Option 1.

Make sure it is stamped and signed by the relevant officer of the department in charge.

All the best!

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.

Thank you!

Just wanted to add that, it's just the CEO and some few staff (me and others all on the same level/department). So, is it fine if it's the CEO signing the payslip?

Good day 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@hunee

I booked on booking.com just filter by free cancellation and pay at the hotel, it will bring out options you don’t have to pay for right now, though you still need a card. We haven’t booked flight yet but plan using Ethiopian airline because I heard you can book without paying. I’ll try KLM as well if it has it too.

Your support documents already carries information on this , why repeating them? Na wetin dey vex visa officers be this. Long write ups, and rhetorics.

They don't have time to be reading ,my previous Schengen visas, I didn't even have substantial monies in the account, just be genuine with your intentions.

I am sure you know visa officers have a number of files they must attend to daily, so they don't have time.

When you begin say too much and list too many things, you create an atmosphere for suspicion. (just as you can see on the last post for a rejection a page back)

And you know these people are psychologists.

You people don't even know the techniques of visa applications, "sometimes" you have to even use reverse psychology for them too, depending on the circumstance.

Una just dey apply for visa, na strategy. Lol grin

Simple, Straight and keep your letters short but detailed.

You want a visa, go straight and state the documents attached.

All the best.

Hi there,

Let me step in to help a little.

For tour reservations, check the websites of these companies Viator, Get Your Guide.

On their websites, you'll find book now, pay later tours. And for some tours, you have to pay now but make sure those ones are fully refundable.

For hotel reservations, check the websites of Booking.com, Agoda, etc. For hotel, you can filter by pay at the property, or book now pay later.

For travel insurance, I think the best option is still AXA Mansard insurance for Schengen countries. Although, it's relatively expensive but they offer guarantee of refund in case of visa rejection.

For letter of intent (aka cover letter), dig through this thread well, you should see some samples that you can tweak to fit your cousin's plans. Or search online for Schengen visa cover letter samples.

Hi,

They updated the TLS site yesterday. It seems to be having a few issues. I recommend you wait for a bit or try an alternative number.

All the best with your application!

For example, I had my flight booking via Wakanow, I was able to generate a booking invoice (i didnt pay) but i did this booking 3 days prior to the appointment day
Which i know that the booking might have been cancelled. Should i be worried?
Am I on track??
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Jomacokwu: 1:32pm On Jul 02, 2025

The second one.

Whenever you're using +234 there's no need to put the first zero in a phone number. Although, some platforms now 'understand Nigerians' so they'll delete that zero even if you include it.
