Hello guys.
I got my passport this morning and my Visa was Approved for job seeker visa.

Submitted my application through VFS Lagos on January 29th this year less than 2 weeks later my visa was approved.

Bostin:
I should cast you ?

qtguru:
So a friend shared something with me, but this mostly applies to people already outside or in the EU, you can actually pay a lawyer to get something called a Portugal activity for freelancers, this can help with getting a Tax number and with that one can apply for a job, currently looking at that, and if you already have an EU visa, you can easily go to portugal and while for the application.

Hoping to have more research on this. It's for freelancers

lady25:
No cast me yet o. I dey beg

freedomtours:


Yes it will be authenticated MOFA,
I said I can assist you in the area of submitting or better still you can also come 2 days before your appointment so that u can handle that

Bokeeto:


That's true, I know some people that booked appointment slots, before I could go online, everything was gone. The whole thing is tiring, checking everyday, yet nothing....

But is there a way people know there's going to be appointments or something?

I was in vfs Abuja today and made enquiry, the middle aged man at number 6 roll said so...

Most of you guys here believe solely on what agents tell you instead of going out of your way to find information....

You come online here to panic

Any update?

Please can someone go with a child as a dependant on job seeker visa

Hello bro,
Sorry for the refusal. Do t give up. Re-apply.

In my case I tried to appeal but VFS told me I would pay appeal fees which was almost equal to new application, so I did not appeal again. Luckily for me the day February 6 2024, I got my refusal, VFS Abuja portal was open, I was able to book again against March 21 ,2024 so I have enough time to gather extra support documents and also, i wanted to reapply in Lagos to avoid spending air fare and hotel Costa to Abuja. However from that Feb 6 till date , I have not heard of VFS open for appointment in Lagos or Abuja. So I ended up travelling again to Abuja on March 20, did VFS application on March 21 and returned to Lagos on March 21. This week is the third week since I applied, so I am optimistic. My first refusal came in 6 days from application, today is 18 days from my second application.

I noticed when I first applied,most of the people attending to clients were new trainees. I knew because they kept moving them from desk to desk and I over heard a supervisor telling them that one someone will come and train them in another room and some of the girls at the desk said, " Thank God" , meaning they were not ready in confidence on what they were expected to do. What annoyed was that the experienced lady who attended to me first time removed some of my docs like past UK, France and Portugal visas and said its nit necessary, that Portugal embassy has my records . I also think my letter my not have been good enough.
In my second application, nothing was removed, the woman who attended to me did not remove anything.

Check your PCC , if it is not expired, reapply if you can get appointment, but VFS now has become something else to get appointment date. I was lucky I booked the Abuja date for appointment as I was thinking if I get Lagos date, I will ignore the Abuja appointment, but I have not been able to get Lagos appointment. Even someone who was willing to exchange or sell her appointment to me, VFS said appointment was not transferable, so I went to Abuja. I am hoping for the best

WIZGUY69:



Thanks for the detailed response.
In my own case, I think I was the cause of the refusal due to my impatience.

I submitted my documents at the vfs March, 25th, so since I didn’t hear from them since that day, I sent them a mail yesterday evening, and in less than an hr, I got a rejection mail.

It came as shock to me as to why they will review my documents and supporting documents in less than an hr.

I just want to know the status of my visa application and not the decision.

They just sent a mail in less than an hr.

How am I going to get the passport back? Will they send it to the vfs or what?

And again, all my documents were completed. Even add a lot of extra documents. I’m confused on what to give them again.

MadeMan01:


Oh. That was an error on your part. It's was too early to ask. The website and other forums says it's between 30-90 days to get a decision. Some people may be lucky to get in less.

They will send your passport to you by DHL with a reason for refusal letter in Portuguese inside. Look at the letter and note which box is ticked or marked, then translate on Google translator to know exact reason
