Did you create an itinerary as a separate document ?

Manlikechims:
It’s not about what he or she didn’t do. Something is definitely happening with French.
They are either refusing people or giving very short period.
Anyone applying right now should be cautious. If it isn’t very important, don’t bother applying right now till whatever dust settles.
Just thought to warn people out there.
My family and I got a month and we’ve had long term visas before the recent renewal.
It also took us about 6 weeks to get our passports back. At the time we submitted they said 15 days but then it changed to 30 days minimum.

Chelseaboy101:
You're right... I've been issued visa twice between last year december and this July. I applied again for december and I was denied. A few others that I know had traveled to France like 3-4 times without getting denied, this time, all were denied.

chikajulietleo:
So I added a cover letter and it included my itenary from day one till I leave Paris.

God didn’t just want me to get it because I submitted everything necessary.

Next year will try again or I will even try Germany next time.

chikajulietleo:
Please do you have the email or address I can send this to?


Thank you so much.

Wow. How's it?

It was successful, 1 year given. I had 6 months earlier. There was a crowd of people to pick up, so we should expect more testimonies here.
Documents submitted during my application include company CAC documents, employment letter, pay slips, personal dom account, company account, cover letter, pictures of previous visas, pictures of previous visits and hotel and flight reservation (both unpaid).

ozymes:
Congratulations!!! What was the duration of your submitted travel insurance?

Restaurant92:
1 year. My last France visa, I also did 1 year insurance but was given 6 months visa. Thanks.

Ohh. Which of the insurance companies would you recommend ?

You guys do not take my update seriously.

I told you they released an internal memo amongst schengen countries last week.

It is not only France, they are all denying visas now.

Arry110:
my very close friend who is a first timer to schengen got Finnish visa 2 weeks ago, people are still getting

hunee:
no doubts, but the reality is not far-fetched.

You can visit odeku to confirm from the people on ground what i have said, not the ones after applications fees.

They will confirm my statement.

MsAnonymous:
Pls do you need to explain funds into your account apart from salary for France visa?
UK style is in my head.

donteebalo:
No No No! But if it there is a huge fund(s) credited to the account, you can back it up with documented evidence. (E.g Property sale, loan repayment, etc)

Hi, I am a business owner. I deposit profits worth around 600k to my account every month. Sometimes it can even go up to 1.2m. I have about 9.8M on my bank account and I am planning to apply for France visit visa. What are my chances of getting the visa? Lastly, I don't withdraw from my account. I only did 1 month ago however, I use Mobile Money for some expenses.

mrphysics:
I have just collected my passport with my multi entry Talent/Research Visa appended.

Thank you all for the support and information shared.

God bless

Kandas:
Hello brother. I requested to email you. Please kindly respond. I've gotten a supervisor at IMT Atlantique Nantes and would really love your answers to some of the questions I have. Please reply the mail with your number. Thanks a lot

Gillbertoesther:
I just picked up a passport and was given just one month despite having 3 months previously. I thought they’d give 6 months this time!

I submitted Nov 12th and got message for passport pickup on 5th of December. 3 weeks processing.

I just wished to share.

MsAnonymous:
Pls has any first timer been given recently?

I want to know if I should go for my appointment scheduled for this week or just reschedule given the huge refusals lately.
