There's 90% possibility that you'll have problems at the POE in Germany. When filling your France visa form, they had asked you your point of first entry into the Schengen zone and you had filled FRANCE, that's why they granted you that visa. Go into through France, then go anywhere else you wish in the Schengen zone and avoid avoidable problems.

Leave that which you have doubt for that which there's no doubt at all. Simple Principle.


Thank you so much. I really appreciate

Good evening guys, please do i need to staple my documents while submitting?
Also do i need to put in an a4 sized envelope?
Lastly, the office for submitting France visa, is it the one in Adeola Odeku?

Hello,
Gooday.
Please if you have a france Visit visa (2nd timer) and I enter through Germany, does this hinder my future france visas if I choose not to enter directly from France but from other Schengen countries?

Would the visa officers see anything wrong with not entering France with their visa? And wasting their visa?

It does not matter , you can choose to enter from anywhere
Thank you

booked for which date?
I booked for December 12th for someone but it was an error because they are not frequent travelers so I am trying to see what I can do to change it back to first timer , the customer service said I will have to pay again and fill a new form , I think that is unfair , I have tried to fill a new form but it is saying that my application number and passport number is already on another appointment..
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by hunee: 7:49am On Nov 03, 2024

I don’t know if you’re saying the truth but they can never take 6months pay slips from you. They’ll remove 3 and take only 3. But bank statement yea.

You're wrong, I submitted 6months payslip and bank statement during my last application , in fact I have always submitted 6months statement and payslips. They return 3months to some people though

It's good to stick with what you're 100% sure about

I've done two Schengen Visas (France and Italy) both 6 months SOA and were granted.

They’ll return 3 and take only 3 because they’re doing their jobs and wouldn’t want to receive query but can take 6months statement or even more.

I don’t know though. I submitted 6 because of my statement, 3 were given back to me and even when I told the lady to include it because of my statement, she said she’ll doing her job and wouldn’t want to loose her job.

I don’t know of other attendants but I believe a policy is a policy though!
