On the site if I can still remember it’s written firstname (s) so write Your Firstname and middle name in the same box. Then only your surname on the last name box

For those filling applications for visa, make sure you fill the appropriate office forms. Abuja for Abuja, Lagos for Lagos… and have photocopies of all your documents. Print all your documents before going to VFS… it was damn expensive to print with the guys around vfs… all these is so you don’t have to spend unnecessary money or be stressed on that day.


All the best.

BTW I got my visa (long stay) and it took 3days
Thank you everyone for the tips here and there

Congrats

sihamey:
That will be fantastic if you can get that from your sons school

Thank you so much

sihamey:
As a husband you do not need to write for the company since you have written a consent letter, let someone else do the introductory letter for the company.

Okay thank you , what do you think of a school writing a letter for resumption date for the son ? That will be among the documents , is that a good idea

sihamey:
Every limited liability company had more than one directors. You have to write an introductory letter as a husband given your consent and support for their trip then someone else should write a letter of introduction of your wife on behalf of the company. One your staff can do that.

Okay thanks , the introduction letter for the company that the husband giving support will write , is it different from consent letter that the Husband will write giving consent and been aware for the trip ?

sihamey:
You have to appoint someone to act as your secretary to write the letter

What if it’s a wife and husband that owns the company , limited liability company and both of their names are on the Cac , but it’s just the wife and son that’s traveling , who will write and sign on the letter ?

pufframmy:
ooh sorry about that i always think u are a man

Lol no I’m not

pufframmy:

Lol I’m a lady but thank you

Good morning everyone
Is it compulsory to add a child school id and resumption letter from school as a document when applying as proof ?

youngprince111:
I booked for family of 4 separately and it was successful, jst try changing the last num included to ur passport num and try again for not loosing the mothers appointment date.
Best of Luck.

Yes I was able to do that this morning ,thank you so much

And please when filing form for a form , what does guardian status mean and in what section did you input the child school name because after clicking on student , I’m asked to fill in name , email and address of teaching establishments or organization

Please under status while filing a form for a minor what does it mean , should I leave it blank or what should I click on ?

Candybright:
You can use another email and register the second applicant, just make sure to pick same day.

I am able to book for the mother now I can’t book for the son , I have open two different emails and it’s still saying I have exceeded the amount of appointments
I added 0 & 1 still the same thing

Candybright:

beautyuche:

Good afternoon everyone , please how do I go about the visit visa please … what’s the first step

kennyliza:
Thanks...can I still go ahead with the same visa form please knowing that the hotel has cancelled my reservation and no more available room for my intended vacation dates

Or can I filled another visa form with a successful hotel booking and go for my appointment with it next week?

Yes that’s what I did too

kennyliza:
Thanks for the response, I used the same booking.com to book for an hotel but this was cancelled because of card verification issue

The sad thing is that I already put the hotel name on my application form ...

It happened to me too , just hope it’s not an issue , just have faith

cucumbar:
Anything is possible.. only the consular general can decide.
That was how I almost did not go for my appointment because of some comments here that suggested that it is almost impossible to get a tourist visa as a first timer without prior travel to UK, US , Australia or Canada or having their visa in your passport. I didn’t have any of those.
If no be say I been don pay for the appointment and didn’t want my money to waste, I for dump the idea.
My passport came back in 2days, I thought I had been denied before I got my passport. My application was successful.
Just give it your best shot. Include as many documents as possible, and hope for the best.

Nice , congrats

larlar20:
Congratulations on your visa. Please how did you get you flight itinerary, I am preparing to send in my documents for schengen visa, but I cant seem to find one that is free.

Just use wakanow and click book , you don’t need to pay anything , use the correct date too

QuackZulu:
For anyone who has been to France recently, is the covid test still required for fully vaccinated travellers?
Also, is the booster shot requirement enforced and is it true that it is to be taken nine months after the last covid vaccine shot?

I didn’t do any covid test and I also think it has to do with the airline , confirm from your airline too

QuackZulu:
Yeah baba,
I did and I got the visa, although with a note stating upon return I have to come to the Embassy in Abuja. Is this normal?

Congrats , I wasn’t given one though but you should go when you are back

Maame4U:

Portblueholland:
Hi all,

I have a question. I was trying to book an online appointment for my mother at VFS lagos but it seems they don't have any spot for " short stay/family visits first time traveller" but since she has been abroad three times already in the past I decided to book "short stay frequent traveller" I hope this won't be a problem? she has never been to the EU/Schengen and its her first time and I really need her here next month to take care of my baby. I am also having issue with flutterwave they won't accept my credit card ;

If she has Uk , Us & Canada visa , she qualifies for it

Arbitrix:
Silent reader here.

So I'm a first time traveller to the Schengen area but a frequent traveller to other places eg UK, US, etc.

Timeline: Went for biometrics on 17 May
Visa Issued 20 May
Picked up today 24 May

Submitted:
Bank Statements
Letter from employer
Personal letter of introduction
Pension statement
Share statement
Employment and confirmation letters
Office Id
Insurance
Accommodation and flight bookings
Travel itinerary

With a single entry visa I can still visit multiple Schengen countries but can't leave and re-enter with the same visa abi?

Congrats
