Please I need some guidance good people. I got invited by my employer to attend a summit in Spain for 1 week. I want my spouse to accompany me. My spouse works in a very good organisation too.

Please what can I do to bring in my spouse. Approval rate for my organisation is 100%. Please guide me. Thank you 🙏

]You will be making a very big mistake by joining your spouse application to yours. You are the invitee for the summit and your information is written on the letter of invitation.
Stick to that in your interest. The people who take decisions at the embassy dont have any other job than to raise brows.
Goodluck

fine oga mi, ese gan

Ashirioluwa:
I dey. How your end?

Oh ok, how are you na? long time no see

Ashirioluwa:
No, I meant through other embassies, like the French embassy, German embassy here in Nigeria.

You mean they applied for these applications from Spain?

Ashirioluwa:
Yes, but most of them didn't necessarily get their visas through the Spanish embassy.

I hope you all are aware that if you are on a tourist visa for over 30 days or more , you can apply for a study visa directly from spain.
All you need do is get a lawyer, who would help you process your documents from the immigration department or if you like, you get it done through a representative.

do you have an appointment?

HenryG:
Hello everyone,
Please I would like to seek for your opinion on how much can be advised to have in a bank statement for the 6 month period for work visa application considering this current currency challenge.
ANY suggestions and advice would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

@lioness5280, send me a dm. I want to understand why you don't like Nigerians. I seem to be the only one that can calm you down.

Oya dm me

davodyguy:
Nope.

Application centres are not proxy to consulate Hence, there's no regularisation needed on submitted applications. As regards his/her question, processing time has nothing to do with any of the VAC and the ongoing transfer.

TLS will close down completely on 19th December, after which documents would be formally transferred to VFS. Until then, those that submitted via TLS, would still get contacted by TLS up till 18th December 2024 to come pick up their passports.

If you didn't receive a decision by Midnight 18th December, 2024 you'll be contacted by VFS from 19th via mail


Let's say you did biometrics with TLS in November, 2024 you'll still be contacted by TLS till 18th December, 2024. But if you don't pick up from them, they'll send your passport to VFS office in the same Ikeja, VI or Abuja where VFS operates from

David, I wrote in very simple and clear English. Yes or No, is not the issue.

Relax

The concerned person has picked the info he wants.

Notifications on applications comes viz viz Tls/vfs and the UKVI either ways, you will get notified.

Simple.

You can carefully read the trail of texts again to understand the inquiries.

Regards.

ofcourse, it may take sometime for regularization, however it is not an issue as your emails are very much active for notifications viz-viz the transitioning

Makaegbobi:
Okay, thank you. I know that they don't have influence on the decision process but I noticed that visa decision news has been a little scarce since the switch. I was wondering if the transition is causing delays with receiving a visa decision.

Congratulations

Nigerians don carry their kaya leave Poland alone

freedomtours has finally taken over this page
Carry go dear

Difrent:
And most don't even know the difference between an arrest and honouring police invitation.
Not everyone that goes to police station is arrested , some go to honor invitation and are allowed to go home afterwards

We are not a peppersoup class. We know right and pay less attention to beer parlor reports.

Invitation and Arrest is not same.

Thanks man

Rhetorics

Africankel:
The official statement is on tourist and business visas. And not everyone is entitled to the five years visa - only business people who they deem qualified.

Secondly, I read on another thread and noticed that people are mistaking the non submission of passport as visa free, this assumption is wrong. Nigerians still need to apply for visas to travel to SA, except that they won't be required to submit their passports at the time of applying. Moreover, we have been enjoying this service for nearly three years, so I don't understand why that is being announced now.

Media Propangada

Dayof19750:
Hi guys I have a question. I'm seeing that we need direct confirmation from the hotel for our application. But I've fully paid for the flight through Expedia app. Can I use the flight itinerary and accommodation itinerary for the visa application?

You dont pay for a visa without an approval "first" - do not do it again in your own interest, because not all tickets are refundable.
In this case, process this visa at the vfs to avoid the online drama.
Yes, you can use bolded but do not pay for it.
The embassy disapproves visas because of accomodation or hotel from third parties.
Do your booking directly with the hotel.

You will be guided here on which hotel to use @africankel

Allegation does not flow in the ears of Nigerians. Once an arrest is made, that is final decision. Nigerians

Angelfrost:
Well, it's an allegation... Let's see how it pans out.

That said... The Nigerian Church scene is overdue for sanitisation.


We can't say this enough... The scandals and issues are becoming alarming.

CAN and PFN need to put their houses in order, and do something about the massive scourge of hirelings and apostates.

The reports in the media space oflate are mostly by fresh guys.

They are talking about tourist and business visas.

Which one do we follow. Abi una no notice
?

ask him/her for login

Mercydecy:
Thank you, because the barcode keeps saying website not available. That was why i came here

the evisa has a barcode. what other verification do you need?

Mercydecy:
Hello everyone, please is there a way I can verify the evisa an agent did for me

ok, ask for your login from the agent and tell him you need it for clearance at the airport.
Then and there, you see everything.

Tourism is Tourism. Do not complicate your application

knightingale:
A question please. My travel purpose is tourism at the same time I would like to dedicate a day to fly to another Schengen country to source for suppliers for my business (not buying any product, just sourcing suppliers for future business transactions) Can I mention this in the itinerary and cover letter? Is it safe to mention that? I am confused if they might deem the purpose of my visit as business and not tourism.
Please advise. Thanks a lot

Goodluck

You need to visit 21c Kofo Abayomi,
Nigerians are very active on traveling to Spain.

emifeWorld:
I submitted my documents at the vfs abuja on 11th of November, and I got mail today to submit passport. Please what does that mean? Will it be approved? I am just scared. Anyone who has gone through this process should please shed more light on this🙏🙏🙏

Submit your passport for sticker visa

Ajalalomo:
The ticket from Cotonou to Paris - what is departure & return dates?

Dec 5th - Dec 9th

Air fares are not fixed. Book in time

443$

Ajalalomo:
This is his first visa

He has to use that visa. I am not sure if those guys are here, but a few people got these visas in the past and didn't travel with it.
Consequently, they have not been able to secure another Schengen visa after that.

I hope he listens to the advise.

I was checking expedia today for low fares and I saw Brussels airlines flies Paris for about 432usd on return , so check . But the said person has to travel via Cotonou if he wants a low cost rate as the lagos airport now is having very high traffic thus leading to increased ticket fares.

I wish him luck.

In your own interest, if that visa is your first schengen visa, you had better go and spend like 5days and return. In your own interest. Goodluck

Ajalalomo:
Please I need you guys to help me look into this.

I am supposed to go to France in the last week of November, but I will not be able to do it because my employer recalls me back from annual leave and pays me cash in lieu of the leave. 

I obtained a one-month Shengen (France) visa earlier this month, but I will not be able to travel or use this visa because it will expire on December 24.

While my visa is still valid, can I go ahead and apply for a new visa for my proposed trip in March 2025, or should I wait until my current visa expires before I apply?

One of my junior ones asked me the above question, but I don’t know how to answer the question correctly for him.

Ok, perfect so we can agree now that the way forward is through the embassy.

Please take these advise all prospects.

Goodluck

From recent reports here, looks like it has been a while someone got en evisa.

Can you guys confirm this ?

Milito:
Its actually my 4th Schengen. But I always put a valid accommodation reservation.
I assume they always confirm them, or they do not? I'm just concerned of the implications if they decide to confirm and they are told the booking does not exist.

It does , but Same you can't buy a voucher or book a flight without a visa approval.

So it's understandable.

Milito:
Yes, I understand. They didn't even ask me to confirm it, they just totally cancelled it and when I sent an email, they apologised that it's a system error.

But I'm just concerned that there'll be no valid accommodation booking for the application.

Even if I do another one, I wonder how I can communicate the new details.

Milito, Relax na.

Is this your first time?

Relax.


Pray for success

Milito:
Hallo,

Please what do you think i can do? I received email of cancellation of my hotel booking just 2 days after submitting my application. I dont even know how it happened.
🤦🏼‍♂️ 🤦🏼‍♂️

Relax. It's just a dummy.

You don't have to pay.
