passport from vfs beacuse the gent filled his number and email but my friend submitted it him self first time traveler to shenge. So the agent told him the passport was withdrawn because of auditors came. pls I want to know if one can no if it was rejected, the agent said he will send it back to the embassy.

No 18.

pufframmy:
cool

are u first timer?
didnt see anything like previous visa as frequent travelers

Book for the proposed 2 weeks with a pay at property option.

When you get there you decide what to do.

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!

Best call them on the Customer care number. Nigeria SMH!


quote author=Gentlesoul3268 post=106908067]

I have done that already when you first posted it 2 month ago till now no reply from them[/quote]

Have you downloaded the Form on their website, filled and courier to their office in Abuja?

If not, go to the CAC section nairaland the procedure is there.

Gentlesoul3268:
Please any one with a successful filling for annual returns through electronic mean to CAC headquarter Abuja?

This is almost 2 month I have requested because my company is showing INACTIVE, PLEASE any helpful info how I can get it done or who ever that filled recently should please advise me

@OsiEnterprise4

Look out for those with pay at property terms on booking.com.

You are required to input card details to confirm booking . Note you wont be debited.

Before booking do check for their Reservation and Cancellation terms.

OsiEnterprise4:
Hello house, please ooh, where can I book hotel without asking for credit card, booking.com was not like this before, I need a response, cheers �

@Prince4real2017

The said time frame is for Frequent travellers, as a first time applicant necessary checks and verifications need to be made.

prince4real2017:
But is the delay normal as in is that how it takes long cause he was told is normally 3 to 5days tops. That's y am asking

Lol. Why do we always want to pay Someone to do something we can do ourselves?

He disappeared because he doesnt have any dates to sell to you.

When and If he comes back with an appointment confirmation, better dont accept it before you get there on the said appointment day only to be bounced because you actually dont have a valid appointment. (That's some crafted appointment confirmation).

Use the Link attached in and verify yourself.

AboveSOSO:
@Beverleyhil
The person helping said they have taken all the appointment @vfs for this year finish for Lagos office but if she can pay 20k he will buy the slot. Later he said he has gotten Dec. For us

@aktai,
In my Opinion, with the current rate of immigration you should best build some travel History.

However, The French Embassy is Currently on Frequent travellers for Tourism and Business visas. If Fully vaccinated, go through the Spanish Embassy.

@keet18

Apologies for all these. You should avoid these Agents.

When does your UK ban end? What was the Reason for the ban (if you can share it)Lets start from there.

Going by these refusals back to back. You need to take a step back and try building some travel history with some countries with less visa hassles like Dubai, Turkey, Rwanda, etc.

@ Priceless200


If Majority are first timers, kindly redirect to the Spanish Embassy.
The french Embassy isn't accepting first time Applications.

At the Spanish visa Application(BLS), best apply as a group with same itinerary, group tour plans for the Birthday, same accommodation, flight reservation etc.

Kindly avoid these agents and stick to your Birthday getaway tourist visa application.

With the current Covid situations, Trade events/Programs are gradually opening up.

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.

@keet18

If the Goal was just to visit France, you should have just gone straight up for a tourist visa. Applying for a Tourist visa at the point would further cast doubts already in place with the first refusal. Except you are willing to give some months apart.

Kindly do a new application, have all the necessary documents attached and have the company do the needful since its a Non paid training with verifiable documents.

Keet18:
Thanks for your kind response Beverlyhills

I paid for the invitation letter but didn’t pay for training
The goal was just to visit France
The previous invitation letter had my company’s name on it

Other applicants are from a different company

@ Keet18

From your Refusal note, Point 11 was highlighted. This point generally means the visa officer concluded that the application isn't satisfactory to him or her. Its a very common refusal point especially with no travel history on your part.

Now in my opinion, kindly request from the Engineering firm to do another letter of invitation to you in your Company name with new training dates and send same to the Embassy as well informing them that you have been invited for this training and its importance to you and your company.( Reason- clear the doubts of some Nigerian Drafted training invite)

Is the training free or Paid for? If paid, then attach evidences of Payment.

The other appliciants are they from your Company as well?

Keet18:
No travel experience
One of the fellow applicants who’s been to uk and France also got denied for same reason

@ Keet 18, You can't be refused because you didn't include a Covid Vaccine Card.

Is the Business trip work related ?

Hopefully the agent didn't create one Unverifiable Business trip.

Kindly check your refusal Number(1-11). Let's know the Number to identify your refusal.

Let's guide you on your reapplication steps if you intend to do it Yourself.

Lastly find out from that Agent what he or she stated your are going to do on that Business trip.


quote author=Keet18 post=106583334]I got denied few weeks ago
First time traveler
Business short stay

I intend to re apply
My agent said we got denied cause we didn’t submit COVID vaccine card

Its Sickening. Handouts before anything can work in Nigeria.

Akorkor:
Update: Just came back from NIS Ikoyi and the passport officers said It should be ready for collection next week hopefully.

The wrote AA on my slip as passport status. Honestly, Nigerians are not making the system work. Even the officials want bribes. They are not expecting anyone to do it themselves. All the officers were surprised that I did it myself without using any officers.

Na wa for every single human being in this Nation call Nigeria

Its not fake rather from April 1st 2019, all old yellow fever cards were rendered invalid.

Follow the link @ kajolplus dropped and use remita to pay N 2,000 for the E yellow fever card.


quote author=pufframmy post=106123991]that means the one u have is fake oo it not on system maybe u did it at does guys hand not Government accredited center, if u do it at government center am sure it will be on their data online[/quote]

Its required for entry to Tand T.

HRprof:
Yellow fever vaccine card is for African countries, I don't think you will need it to travel to Europe.

The German Embassy is strict but not when it comes to family. You have been there for 6 years , that should count for something.
Do the invite letter from Germany. You know the processes to take.

Viel glück

esdajo:
Yes you are right but I think they might want to believe I want to stylishly bring them over to Germany never to return home since I have been there for over 6 years, hence going the France route cos Germany is very strict with visa issuance.

@esdajo

In my opinion, You guys have a better chance going through the German Embassy.

Even though they are both Schengen countries ,you can decide with Country to enter and exit from and You have your Permits with Germany. The Visa Officer most likely would wonder why through France not Germany?

However if you decide to go through the French embassy, look for Cancellable tours and most importantly prove that your Partner and 3kids will return back after the New year.

Draft a Good Cover letter, get all the Necessary document to your family. No need for Budgeting like the UK just indicate who is paying.

At the Moment, frequent travellers are allowed to apply .

Keep your application simple and straightforward. You are applying in Nigeria, stick to your home strengths.

If she wants to visit a hospital in France, then do apply for a Medical Visa.

A letter from a doctor/clinic/hospital in the home country of the visa candidate, that he or she needs medical treatment.
Official confirmation of the treatment/appointment by the receiving medical institution (hospital/clinic) in the EU.
Proof of financial means. Proof that the applicant has sufficient financial means to pay the medical expenses and other related expenses throughout their treatment.

@Elmaximilliano

In my Opinion ,you are Capable of Sponsoring your family on a Vacation. There's no need for assumptions.

Firstly, for your wife its no crime to be a home maker.

Draft a good and detailed Cover letter stating your wife is a home maker hence you are sponsoring everything. Remember to include her bank statement irrespectively of the account balance at the time of printing.

Attach the necessary document at your disposal and Remember to have an itinerary that works backed with Cancellable booked tours.

On your Company part, you need your company lawyer (if any) to draft a letter on your behalf stating your position and what you /your company does. Include few transaction evidences if any to prove you are actually trading.

Lastly, kindly edit your last post with account statement details. Thats between you and your bank.
