Lmao okay. I don hear.

Any Nigerian entering Nigeria from france lately? Did they quarantine you? okay seriously, please share your airport experience, I wanna come back home for a bit.....

Please is there Anyone coming to school or LIVING in France coming to france from Nigeria soon? Please help a citizen out....thank you!

vozkini:

Not really bros. Your point is based on number 9. It’s not about coming back to nigeria. They must have a reason to eat my money nah.� am not interested in France jare. It’s my family that I want to take out for vacation and they choose france.

From experience, no2,that particular reason is more of a documentation problem. Check your docs or talk with someone who understands all the reasons for denial. It happened to a friend. I spoke with him and asked him to reapply with the right docs. within a week, he had his Visa. Good luck if you do decide to try again.

.

Harzontorh:


Many are coming .. pray they answer (approve) guys visa for about a month and half now.

Harzontorh where are you ooooo?

Depends on the school and whether your course is taught in English or not. My school requested it, but I wrote back with plenty Grammer, implicitly stating English is our first language in Nigeria. Well it was waived for me.

drdamy:

Harzontorh:


Congrats Bro, All the best!
Around what time exactly did you recieve the pick up message from vfs??

Like 4.52pm. But don't mind them my online tracking system already showed it had been returned to vfs from 3.15pm( I dey track per second ) but I wasn't close by. I'd have gone same day I saw it.

Kingp955:
Got my student visa today. Goodluck to everyone else

Did I see you at VFS?

Good news Brethren, I just picked my passport with one year student visa on it. Submitted on the 15th of August, got pick up notification on the 4th of September. Processing time, 13working days. Honestly, this was nothing short of Gods grace.

Lol. Forgive me darling. So happy for you. Have a safe trip when you leave.

I submitted all the documents on the checklist I got from campus france, as well as some additional documents that seemed relevant. Like attestation of class attendance from Alliance Française of Port Harcourt, my delf language diplomas A2 and B1. My university transcripts, certificates, awards (I didn't graduate by the way, I explained why in my cover letter). My dad is my sponsor. He got about 4 bank statements. One to prove he's been funding my education and upkeep. One of his salary account. Another to prove his extra source of income. The last was his savings account. The main bank account being his salary account had about 3 million in it. The 3 million was deposited in one day. But before that he had a good record, good inflow and outflow and a turnover of almost 2 million. He provided an explanatory note on his bank statements to clarify them.

I paid 49,615; Courier charges 4,150 The visa itself is about 35,105 plus 9,910 for vfs service charge. I had my interview at campus France on the 30th of July and submitted at vfs the same day. It was hell. Stayed there till almost 6pm. I got my pick up message on the 28th at about 4pm

By the way, I'm a girl.

Congratulations on your visa. Please what documents did you submit, what's your fees like and what was the SOA you submitted like? Also, what day and around what time exactly did you receive their pick up sms? Plenty questions bro sorry.

ededdneddy:


Hey. I got my visa today, one year. And I made so many mistakes in my application. One of them being I submitted SOA of 6/7 months. And another of one year. I don't know how it happened because I thought I wouldn't get the visa but I did. I'm so grateful. So don't worry, it'll be okay.

finbarrschuka:
Has anyone gotten a pick up SMS from VFS especially people who applied for student's visa between 30th July and 1st week of August in Lagos ??

Hey Have you picked up your passport yet? What date exactly did you submit?

Now following. Hopefully I should receive it now if you're following also.

bogolobango:
@MANGOandCORN check your pm pls

folavictor:

they want us to pay them money before they can forward our requests to landlords

No. you don't need to pay anything at all. Just register and login. unless you don't have a guarantor. But for that the https://www.garantme.fr website is pretty straightforward. Its only them and https://www.flightreservationforvisa.com I know that require a token for their service. immojeune is free. Just register and login. Don't complete your profile yet, just fill the short form under your accommodation of interest and then submit your application to the owner. wait and pray for a positive response from the owner. A tip will be to get the posters number and ask a French speaking friend to talk to the owner on your behalf. Get a direct email to continue your transaction

Foreign students still having housing problems try this website. https://www.immojeune.com/en/ hope it helps.

What are my chances

Bros your chances depend on more than just the variables you've posted above o! God forbid the consul should view someones application moments after quarreling with his or her boo Just do everything right you can and submit knowing you couldn't have been better prepared. Leave the rest to God.

yesBOSS222:
My question is, those who are successful in getting their accommodation certificates, how did they go about it? simple! Someone should just help us out.

Hey bro, sorry you're having a hard time. The accommodation thing is the most stressful part of student visa application. Have you tried leboncoin or studapart or crous? where is your school located?That might add to housing issues. you might need to contact a housing agency in your schools location in france to help with securing housing as a last resort. Just know you'll pay agency fee. Afterwards, try the website ogatboy suggested for a guarantor. Hurry though. It can take time and I know most schools resume first week in September. pele.

.

please for those that used leboncoin how did you get your accommodation Certificate?

tayotp:
Good Afternoon everyone on this thread.please how can one secure flight reservation?The ones am getting directly from the airlines expires in 48hrs.

Please help.

use https://www.flightreservationforvisa.com there's a service fee though. But it's not that much and you get a genuine longer reservation.

iyaaliyah:
Hello peeps. I submitted application on the 19th June. I am yet to receive my passport back oh. I keep tracking but still saying 'document has been sent to French embassy . I taya. I need to use my passport soon. who else is in my shoes oh.

That's a while. What type of Visa did you apply for and to which Embassy? But I'd be more worried if it took just 3days to get back to you.

Agbaletu:
Please, are these documents sufficient for a tourist visa for a couple?
Application form
Introduction letter from husband's company
Marriage certificate
Hotel reservation for 10 nights (paid hotel reservation before submitting the application)
Insurance
Flight reservations
2m savings account + 18500$ Dom account (husband's accounts)
T-bill certificate of 14m (husband)
Itinerary
Husband's employment letter
Husband has been to two East Africa countries like 6 times
Any need for the wife's statement of account and children's birth certificates?
6 different deed of conveyance documents of landed properties (one on wife's name, one on husband's name, one on both husband and wife's name and 3 on children's names)

Thanks

Hi, from all info I've gathered from various sources, I don't think it's necessary to include wife's bank account especially if husband is fully sponsoring and it's not a fluids as husband's. If it is, then the family would require extra documentation like wife's leave letter, introduction letter from place of work, payslips or CAC documents , tax clearance certificate for both husband and wife, etc. It doesn't hurt to include children's birth certificates as well as school fees reciept and letter of exemption from school for holidays if travel plans collide with school session. Better to be over prepared than under prepared. PS. From what I gather The French love documentation. But be sure it's relevant documentation. Dont forget to muliply required expenditure by the embassy per day for the duration of your trip times the number of people travelling and ensure you have up to that ammount plus extra, to show as expendable funds in your statements. I hope this helps. Cheers.
