Ashirioluwa thanks

I will use ALLIANZ insurance


but has anyone use ALLIANZ insurance and the visa was granted?
Mr. Man, embassy doesn’t issue out visa based on the insurance company you used. All they expect is for the applicant to buy insurance policy with a minimum coverage of at least €30000.

I have used Allianz and other insurance companies on multiple occasions to package visa applications for my spouse and my other family members.

I remember I used a one month Allianz insurance policy to package my spouse’s visa application and she was granted a 3-year visa.

Thank cantiride2

Is because I mistakelly pay for two insurance one from AXA, second from AlianZ insurance and I don't no which one is the best,when I try to cancel axa they did not reply my cancellation request. I prefer AlianZ because they wrote there medical benefits in uero while axa wrote it in Dollars.
It doesn’t matter if a travel insurance policy is written in dollars or euros; as long as it meets the €30000 minimum coverage requirements, it is fine.

Print all in coloured prevention is better than cure.

I usually just print only my passport data page in colour.

But if you are nervous about it, just print all your documents in colour if that makes you feel better.

@hunee @Africankel

Please I need your help gurus.

Last year, I applied for France visa (Schengen) Short Stay (90 days) visa for a birthday function I was invited to but I was given a 1-month visa in return. I plan to apply again this year as I plan to spend some weeks in France by January next year. Do I qualify to apply for 90 days or more (Long stay) or do you advise I stick to Short stay again?
What are my chances cuz I really wish to apply for a longer stay with multiple entries.
Please advise. Thanks in anticipation.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Africankel(m): 2:24pm On Sep 09, 2025
It is up to the visa officer to decide your visa validity.

1. Being a second time traveller, limit the duration of your trip to 1 week.

2. I do not think you should apply for longer stay, as that is specifically designed for people who intend to stay in Europe for more than three months - and you MUST show cause why you should be granted such.

3. You may still be granted a long validity visa (at the discretion of the visa officer). However, of granted, you are not allowed to stay more than three months.

In addition, any reason to go to Europe must be substantiated with sufficient evidence. Even frequent travelers sometimes get rejected, your basis for traveling must be solid. Goodluck

The consulate decides on what period of visa to be issued.

Hello House

I salute you all my teachers in the house Africankel,Hunne and the rest,seeing me on different nairaland forum is just to aquire knowledge, and it's not a crime to aquire knowledge, Africankel, truly I intend to apply for south Africa before, but I later change my mind when I saw on this forum that I have better chance to get France visa, even France visa is costly than South Africa visa yet I have the money,I consider the advantage of having Schengen visa over south Africa visa.that was the main reason I change my mind.if by searching for knowledge I have offend all of you,am very sorry oooko
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by hunee: 4:13am On Sep 11, 2025
I like the fact that you are taking responsibility for your actions which is very magnanimous. Please be informed that on this space, a lot of unscrupulous people have taken advantage of others with similar things you are doing. If you want to apply for SA, stay with SA, Gather your info and PUSH. Be decisive. Visa shopping is an offense and can have severe consequences as Kel highlighted.
