@ lekan

Your application is still under processing at consulate

Pls where did you bought ur insurance?

I did worldwide insurance from Axa. That is what I get whenever I travel anywhere. Worldwide insurance will cover Schengen too. Plus I’m going to non Schengen countries during my trip.

I usually get it from Axa in Lagos. Paid 33k for a 4 week coverage.

I think it's still processing at the consulate.. First timer because someone here also submitted around 1st of August on USA Travel history already got approved last week

I’m first time for Schengen but I have USA, uk, and African travel history.

Does travel history make processing faster?
I can’t imagine that is the logic.
Isn’t it whose file they pick first that they will look at and approve or deny asap

Oyin999:
Mine was 5th and I'm not a first timer guess we'd hear feedback by next week hopefully. Please update me wen you get a response

Ok

Yes, based on timeline been shared here most people with USA travel history received feedback from tls fast within one week, some two weeks although it's not always guaranteed for quick response... Na to wait for collection and approval

Abuja or lagos ?

yup travel history makes vetting easier and faster....anyone with usa and uk visa is likely solid...as these countries dont give their visas easily...so am assuming the schengen people skip some vetting steps for such people..hence faster processing times

so could someone clarify for me..

1. is it a must that one must enter the schengen area tru the country 1 applied to? ( note i didnt say i wud be going to other schengen countries in my application , but plans hv changed and am considering touching 2 or 3 other countries}

2. i was given a single entry 30 days visa- france (2wks max stay), does this single entry apply to other schengen countries i may choose to enter -- if i decide to explore other countries during my trip.

3. does this 2wks maximum stay also apply to other schengen countries i may choose to visit?

@ white Mandingo

1) No not a must

2) single entry means you use the visa once to enter Schengen country


3) The two weeks permit you to stay in all Schengen area,if you like you can visit four Schengen countries in a day,if you have the energy and money you can visit all the 26 countries in the Schengen area within the two weeks.is not an offence to visit all Schengen countries in a trip.

Please which insurance company did you use to get ur visa,and please help me send there contact phone number

1. The passport number is written on it. But that does not matter. What is important is that your name is boldly written on the insurance certificate. Passport number is not what makes a travel insurance legally binding and I’m sure visa officials know this. Plus there are online databases to check the validity of travel insurance through the policy number which they can use to verify too.

2. I usually buy I online directly. Even though I believe Axa is a useless insurance company because of my experience with them and their claims process. I bought this last one because it was a weekend that I applied for my Schengen visa and had no time to wait because the next available date was the Monday for appointment.

Lekan2348:
Hello guys. Please does anyone know the meaning of this. Does it mean that my passport is on the way back or it is still in process

NOPE, your passport is still under processing....its after this stage...that it would be returned to you

Hello lekan

But you said u bought it from Lagos in ur chat above 33k for 4weeks, you said is worldwide insurance that is what I want to buy

Lekan2348:
Ok

mine was also 5th of August still waiting

You must arrive at France that is the country that issued you the visa.Then you are free to visit any other Schengen country you wish to either by Air,train or bus all within the period of the visa issued to you.
you must also exit from France.

Yes I bought Axa worldwide travel insurance from their Nigerian subsidiary. Just google travel insurance Axa Nigeria. You can do it yourself easily. Just fill the forms and make payment. You will get the certificate immediately .

From my friend who goes there every year, you don’t need the go to the country you applied to first or exit through there. The place you applied to must be the longest stay you have, that is all.

Not true

Hello,
Please can I find car dump/scrap yards in France, I mean where to buy used cars and also used car parts in France?

Can I also see a shipping company that does container sharing in France too?

Hi,

1. is it a must that one must enter the schengen area tru the country 1 applied to? ( note i didnt say i wud be going to other schengen countries in my application , but plans hv changed and am considering touching 2 or 3 other countries} If this is your first Schengen visa, I highly recommend you enter through the country that issued your visa and use that as the starting point for your other activities. It is okay to visit other countries even if you did not say so when applying. You can also choose to fly home from a different country.

2. i was given a single entry 30 days visa- france (2wks max stay), does this single entry apply to other schengen countries i may choose to enter -- if i decide to explore other countries during my trip. Your single entry means you can enter the Schengen area once and tour as many countries as you like within your approved maximum stay. Meaning, you can use your single entry to visit as many countries in the Schengen area as you can as long as you don't leave the Schengen area eg France, Netherlands, Belgium etc. Once you leave the Schengen area, you cannot return again on that same visa.

3. does this 2wks maximum stay also apply to other schengen countries i may choose to visit? 2 weeks in total across all Schengen countries. Not 2 weeks per country.

All the best with your trip.

it is better you add both statement instead of transferring to avoid issues.

spriteB:
Yes, I have received 2 confirmations - Visa fee payment confirmation and application transferred to the Embassy.

Good morning, Please I am trying to book an appointment on tls website for france but the payment page is not coming up. When I click pay by card or pay by transfer, it just shows up as a blank page that doesnt load any information. How did you resolve making the payment because it cancels my booking after 2 hours without payment.... Please has anyone else experienced similar issues and what did you do? Kindly assist

Also how do i pay the visa fee, I don't see any link on my portal on france-visas.gouv to make the payment

Thank you

Happy Sunday house,

Please, I would like to seek advice on our application, tomorrow is our appointment and my wife's business account has low funds in it. although i'm sponsoring these trips. Can we fund this account with remarks that explain the purpose of the money or should I just print it like that , or should I not add it at all? Please, I need advice because tomorrow is our appointment.

I'm also submitting my salary and business account with enough funds. also this is a renewal application, I just want to be sure.

abeg make una advice.

Thank you.
