Hi Jane, i dont know how to adress you as he or she because of your name. That aside, yes, i confirmed today, service fee for appointment to Tls is 44k per person. For clarity on travel insurance pack, i dont know about your preference, but with ALLIANZ is not bad. Lastly, do not waste monies on premium lounge, you didnt tell us if you are first timer or frequent, your point of submission. Ok, you can keep that discreet, but know that premium lounge is a waste of monies unless if you have other engagements should you use it. Take into note that VIP submissions almost experience same waiting times as regular.

Wishing you a successful visa outcome. As for the amount to be paid at TLS for your visa application, probably someone else can help with the figures.
Shallom.
Hello please can you share how long the waiting time is during the appointment. I want to pick an 8AM appointment so I’ll know if I should take the whole day of or just few hours.

How long does it take to submit the application ?? Thanks so much

Why strange?

Anyways, I got the Italian Visa.

davodyguy:
Literally interpreting your write up here means you got a french visit visa and instead of using that visa to France, you decided to use French Visa to travel to Mexico.

This is strange. huh

Congratulations.
Could it be that because it’s your 4th Schengen visa that’s the reason yours came out faster? I applied for my first Schengen visa in Abuja on 27th Feb, and nothing yet.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by puffmama: 1:05pm On Mar 13, 2025
Thank you so much , i don't think so, I actually thought this was late as the 3rd one cane out after 3 days . This one took 10 days so I suspect they have a lot of applications but frequent travellers checks may be a bit faster than a first timer.
I pray you get a favourable response soon.

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by puffmama: 1:09pm On Mar 13, 2025
Yes it is because people that use their schghen visa would usually use it for any of the states first before using it for other countries that accept schghen visas or at least try to use it for the schghen states before they apply for another one .
I am glad you were able to get a the Italian one because the scenario you painted is a typical example of what is refereed to as visa shopping and some embassies frown against it.

Congratulations

The document I attached should answer your question... even if the study is for more than one year, do not choose more that one year... choose 6 months and above or 1 year, whichever option you see there.
Please, can I get this document ?

Thanks for all your assistance. I got the email to pick up today. I did my biometrics same day with my friend/colleague as we are planning a girls trip together. We were both issued a 1 month visa. It’s our first time by the way.

Your contributions on the Mexico thread have been very very informative so far. Well done! But is there anyway I can chat you up privately? I’ve actually tried to send you a DM via NL too.
Thanks.

Were they first timers or frequent travelers?

It seems TLS are faster for people they are rejecting... I have two people who got respond a week after and was denied.. could it be that once you get faster response the person did not get visa ?

That is very low ... And I know of genuine bank statements source if you don't mind contact me.
cheesy cheesy how can it be genuine when the funds does not belong to the person.

10m is sufficient. Stop confusing the person because you want to advocate your unethical hustle.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by hunee: 12:27pm On Mar 16, 2025
does not matter. France is the fastest schengen country to always give feedbacks for applications. This is why alot of people prefer them
gr8femfred:
1st timer ... Please time as to do with who they will give and who they will reject.

Am just asking
