=LafCaf post=136341498]Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share this good news with you guys!

It’s my first try at a Schengen Visa (France) and I got the Visa🎊

I applied for a 7days Tourist Visa
Biometrics was done on 10th of July, 2025
Was asked to come and pick up July 28th, 2025

I went to pick up today and I got a 1month Visa.

Thank you everyone😇

Hello, Congrats on your visa. When are you likely to travel? I would like to connect with you. I would be in Paris too by August.

Thank you! It’s Ethiopian Airlines

@ Lafcaf congratulations again

Please from which airline did you do ur dummy flight bookings?

If there’s a way you can go about it, I think you should…

I would advise you get an accommodation that costs more to boost your application since you can always cancel your booking.

Mine was higher but I later rebook a €590 accommodation for a 4days stay in Paris.

Sankarastudent:
Do you advise I resubmit another form since the hotel I filled in the form cost €259 for seven days
I would like to reserve another hotel that cost more but the names won’t match so do you advice I just fill a new form
Thank you

I didn’t book tours, I also didn’t add itinerary. I just explained properly in my introduction letter that I would be exploring the beautiful city of Paris & any attraction I can jump on to unwind from work.

2. I would advise to book a hotel that shows you’re comfortable. You can always cancel the booking later. it’s dummy booking and you are not paying for it. Mine was like 1M for 4days stay in France.

3. My advise is if you can have more, you can add to it.
Mine was above that though

No, I don’t. It was my very first visa (although I’ve been to Ghana, Togo, Benin but I was told it doesn’t count so I didn’t provide travel the stamp 😩)
Submitted documents:

Travel insurance
Dummy Flight booking
Dummy hotel booking
Personal Introduction
4 months bank statement (i provided my dollar account, I had more than 5K Dollars there)
Letter explaining the inflow in my statement
Work documents ( I work remotely)

Utility bill
Property documents
Vehicle document (including my tinted permit report from the Police🙈)

I hope this helps…

firebreather:
Congratulations. Do you have any previous visa like UK, US, Canada etc?

Also, it'll be nice if you can share some little info about your application (i.e. submitted documents).

Congratulations once again, enjoy your trip!
