I'm not familiar with the VisaPro number. I recommend waiting for responses from others regarding that.

"The VisaPro number is unique identifier assigned to your visa application by the French consulate or embassy. It is used to track the progress of your application and can be helpful if you need to make inquiries about your application status."
When you say fest time traveler do you mean travel to France or other countries?

I have travelled to the UK and I have other visas expired as well on my passport.

Please clarify can I choose multiply entry? I though they should be the one to decide which to give wether single or mutiple irrespective of my choice?

Hello house,

Is it a must to include business account, when you are funding your trio from personal account?

No. For a business name, Just your business registration documents and introduction letter will suffice.

Goodmorning boss.I have tried reaching you but to no avail.Can you please get acrossto me pls boss I'll like to tell u something.impeccable_d@yahoo.com
Cover letters don't determine visa approvals in all cases; these are just supportive documents.


In my opinion, keep everything simple and attach documents that are relevant to your application.

I have attended several interviews, and speaking from experience.

You did be suprised that, the person you least expected are the ones that usually breakthrough.

Understanding this dynamics is important.

If you like carry all the documents in this world with account balance running into millons, it still doesn't guarantee an approval.

In one word, keep your application simple yet detailed and hope for the best.

I believe Lagos may be relatively slower than Abuja. I got my passport back after 3 days. Frequent traveler though.

Good evening everyone, I need help please. I don't even know what to do anymore.
Got an air france ticket for my parents to travel from Abuja to the UK. My dad is going to be 80 and they have always loved airfrance but the last time they used AF to Uk was in 2022. Had no idea it is this frustrating with this transit visa else would have insisted on BA regardless of their sentiments.

I have not had an issue that frustrated me this much in a long why. The TLS online system does not allow you to pass this page in the screen shot so no date can be booked.have deleted and creates account more than 11 times. My siblings and I have tried this from different locations so it's not just me or my system. Please note this ATV. Ticket gotten is not refundable.

If I even book for actual schengen visa what will I say they want to do as they are not visiting anyone anywhere, more so because the UK visit is for 4 months duration... Even if we say tourists, and make a hotel booking, we can't probably make a booking for 4 months yet we need something that will envelope both legs into the UK and out.
Called TLS 11 times on Friday, same back and forth and issue not resolved.
Any advice please, I cannot afford to waste this ticket. Travel date is 1st week in July and I have been trying this for 3 weeks now.
Please help!! Many thanks

I was so frustrated with my last application that I had to use a travel agent to book the biometric appointment.

You are now running out of time so I advise that you use a reputable agent to get the date asap. You need about 2 to 3 weeks from date of biometric to get the passports back so get it sorted this week unfailingly. Good luck!

Hi guys! Please i need your opinion on a matter .. I got my visa but now I've just decided that I want to travel with my girlfriend.

Is it advisable that I attached my visa copy to her application as a supporting document ? Also, do you think I should write a letter to support her application ? Or she can go ahead and apply independently without mentioning me .

I would appreciate all the ideas I can get.. Thanks.

They have them 10 days.

Try to provide more context about your girlfriend's profile. Then maybe people can share some ideas.

I suggest you girlfried applies on her own - without any reference to you.

Help her with her application and the requisite documents.

Good morning everyone,

Please I have a question, will the flight ticket be accepted if the booking expires two days after the date for the biometrics?? Or will this count against my application?
.
Please I'll appreciate your responses thank you.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Ikebabay: 11:18am On Jun 04, 2025
Hi,

This should not be an issue. The flight ticket I used was one of those 72 hours tickets that expired before a decision was made on my application.

They know the booking will expire. It is not an issue at all.

However, I advise that you ensure your hotel booking is active. Choose an option that is 100% refundable.

It is advisable. Nothing is compulsory except the hotel and flight booking.
