I saw your request to send e-mail. I am unable to accept, this being a public forum, online anonymity and all, also the carrying on of private conversations has facilitated fraud. But if you go on the thread and quote me with your question. I promise to provide an exhaustive answer to your question to the best of my ability. Thanks

It is alright. My question and the clarify I seek is not what I can post here so that I don't jeopardise other people's chances of getting approvals.

I wil be spending only one week due to my work/office schedule.

Please I need tips as a first time travellers

Tips on travelling to Italy.

Any other tips that will be useful

Please how did you book for the appointment?

iamtoby:
Thank you for your response. I have tried different browsers. I have used by USD Card and even asked someone to pay for me from the U.S. all we got is payment declined. I am really getting frustrated with the payment issue. I welcome suggestions or assistance on the online payment or if there is an alternative way to make payment.

Call your bank to remove the restriction on your USD card temporarily, maybe for 24hrs.
You should be able to pay successfully with it afterwards.

MomssSpaghetti:
How do you mean?

Please do not fall for what this guy above you is saying. He's possibly an agent looking to scam you.
I was at TLS yesterday and today and I tried everything possible to get in there. None worked. They have express instruction from Italian embassy not to accept applications from first time travellers. They went further to say the situation change around November. So, I will suggest you wait till then.

KEYSERSOZE:
I tried doing a walking gor the past 2 days now.

They wouldn't allow me in

I need a contact that might be help...


Any ideas, suggestions


Thanks

Please did you succeed in getting into TLS?
Kindly share the contact that assisted you please.

MomssSpaghetti:
I just confirmed the same from a TLS customer care rep. I wonder what the alternative is.

Please did they mention when they will likely commence?

MomssSpaghetti:
Hello Everyone, please I need your help.

1) I want to travel for an international conference that will be taking place in Milan this year. Can I apply for a tourist visa to Italy because the conference is only in Milan this year and I highly doubt I can get some of the documents required for a business visa?

2) How do I book for a flight without paying? I used Wakanow and thought I had a nice deal where I had to pay a down payment to secure the booking. Alas, it was a payment plan with a 24-hour payment completion period. I.E. they wanted me to complete my booking payment the next day.

3) I can't seem to get an appointment date on TLS connect's website.

I will appreciate any extra tips you have for me, thank you.

I think Italy is not accepting applications for now. I have tried for weeks, no appointment dates are available.
For the flght ticket, you can book on hold using Qatar Airways. The ticket will be valid for 48hrs though.

Well the documents I submitted are:- Bank Statements of 6 months, Land Documents, Hotel Reservations and Flight Reservation, Travel Insurance and then passport..mind I had 8m+ when I applied and I was denied

You need to provide more details.
It is not about how much you have in your bank account.
You will need to show ties to your country. This can be demonstrated by showing evidence of good employment, marriage certificate if you are married, your children's birth certificate if you have kids, property documents etc.
If you are self employed, you will need to provide your business account statement, evidence that your business is doing well and that you have made plans to ensure the business does not suffer in your brief absence.
You need to also show detailed itinerary of your planned activities while there.
Booking for some tours will also help your case.
And then, a good cover letter providing a summary of who you are and what your plans are and commitment to the VO that you will definitely come back after your vacation to continue your job or business.

Dear Nairalanders, does anyone know whether it’s a normal thing to not have gotten any update on my Canada Visitor’s Visa since 2 months of Biometrics? Or is there cause for any alarm? I got invited for my biometrics at the IRCC office Central Area, Abuja, 3 weeks after my application and since then I’ve been anticipating for the next course of action. Someone with similar experience or valuable information please comment 🙏. Thanks

Did you mean it took 3weeks before you received biometrics letter?
I submitted an application one week ago and haven't recieved mine. Any idea how long it takes to get the biometrics letter?

Hello house,
Please I submitted a new application me and my wife on the new IRCC portal last week friday. Till now, after one week, we are yet to get biometrics letter. Please, is this normal? Or do I need to raise webform?
Kindly assist clarify please.

Hi Guys, I got Denied on my Italy Tourist Visa today, for the reason as stated “ the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable” so I don't know if it would be nice to re-apply now but to another Schengen country or wait some more time

I am sorry for the refusal. Please before you reapply, review and improve your documentation, it matters alot in Schengen visa application. You need to show that you have meticulously planned your trip and everything is taken care of.
You can also share the documents submitted and we will guide you on the areas to improve on before reapplying.
Good luck next time.

Good evening guys,
I must thank everyone for always sharing information about schengen visa application. Please I need your answers. I submitted my application for Italian schengen visit visa at TLS Lagos on 14th November. On the day of submission, TLS officials rejected my property documents, marriage certificate, birth certificates of my children and some other documents because I didn't bring their originals. I have been hoping that the embassy will reach out to me to supply those documents since I mentioned in my cover letter that I attached them to my application. I didn't get any call, today I received an email from TLS for passport pick up.
Please does it mean my application was approved or declined? I expected an email from them stating their decision on the application but I didn't. I am just worried. Kindly assist with answers.
Thank you.

Guys,
I have picked up my passport and I was granted the visa.
I sincerely appreciate everyone for making available good information.
Your inputs contributed to my success.
Thank once again.

Please before showcasing your ignorance on SM, always do a little research. A DGM in a bank has annual renumeration of about 30m with other benefits. He is in no way a small person in that organisation. If you research properly, you might not find up to 50 DGMs in all the banks in the country.

Can someone please assist me with steps to install global Rom of miui 12.7 on my mi 11
The Chinese Rom it is currently running on is messing up my whatsapp and contact app. Whatsapp calls do not wake the phone up. My call history displays numbers instead of contact names for the number saved on my phone. I really need to switch to global Rom asap.

Hello nairalander!

Unknown someone keeps sending money to my diamond access bank, this is the second time am recieving money to my account, which is 30,290 & 30,136 naira and the text on the remark is a foreign name.

At first i got alert of 30,260 with remark "Stepan zemalek", at first i thought someone mistakenly sent money to my account, i said lemme wait if i will receive a call from someone claiming the money but nobody called to claim the money, not knowing that my bank have deducted 530 naira for sms fee nd 200 naira for stamp nd postal fee, i have to transfer the money the money to my rubies bank account with the hope somebody will call me nd claim the money.

Secondly, i got another alert of 30,136 with the remark saying "Jaonna LiebeltEtzler/18.9.20".

I dont remember giving anybody my bank details apart from my mom nd uncles, i have called my bank customer care to complain about it and to know who sent the money from my account but he said he cant disclose the information to me. i have complained to the bank and the keep saying their normal bla bla.

I need help on what to do next....below is the screenshot of the alert...

Bro, I work in a bank.... Better believe what I am about to say.
These funds were not credited to your account erroneously. Either you or someone around you had given out your account details to some foreigners who did telegraphic transfer to you.
Of course, the amount will be in naira because your account is a naira demoninated account. So, the foreign currency was converted to naira and credited to you.
Now, here's my advice....
Go to the bank on Monday and file an official complaint on this stating that you give consent for the funds to be repatriated back to the senders.Ensure a mail is sent to the treasury department of the bank on this before you leave.
Leave the money in your account and wait for the bank to process the repatriation request.

Please who has mi band 5 for sale? I need it urgently.

Yes... very available
