I have a vaccination card, 2 shots taken. Someone on the group mentioned one might also need to do a COVID test before travel and provide negative result. I thought vaccination card was sufficient enough. Grateful02: |

Wowww bro thank you! This is so useful to know. Is it any kind of covid test? "Negative PCR test result received within the last 72 hours or a negative rapid antigen." Royals1st: |

MrPeterson & Mtew1965 when you received your email did you submit just confirmed flight tickets and any insurance again or just the flight tix? Thanks. |
Travel / Re: Turkey Visa Application Delay by Champora: 2:29pm On Mar 22, 2022 |
I got a response from the Embassy to submit confirmed flight tickets and health insurance. I already did Voya Visa's travel insurance, am I to buy a new health insurance from another company such as AxaManxard (not sure I spelled that right) and submit to the embassy, since they're asking for health insurance and tickets. Voya Visa didn't give me any documents to show for insurance except the receipt that shows all payments including "insurance fee." I'm confused if this is what to send back to the embassy or get a new insurance. I've emailed Voya Visa and they've been helpful with their responses but they've not answered my question on whether or not insurance from Voya Visa or another is required as my travel date remains the same. Thanks. 1 Like |

After applying for a visa does Voya Visa or Turkish embassy send you any confirmation email to signify that one has made a submission please? Not the one they email days later to signal for passport pickup, but immediately after you make your submission do they send an email to confirm this submission please (as other 3rd parties or embassies do)? I didn't receive any so I'm asking. Thanks. |

The earliest visa appointment date in Abuja is between 4th to 7th of April. Lagos' walk in allows those with urgent travel, medical or business needs apply without an appointment and so they leverage on this to add the VIP fees, increasing cost. I'm open to learning if there are closer appointment dates for March in Abuja. These are dates I found. baryouradekunle:

Update, these are the requirements I saw as of today at Voya Visa Lagos. I didn't see a lot of people. Make sure you have your birth certificate $255 + N13,000 charged (it includes courier). Be sure to carry exact amount as change is not given.

Crime / Re: My Girlfriend Was Raped In Lagos By A Fat Elderly Man With A Pot Belly by Champora: 5:40pm On Nov 02, 2021 |
I'm very angry at you OP. What kind of talk is this? You kept blaming everybody for your girlfriend being raped — except the bloody rapist himself! You're asking what she was doing there at 10pm, that you were all robbed there. Then you shift the blame to her friends for being the bad influences who called her out to party then you became angry that she had been going to parties behind your back. And the last thing on your list to do is to say that you want to lay ambush for the rapist. Are you angry and disgusted that someone raped a woman? Or only angry because he raped your girlfriend? It's a big shame that you even blamed her and didn't see it fit to extend the blame to the bloody rapist! And even if she was a virgin and she told you she was raped, so what?! You only believed her because you broke her virginity and knew she was not a virgin. Human beings sef! |

Same. I got my visa and was meant to travel two days ago but I've cancelled all my plans, rescheduled flight and cancelled accomodation. I will apply for another visa by God's grace when everything's settled and if the purpose of my travel comes up again at a later, much safer date. Safety is the best policy right now. Talksub: |

I applied for a Schengen Visa in 2019 from Abuja, and in 2020 from Lagos. My province is in the south (Lagos) but I had gotten instructions from my manager/inviting organization as of 2019, to apply from Abuja. Hence I applied from Abuja without thinking twice and never got any queries about it. By God's grace, the visa was granted. Nonetheless, it was this year that I noted on the VFS website (I can't recall the link), that applicants from Northern Nigeria are to apply from Abuja. And those within the south, Lagos. For many people applying from the far far south like Uyo, honestly, Abuja and Lagos are about the same distance, and in some cases Abuja might seem closest. It's either you write that undertaking with relevant reasons, or you would have to travel back to Lagos. Sorry about this. Stanleych007: 1 Like |

By God's grace, I received my visa today. Submitted 17th Feb, it got processed (sent to the embassy) on the 18th, got a notification to pick it up on the 28th. UPS Courier service delivered it to me Tuesday morning at home, 3rd March. Visa was granted. That was my timeline. 3 Likes |

I don't remember seeing the prepaid option in my application. For accomodation I just wrote down the name of my hotel and contact details. If you're seeing the prepaid option then I guess it's okay to click that. If you go through the Schengen visa's guidelines: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/france-visa/general-requirements/ — you'll notice that they themselves don't exactly advise people to fully pay for flight tickets or accomodations before their visas have been approved. You can check the link: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/schengen-visa-application-requirements/proof-accommodation/ "Also, such Dummy Hotel Booking for Visa only, is a worthy alternative for Schengen Visa Applicants as you, because you DO NOT have to spend your money on paying the complete hotel stay before being sure you get a Schengen Visa in the first place. Otherwise, you would risk a lot losing your money spent in paying the hotel fee in case of visa denial." HRprof: |

Yes, pick business. Business is the same thing as conference. When you're submitting your docs at VFS Lagos you'll be asked to fill a questionnaire. It costs 150 bucks to get inside VFS itself. On the questionnaire you'll also have to tick the business box if you're going for a conference. I don't know if you can print that questionnaire on your own and fill, if possible, I don't know where it can be downloaded from. But nonetheless when you go to submit your documents you'll be asked to fill a complementary questionnaire for France visa. HRprof: 1 Like |

Hi hardywaltz, I assume you've already submitted your application by now? If so, may I please know the total amount VFS France is now charging for visa applications? Visa fees + service fee. And hopefully courier service too. Thanks, I'd like to know the new total amount or estimate. And that's short term visa. (Even though I understand you applied for the Netherlands but it's still with France VF) hardywaltz: |
Travel / Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Champora: 3:22am On Feb 03, 2020 |
Yes, I printed the form and filled it with my hand last year. I've just taken a look at the VFS website and it seems a little different from the web interface I interacted with last year. It's still the same website, it just seems "updated" with a new user interface/new web design/information. I don't know if the process has changed or if it's still same. But visit https://visa.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/austria/nigeria/english/#Short for more details on the Austrian visa. And also check an Austrian thread for more details. Better still, call/email VFS, they're there to provide all information you need. approvedxxx: |
Travel / Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Champora: 11:17am On Feb 02, 2020 |
approvedxxx yes he’s right. I went to Austria last year, spent 82 days there in total and I didn’t have any issues whatsoever. I submitted at Abuja. I submitted sometime around 20th may and told it was ready sometime by June 6th. Roughly 2 weeks. The guys at VFS there were very kind and nice, they thoroughly cross checked my documents. I had made a mistake on my application form and so I had to redo the entire thing again, they made me take new passport photos and they had me redo my bank statement. From what they said if I remember correctly, I had to come up with exactly 3 months bank statement. So I ran to the bank that same day, did a new bank statement and arrived back before closing. It was a REALLY long day. But I thank God for everything. I went to Austria in July or so. I stayed in Salzburg and visited Chiemsee in Bavaria, wen to some really exotic places. And whilst in Salzburg, I met the Nigerian Ambassador to Austria, Amb. Vivian Okeke. Very nice woman. For your self introduction letter too, I remember the guy at VFS asked why I didn’t do it on a letter head. But he accepted it nonetheless. I’m not very sure my total visa fees + other expenses was up to: N41410. Honestly I can’t really remember. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t, I feel like I paid something in total of about 30 something k. But now with the increase of visa fees, it could cost much more. ATPx: 2 Likes |

A friend who got a travel scholarship and needs to get some visas emailed the nearest Peru embassy (Ghana) and they say one has to fix an appointment in Ghana. So Nigerians have to travel to Ghana for a visa to Peru? |

Hello all, I kindly have a question to ask. I got issued my Schengen Visa today (Austrian Visa). However there’s no remark on my visa.

I was just checking for information too on Ethiopian visas. I came across this Ethiopian visa site >> https://www.evisa.gov.et << and it claims to be the main visa application website and on it, visa fees for tourists (30 days visit) cost $52. The site also mentioned not to make visa applications to this site >> https://www.ethiopiaevisa.com. bamangar:
