For frequent travellers, it’s best to submit your old passports together with your current passport so that the officer can see direct evidence of your past visas and trips. I think it helps you get a longer visa tenure. I asked the TLS officer if I could submit them and she said yes.

You should definitely take copies of all your past visas (including non-Schengen) and immigration stamps as a backup in case they don’t allow you submit the old passports. VFS UK doesn’t allow you submit old passport so you need photocopies for that.

Now, You Begin The Documentation Aspect Which Is Most Critical . In No Order, Please Read
- Gather All Evidences Of Your Family Work( Cac, Tax, Pension, Etc)
- Proof Of Marriage
- A Letter Of Approval From Your Children School Or A Note That They Are Out Of School And Can Go On Holidays Overseas
-Proof Of Family Properties (Car Document, Land, Houses, Etc)

- Proof Of Previous Trip Out Of Nigeria- Copies Of Your Canadian Visas, Etc - Note That You Are A Frequent Traveler If You Have Being To Uk, Us, Schengen , And Canada - I Think, So Do Not Register As First Timers For Your Tls Appointment - This You Can Confirm From Tls Customer Care In Advance.
- Letter Of Financial/Sponsorship Support - Duly Signed By You And Your Husband Stating That You Are Both Co-Sponsoring The Trip.
- Passport Of You, Husband, Kids - Original To Be Submitted - Also Do Copies Of Data Pages (Colored , 2 )
In Addition, You Can Take Passport Sized Photographs As Requested By The Embassy At Tls - It Cost 6k.
Other Documents, Letter Of Introduction, Letter Of Leave Of Absence Drafted By Your Hr, Duly Signed And Stamped, Flight Reservation(Do Not Pay For It) Use Ethiopianairlines.Com , Hotels Reservations (Booking.Com, Hotels.Com) , Attach Other Support Documents.

@Teemom , DO THIS BELOW

For family group applications, do like this and follow patiently; it is easy.
- Fill all forms correctly here: https://france-visas.gouv.fr/en/online-application, sign up and get started.
- Afterwards, create a tls account here to link all reference numbers for your group visa application here : https://fr.tlscontact.com/visa/ng/ngLGV2fr/home ( Register for this after you have successfully and correctly filled all the forms )
Mind you, this is lagos link, you can redirect if you are submitting in Abuja. It is easy, just be patient to follow it through.

Copies of past visas are preferred.
Inbetween, you made a valid point.

i was ones a victim i was denied because after returning back to Nigeria I didn't show up at Italy Embassy

davodyguy:
Which one be Yoruba na?

What of those that can't speak Yorùbá? Ejowo óo

Anyway, there's someone here that was denied Italy Visa just because he didn't show up at the embassy after he returned back to Nigeria.

You're very correct.

Once that caveat is there, make sure you come back to the TLS or Embassy upon your return

Hello all,

I want to apply for Shenghen Visa via Lithuania. I am not sure if they have their consulate or embassy here in Nigeria. Anyone with useful information on this and how to proceed with the whole process?

What do you mean pay for biometrics?
Is it the 88k tls appointment thing? Or the visa fee?

MsAnonymous:

88k TLS appointment.
Asking specifically for a first timer. As I know date for biometrics are now a bit far into the future, does it make sense to fill my form saying i'm travelling July, only to end up not having a close by date for biometrics on TLS portal. Lagos state

He can get late April as a frequent traveller.

If he is not a frequent traveller, perharps sometime in May/June. He should check for dates frequently.

The address and telephone number should be on the booking. Scroll to the last part of it.
If it's not there, put the hotel in Google and search.
