I’ve gotten my visa from France VFS. I applied through Lagos and I applied to Netherlands actually but via france, applied for business category and got 1 entry for the duration of my trip. Frequent traveler. Applied on 9th of June, visa got issued 19th June received via courier today 23 June. Things I applied with (also I was told to not submit original documents because they won’t be returned to me like my original CAC docs and land docs were returned to me and I submitted photocopies of those instead). - 3 months bank statement - Invitation letter from inviting organisation - Invitation / intro from my work as its a work trip - CAC reg of my own thing - My personal intro letter - accommodation note - flight itinerary reserved from Air France (used book on hold though it already expired) - form filled during application on france visa website. I don’t know if I’m missing anything else. I got quick interview date on frequent traveler + this is my 4th Schengen. 2 Likes |

Hello all, How many months bank statement is needed for application please. 3 months or 6 months? I’ve seen people supply both and the required documentation list doesn’t specify how many months statement is needed. I hope Axa Manxard is still an alright travel insurance to use? I’m applying to the Netherlands through France. 1 Like |

dami24: Sure, well thanks be to God. Yes I’m a frequent traveler and it was my third Schengen visa, my last one was maybe in 2020. Documents if I remember correctly- they have a list of documents on their website which was what i followed. The only document I didn't have was a tax clearance certificate and I was asked for it. But I submitted without it. Docs (if I remember correctly) - bank statement + reference letter from bank - reference from work + personal letter of introduction that stated my itinerary in it - CAC - hotel reservations + flight itinerary (only hotel was paid for, flight was not yet paid for) - Health insurance - complete application form I don’t remember anything else for now 3 Likes |

Has anyone tried dropping off their documents for IW at any of the other drop-off locations like Enugu, Port Harcourt etc. Or is it safer/better to come to Lagos and drop off? Thanks |

It’s cool thanks, I applied for my visa and thankfully got it in around 6-7 working days. I applied on the 12th of Jan, it got sent to the embassy on the 13th jan, received an email from TLS that it was ready for collection on the 23rd and today 24th DHL delivered it to me. I’m quite impressed with the speed of delivery from DHL. I thought I’d share too as the thread has been so silent. Thanks for all the information also shared earlier on. The staff were also kind and helpful in my experience at TLS. 9jaLaw: |

9jaLaw in your business visa did you submit a conference invitation letter that took the format of the one TLS contact has on their website: https://static.tlscontact.com/media/ng/lgv/it/modello_di_invito_per_affari_nuovo.pdf Or did you use the invitation letter the conference provided by themselves with their letter heads I assume. I want to apply for a business visa and want to know if the organization needs to provide this TLS’s format in addition to their own invitation letter. Thank you. 9jaLaw:

Airtonnie: Yes I was asked questions about what I do, why I was traveling, who would pay, why I chose to travel to Turkey, I had to also explain what my company does and explain my role and explain things about my field. I don't remember who I addressed my letter to, probably the embassy. 1 Like |

I did mine in Lagos so I didn't book an appointment. Lagos is a walk-in center without appointment date, but the fees are higher. You can try this link to book an appointment; https://voyavisa.com/index.php/online-appointment-for-visa/ Airtonnie: 2 Likes |

[quote author=meljoe post=111911012][/quote] For your first submission to the embassy, you are adviced to submit only reservations. Flight reservations and hotel reservations only because if you don't get the visa your money would have wasted if you paid directly for flight n accomodation. I submitted on the 16 or March and I got emailed on 21st March to submit confirmed flight tickets. That's when you go ahead to pay for flight tickets. 3 Likes |
Travel / Re: Turkey Visa Application Delay by Champora: 1:39pm On Apr 13, 2022 |
I applied through Lagos so I did not need an appointment, Lagos is a walk-in center so it costs double the amount, like I paid $200+ USD in Lagos while if you apply through Abuja you have to get an appointment but it costs $100+ for visa. Please see the previous pages for the exact cost. After I submitted they asked me to send a confirmed flight ticket so I only sent the flight ticket I already paid for. meljoe: |
Travel / Re: Turkey Visa Application Delay by Champora: 10:03am On Apr 11, 2022 |
Currently in Turkey now. Also when traveling/at airport, ensure you have a negative COVID test result or the vaccination card with your 2 shots taken. I only used my vaccination card with complete COVID shots. If you're going on a student visa please carry all your documents, I noticed they were asking people for waec results at the airport but I wasn't in that category so I cannot say much. I didn't use an agent but I got so much information from this thread (thank you so much to everyone who contributed) and I used what I learned here to apply for a tourist visa. 1 Like

I've received my Turkish Visa - tourist visa. I applied around March or so 16 in Lagos, I received an email from the embassy to submit my confirmed flight ticket which I did on the 23rd. Unfortunately they didn't seem to receive my emails including my follow up emails. So I put a call across to the embassy as my travel date was approaching and there was no response. Luckily they picked and informed me they had not received any of my emails. They suggested that I either had to ask someone to submit my ticket physically if I was not in Abuja or to try sending with someone else's email. I did try using someone else's email and I guess it went. I later got informed to come pickup my passport. Things I submitted: - My 6 months bank statement (and invoices to substitute paychecks) including my naira and domiciliary accounts. - Current passport and old passport with UK, US, Schengen, etc. visa (all expired) - Birth certificate - CAC certificate (I own my own initiative) - Introduction letter from company I work with - Self introduction letter I'm trying to remember what else but basically if you check the previous pages I shared an image of all the requirements needed. 2 Likes |
