Hello Gurus,

I need help in my application. I have had three scheghen visa rejection (let me start with the bad part) and I applied for buisness visas cause I was going got conferences and off site meetings


Now, there is another off site meeting I am to attend for first week of October.
I was asked by my company to look for an agent and start the process early. The first agent I contacted balled on me

I don't know what to do and I am soliciting for help here.

It's really going to be sad that I can't travel to see my work mates for once

I am trying to gather my documents so I can submit an application by July

So far I need a list of ideas of possible documents I need to submit to add to these I have already
My Bank statement
My Payslips
Pension
Invitation letter from my company
Confirmation letter/ Employee agreement
Appointment letter
Employees Directory
Certificates relating to my occupation
Cover letter with travel itinerary explaining purpose of my trip
Letter explaining the previous rejection
Travel Medical Insurance policy
Proof of Hotel reservation
My Flight Reservation


Also something to note my company makes use of Deel Nigeria to hire me. So Deel is like a third party that handles my salary payment, contract etc. So my contract, pay slips, confirmation letter has Deel in it

A quick question regarding to this: Do I have to bring a letter that explains my company relationship with Deel.

Good day all gurus, I've been trying to book France Appointment but no date available in Lagos. I already filled the France Visa application form and I chose Lagos. Is it possible to choose Abuja for Biometrics and how to go about that? Thanks to everyone.[b][/b]

pufframmy:
there should be appointment for frequent traveller recheck

Candybright:

I think Abuj doesn't have this frequent traveller option while booking appointment.
Please someone should correct me if I'm wrong

musiklibrary:



Great list so far.
You could add your Covid vaccination certificate(IF YOU HAVE)

Yes, I think you should explain your company relationship with Deel as well.

Marybeth262728:

Hello Gurus In the house,

I applied for France visa in January this year to attend a conference that was scheduled for March but I my visa was rejected . The reason for rejection was “ The information submitted regarding the justification for the propose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable “

I appeal the rejection and the appeal later was delivered to cedex in france but I later discovered that the program as been shifted to June.

I re apply this month and I just received my passport back today , surprisingly , my visa was rejected again.

The reason for rejection was “ Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided “

Please house I need your advice on the way forward .

You need to package your application well
Are you employed or self employed ?
Are you sponsoring yourself or someone else ?
Dis you add hotel reservations and flight ?
France visa is the easiest visa to get specially if you are not first time traveller.
Check what you are not doing well and repackage your application

Jyde1234:


Thanks for your response @sihamey .

Yes , I am self employed
Yes , I’m sponsoring Myself.
Yes . I added hotel reservations and flight. I don’t know maybe the hotel reservations was canceled.

Should I find another conference and re apply immediately?

sihamey:


As self employed Hope you added your business documents like CAC ?
Give it a little time before you reapply so you won’t look desperate.
Make sure you added all relevant documents and write very detailed SOP .
Tip: if your business is limited let someone write an introductory letter on behalf of your company introducing you as the MD and you are expected to resume work on your return so so so date etc ensure the conference is relevant to your business.
My 2 cents

Soraco57:


what if the business is enterprise, who should write the letter, thanks

sihamey:

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

Jyde1234:
@Ashirioluwa . Do you suggest i apply as a tourist ?

My concern is my previous refusals since I applied to attend a conference , I don’t know maybe that would rase a red flag, although my previous applications was to attended a 3 days conference and 2 days for recreation .

Soraco57:
This is enterprise not limited liability o, does enterprise have secretary,

sihamey:

Yes you are running enterprise does not mean you will not have staff even is is not secretary, accountant can write or any staff

Soraco57:
Thanks bro, the tin is that I do not have a corporate account, na my savings account I they use, hope is not a red flag.

Jyde1234:
Yes , I wrote a letter both in English and French .

I use fedex
Cost of sending was around 25k .
