I submitted Nov5 too, i just got a mail today to pick up my passport
I haven’t gotten a mail for a pick up. Can we discuss through email? Are you a first timer to apply for the visa?

The booking reservations people do with airlines, don't you know it gets cancelled by All Airlines after 48 hours of no payment?

Yet applications stay at the embassies awaiting decisions for weeks, airlines will now be waiting till decision is made and not sell to another person?
Embassies put the caveat do not pay for flight ticket until you're sure the visa would be granted.

All they want to see is that there's a booking, not that you must pay

Are you a first time traveller?
Basically, they just want to have an idea of your travel plans. Your points are very valid.

I was refused. The reason for the refusal was that, the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay wasn’t reliable

Can I use another company to apply for tourist visa or I should still go with my employer documents?
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Opeyemi007:
I’m sorry for the refusal. Why did you submit your employer’s bank statement? It was unnecessary if it’s not your own company nor a business trip. Did you receive your salary into the personal account you submitted? Using another company to apply right now doesn’t look good at all.

Why did you use your Employer's SOA ? Are you going for a business trip sponsored by your company ? If it's a vacation, just use your personal bank account and write a convincing cover letter .. Plus any other documents to show proof of ties to your home country.

Answer these questions and I will telll you why you may have been refused

1. Was it vacation or business trip, since your company dropped their statement?
2. Have you traveled to any European country before or it was virgin passport?

That is the same question I am asking. Why Company statement?

I used my company statement on two occasions and I was granted. Because the company wrote a sponsorship letter along with the statement

Anyone here used VFS to submit their application ? I was asked to provide proof of resources after a little over 1 week of submission but then I noticed my tracking is showing invalid inputs after .

Could you please elaborate ? I thought they meant to show how I made the money in my account..



This is exactly the message from VFS : Proof of own resources ............ Any documents explaining how you finance yourself.

So let me answer

1. The office since you included their statement should have written a letter of sponsorship and that you mean so much to them, hence sponsoring your vacation
2. You needed to have written a personal letter to speak about who you are and the reason why you wouldn't japa
3. Because you're not traveled before, to show you're previous immigration history of returning to Nigeria after those travel, they're scared you won't return
4. If you're married and they see that something like your family would make you return, they may have considered
5. If you have any landed property assets that would make you return, they would have considered.


If you want to reapply, out all these in place
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by davodyguy: 7:27pm On Nov 21, 2024
[quote author=AKAyomide post=132977020][/quote]The last paragraph is what I addressed in my last post.

They believe you'll japa

Sounds like they’re asking for your bank statement. It does no harm to show how you made your money

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by dubaiboy1: 8:23pm On Nov 21, 2024
To show how I made my money or to show a new SOA ? Because I replied and sent everything I could about my business ONLY... I didn't send a new SOA .

To interpret the English literally, it means Bank Statement, but since you said you provided.

Did you put yours as an individual or the company's?
