Hello house,

I applied for a Netherlands business visa thru the french embassy in lagos, but was refused: reason-"The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose & conditions of the intended stay was not reliable" am lost here...
In my application, I submitted invitation letter from the company in the Hague (Netherlands) the invite, indicated my name, passport no, details of the company etc.
I also included copies of last two (2) UK visas, travel insurance, flight & hotel bookings, letter of intro from my company, company's registration, 3 months bank statement, previous passports.
I would appreciate advice, ideas & suggestions, that will enable me get this visa (schengen), so I can meet up with the business meetings.

Many thanks

if you are applying for a Netherlands visa it should be through the Netherlands embassy not french. Another alternative is apply for a french visa, fly to france and move to the Netherlands from france (because they are both schengen countries)

You are wrong sir! @ Bolded

The Dutch embassy in Nigeria no longer issue visas to prospective travellers, since they have outsourced their visa processing to both the French embassy (Lagos area) and Belgian embassy (Abuja area). Since a few years now!
