pufframmy:
AND YOU think he/she can change status within schengen state ??
or he will need to go back to home country to apply for type D visa

davodyguy:
Na wa

Been combing Nigeria and TLS contact, still can't find any useful information about Malta Visa.

Italian Embassy at Walter Carrington says, they don't handle.

TLS contact yet to respond to enquiry.

I don't want to use French Visa, as I prefer flying directly to Malta, not through Paris.

Ashirioluwa:

You can contact them through this information. I saw this online.

HRprof:


Is possible but difficult. Last time I travelled I met a guy in Paris who immigrated from abdijan and he narrated his immigration story on how he was able to change status. He came in with visit visa and got work permit after some months but then he was staying outskirts of France close to Spain board, according to him he had advantage because he speaks French, when he got his papers he moved to Paris for work.

pufframmy:
OOh that means he Got the status changed in Spain

meljoe:
Please going to the Uk by December, can I use tourist visa as a transit visa using klm or another airline ? And also if the visa is valid from December 20th , can someone still use it as transit visa before December 20th ?

davodyguy:
Just contacted TLS and they said only those that have been to US/UK in the last four years are considered frequent travelers

Oga oo

HRprof:


No, he stayed in France but a village in france close to spain boarder. he did not cross to spain

pufframmy:
U mean TLS Italy?? they accept people who have been to Schengen twice x2 too as frequent traveler

cucumbar:
was it stated anywhere on their site?

davodyguy:

On TLS, they implied it.

Speaking to them on phone, a lady said you must have been to one of USA and UK in the last 4 years to be considered frequent traveler.

In the last 5 years, been to almost 10 countries, including France. The lady still said I should pick first time since I only traveled to France once and all other countries once as well, without UK and USA.

A lot of confusing policies.

Just cos of Malta, Italy didn't allow me pick date.

Just annoying

cucumbar:
na wa o. no be to enter France travel to any other country from there?
Flights within Europe are cheap.

davodyguy:

I may have to settle for France and then cross to Malta.

But I just want the Malta Stamp on my passport, which would most likely be impossible since France is the point of entry into Schengen area. Or what do you think?

cucumbar:
from one of your posts above, it seemed like you want to apply for Italian visa but don’t want to apply as a first timer? Or do they process Malta visa?

I think if you apply as a first timer, you will get the visa since it seems you have a good travel history.
Italy is closer to Malta than France.

If you can’t get a way to process malta visa and really want to visit, apply for the Italian visa and enter malta from there.

davodyguy:


You don't really get it.

Malta is where I want.
But Malta has no embassy in Nigeria. Hence, you have to first apply through the Italian Embassy. You'll fill form as if you're going to Italy, only your itinerary will show Malta.

I have no business in Italy.

Now, Italy or Malta has no date available.

I may have to apply for France then, cos it's Christmas holiday and it's near

HRprof:


That customer service that received your call did not give you right information. I got my 2nd French visa using frequent travel option and I haven’t visited US or UK.
Since you have been to 10 countries including France you are considered frequent traveler make copies of your expired visas and head to VFS they will receive it as frequent travel history.
