We decided to do individual applications and a group tls appointment. As we read this is also an option.
I just wanted to be sure if this is okay ? So I would appreciate any response I can get on this

I would really appreciate answers please 🙏🏽

Hello@Fumns

Often, when applying as a group, there is a possibility that some members may be refused. Therefore, it is advisable for each individual to submit a separate application and schedule their appointment through the TLSContact center website.

Refusal of a member's application will definitely not affect the others

Hello @Lukgaf

It seems you may have misunderstood my point. I intended for each of them to have their documents considered as separate applications by the Visa Officer. These are applications from friends, not family, to avoid the Visa Officer from granting visas to only a few of them.

I see. Many thanks for your clarification

Please share your info. First time Schengen applicant or not? Any travel history? Your personal profile (married, single, business owner, employee, etc)? Submitted documents?

I believe all these can help others too plan accordingly or so.

Congratulations once again! I hope you enjoy your travels.

Thank you for sharing this great news and congratulations on getting your visa. Mine was submitted on the 28th of May, I applied to the Netherlands. Hopefully, I receive some good news this week.

Hi guys, please I will be studying at NHL Stenden this September and the school just sent me a mail yesterday that my study visa has been approved. So I will be picking up the MVV sticker in Ghana.

A family friend booked an appointment for me on the 28th of Auguat but I have to be in the NL waaay before that date. I have sent a mail to acc-ca@minbuza.nl telling them about my situation and called them too but they instructed me to send a mail instead.

Please, my question is, can one go to the Royal Dutch Embassy in Accra, Ghana without an appointment, and if not, please share your experiences and things required (esp the 35 by 45mm passport requirement) at the embassy.

Thank you.

Please guys, can i use 1 email to apply for my kids, age 3 and 5years . I already filled for me and my wife with separate email, I just want to confirm if i can use my email or my wife's email to apply for the kids? or i should use separate email for them?

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by VisaZest: 11:23am On Jun 25, 2025

Hi,

Which platform are you asking about? France Visas or TLS. In both cases, since you are traveling as a family, you should create a group appointment.

All the best with your application!

Congratulations! Do you mind sharing the following info?

What type of visa (Business or Tourism), What was the reason for the initial refusal and what did you do differently when reapplying to have boosted your chances.

Congratulations once again!

Morning everyone,

Let's say I'm working for a (small) company that doesn't use a payroll system. But I'm earning high enough to be able to afford traveling, how do I get a payslip?

Based on my research so far, these are the options I can think of:

1. Get the company to give me a typed break down of my monthly income for the past three months on a company letterhead. (Not sure of this but with some convincing I can pull it off.)

2. Submit my statement of account that shows my salary and use highlighter to indicate the salaries

3. Submit my statement of account without any indication and hope the visa officer will find the salaries for the period of three months.

N/B: I'm using the same account I use for my salary as my personal account so money comes in and goes out steadily. And it is this same account I'll be using it's statement for the visa application.

I want to appeal a France visa refusal for my girlfriend and I will like to know if it should be in French language or English language, on the refusal letter they did not specify that the appeal should be in French or English. Anyone who has done this before?

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by atm0147: 7:25pm On Jun 26, 2025

Both.

Good morning house,

Please I have a lump sum of 10m in my account as a result of land I sold to finance my business visa application… I want to ask if transfer of ownership (stating the amount and date I sold it) is enough to explain the lump sum in my account after stating it in my cover letter that I have a lump sum in my account as a result of sale of land ? Please house any advice

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by CoconutiHR: 11:11am On Jun 27, 2025

Please I just received notification that my passport has been returned, Its to be sent to port Harcourt, will it come today? Or Next Monday?
