Happy Sunday everyone,

I just wanna say thank you to everyone on this platform for all the info we got from here... It assisted us with putting together my niece's visit visa application to Norway and she was approved!

She submitted her application at VFS Abuja on Jan 24 and got back her passport on Feb 11 with a visa for the exact number of days she requested
All glory to God!
Thank you all

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 ?

VISA alert !!!

Applied for nertherland visa through the French embassy.
Submitted 21/02/2025 at Lagos TLS
Received a mail for collection today (17/03/25).

This is actually the longest time I’ll wait for a response 😡

Was given 90 days multiple entry eventhough I asked for 14 days single entry.

Wow congratulations

I applied for Nertherland and don’t intend to go to France, but nothing on the visa indicates that it’s a nertherland visa.

I hope it wont count against me subsequently if I don’t get stamped in in France.🤔

Milito:
That took quite a while. Is this your first Schengen as well?

Is the visa code starting with FRA?

Hi,

I got a Netherlands visa last year through the French Consulate. I went to Amsterdam with it, no issues at all. In Nigeria, France issues visas on behalf of Netherlands. Under remarks you should see R/NL. This implies France issued on behalf of Netherlands.

Enjoy your trip!

MsAnonymous:
Hello house,

Pls I intend to visit France and some other Schengen countries in July.
I am a first timer, pls what are my chances of being given a multiple entry visa?
Most first timers around me were given single entry visas..
Do I write in my application that I intend to visit multiple countries? will that help my case?
I have valid UK, US and Canada visas, does this help my chances of getting a multi entry visa on first trial?

Awaiting views and responses. Thanks house

cucumbar:
You don’t need a multiple entry visa if you are visiting these countries on a single trip.

You will only need multiple entry visa if intend to leave the shenghen zone and come back again with the same visa .

Chimzy09:
Congratulations. I'm sure there would have been a possibility of you getting a longer duration if you submitted an insurance policy with a longer validity period...given your current and past visas. Please put this into consideration next time.

cucumbar:
not necessarily true.

I submitted a 14 days insurance, requested for 14 days but was granted 90 days multiple entry.

More likely because it is his first shengen visa .

hunee:
Insurance doesnt matter. we all know, track records do.

cucumbar:
Yes, starts with FRA.

This is my third Schengen visa

babstanley:
Good day all, thank you all for the good work you are doing. Please I want to know if Tax clearance or pension is compulsory for tourist visa application. I'm self-employed and I own my law firm.
