HELLO GUYS,
PLEASE I AM ABOUT APPLYING FOR NBCC. I want to know if they require sending official transcripts to the college for post graduate studies or if I can use my students copy for application… I Anticipate your response..
Thanks…..

HRprof:
Do they list all the countries to qualify as travel history? I’m talking based on experience with VFS when submitting applications they remove any stamp visa and accept sticker visa which implies that most African countries and Dubai uses stamp on arrival not sticker visa on your passport so they are out of the qualification.
If you have sticker visa on your passport to any country use it as travel history.
My opinion though

ednut1:
whether its written on plain paper or letter head it has no impact on the application. To me blank paper is just fine.

rockachic:

marveltrades01:

marveltrades01:

Anyone here? This thread is too quite.

Are people no longer traveling to give birth in Canada?

Help please.

Ashirioluwa:
No one here. Are people not applying for Irish visa anymore?

Wuraoyinbo:
I saw on the Schengen page that kids below age 6 do not pay for Visas. Please, will they pay for service fee (€40) since they aren't paying for Visa. Because the service fee is for Visa applicants? Thank you.

Hi,

The Norwegian Embassy does one thing that i know, they are good at checking how desperate you are.

If the reason for first refusal was the same, you could have given it a time before re-applying, i can't predict the outcome should you eventually apply to the French Consulate, but sincerely with no travel history and two recent refusals, your chances are very slim.

Regards,

Princelano:
Yes, twice this year, reason for refusal is that I may not return as I have no ties even after submitting every document on the checklist, land documents, employment letter and leave from work, pay slip, yet bitter breakfast

Princelano:
Hello Everyone,

I want to apply for a visa to France or any Schengen country you'll advice me to. I have no travel history, I've lived my life in Nigeria. Recently got a job where I earn 46k monthly but my account statement over the last 6 months has done transactions over 3m. I've been denied Norway visa twice recently, so I don't know what advice I can get from you all. I really need to hear from the experts here, please be straight with me, I need the pros and cons, I can chest it all ��

"With a balance less than 300k"

Sometimes it's like people don't think how much do you think two years' rent and house furnishing costs in Lagos? Do you think that's something I could have paid for along with a multi-city flight ticket and other normal expenses if 300k is what's normally in my bank account, or that the embassy is stupid to have approved a two month trip based on 300k alone?

All I will say is don't drag finances with who you don't know.

As to your other comment, yes people like you take these cities as the pinnacle of travel achievement as if air pollution, congestion and landmarks that have been thoroughly cheapened by mass media are what everyone is looking for on vacation. Abi is it buildings and trains we've never seen before? Anyway you're welcome to continue to do so but I hope for your own sake that one day you step out of that bubble and go somewhere that will actually wow you. A single day of snorkelling in Tulum was a greater experience than all the cities I've ever stepped in put together.

Ashirioluwa:
This is her 3rd Schengen visa

Ashirioluwa:
Passport delivered yesterday. Visa approved.

Duration of stay: 90

Multiple

Expiration date: July 2023.
One year visa. I don’t know that they give one year visa.


Glory be to God.

CowbellY:
You visit Paris twice a year. I lived there. I tell you it's shiit when you leave the tourist areas. The whole city smells, it's dirty. Now you're going to argue with me. Because I see in your initial reply you tried to make the op be "grateful" for getting a French visa.

Anyway, I'm not here to ruin the mystic for anyone. By all means if anyone is able to travel let them visit Paris. It's really nice especially when you see it for the first time. Stick to the touristy areas and take lots of pictures.

CowbellY:
Lol but Paris really is a sh*t hahahaha. And I say this as someone that's lived there and even speak French. Heck, my French friends don't even like Paris like that. I'll even say the Eiffel is ugly but I do not like to spoil the mystery for others. Have you been in Paris in February ? Have you gone beyond the tourist areas ? Gone into the city ? I mean the Eiffel makes for good pictures, and there are indeed some colorful spaces but the cost of the city is (as was said earlier) exaggerated.

Lyon, Strasbourg, Marseille other french cities I'll live in before Paris.

artofalternativ:
I don't understand people that travel to France for tourism and stay in Paris. If you do even a little research you'll see that that city is highly overrated as a travel destination

Not even only France, in most countries the capital and most big cities will be oriented towards government, business, industry, finance, etc (as they should) not holiday-goers. There will still be tourist attractions and entertainment but if you don't know somebody who lives there that can show you around properly, you won't have the best time

If you're travelling solo and you really want to enjoy yourself, look for where the country's own citizens go to for vacation if they can. In this case that would be the south/the French Riviera. Beautiful towns and villages, fresh air, plenty plenty beaches, and the people are friendlier

artofalternativ:
- Passport, application form,etc
- Copies of previous visas (three US visas in the past 7 years)
- 6 months bank statements
- 6 months payslips
- Contract of employment
- Official letter confirming my sabbatical from my HR
- Flight tickets (paid)
- Hotel and Airbnb reservations (unpaid)
- Invitation from a family member in another EU country where I'll be spending part of my sabbatical (letter, notarised copy of ID and proof of address)
- Travel insurance (it's a two month trip but I bought three months)
- Copy of my Lagos rent receipt
- Very detailed itinerary since I'm visiting multiple countries and cities

In the itinerary/cover letter I also explained the proof of funds issue and hinted that I wouldn't pay two years' rent and a hefty amount to furnish the place if I want to japa next month

Kingingalways:
The date column does not work so form does not move to the next page. Hopefully it i fixed before Wednesday because I cannot afford to lose my appointment

Nchabuomo:
This is not true. I decided not to reply again to let it rest but...... I hold a 12-month multiple-entry Schengen visa with a 90-day stay. It means I cannot stay in the Schengen area for more than a 90-day stretch it does not mean that I can only stay in the Schengen area for 90 days in a year. The rule to follow is 90/180 and if your stay is not greater than this then you are fine. But OP please do whatever you want.

Nchabuomo:
Hi, a stay is counted as you being inside the country for a given duration if you leave the country it resets. Using the US as an example on a tourist visa you cannot stay longer than 6 months in one stay even if you have a 2-year visa.[color=#990000][/color]

You can come for 6 months at a go, leave for one for day and get an exit/entry stamp and come back the following day. You have not broken the terms of your visa.

For OP to break the terms of their visa with regards to duration of stay they would need to enter France and stay in the country for 31 days.

This second highlighted is not our business but OPs business. I personally love travelling, and I do that often; OP could also be that sort of person. I also know people that take breaks from work and travel a whole year.

You are right about the 90/180 though. Your max duration of stay within a 6-month window is 90.

Nchabuomo:
That's not true. If the visa validity is for 30 days and it's multiple entries, then OP can travel and spend 30 days at once and come back, travel for 10 days and come back and later travel for another 20 days. So as long as OPs visa is valid, they can travel and spend any amount of days they want within the validity of the visa and not longer than the approved stay in this case 30 days.

burk:
Please check number of stay days as validity is different from visa duration, also please can you share your business cover letter, and list of other documents you submitted?? Thanks


Well number of approved stay is 30 days and im going to spend 9 days and return to Nigeria. The visa is multiple which means i can go as many times within the validity but not exceed 30 days at each trip.

Documents submitted
Certificate of incorporation
Forms CO2 and CO7
3 months bank statement
Invitation letter from my Host Company
Hotel reservation
Ticket bookings
Reference letter from the bank

HRprof:
All sticker visa is accepted but stamp visa is not accepted like Dubai and all African countries with stamp visa
The challenge he has is overstayed visa which might affect him.

tubsyee:
Good day everyone, pls I want to apply
For France visa with my husband. He qualifies as a frequent traveller as he has been to USA and some other countries but I do not. I’ve only been to Dubai. Can he add me to his appointment booking as a frequent traveller? Your response will be appreciated

HajiaRai:
In ONE document, I advise you include an SOP (you can google a simple template to say why you're visiting, what you'd do there, for how long, when you'll leave), birth certificates (yours and offsprings'), marriage certificate, family photos, NIN, vaccination card, bank statements (obtain the one-page mystatement from your banks either via online banking/app), hotel and airline reservations, company documents, scans of your visas and annotated passport pages over last the 10 years, etc, etc.

Basically, everything that supports the info filled on your form. Combine all in one document and then compress it to below 2MB. Then you can upload this file as your additional documents.

Compress with an app like ilovepdf.

All the best!

NOTE: the portion on the form which asks if Yu have ever been denied a visa is referring to every country you ever applied to, not only Canada. (I heartily thank nairalanders who brought this to my notice through their comments on this thread).

Xyz7:
Thanks Hajia
2 photocopies of your passport BioData page.

They will kindly provide you with a copy of the consent form to fill.

Don't forget your pen!
