Zooboy:
I'm moving through work visa
Pls can I be added to the whatsap group

You need to tell us how you got a work permit na.help us.
Besides, I have no idea of any whatsapp group.

Thanks

You guys are not even thinking fast.

This thing MTN did over the week by increasing data rates is called "social experiment".

Only experts and professionals in the industry understands.

They obviously knew there would be backlash, then again, Labour Unions threatned strikes.

Then what happens after, they re tracted and returned to old rates.

You can even see their response and how it is carefully crafted.

They also ensured to capitalise on the Valentine season to use it a tool for gestures and appeal

They have a great PR Team.

NA WA
Inbetween, if to say una no shout, na so them for jelo oo.
Moral of the whole thing is for people to always speak up.

You are most welcome. Regards

Jane111:
You have been so helpful and I cannot thank you enough. Thank you so so much, MOST GRATEFUL.......

Good idea. Let see how this goes.

jamiuola:
Thanks for the update. I appreciate it a lot; yes, I have cancelled the application. Hence, I am in the process of submitting a strong and consistent study permit application for them whilst I apply for SOWP and explaining and adding support documents for my two previous disapprovers. Also, if anybody knows how to calculate the required funds for IRCC, for a family of 5, it's $43,500, my wife's outstanding tuition fees are $15,500, and flight fees for four people on one way is $7000 CAD and medical insurance is $1600 for a year. Will $70,000 as POF suffice??
Thanks.

Abodkay:
Yes, we are many ooo

Make them answer quick sha, cos cos.

Use the current visa issued you, reapply for longer term.

rowlandwhy:
Hi all, I applied via VFS Abuja mid December but was asked to submit my passport last 2 weeks, which I did.
The visa was issued just after 2 days of submission. The problem is that instead of 2 years business visa, they gave me 2 months visitor's visa.

Take this info in best interest. Goodluck

Jane111:
Thank you so much, I am male lol........I am a first time applicant (per Schengen) but I have had more than 3 previous US visas in the last decade and currently have a canadian visa as well. As a first time Schengen applicant, pls is there something I should know? Lagos is the point of submission and thanks for the travel insurance........God bless you richly.

Alright, nice to know you have these extensive travel history.
Now, let me add.
Please ensure you submit all your evidences of relationship with your wife. I understand you know these documents, one of it is Marriage certificate, Marriage pictures, family pictures. You must prove to the officers handling your applications that you are a couple.
In addition, your previous visas and most recent, please attach it to your application on your submission date. You are not a first timer tho, you are a frequent traveler based on your travel history.
All the same. Please attach all evidences and state in your personal letters all these places you have been. Also, attach your datapage and visa copies , sufficient evidence to your wife's application, if she is a first time traveler with no history.

The reason I said this , please read again, is because, we have seen severally that family group visas can be rejected but they approve that of the main applicant who happens to be a frequent traveler. In most cases, it is usually the father or husband.

So please, don't play with this update, show them plenty evidence that you will return together if your trip is for vacation, if possible, do an affidavit of return through a lawyer.

This application is a walk over from my stats.

I no be visa official o, but i bless you to shine.

All the best.

If anyone has updates for us. Please share, we are many waiting updates. This is for all VFS Submissions, please note.

If anyone has updates for us. Please share, we are many waiting updates.

Hi Jane, i dont know how to adress you as he or she because of your name. That aside, yes, i confirmed today, service fee for appointment to Tls is 44k per person. For clarity on travel insurance pack, i dont know about your preference, but with ALLIANZ is not bad. Lastly, do not waste monies on premium lounge, you didnt tell us if you are first timer or frequent, your point of submission. Ok, you can keep that discreet, but know that premium lounge is a waste of monies unless if you have other engagements should you use it. Take into note that VIP submissions almost experience same waiting times as regular.

Jane111:
Hello,
I was just about to ask the same question. I just applied for a visit visa with wify and after following the prompt, the system generated a payment tag of 88K which I paid and I got an email saying that the appointment is confirmed. Here are my questions please: Is the visa fee 44k? because I am under the impression that your appointment can only be confirmed upon payment of visa fee but it is appearing as "service fee" and i was not expecting it to be 44k. Secondly please which company is the best to buy travel insurance from? Lastly, is the premium lounge worth it in terms of ease?
I remain grateful to you all, God bless you........

Wishing you a successful visa outcome. As for the amount to be paid at TLS for your visa application, probably someone else can help with the figures.
Shallom.

Goodevening Guys.


Any one received a mail to submit passport recently?

Lagos or Abuja Vfs


Anyone?

jamiuola:
Thanks for the response, donr worry i have rhick skin for this type of trolls and nor bothered. Anyways the reason for the denial is insufficient funding and I applied for a conference visitor visa, but now my situation has changed because am now eligible for SOWP. The reason why am contemplating to withdrawal the application is long response time for visitor visa ite could take up to 6 months before we get response. Hence I can't wait that long because I have bills racking up in Canada (my wife accommodation and living expecting) and Nigeria (my children sch fees and living expenses) is taking a toll on my finances.
So am thinking to withdrawal the application and apply all together, I can should a funds of up 70k CAD for myself, 3 kids and the remaining of my wife sch fees of 16k CAD and travelling expenses. Am just afraid that my 2 prior rejection will not impact the new application .

As bolded, reason i said, leave the ongoing application.


All the same, your situation isn't so bad. You have your spouse in Canada already, so that is a banker. The only thing you can do now is to be patient and await the outcome of the ongoing. This is what i think is best, await the outcome and know your next plan.


Prolly, another person can give you a technical advise.

Goodluck.

Please , i am asking again,
For those who recently applied for Tourist visas to France, Kindly advise on the sum total you paid at Tls?

Please advise.


Thank you.

Short Stay Visa , Kindly correspond.

@justwise

broooo, you are cruel. This is not a way to communicate with people. You can state your points clearly without these harsh words. Thread carefully Ok,

MufasaLion:
It's shameful calling yourselves adults especially with kids. Your wife is currently an MBA student in Canada, and she couldn't do the travel processes of your kids herself? Or even you couldn't do it, at your age?

An agent that has never stepped his foot on any foreign soil, in his life, is the one you relied on? People like you will be the ones to scream "I'm educated bla bla bla" when you are intimidating people below you.

Shameful!

@poster, You have done well. Na man you be, i understand you clearly. Alot of funds gone and all the mental stress that comes with it. I can advice you to do this, kindly , do not withdraw that ongoing application. Please await the outcome, however, what were reasons for your denial? You did not tell us that.


I will be waiting to read them, betterstill, you can shift these post to the Canada Group too. Goodevening

No, You submit applications for a study visa directly to the BLS at Elf , Lekki. Bls processes applications to the embassy, then also dispatches back to applicants if concluded. In cases where visa gets rejected, you appeal directly to the Spanish embassy. Your appeal must be in Spanish language.

Ayekotoo:
I thought Spanish consulate in Lagos uses BLS for visa application and appeal. Thanks

There are some visa applications you dont go through the bls, like work visas ,e t c.

Hope this helps.

I mean no harm, but collect your visa first before forming group o

Yettyfavour:
If you want to be added to the Spain whatsapp group kindly dm (08065336275). Please, serious mind only.

Thank you.

I know someone who recently went to the Spanish embassy in Lagos. In the feedbacks, Over 17 people that came for appeal got rejected.

I mean no harm o, but focus on getting your visa first before forming group.

Goodluck

The way you guys are still pursuing spain after what i noticed recently. The refusals ehn. You guys better be asking questions.

Not an issue.

How gracious. You are indeed very lucky to be chosen. Please treat their request quickly and do as advised.

beautyuche:
Yes I do have an extensive travel history with valid USA and Uk visa. I was also surprised with how fast this came. My reason for combining the Canada was because I felt it will take a while to be approved and i didn’t need to submit passport.

I also do not mind, if you would like to share your timeline. An insight into the document you submitted.
If you don't mind, Thank you.

You can show them evidence that you left France before your visa expired through your ticket. Your boarding pass show them when you return from morocco, they just want to be sure you left before the expiration of your visa. Show them this at tls and explain to them. Simple, not an issue.

Fathy001:
Good day house pls I need your assistance and advice regarding the France. I got France visa one month and inside the passport when I received it I see a small paper stating that I should present myself upon return at TLS center Lagos but the issue am having I have a program in Morocco which I can't be able to present for the appointment date they write on the small paper how can go about this pls. But am not overstaying if possible they can reschedule the appointment date for me. Thank you all I appreciate.

Slimbideb:
Please o

Is it true that TLS France has stopped accepting passport photos brought by applicants from home? Instead, they now require applicants to take a new photo at their center. If this is yes, could you let me know the cost of taking the photo there please 🙏?

Judawoo:
5 days only ? Fo tourist Canada visa this is my first time to read and hear very fast! Your passport is original or service passport ?

Is this same situation in Abuja?

Bulaveur:
I guess my previous history helped. Other than that, a dummy flight ticket, letter of intent and also itenary, bank statement and foreign visas.

I added an additional letter because my salary is in crypto so my bank account didn’t really have much in it as all my funds are in crypto.

Great.

Good news

Goodmorning and Thanks for your contributions. Unfortunately, i will not be responding further to issues around this topic. Interested parties or persons can do what they want on a public space with their personal data. I am not in a position to control anyone , I accept

Amylew:
Worst is it is genuine and they confirm it? Or it is genuine and they claim he didn’t pay the money and they deny him and he will apply again.
Let’s stop this attitude of fear.
Did you see his name there or what is the confidential information?
You don’t think we as fellow applicants ought to see this and be aware and take precautions if it also happens to anyone else applying from Nigeria?

Thank you and do have a great day.

Bulaveur:
I got the evisa though. Multiple entry. Applied this month and got it in a little over 2 weeks or so.

Congratulations. Wow.

Please share your documents checklist that worked for you.

rowlandwhy:
thank you Hunee
just that VFS is not taking their calls, after the automatic message the line goes off.
I sent an email since Tuesday and still havent received a response yet

It's unlikely you get a feedback but it is important you also know there is a deadline for you to submit that passport. So act fast
