Good morning guys, just got a refusal note for my Visa application this morning and the actual reason says: "Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided". Whereas I provided everything. My purpose is to attend a seminar. Kindly enlighten me if I should appeal this decision.

How many days did you indicate that you will be spending in France?

A large percentage of people travelling now (especially those going for studies); that is what they do and it's so alarming and perturbing.

Imagine an applicant who only has money for visa fee and wanting to travel to Canada/UK to study for a course which cost $19,000 CAD per year, after getting this proof of fund for 3-4 months, (Some pay heavily per month) luckily gets the visa, wont this person get stranded at a point when he finally gets to Canada/UK?

It's just so funny how this is legalized in Nigeria today, a lot is currently happening in Nigeria today whereby everyone wants to leave the country by giving all it takes to JAPA.

This is Sardonic!

davodyguy:
I e been seeing lots of adverts online recent from people saying they can provide proof of funds to visa applicants.

Please what magic are they trying to sell?

Is it not that the ECO would review inflows and outflows into your account in the last 6 months?

What magic will these advertisers perform few days to your visa application submission?

Your boss sponsoring you for tourist not for business or event ! Well ask him to provide you the following documents as addition to what you have to provide
1. CAC
2. Letter addressed to embassy for sponsorship of your trip
3 . Company Statement of account
Then You will make provision of all other necessary supporting documents for your visa.
Note: Nothing wrong for your company sponsoring you on tourist trip But is not advisable to apply for visa on that grand because you might get denied I advise you look for conference event and apply, then your company can sponsor your trip while you still enjoy your tourism there .

10 days.

Hi,

To add to what you said I believe for a Limited Liabilities Company, it can’t be owned by one person, further claims should be in form of a Board Resolution Letter if he finally yields to going on the grounds of a conference, because those who even had their personal money couldn’t even secure a tourist visa.

Hi all,

I’m very worried about something, don’t know if anyone has been in such fix before.

So I applied for Uk visa on 12th and applied for Italy visa on 14th. I paid for keep my passport with UK in order to be able to submit for Italy visa processing.

1. I didn’t know that I will have to resubmit my passport when Uk wants ti make a decision, I thought they’ll just courier the vignette to me to stick on by myself.

Fine, I found that out on processing day and thought okay I’ll just resubmit when Italy own comes back.

But now I have found out that Italy processing particularly takes forever and apparently if you don’t resubmit your passport within a specific time frame for UK decision making, they will deny you. 😭

We have now been asked to resubmit passport for UK decision making (in just one week) meanwhile Italy just received our application not too long ago.

What can I do? Anyone with suggestions or similar experience please will be appreciated.

Hello House ,
Visa alert!!!
I got UK visa in February and went to UK March 25-April 8.
Applied for France Schengen and did biometric on April 13.
Passport return Notification April 19
UPS delivery of passport April 20.
First time UK and Schengen applicant. Got 90days multiple entry France Schengen.

Must I arrive France first if I decide to visit the Schengen area or can I visit any country of my choice in the area since I have the Schengen visa?

Thanks for the info

wow congratulation

I don't think there's anything to be worried about. You have 28 days to submit your passport to UKVI. And the standard processing time for Italy is 15 working days. (Suppose to be 15 Calendar days though).

If this is your first visit to the Schengen area, it is important to first land according to your visa application itinerary. You can immediately afterwards, fly or take a train to your desired destination.

maybe they are investigate some documents, I submitted too and i was issued after 20 days, some people 15 days some 7 days, so depend on your document

Newbiein2016:
Italy in particular seems notorious for long processing times and/or holding on to passports for longer periods than other Schengen countries.

If you read a couple of pages back for testimonials from successful applicants and/or visit the Italy visa thread, you'll notice a pattern with very few comments about them processing within the stated timelines.

Hi,

You mean; one person can (own) a Limited Liability Company!!!

How is it outdated?

Was the company registration done Yesterday, Today or it will be done Tomorrow?

In a standard company there should be a board resolution, let not always thwart people's opinion.

Mr Joseph.

I did my first cac registration in 2014. [ent]

I did the recent one which is a ltd company in 2021.

Since CAMA 2020. ONE PERSON CAN OWN A COMPANY.

That is the way it is now. (ng)

True.

It's okay things have changed then.

But do you know board of trustees are different from shareholders?

Well. I like the question you asked, and i am always willing to create channels for learning.

Trustees, shareholders. According to the corporate and allied matters act ,with regards to company registrations in Nigeria; every business entity has classifications.
Now i spoke about classifications i.e category.
Majorly, we have i. business name (code name, b/n), ii. Limited company (ltd,plc) iii. Incorporated trustees ( code name , i.t under which we have clubs, ngo, associations e.t.c) and the rest of them.

Now for the benefit of this discourse, the three major ones in Nigeria are listed above.

The business names are majorly enterprises, sole proprietorship, ventures, owned and operated by one man) commonly referred to as a one man business. You refer to the participants in this category as directors, because of limitations to shares

For limited liability company, you refer to them as shareholders because it is a more broad company and may likely involve 2- 7 partners(before 2020 cama) as of today, single owners of enterprises can upgrade to limited as ammended.


For incorporated trustees, you use or refer to them as trustees. I already highlighted the participants in this category.

I think it is better when we have these informations, then we can be properly guided.

Thank you.

Hi,

Maybe my use of Board of Trustee seems confusing, maybe i should have use Board of Directors.

If you are not currently working or do any business, what will you fill in the application form as what you do for a living ! Unemployed ? That’s a red flag don’t waste your visa fee
