Beverlyhills:

Renew your Passport first and apply directly if you have the means.

I dud not pay attention to the paper attached to my visa when it was approved, i read about it 7 months later about going bck to vfs when return. I then proceed and submit it. Since then i have been refused 2 times. Though i have gotten other schengen visas after the refusal. Please anyone with idea on what to do to get france visa again?

If you have gotten other Schengen visas, then I don’t see why you want to get France specifically. You can still and always travel with others. Lol.

Thanks i appreciate
Beverlyhills:
@umeme for the france visa, you can write a detailed letter explaining the over sight with regards to the letter attached to the visa. Give references to your Exit stamps to the first france Visa issued. In the end, tender an apology for this oversight.

Include the new Schengen visas you received after France and indicate you came back as well in a timely manner also your Passport Data Page.

Do this before you apply again.

Email: consulfrance.lagos-fslt@diplomatie.gouv.fr and adfr.lagos-cslt@diplomatie.gouv.fr.

Good luck.

Please, can I book a date as a first time visitor now? I understand from this thread that it wasn’t open for first time applicants some months ago.
I have my company that I registered 2 years but I haven’t travelled out of Nigeria before. I followed this thread and the documents needed are almost complete now. I’m married with 3 kids. Please, I want to register on visa.vfsglobal.com now but I’m being prompted to make payment for France-visa assistance service and I am asking here if I’m in the right website? Pls, help a brother to register rightly and hopefully get 10 days tourist visa from France embassy.

Yes both are main but some people don’t have dollar card to withdraw abroad for that they go with cash , Flight booking is your prepaid transport and your hotel accommodation is paid before your arrival.

Hope not selecting credit card wont affect the application, as i only chose cash, transport and accommodation.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Gentlesoul3268: 3:13am On Feb 05, 2022
I don't think so but they knew we Africa usually used credit card , you can fill another application form if you are not ok with the one you already filled.

April 10th is the intended date.
You can start with vfs application, by the time you get an appointment, the time will be counting down already. So, just start anyway.

There's nothing more to explain oga Ade, if you are not ok with it maybe you should go with your initial plan.

Don't you think otherwise the embassy might think you want to japa? Just make your application simple without attach anyone book hotel and use the hotel address simple.

When you get to France then you meet your friend or girlfriend

Let me explain based on my experience and we are here to learn . Personal IV alone is not accepted by French embassy the lady need to add what is called ‘’ attestation’’ in French which she will get from local government area where she reside and French embassy will never disclose that to the applicant on refusal letter. You will keep applying with IV alone and keep getting denied.

The only IV acceptable without any other form of additional request is conference IV etc

They didn't issue credit card here in Nigeria except Debit card/dollar card, even most of Nigeria debit card doesn't work outside the country while some are limited to $100 in a month.

Banks in Nigeria issue credit cards well well but issue to qualified customers.

Someone close to me has one and I used it to pay for admission application fee in year 2016.

Credit card holders could be seen amongst reputable business persons as well as high paid salary earner.

In other words, anyone with high stable income/salary qualifies for it. But qualification to get credit card is determine by bank not by individual customer.

Yes you can. You do not require visa if you have

Schengen visa

Canada visa
Japan visa

Or if you are a citizen or resident of any of the above

Schengen visa is the same either you get it through France or any of the Schengen area countries. You claimed France denied you but you were able to get it through another country. Why are you still bothering yourself to obtain another visa through France? Your chance of getting it through the country that approved your last visa is very high

They issued credit cards in Nigeria only to credit worthy customers. I believe you can only do it at the head office.

First bank - First bank visa infinite ($) and First bank naira credit card

GTBank - Visa Classic Credit Card

FCMB - Visa Credit Card “CLASSIC”

To get it through any of these banks is not easy because the customer must meet certain conditions.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Gentlesoul3268: 1:14pm On Feb 06, 2022
You are right kajola, my dollar card limit per day I think is like 2,000 dollar, and you can use your dollar card any where in the world.

You can tick credit card and cash or what ever since then won't ask for prove. Get you visa and go with PTA

Simple

To those who traveled recently. Do vaccinated traveler from Nigeria needs a PCR test to travel to France?
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by AmeliaT: 1:00am On Feb 07, 2022
Nigerian banks issue credit cards. I have one @gentlesoul, I have a standard Chartered credit card.

You only need to be earn in excess of N15m salary annually or have a business with revenue of a certain threshold (not sure) as I’m a salary earner and then you open a fixed deposit account and lock the equivalent credit limit with them. Easy peasy!!
