Goodmorning Guys,
Does anyone know how to cancel appointment scheduled with the TLS France VI office?
As there is no available phone attached to them.
All seen online aren’t going through.
Thank you.
Log into your TLS page, there should be an option where you can cancel/reschedule your appointment.

Greetings everyone,

I could use some assistance, please. I'm in the process of applying for a tourist visa to France, and I've just created an account to begin my application. However, I'm encountering an issue where the page is in French, and despite attempting to switch to English using the dropdown menu, it's not working. Is anyone else experiencing this, and if so, how did you manage to resolve it?

To the gurus and frequent travelers on here, please I’d like to ask.
1. Which of these Schengen is most generous with duration, not a first timer though.
We used to think it was France but people have been saying otherwise recently.
2. Which of them is less stressful, I know Nigerians avoid Belgium due to not getting their passport back on time etc
3. Does showing multiple itinerary months or weeks apart guarantee multiple entry?
Thanks for your anticipated feedback.

With duration, I give it to France 💯!
My first visa was with Italy 20 days
Second with France 1 month
Got another France for 20 days (didn’t travel with it)
My next France application came with a 6months (freebie 🤣)

My last application in April backed with a 1year request letter was granted.
I wouldn’t have gotten 1year if I stuck with Italy

Please my people, I have never been this confused and bothered in my life.

I have a Canadian VV, I couldn't use it for the purpose I needed it as the visa came out some months later. I have relatives in Canada who are convincing me to come over and seek Asylum. It's new to me but I'm still trying to make some research about asylum seeking.

I graduated 2015 with a CGPA of 4.3 and since then I've not been able to get a good job.

Please, is it worth it considering the fact that Nigeria is getting worse by the day?

In as much as I am not in your shoes to understand how difficult things are, I’ll strongly advise you to cross your T’s and dot your I’s before taking such decision. Travelling to canada with a VV is not as simple as it looks, even asylum seekers are not finding it easy. Why not process a study visa instead?

Can a visitor with a Nigeria passport with 5 days validity fly back to Nigeria with it?
I called KLM and they are saying the visitor needs 3 months passport validity to fly with them.

The route is Edmonton - Amsterdam - Lagos

NB: The passport will not have expired as at the time the visitor is flying back and throughout the journey


You can fly back to your country EVEN with an expired passport! So far you are returning to Naija! Maybe the KLM officer you spoke with did not understand what you were saying.

You however cannot use same passport to leave naija if it is close to expiration (6months or less). Call them again or visit the airport overthere for further clarification.

Good morning everyone. We submitted my younger brothers application 2 months ago, and we just found out that the day of his date of birthday filled in was wrong. instead of 23 of December, we selected 30th of December, this is in all the sections they asked about his age. Though the months and years are correct. I am a little concerned about this, is there anyway we can get it rectified? Though the date on his NIN and international passport that are attached to his application are same.

Thank you for your response!

It shouldn’t be a major concern for you since the date on the International passport and NIN are the same, you can however rectify it via a webform, you can submit a letter explaining the mistake and make reference to the birthdate on the submitted international passport and NIN, attach his birth certificate to the webform letter too.

Good morning Beautiful people
I have a question please 🙏🏻
I got my first Schengen visa through France and I was told my point of entry has to be France, which I made sure.
Now the visa has expired and I want to apply again through France. Must my point of entry be France again or I can enter through any other Schengen country?
Thanks in anticipation.

I’ll advise you go through France, you can take other routes once you are an established frequent traveller but never forget to enter through France before the visa expires (established frequent traveller).
In your current situation, France is strongly advised.

Thank you. Don't they search the loads for drugs with scanner?

You are travelling with medications, not ‘drugs’.. your items are definitely scanned so do not travel with any incriminating items or accept to help someone take a package with you. DO NOT ACCEPT.

Good morning guru's, please I want to ask a question please, my agent helped me to apply for a visitor visa but when I went to do my biometrics I wrote my email on the top of my biometric paper. So my question is if my visa got approved would I be the one to receive the email or my agent?

The email he used when filling the application will get notifications, the one you wrote on the biometric paper will only get it if same email is filled when applying. Agents are too wise to use their client’s email 😀

Good evening everyone. I am about applying for a tourist visa again since my last refusal in 2019 to France. My consultant told me I have to clean out my first application information from the European Data Base to avoid any chances of being denied again. Obviously it cost some Euros. My question here is, how possible is this ?
Thanks for your kind response!

Pay money to clean database ke? Never heard of such o. Just work on the reasons why you were refused the previous visa and disregard whatever that consultant told you. Dem wan milk you. So far you are not banned during your previous application, your chances are 50/50 like always. I will advise you don’t use contradictory info when applying now .

For a first application I will recommend minimum of 4 months.

Same thing I did back then.

Although when I did apply I had a reason to travel to the UK other than visit.

4 or 6months?

Nope, I can take it over for stamp and signature.

Thanks

I doubt if your bank will accept that, because the document is not directly from them, why not walk into your bank and print the statement from them? I had a similar situation and my bank didn’t accept to stamp and sign the printed copy I took there.

Hi maternal,I got denied a student visa last year October DIY. So I want to pay an agent to help me get a visit visa that can later be turned to a work visa upon getting a job. My questions please?
1. Should I go ahead with the agent? (Requesting #350k for d visit visa,even though I will provide proof of funds of at least #3m in my account)
2. Or should I apply for it myself?
3. Is this a viable option to relocate to Canada?

You DIY already and now contemplating using an agent? With various submissions on this platform, even agents come here to learn. Why not work on your POF, increase the figures, go though various contributions here and save yourself paying an agent N350k. Will the agent use same docs and info you used in your previous application? Abeg no risk am ooo.

He should have added his funded personal savings account too.., and N4M is too small

Please can someone shed more lights on this reason for refusal as the person that was refused as sufficient money in his bank acount. He has 40M in his bank account, he use his own personal company account - Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

Please your contribution is needed on this. Thanks very much

He used his own personal company account, did he add his own personal savings account to the application ?

Six months is too much for a visit. Apply for a maximum of 1 month stay (depending on the amount of funds in your sponsor’s and your personal account). Nobody will grant you visa to visit for Six months on a Visit/tourism visa.

She has plenty travel history, and she has traveled to Canada before (2016). She has a 10-year UK visa and Irish visa. She has been to shengen countries too.

But for her application, I uploaded her passport data page and a copy of NIN document only because those were the only 2 documents they requested from her.

While her Canada visa application was still pending, she went for US visa interview and the visa was denied.

Wow! She has enough reasons for her application to be given a positive/speedy consideration. Congratulations to her

But for USA that spoiled the fun. Chai! USA!!!

Visit Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Kenya.. you can visit both countries on same trip. Just book Tanzania Return ticket on Kenya Airways, your connecting flight on return should have a day or two days layover in Nairobi, use the layover day(s) to enter Kenya.

With that, you have used one stone to kill two birds. You don’t need to visit their embassies for visas, they can be gotten online
