Juraj: Simply provide a letter of introduction from your company. It will include the confirmation of the fact that you're an employee. That should solve it. Include the signed offer letter as well. Or the offer letter of you don't have a signed copy |

stevolinkon40: I should add that an offer letter can also double as the contract of employment. It can be a two-in-one document offering you the job, whilst stating the terms. Once you sign (ensure to retain a copy), it constitutes a valid contract as it satisfies the elements of a contract: offer, acceptance, consideration, etc. Where this is the case, such an offer letter has a provision that allows you to sign, accepting the terms (not just merely to acknowledge receipt of such document). |

Well you have failed to state which of the Schengen countries he his applying to. First of all you said his offer letter duely states everything concerning his work hours, pay benefits etc. However, offer letters alone are not always conclusive for the embassy to approve your visa application. Regardless he's been working there for 2years like you said, he still needs to attach a Letter of Introduction from his company. This letter will affirm that he is an employee of the said company, will also validate that the company is aware that he's going for a Tour in the said Schengen state. For short stay visa, his company may have to give him copies of their Tax Payment, CAC registration document, and memorandum. This will help validate that His company is fully registered in Nigeria and he's not just making up the company. The bank statement salary entries will also help validate his claims. Regardless, he should focus on providing strong evidence that he will return. The embassy may find inconsistencies in his said "current job" and feel if the visa his granted to him, he will not return when due |

SmartyPants: Your submission is impressed. I've learnt from it. I'm pleased the Nairaland of old with intelligent contributions here and there seems to be coming back. |

casualobserver: It seems it is you who hasn't understood what I wrote - my submissions have been on offer letters and employment contracts, whereas you've been going on about acceptance letters which is not germane to the current topic. The question is what qualifies as proof of employment and the point is that an offer letter may not qualify, hence the difficulties described in the OP. |

athaboi:my thoughts exactly. It's not a big deal, if it were a well structured organisation, that is the job of the HR manager. But you see this so called one man business owners in this country ehn. I don't just understand them. |
