common mistakes made in hotel reservation for visa

Always confirm the hotel booked has reservation that is valid upto a day before departure. Majority of hotel bookings are canceled bearly 48 hours unless you pay for the whole stay.

Never submit a Visa application with a hotel reservation until you call the hotel to confirm that your booking is active.

Embassies now contact hotels more than once to confirm that your accommodation arrangement is valid before granting visa

Hotel Reservation that cannot be confirmed is a solid ground for visa refusal

The choice of hotel has a lot of effect on your application. Too cheap hotel is an indication of insufficient financing capacity. Expensive hotel
raises your budget and your income needs to be high to convince the visa officer. Yes, this is a dilemma and you need to be smart.\

stop making your reservations on random hotel sites


this are the few reasons visa is denied

you make your travel agent understand this facts

Schengen Travel Insurance

While gathering documents for your Schengen visa application in Nigeria, you discover that the Schengen travel Insurance certificate is one of the documents that you must submit at the embassy. You make arrangements for a travel insurance certificate and, hopefully, you get one. But how much do you know about Schengen Travel Insurance?

It is a popular knowledge that Schengen Travel Insurance certificate is a requirement when applying for visas at Schengen embassies in Nigeria. You must present an original copy of the certificate for verification.

This insurance policy is expected to cater for the costs that accrue from accidents or emergencies when traveling. It cushions the effects of travel mishaps. But besides these basic nuggets of information, there is more to Schengen Travel Insurance for Schengen visa. Unfortunately, you may be ignorant about these vital details – and you could ruin your chances of getting your Schengen visa because of it.

More Details About the Schengen Travel Insurance
You must get a Schengen travel insurance cover when applying for a visa to any of the following 26 Schengen countries:

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland

You may compare Schengen travel Insurance to the vehicle insurance. Just as you cannot drive your car if you don’t have a valid motor insurance, you cannot travel to a Schengen state if you don’t have a medical insurance cover.

Now, this does not refer to your personal, local health insurance. As most will not be applicable to your journey overseas. After you may have secured your visa (multiple entry visa), you must always get a new Schengen travel insurance when traveling.

A standard Schengen travel insurance policy must be capable of covering fees for illnesses, medical care, likely repatriation or accidents to the tune of 30,000 Euro. Also, it should be valid all through the duration of your trip.

Again, you will be denied your Schengen visa without a credible insurance cover. An added advantage to getting a Schengen travel insurance for your trip is that you get to enjoy the numerous benefits of getting a travel health insurance package.

Why You Need Schengen Travel Insurance

The foremost importance of Schengen travel insurance to you, a Schengen visa applicant, is that it qualifies you for Schengen visa. Other benefits of the travel insurance policy are discussed below:

Free Emergency Medical Treatment


Putting your Schengen travel insurance in place will give you the opportunity to receive standard medical treatment when you fall sick abroad, without drilling a hole in your pockets.

All costs (or a substantial part of the cost) for medical treatment in the case of an injury sustained in an accident will be covered by your Schengen travel insurance as well. In most cases, these costs run into a huge amount of money.

Free Emergency Medical Repatriation

Schengen travel insurance policy takes care of the cost of transporting you to the nearest medical centre when you fall sick or become injured. This policy could also help cover the cost of transporting you back to Nigeria, while you are recuperating from your illness.

Covers Cost of Trip Interruption


It is common for travelers to suspend their vacation and return home earlier than they have planned. While there are several reasons why they do so, changes in travel plans usually attract additional fees for flight day-change and other necessities. Whenever you find the need to shorten your travel period, your Schengen travel insurance may absorb additional costs that come with emergency trip interruption.

Covers Cost of Returning Mortal Remains


Death is one of the characteristics of a living thing, which man is. In an instance where a traveler falls ill and dies, Schengen travel insurance could cover the cost of returning the remains to Nigeria.

Regularly, the cost of returning a corpse back to its family at home is expensive. And a good policy in place could lessen the monetary effects of this on the family members of the deceased
