But it's bot compulsory it must be Mastercard or visacard, I hope verve will work as well?
Verve is supposed to work since they're probably using a Nigerian bank POS machine but just to be on the safer side, why not carry a MasterCard or VISA card.

Thank you very much. I'm much open to criticism.

In fact, I've been a long-time lurker on this thread and eventually had to create an account on Nairaland so that I can get help from others in looking at my files and docs.

Thank you once again. I'm glad you found time out of your own schedule to even reply to strangers on the internet.

Wow, this looks very simple, thank you for sharing.

So, you've been using this format to get France visas?


Also, the Tax document you mentioned in number 4 of your list, is it the company tax document or your personal tax?

I've worked on the cover letter to reduce the amount of irrelevant information using your sample as a guide. I'll attach two screenshots. The version 1 is the previous version and the version 2 is the latest one.

I really want to highlight the strong ties to home country (the text after my list of attached documents) because I'm a young single male traveller. The reason for this is based on what I've read online, visa issuing officers are always looking for the slightest chance to deny the application of applicants with my profile (young, single, male) so one has to provide enough proof that yes, I'll return home after my trip in order to further convince them.

But, I'm still looking forward to your opinion on that as well.

Thanks once again!

In my personal opinion (I stand to be corrected), the purpose of including a cover letter is to share additional information/clear any doubts in the mind of the VO. Looking at this letter, all information shared can be found on your checklist/application form.

You see part I bolded so, I'm just overly worried/anxious because of my profile: single male applicant looking to travel.

I've read in different forums how one has to let the VO know that look, "I'm not trying to go to your country and stay indefinitely as I have other things doing at home", hence the reason why I kept including strong ties to Nigeria .

But it seems I'm doing analysis paralysis with the too much calculation I'm putting into the cover letter.

I agree with you.
However, these are not parameters for visa decisions
Flow with the trend.

You can see the spate of rejections of late. This is summer period. There's a workload, visa officers around this time will typically not have time to be reading long texts.


I am advocate of supporting documents. Once your documents are solid enough it's OK.

Remember too that most of these details are already stated on your visa form.

I already said earlier. Visas are applied for technically and strategically, so always have that at the back of your mind.

[quote author=CGEH post=135516786][/quote]Sorry about this dear internet fren. Better luck next time.

As per the first reason here, what documents did you submit. Was there any one that's not clear or seems shady?

I understand you might not be in the right mood for questions because of this but I'm just asking in case some of us too can learn from your experience.
