SCHENGEN VISA REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR NIGERIA APPLICANTS
This post is to encourage people to do their traveling processing for themselves and discourage them from patronizing an agent, that will eventually scam you and/or include a false document to your documents which will eventually lead to the embassy denying you visa and even being banned from entering that particular country for years or for life.

THIS ARTICLE IS FOR NIGERIA APPLICANTS ONLY. I WILL SOON RELEASE ANOTHER ONE FOR OTHER (AFRICAN) NATIONALS TOO .

Another question please.

I understand that they withheld my bank statement, Hotel reservation, Flight reservation.and gave me all other documents back. If I appeal do I need to provide new ones or i should believe they already have them.

Secondly, these are their reason for my refusal
Justification for the purpose of in tended stay was not provided
2: The information submitted for the justification of the intended stay was not reliable
3; your intention to leave the territory of the member state could not be ascertained

So please what new can I go with in my appeal? As regards these reasons .
