Go to google and search for Axa mansard Nigeria, go to the website that pops up and look for travel insurance. The amount will be quoted in naira and will be significantly cheaper.

Are you an employee or a business owner?

BruceXavier:
Wrong advice. Omitting information about your bio-data is sensitive. Upon scrutiny that application will be refused. Unintentional mistakes lead to visa refusals.

Hello everyone,
I applied for a tourist visa to France, and my appointment date is the 13th. I have a few questions regarding my documents:

1. Is it mandatory to submit a Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) for my CAC-registered business, even though the CAC status is active on the website but the TCC is not yet ready?

2. I am also employed — should I prioritize showing my personal employment documents or my business documents?

3. I have a personal bank statement with a balance of ₦5 million, and my business (corporate) account has about ₦6 million. Can I submit both?

4. Does the opening balance on the bank statement matter, or is the current balance more important for visa evaluation?

5. Do I need to pay for my flight in full before submission ?

I’d appreciate any advice or insight from those who’ve gone through similar processes. Thank you!

I doubt it will affect other future Schengen applications. Despite that some of these countries share information behind the curtain, Schengen applications are a bit more tempered. There's even no part of the form they ask for previous visa refusals.

But this may negatively influence future UK applications. That was why I suggested you guys should take the planned trip to a Schengen country. Those UK guys are too mechanical.

If you and your spouse have a stable job and good account you'll get the Schenghen visa.

Milito:
One can 'assume' the ECO was not detailed enough to see that you have already used the visa following your last application.

Or, it can be, that, it was noted, but the person just felt traveling with the entire family within a short interval to your last trip on a visa you applied for, stating you are going alone is a red flag. Basically, because the family you left behind must have been highlighted as strong home ties.

Though it's late now, but a cover letter explaining this would have been helpful and may positively influence the ECO. A statement that "you have already used the visa for your initial intentions but now seeking entry clearance for a family vacation and hopefully, you'll be using the visa with them since its still valid and a multiple entry visa."

I don't have any suggestion for immediate remedy as I doubt challenging it will scale through as the ECO seems to have legitimate concerns & did not actually make an error in exercising his/her discretion even though it seems so. The evidence in prints that will be tabled is to their favour. Legal issues relies on available facts and not sentiments.

You guys should probably take the holiday to a Schengen country and then reapply to UK together later.

That way, you'd have demonstrated a clear pattern of holiday with family.

These officers are not behaving fairly. Circumstances change, and plans can adapt, but it's important for everyone to remain cautious when submitting. I believe this refusal indicates that the officer suspects you intend to obtain a visa for your entire family to elope. In my opinion, this is quite unfair. They should have issued the visa considering you traveled and returned. Your graduation was in February, and this is now May, are they really saying you can't take a family vacation just because you mentioned you weren’t traveling with them?

Regardless, I urge everyone to learn from this situation. Be clear about your intentions from the beginning. If I were in your position, I would challenge this refusal because it seems both unjustified and debatable its not subjective.
