It’s simple nau. If you a given 3 months multiple visa and 30 days stay, it’s either you stay 30 days at a stretch or break the visit in to parts, that should add up to the 30 days within the 3 months validity. You can’t do 30 days, exit, and come back for, say 10 days with the same visa because it’s within the 90 days validity.

Hi, a stay is counted as you being inside the country for a given duration if you leave the country it resets. Using the US as an example on a tourist visa you cannot stay longer than 6 months in one stay even if you have a 2-year visa.

You can come for 6 months at a go, leave for one for day and get an exit/entry stamp and come back the following day. You have not broken the terms of your visa.

For OP to break the terms of their visa with regards to duration of stay they would need to enter France and stay in the country for 31 days.

This second highlighted is not our business but OPs business. I personally love travelling, and I do that often; OP could also be that sort of person. I also know people that take breaks from work and travel a whole year.

You are right about the 90/180 though. Your max duration of stay within a 6-month window is 90.

Please when submitting your application for brazil visa did you submit your old passport where your old travelling history visa or you just submitted the copy of the old visa on your old passport..?

I made copies of them. They formed part of the documents I submitted.

Soraco57:
do u have traveling experience before

well, yes… Kenya, South Africa and Ethiopia. That is If those count as traveling experience.

Please, who has traveled with klm recently?
I want to find out if I need a Covid test result to travel , or my vaccine card is ok.

HOKIM:
You got one year Visit visa

yes I, maybe they were still granting one year visa then.
That one year visa is so convenient… you can plan your visit anytime.

It was the first visa I got this year, but the last country I will be visiting, because others gave 3months and one month validity.

Niveakreamy89:
The wrote passport is ready for pick up. And visa is visa is granted 3months .

na wa o. So it’s 3 months visa they grant these days.
I was lucky to get 1 year in February.

isaaccharles34:
Thank you for the input.
So do I stand a chance without any Travel History please?

Anything is possible.. only the consular general can decide.
That was how I almost did not go for my appointment because of some comments here that suggested that it is almost impossible to get a tourist visa as a first timer without prior travel to UK, US , Australia or Canada or having their visa in your passport. I didn’t have any of those.
If no be say I been don pay for the appointment and didn’t want my money to waste, I for dump the idea.
My passport came back in 2days, I thought I had been denied before I got my passport. My application was successful.
Just give it your best shot. Include as many documents as possible, and hope for the best.

When you think of India, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, visions of the Taj Mahal, mountains of curry and colorful festivals dance through your head. As one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, India has inspired countless tales of adventure and discovery, drawing tourists from all over the globe to its magnificent palaces and temples with promises of spicy food and picturesque scenery.

India of all places? What is glamorous about India? God forbid bad thing.

hostsleek:
Dubai doesn't count as travel history

really? Which countries then count as travel history?

I’ll be visiting France in a month from now , Paris to be precise.
Where can I shop?
Where can I eat better French food?
Apart from seeing museums and old old buildings, what else is there to do in Paris?
I want it to be a memorable visit.

Klass99:
Pls check out that video I mentioned, but most importantly read the comments, before you finally decide. It is very eye opening.

One troublesome nairalander claimed Africans in the diaspora were lying, but how can Africans from different countries, living in different locations all be lying about the same thing? Na plan?

Don't worry he may soon land here, he likes japa threads and believes Naija is a shithole . By his posts you will know him.

those guys have many travel videos. Could be kind enough to provide a link to any of them that relates to your post?

emmanuelewumi:
Be greedy when others are fearful, this is the time to accumulate and average down.

please when is the next sukuk coming out?

Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! try out different french cuisines. You could also go partying if you like such or shopping.


thank you.
Food is in my bucket list as well.

I intend visiting another city. Among rome, Barcelona, Madrid and Amsterdam, which do you think will provide best value? Like where I’ll have more stuffs to see and activities to do?

Please, apart from seeing ancient buildings and museums, and walking in the parks, what are other things one can do in Paris?

HRprof:
It depends on what you stated you are traveling for . If you mention you’re traveling for an event you need to appear on the date they stated for you because you should have return by the according to the information you supply on your application but if you are traveling for vacation is possible the date might change so go to embassy whenever you return and explain to them you have change of plan and travel date change as result of that. The most important is to return and not to over stay your visa. No big deal

ok, thank you. I’m going for tourism.

burk:
Good evening people. Please i want to make an enquiry on how many days does it take French embassy in Lagos to process visitor visa

Two days

davide470:
They gave you the 12th because you mentioned on your application that you will be back to NG before the 12th yeah? So to avoid hindering further applications, return before the 12th and show at the embassy or write to the embassy now on the travel date change.

thank you for your response.
Please, do you know how I can reach them in case there is a travel date change?

pufframmy:

They said I should report on the 12th.
What if I travel and return after the 12th of July, can I present myself at VSF after the date I was asked to report and won’t have issues?

cucumbar:
Hello all, the embassy said I should report to VSF on the 12th of July 2022. My visa is until 23rd of July.
I intended traveling on the 28th of June.
What if I travel at a later date and return after 12th of July? Will there be implications if I present myself at VSF after 12th of July?

someone should please respond to this.

Too stressful. How can they be requesting for 3 years bank statement?
I go just apply to France or some other country and enter Greece from there.

Your Brazilian visa sticker help you either you travelled with it or not it count, try and report to emabssy as soon as you return so that you would have issue next application.

wonder233:
Nigerians don't care about this. They don't care about the economy, unemployment, poor infrastructure, corruption, insecurity and all those stuff.
Nope, what Nigerians really care about is Tribe and Religion. The most important detail a Nigerian wants to know when he first meets you is "where are you from?" after that, is "what/how do you worship?".
Another thing Nigerians are obsessed with is Marriage. The Internet broke the other day cos a man said he took a second wife... Economic issues cannot crack the internet, let alone break it.
Make we continue dey ask ourselves "where are you from", dey suffer.

This one sef shock me. Up till now, I Dey wonder wetin concern anybody for that matter.

-VISA Alert!!!!…just got my passport an hour ago.

-First timer!

-No travel history or VISa stickers of UK, US or any of the first world countries.

-only had Dubai stamp(visited In march) and Brazilian visa( haven’t travelled yet) on my passport.Copies of Visa Stickers/stamps of Countries I had visited( kenya, Ethiopia and South Africa) were removed at VSF.

-Single!

-Passport was retuned to VSF in two days, so I thought I wasn’t given the visa( going by the narratives here).

- one month Tourist visa given with an instruction to report to VSF on a particular date.

Thanks to the gurus on this thread. It was the easiest process since I have been applying for visas. I’m so happy.
