Has anyone paid for courier delivery of passport at TLS Contact recently? My aged mother just got charge 80k (Naira) for courier delivery from Lagos to Enugu. I was wondering if that is normal. Their website says 12k and I understand if that price is outdated seeing the economy, but 80k is insane IMO. Anyone done this recently? |

Nielda234: Yeah the response time has changed slightly, probably because we’re in peak periods already. TAT is 5-8 days now depending on whether you opted for pickup or courier (takes 1 day longer) 1 Like |

Please I want to renew just my son France visa, he will be traveling with me , what I need to submit is Cover letter Sponsorship letter Birth certificate My France visa page His school documents and his visas My bank statements Flight reservations plus my own , is it better if I buy my ticket now and show proof that I have paid already if I should show flight reservations for both of us ? I don’t need to show house documents rights ? Please the hotel reservations , should it be in my name or his name ? |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Africankel(m): 9:04pm On Feb 29 |
1. Do not pay for tickets until a visa is approved. Reservation for him alone will suffice. 2. How old is he? If he's 18 and above, the hotel booking should be done in his name. 3. No need for the property documents. Your cover letter should however be detailed. And properly outlining your sponsorship of the trip. meljoe: |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by hunee: 2:41am On Mar 01 |
I have read many stories here of people buying tickets when visas are yet to be approved. Who do you blame? The ticketing sales person or the customer? It is very unprofessional for a ticket to be sold to a customer without a visa. Africankel:But everything is upside down in Nigeria and everyone wants to make money. Please await visa response until then, book on Travelbeta and get a dummy. You jst need a reservation kel, how far? |

odogwudozilla: Prices has increased in all visa applications even in VFS I book and paid for appointments at VFS portal but when I get there i was charge extra to reflect the change in price after I paid for appointments. Visa fee increased as well as courier service See the fee analysis given to me at VFS This is for Schengen visa ooo. Last time I got visa at VFS I paid less than 65k visa fee last year The courier service you pay is for both sending your application and receiving from embassy by TLS and sending your passport to you from TLS

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by odogwudozilla: 9:21am On Mar 01 |
HRprof: Thanks for the breakdown. I totally understand that prices change. I guess they should be a bit more transparent about it and not suddenly ask for 80k for courier on the interview day. I was not expecting courier cost to be more than 40k (which I think is still reasonable). When I get the receipt they gave I'll also analyse it and post here (assuming nothing fishy), at least just so others can be aware of surprise additional costs. |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by meljoe: 1:33pm On Mar 01 |
Thank you , I have my visa already , that’s why I was asking if I should buy my own ticket and do a reservation for him ? Then show the both of them ? Africankel: |

Is it okay if we both travel directly from Lagos to Spain instead of France ? |

Spain visa fees remain same. You all should also consider these other places, everytime france france. Spain visa process is also very seamless and straightforward. You just need use their website to gather info needed nigeria.blsspainvisa.com |

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by HRprof: 8:17pm On Mar 03 |
okomoney:I explained it there One is for VFS to courier your application documents to embassy and return your passport back to VFS after embassy must have done processing your visa and the second fee is for VFS to courier your passport back to you after receiving from embassy 1 Like |

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by thelma76(f): 11:30am On Mar 05 |
Milito: Very good question because I don’t think there are direct flights to Spain from Lagos. Also if you got your visa through France, I’d advise you get a flight to Spain that connects through CDG Paris just so you’re stamped in at the French borders. Air France connects through Amsterdam and Paris to get to Spain, best to book a connecting flight through France so there’s a record of getting stamped by the issuing country at least. |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by spiceeamiee(f): 6:32pm On Mar 05 |
Hello everyone, please for those that travelled to Paris for holidays, how did you get internet (not hotel WiFi) that you used for google maps and to get directions to where you were going?.. I’m going to Paris in May and from there to London. I have a UK sim but I don’t think it would work in Paris so I need something to communicate as I can’t always rely on public WiFi to use whatsapp and other social media while out of the hotel |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by WantsandMore: 6:37pm On Mar 05 |
spiceeamiee:if you use an esim enabled device simply load an esim & buy a little data until you leave Paris, or better still buy a universal WiFi with sim on a prepaid data bundle enough for your stay meanwhile lock one padlock for eiffel tower for me biko |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Milito: 7:00pm On Mar 05 |
spiceeamiee: You can buy Euro sim at the airport. Or download this app, AIRALO, and use it with the esim feature of your phone, if your phone has such. All you need to do is recharge and you are good to go afterwards. Before recharging in dollars, ensure you phone has the esim feature, otherwise money otilo be that. Lol 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Vivianchi98: 6:13pm On Mar 06 |
Good evening gurus. I applied for a France Shengen visa online and currently getting my documents ready for submission, I have a few questions: 1) I have a previous Irish visit visa rejection, do I declare it on my cover letter and submit the rejection letter. I am asking because it wasn’t asked on the online form and I don’t want to do anything that will lead to a ban. 2) I recently got a UK visit visa, yet to use it though. Do I add it in my application? 3) how much should I budget as I go with to TLS VI including the current visa fee in Naira. 4) on an average, how long does it take to get a visa decision 5) any special advice to note. Yes I have read through a major part of this page for information. I just need further clarity |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Milito: 6:39pm On Mar 06 |
sanyaolurilwan: The experience is usually different. Depends on the official, their mood, the arrival time, how they profile the visitor at first glance, etc. Both times I've entered the schengen area territory from Naija direct, I was not asked anything. Save when one guy opened to an expired visa and was looking and looking and I had to refer him to the area of the passport where the new visa is stamped. |
