Where can I locate the biometric visa number on previous France visa. I used the 9 digits number on top of the visa page but the system said that was wrong

Did you add FRA i.e if it's France that issued the previous visa?

Hello, please I need a candid opinion, I have my appointment next week and in my mind I feel I have the documents required, I'm married but I'm sponsoring myself and I'm travelling with 2 of my kids. I have a good job. My husband is currently on domestic travel for work purposes so he won't be available for d trip. The documents I plan to submit
- filled forms
-id card
- travel insurance from axa
- flight reservations and hotel reservations from booking. Com, they didn't charge me any deposit just my debit card info.
- 3 months bank statement of 4m closing statement and payslips
- cover letter, itinerary n 3 booked tour packages
-Employment details
-birth certificates, marriage certificate, consent letter from hubby ,family pictures, introduction letter from my kids school.
-copy of previous visas- UK, Spain, India, uae
-vaccination card (don't know if it's necessary but I included it)
It's for a short stay tourist visa

Please and please, what are my chances, any missing documents? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance �


Alexie89:
On this same question, the forms for the kids, who signs them? Kids below 18. Is it signed by one parent or both parents?
And if they are travelling with only one parent, what are the requirements, please and thank you.

You are good to go. Although the vaccine certificate is not necessary, but if your think it will help your application, then you can go ahead and use it.

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by josephb(m): 8:08am On Sep 06, 2021
South African Visa Stamp won't give you the status of a frequent traveller.

You must have had US, UK, Canada or Schengen Visa previously.

You can apply first in the France visa site then book appointment later in the vfs site before submitting. Then call them or send a mail for a re-appointment if the appointment date is not favorable to you.
If you need further clarification I'm always available

Visa, flight tickets, passports, and the application form. You may also need passport photograph of required dimensions and quality, if you haven't paid for it already and your naira debit card to pay for the visa fees. Make 2 colour photocopies of ur passport.

Please pufframmy do you apply as a self employed? Because you mention you submitted CAC certificate? Do you submitted your company bank statement or only your personal account that shows your monthly income?

Please advise ? Are you first timer or you have travel to Schengen zone or UK or USA ?

Because I was told that they don't accept first timer application? Please kindly advise your brother I only visited south Africa
