honestly, I dont understand these guys. I submitted the following for 11 days vacation this easter
1. Fully completed and duly signed application form
2. passport photographs as per visa specifications
3. Original and copy of our international passports
4. Copy of our church marriage certificate
5. Marriage Affidavits of facts
6. Copy of our Children's birth certificates
7. Copy of itinerary for our flight reservation with return from Lagos to Paris (air france)
8. Copy of our hotel reservation in Paris covering the period of stay. (from bookings.com)
9. Copy of our travel medical insurance
10. Copy of our reservation for tours and dinner
11. Copy of PAID ticket(s) for museum and tours (over $250)
12. Copy of my personal day to day 3 months bank account statement GTB - 3million plus
13. Copy of my personal saved up 3 months bank account statement GTB - 7million plus
14. Copy of my wife's 3 months bank account statement ACCESS - 2 million plus
15. Copy of my company registration documents - limited liability
16. Copy of my wife's company registration documents business registration
17. Copy of our three years e-tax clearance certificates
18. Copy of our rent receipts of our business premises (4 different business premises)
19. Pictures of our wedding, family, Last UAE vacation and our business premises
20. Cover letter

I had to pay for these tickets beacuse they are being sold out during the Easter season.

I have landed properties and a house but their titles are power of attorney...none has a C of O....so I did not bother to attach them.
I also did not attach my company bank account.

On my own refusal paper... they wrote that the reason I gave was unreliable and that they are not sure if i will leave the schengen area after the duration (i laughed...)

On my wife's own they wrote that they could not verify the authencity of her supporting documents ( I did not get this at all beacuse all documents submitted are legit and authentic including her well run bank statements...no agents involved) She told them that I will be sponsoring her trip in the cover letter.

I strongly believe that these people have a sterotyped way of making these evaluations that make it difficult for self employed people to get tourist visas.

We are hoping to appeal for the sake of doing it but we are looking to travel to another (yet to be decided) location for the anniversary!
I will need suggestions on where we can go for this holidays... my wife does not want africa. I dont know how easy to get tousrist visa to turkey or thailand.

1. Did they stamp your passports for this recent refusal?

How can a refused visa be stamped? definitely not.

Restricted:

I wasnt referring to the Visa sticker stamp itself. There was this small stamp they usually put on the passport page when they refuse a visa. They were doing it years back. I dont know if they still do it or they have stopped.

Dear sir.

In my own experience I think your account must have demonstrated so many irregularities. Those large figures of money don’t mean you will get it. If it’s not properly lodged in to the account. I think you need to at least pay yourself salary or something monthly. Contact me on WhatsApp let me share a few of my idea with you for free! if you don’t mind I got Mine recently.and I didn’t put up to what you have listed. 0810 073 5849

hunee:

Hello all, does anyone know where to apply for Maltese Visa? Can’t seem to find any consulate in Nigeria. We have a company sponsored retreat in Greece but Malta is the meeting point since the company is based there. I’ve been going through the thread but can’t seem to find solid information.

An agent said I should use France and head to Malta since it’s the same visa. But don’t know if that would work.


Contact TLS, that represent for Italy

Any help will be appreciated.

General Question Please, if you are embarking on a short trip let's say 7 days, is it best to do a travel insurance that covers 7days or one month?

Someone asked this question some days ago
