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.

Greetings House, please is it possible to apply for a France Visa (tourism) as a family (of 3) on a single visa application? Kindly advise.

You can apply as a group but different application.

I got a passport request for visitor application and my family is already saying congratulations, I am confused, does the request automatically means I will get my visa?

Congratulations! Once you get a passport submission request, it will be returned with your visa. Wishing you journey mercies in advance.

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.

Yes, with a balance of 4M

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

Ewaoluwayemi:
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

My agent said my visa was refused but told me no reason was given....Please I would like to know if it is possible for reasons for refusal not to be stated

Not possible! How can they deny you without any reason? You better approach him and see what he packaged for you and your refusal letter.
Atleast every refusal comes with a notification. I pray you’ve not been banned sef due to what he must have cooked and submitted for you. SMH

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all well. I need your advice regarding an application for a Schengen visa from France.

The applicant has a work program scheduled in Norway in mid-June and will be transiting from France to the Netherlands.

What are the rules regarding showing flight tickets or reservations? I believe the applicant will catch a flight to Norway on the same day from France.

Would the applicant need to provide a hotel reservation for their stay in France? Any advice on how to proceed with the application would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The applicant should just apply that he/she is going to Paris, France and leave all other trips out of his/her application, he/she should calculate the total duration on the trip and use it it book France hotel reservations and return ticket. You should leave all other trips out of the application. His-her focus should just be a TRIP TO FRANCE (if you’re applying for tourism visa o)

Hello everyone!
I had applied for a tourist visa to France in 2018 and I was denied.
According to the letter of denial with several reasons, my consultant said the the asterisk one is the reason for my denial..
And I think of reapplying for this Olympics game and I met another consultant who says that every reason stated was why I was rejected. I am confused. How true is this? See attachment!
I'm new here. A response will help. Thanks.

Reason No 2 (the ticked box) is the reason for your refusal. Not all reasons pls. Disregard the second consultant.
