I would like to ask about something I was told. Someone said that if I buy a ticket from Air France and I require a French transit visa, Air France can assist me in obtaining the visa because I purchased the ticket. How true is this? If no how can i apply for France transit visa and how long does it takes to get one, can i use one for my Family or we all need to apply?
That information is TOTALLY FALSE!!!! Please disregard and don’t pushase flight ticket without you getting a visa, it will end in MAXIMUM TEARS!

I just picked up a passport and was given just one month despite having 3 months previously. I thought they’d give 6 months this time!

I submitted Nov 12th and got message for passport pickup on 5th of December. 3 weeks processing.

I just wished to share.
You are even lucky that you were granted, Be thankful. A whole lot of previous visa holders are currently being refused. My last visa was a year visa, I was hoping to get another year or 2years, but got a 6months last month. My 6th Schengen visa oo

Pls do you need to explain funds into your account apart from salary for France visa?
UK style is in my head.
No No No! But if it there is a huge fund(s) credited to the account, you can back it up with documented evidence. (E.g Property sale, loan repayment, etc)

This is serious, It is well with TLS & France Embassy. Called TLS and they said the passport is still at the embassy. cry cry cry
I’ll advise you pay French embassy a visit with your docs. Also include the passport submission notification you got from Canada.

Good afternoon,

Please, i have been refused a visa before from France and now in my uk visa application, i am being asked if i have to ever been refused a visa. I’m wondering whether i should select no as my passport wasn’t stamped or has anything that shows I was refused or if I should just pick yes.

So I would like to know if anyone has been in this situation and finally got the uk visa , what option they picked

Thank you
Please DECLARE your previous visa refusal(s) ooo.. They share immigration records with other major countries. Please don’t joke with a 10years visa ban. They will KNOW and serve you with a BAN if you refuse to declare. Just be truthful.

Hello Gurus' pls I need urgent support, I made a recent application for a standard UK visitors visa to attend a brother's graduation ceremony however, after the application, I realised that My sister marked "No" for the section that asked " have you been refused a visa before". Though she completed the application for me but she submitted as if I was the one who completed the application. I have been profusely refused a UK visitors visa, which I believed was due to an oversight from the ECO as they have misinterpreted my annual income to be 59million instead of 5.9 million. I have done my biometrics already. please what should I do
I believe you should send a follow up email ASAP explaining your mistakes, don’t tell them the form was filled on your behalf o. You risk a UK travel Ban if you do not declare your previous refusal(s). Treat as Urgent before action(s) is taken on your application.

Dude sorry my bad---

Yes, you can enter Mexico with a valid Schengen visa for tourist, business (invited) and transit purposes for up to 180 days. This applies to holders of multiple-entry Schengen visas that are currently valid and have been used at least once to enter the Schengen Area. Key requirements: But he/she needs to be careful if his/her requirement is not perfect
No problem sir/Ma 👍

Do not be mis lead total liar 🤥, You cannot. It is not possible. It can be use to travel to any Schengen countries only.

He/she need to apply for Mexico visa separately at Mexico embassy at Abuja
Are you truly a visa master? And why will you call me a liar or misleading anyone? Please make your research and cover your face in shame as the one misleading. Don’t dabble into what you have no knowledge of. YOU CAN TRAVEL TO MEXICO WITH A MULTIPLE SCHENGEN VISA! WITHOUT ANY OTHER VISA NEEDED!!! Make your research and stop unnecessary assumptions. This is something I have done before!!!!

I’ll advise you separate your business transactional account from your salary account, you will have a whole lot of explanations to make about the inflow and outflow with document back up. They’ll look for any loophole(s) to refuse you. Just run your salary account alone and submit it. UK no be joke o

Hello everyone,

I already had 3 Schengen visa from France.

My first visa was 10 days...single entry
Second visa was 3 months...multiple entry
third visa was a months. single entry

Now, I intend to apply for the fourth visa and I will like to request for a year visa with multiple entry.

How do I go about this pls? do I need to indicate this in my application letter or can I apply for a long stay visa?
Don’t apply for long stay oo.. Write a letter requesting for 1 year visa (multiple entry) give reasons why you’re requesting for it. That’s what I did

Kudos to all the gurus in the house
I went through all the thread ..information overload

Please I have 2 questions
1- My husband and I plus our 1 year old baby wish to visit France for my 30th birthday .How much do you suggest we have in my husband account ?

2- hopefully we plan to visit Mexico too

Can we use France visa?
If it’s a single entry ..

Thanks ..please gurus in the house help me with my questions. God bless you all
Happy Birthday in advance, you need a multiple entry Schengen visa to enter Mexico if you don’t have a Mexican visa.
Your pof amount is at the discretion of the visa officer but I’ll advise you have atleast 20m or more in your account to support the three of you. Especially if you are a first time applicant. Best of luck

One copy each, please it should be coloured oo.. not black and white o, if you have enough money to waste at the VFS photocopy centre, you can go with black and white. Also make coloured copies of ALL your passport pages. From first to last leaves. Your datapage should be 3 copies.

OK, thanks bro

But.. What about Yellow card..

Do I need to do another one if I renew my passport.?
Yellow fever vaccination is once in a lifetime, since your new passport will carry your expired passport number on it, you won’t need a new card. Just ensure you add a copy of your expired passport datapage to the yellow card.

Good morning Everyone...happy New year.

Please I need a guideline here, I applied for France tourist visa short stay 90days. I have filled the form, print the form and the Receipt I saw in the system too after filling and submitting to the France site .

My questions now:

1. How can I book for France tourist visa appointment through TLS? I saw in France site you can book appointment using TLS but I did not see any link to direct me to book an appointment.

2. As a business self employed person. What's are the requirements I need? I have a CAC documents, tax certificate not the clearance both company and personal tax certificate, and company's account that bears my company.

What's the best health insurance cert I can use I need guildline. Also I'm travelling by May 19th that's what I filled. Is it early to book my appointment?

Thanks in Anticipation
1. https://fr.tlscontact.com/visa/ng
2. Add every document you can when submitting
3. There is nothing like ‘best health insurance certificate’ just ensure it genuine and verifiable. I personally use Allianz.
4. May 19th travel date is not too early as it falls within 6months of your application and proposed travel dates.
