Got my visa. Biometrics Nov 6, received passport Nov 10. Although there were some errors in my cover letter and itinerary but I was still granted the visa. Also, I’m a frequent traveler with a valid 2yrs Uk visa and I’ve gotten scheghen 2ce before this so I think that helped.

No There is no walk in you have to make booking. The last booking i made in October was for 17th November. That says a lot of people are making similar booking.

Hello house, I applied for Portugal Schengen visa and I submitted my document with capturing on 19th of September abuja. I suppose to travel on October 1st based on my application but I haven’t hear anything from them. At a point when I track my application it was saying processing but now it’s saying no records found. Pls what can be going on
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Africankel(m): 9:48am On Nov 14, 2023
After taking your biometrics, there's usually a printout of the biometric details given to you. It contains your name, photo and biometric number.

This use to be done by VFS, not sure what's obtainable nowadays.

No leave it.. it is for those that got the visa. I asked one of the TLS guys and was told to leave it and say No instead. But explain to them at the center on the day of submission just so they are aware. But you’ll still do another biometrics

Sure of this? Not doubting but you know our people would say leave it, and if anything comes up you on your own. Can someone put a call through to tls contact center to confirm. Kindly.

I'm unsure what is required of him. There are certain embassies (not France), that asks for the biometric date and number. Some (including France), ask for biometric date and visa number. In a case where the previous visa was denied, that column is left blank.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by hunee: 1:25pm On Nov 14, 2023
He can not move to next page even leaving it blank. That is what he is facing and reason he came here for answers

The only way to move past is to answer "No". It'll have no effect on his application. I know this because I've seen a gentleman do it with Spain and still got approved.

Please is this TLS contact address for France visa biometric. 39 Adeola Odeku Street, Victoria Island, Lagos?

damkanlinsin:


Yes that is the building the tall glass building beside zenith bank

No oh. To the best of my knowledge TLS is on Ajose Adeogun, VI some 30 metres away from Eko Hotel roundabout.

It is very close to Zenith Bank Head office, so you can use Zenith Bank Head office on Ajose Adeogun as landmark.


damkanlinsin:
Please is there parking space at tls lagos

No parking space, but you can settle the security of nearby offices and then park your vehicle there.

Make sure your luggage’s and everything is clearly genuine and you have a genuine reason for traveling. I’ve used that place to travel to turkey and I know what they did to me. And God shake them because my hands are clean. This people called Turkish police to detain me when I land and check me very well. It was the Turkish police at the Turkish airport that told me they received a signal of a Nigerian using Cotonou route. Please make sure you are traveling on a genuine root. Nigeria Lagos and Abuja is always the best to travel from. Be careful out there. Nigerians are hated by all this afric nationals. You might even miss ur flight during interrogation

If you are ready with ur documents and you are close to Lagos. Why not go to Adeola Odeku. Talk with the security that you need a VIP appointment. It won’t be more than 20k everything including the VIP. I’ve done that before. But if you want to wait for date. Then keep waiting. But while waiting and booking. Still try to go there with your documents. I swear you go do VIP and summit without appointment

TLS is at No 39 Adeola Odeku VI. Meanwhile while I was driving I saw another TLS at Ajose Adeogun area when you turn the EKO hotel roundabout. I heard it’s still at IKOYI. But they only have 2 French collection center. Other TLS is For UK. French is separately
