visamaster2025:
Do not be mis lead total liar 🤥, You cannot. It is not possible. It can be use to travel to any Schengen countries only.

He/she need to apply for Mexico visa separately at Mexico embassy at Abuja

visamaster2025:
It is not VFS, search on google TLS Lagos France appointment

But you need to have fill your visa application at the France embassy portal

Please do not do mistake and avoid distractions. If there is a mistake on your application you will be sent back at the submission centre to book a new appointment

Good luck 🤞

donteebalo:
Are you truly a visa master? And why will you call me a liar or misleading anyone? Please make your research and cover your face in shame as the one misleading. Don’t dabble into what you have no knowledge of. YOU CAN TRAVEL TO MEXICO WITH A MULTIPLE SCHENGEN VISA! WITHOUT ANY OTHER VISA NEEDED!!! Make your research and stop unnecessary assumptions. This is something I have done before!!!!

visamaster2025:
Dude sorry my bad---

Yes, you can enter Mexico with a valid Schengen visa for tourist, business (invited) and transit purposes for up to 180 days. This applies to holders of multiple-entry Schengen visas that are currently valid and have been used at least once to enter the Schengen Area. Key requirements: But he/she needs to be careful if his/her requirement is not perfect

Goodevening all,My visa was denied last week.I was really sad coz I felt I was supposed to get the visa.Reasons for refusal.
(1) ... The purpose of stay is not reliable..
(2)There are reasonable doubts that you will not return to your home country when your visa expires.I applied for a 8 day visit to Paris
Pls how do I correct these reasons?

Pls help a brother pls

Dottune:
I would suggest you do, because they have access to that information, you can highlight it and tell them to look at your current application based on its merit and not on your previous refusals.

visamaster2025:
Why are you appealing? I believe it’s a waste of time. There is a 95% tendency chance that you will loose the appeal

I advise you do not appeal. You can re- apply but make sure you have corrected and resolve what is stated in the former refusal letter

All the best

visamaster2025:
Yes it is easy for both . Apply at Lagos Centre


Good luck 🤞

Chelseaboy101:
Hi guys ! Please I need your input.. Travel date is December 20 . I chose Lagos as a center of submission but the earliest date I'm seeing is December 1 . How do I change to Abuja ? While filling the form, I also chose Lagos to submit.

Marcgrace:
Hello@Everyone,

Has anyone appealed a France visa refusal? I need some advice...
Someone with experience in a Graceful Appeal, an Appeal to the Commission for Appeals Against Visa Application Refusals (CRRV), or an Appeal to the Administrative Court of Nantes ?

visamaster2025:
@Visamaster,

The highlighted statement below is not true. Having 7.2M in salary account for 8 days is not too low. I used almost same amount and visa was issued. I will advise the cover letter be strong enough to convince the VO.

Thank you.

Very sorry for your refusal. Why not seek for some advice from experts before you apply? No, do not apply immediately until you understand, study your refusal letter and get them solved properly.

According to documents submitted - Your Balance in your Bank Statement is too low. #7.2M is too low to visit France for 8 days. That is why refusal Number 1 is issued to you.[/b]

**** I also do not think your cover letter is not explanatory enough to the VO.

On Refusal Number 2 - Means your Travel History, you never travel before. Look for some civilized countries to go first before applying again. May i asks which of the Africa visas you presented? Africa visas are not recognized any more.

Getting a Schengen, USA, Canada Visas sometimes you need to use money to find money. This is your situation now.

Good luck

visamaster2025:
@Visamaster,

In as much I won't like to argue with you, Luck abounds but it is not compulsory you book big hotels and taxi when you get there. With all documents and a well structured itinerary, its okay with that amount. I am a frequent traveller and believe what the applicant packaged was good for the visa. Nobody has monopoly of knowledge. We live to learn and learn to live.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please, do not compare your own situation or your visa application with others. "Luck is just on your side". Typically, #7.2M is too low to visit France for 8 days.

Think about the economic situation in the country?

How much is #7,2M this moment?

If it is for real Calculate it - Returned Flight ticket, Accommodation for 8 days, Feeding, Transport (here and there) and other miscellaneous expenses. with family back home, also are you not going to save money behind for use when you are back?

Cheers!!!

SPDAZZY:
Please i can't find where to do the dummy booking on airfrance website.

The hold booking I see is only for 72hours.

visamaster2025:
Hey Dude,

Why you complicating things for yourself, if your visa is refused you will be thinking why? Not knowing you caused it yourself. Why going for a dummy Flight booking? Dummy booking hold reservation maximum for 72 hours, after 72 hours it will be cancelled. It is not Hotel reservation.

I will advise you to look for a trust airline agent, pay him / her the flight reservation booking under #15k - #20k to have a rest of mind,

*** please be aware that Flight booking reservation are among the essential documents the VO / embassy does confirm in any visa application.

Cheers!!!

Zeefaa:
Hello, Please has anyone submitted an application in Abuja recently?
I’d like to know if the current waiting period is now one month like how Lagos is recently

SPDAZZY:
I have that from trip.com but it says flight reservation only and not booking so I was wondering if that's workable.

SPDAZZY:
Their site was having issues but just went through an hour ago. There is availability from Friday 17th

TheLoanGuy:
It is workable don't mind him. Use Ethiopian Airlines to book your flight, use the pay later option. Your flight ticket will be sent to your email.

visamaster2025:
Huumm, yes, it is Possible, but do you think the embassy don't know the theory? We spoil things for ourselves and future applicants.


Ethiopia airline you need to transit, Wise thing to do why not get it done sincerely look for a direct flight. IF you are a first timer i will advise you not to do it but frequent traveler, you can

Zeefaa:
Thanks. This is Abuja? only seeing appointment from Nov 18th or so.
Also pls is Abuja taking over a month now too for collection/decision?

TheLoanGuy:
I did it as a first timer, there's no spoiling things here. They just need to see your itinerary. They clearly state themselves that you should not pay for flights before you get your Visa.

Or you also think they don't know about the direct flights either.

Also, you only need a transit visa if the layover is going to be for more than 12 hours, which clearly isn't the case, their layover is usually under 12 hours to prevent this from happening.

Stop sharing half-baked information and misinformation here.

visamaster2025:
If you do it as a first timer means automatically you can do it forever? you are funny

visamaster2025:
Half Baked information ppsshhhh Funny you. Let him / her go-ahead. i rest my head. Correction, nobody informs him / her to pay for flight before getting the visa.

They just need to see your itinerary ?---- WRONG. you think the embassy will not confirm it, with the itinerary? Am not saying he needs a transit or layover or whatever. What i know is he should document his / her documents perfectly. because you did it last time then it will keep working forever.

NOTE -- Embassy Policies changes. For me I believe is not right.
