I tried calling but I was unable to reach them. I logged on to the Tlscontact account yesterday, and I was able to delete my account details. I logged in again and entered my details on the Tlscontact form and it works for me. But I used a different phone number.

As of yesterday January 2nd, the available dates start from January 2nd.

How is the French visa application process? Is the processing time still faster? Because I remember that my last application in 2022 was processed within 4 days.

I strongly recommend that instead of appealing the decision, you should consider re-applying. However, before you do, it's crucial to meticulously address all the concerns that led to your initial rejection.

Along with your application, make sure to include a detailed letter of explanation. This letter should clearly articulate your reasons for applying, demonstrate how you've effectively resolved the issues that resulted in your previous rejection, and outline the comprehensive list of important documents you're submitting with your application.

This approach will enhance the clarity and strength of your re-application.

Best of luck

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!

I am in the process of applying for a French tourist visa for myself, my fiancée, and her mother. I'm uncertain about whether we can submit our applications together, though I'm hopeful. The reason for my uncertainty is that I have previously obtained a French Tourist visa and travelled to Paris for a week. I currently hold a valid US visa, and so does her mother. Unfortunately, my fiancée has faced an earlier visa denial and a missed appointment. I have a travel history that includes visits to various countries in North America, the Middle East, and Africa.

Given our plan to apply as a family, I'm wondering if we can be considered "frequently travelled" Additionally, I'm seeking advice on whether Abuja or Lagos is a better option for the visa application. Our purpose for visiting France is to celebrate her mother's birthday and conduct a pre-wedding photo shoot.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations on what location is best, what should be included in the application and if it is possible for us to apply as frequent traveller.

Once each French visa application has been completed for the 3 applicants, go to the TLScontact website to schedule a group appointment. Because of your travel history, you, your fiancee, and your fiancee's mom all qualify as frequent travelers by making one group appointment together.

Also, it will be nice to take one of your family members (especially your mom) along with you and don't be like my older brother, who doesn't think anything in life is important other than his wife, and his wife's parents.

His mother-in-law has visited Canada more than five times since he married his wife six years ago. He brought his wife to Canada through the student route and helped his wife's parents get a visa to attend his wedding in Canada, but he abandoned his own parents.

Now my mom is in the US for the past 2 months to visit my sister, but my brother has been crying like a little bitch because he asked my mom a question ''do you want to visit me in Canada'', my mom said no and told him to call his wife's parent to visit him.

Seems like you’re projecting Egbon. You don’t know the circumstances surrounding the poster’s family. Your group appointment advise is spot on tho.

Hello @ibnquasale, can you assist?

I must admit that I'm not entirely familiar with the group application process. However, based on my understanding, I believe that individuals holding visas from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand should not face significant challenges when applying for entry into France.

From my observations, the key to a successful application for France seems to hinge on a few critical factors. Firstly, having sufficient financial resources is essential. Secondly, it's important to demonstrate strong ties to your home country, which helps in assuring the authorities of your intent to return. Lastly, a well-crafted itinerary and a detailed letter of explanation can significantly strengthen your application. If these elements are in place, the likelihood of encountering any issues is greatly reduced.
