Thank you Sir/ Ma.

Before sending to cedex, did you try appealing directly to the embassy here in Nigeria first ?


NO

Hello everyone. My mum wants to travel to France, with some time to spend in Germany, although France is her main destination. If she applies for a Schengen visa through France would they structure it according to the time she’s spending or they would issue the visa normally and then she can move freely within the Schengen region? Thanks in advance.
She’s also a frequent traveler to the UK, would that help?

If she shares her itinerary across France and Germany they will issue the visa according to her plans. Sometimes they are nice and can issue you more than you asked for. Yes, being a frequent visitor to the UK is helpful.

Hello House,

Please how do I track the status of my France visa application? It’s been 5 days and no word from them unlike what I read here that some get responses in 3 days.

Is there a link to track?

Change your travel date. If you have already submitted, then fill out a new form. If you really don't want to shift your trip then use an embassy approved agent; they can get an earlier date for you.

Yes, there are embassy-approved agents or should I say visa application, centre-approved agents, and they can get earlier dates for appointments. For example, my first ever Schengen visa was for a class trip to France; I could not get an appointment date; I reached out to the embassy, and they shared a list of travel agents through which I could apply.

I have at least witnessed this in London and Ankara. They are agents that the VAC at least recognises, and they can get earlier dates and submit applications on behalf of applicants.

P.S So I just checked my email and found the initial email I got. It's actually from the VAC, and it clearly states that the embassy accredits the agents.

TLs is different from VFS
The list you got is for visa application outside Nigeria and is for premium appointment even here in Nigeria you can get an early visa appointment for UK visa by yourself on Premium without agent because you have to pay for it. I do not think France have a premium visa appointment for early date so no agent here is accredited for it.
