Hello Nairalanders,

Thanks to all those that contribute to this platform weather or not they were granted Visa. Your impute is greatly appreciated.
Although I didnt ask questions, just reading personal testimonies and guidelines from many of you gave me all the information I needed. Now let me share mine.

Firstly, my Schengen Visa through france only took 5days. My appointment was 23rd January 2019, I got notification that my application has been transferred to Visa office on 24th Jan, on the 31st Feburary I got a mail to come pick up my passport. Getting the mail to come pick up my passport made me kinda worried, cos decision process was so short. But I refused to be worried. I went to the VFS office today 1st Feb, to pick up my passport and Lo my passport was stamped with 30days short stay visa.

I intend going to Paris and Venice a total of 7days with my boyfriend, sisters and their husbands. I explained this in my cover letter and also mentioned I will be travelling to Paris from London. These are the documents I submitted:

Cover Letter
Already paid Uk flight return ticket
Already paid France flight return ticket
Intl passport
Travel insurance: I used "insure and Go" its a uk based insurance company, my boyfriend did that for me.
France and Venice Hotel booking: from booking.com, I didnt pay, I just uploaded my credit card details
6months Payslips from my office: I earn 130k a month
Proof of Pension
Contract letter from my office
Promotion letter from my office
Leave approval
3months bank statement from sponsor
Sponsor payslips
Letter of introduction/sponsorship from sponsor
ID of sponsor
My own work ID
I did not submit my own bank statement I wont be sponsoring the trip.

I took all these alongside my application form on wednesday last week and thursday this week my visa was approved.

I hope this helps someone
Congratulations. Seems both short & long stay take same 5days. I got my long stay study visa in 5days too although I applied from SA.

Been In Paris for just a week & it has been a refreshing city. Would as well be visiting the UK later in the year during my week study break.

Enjoy!

Please lets leave all conversation open and transparent here.

You can apply but if i were you i will stick to one country for now. Make hotel reservation, add your salary account, employment letter and list of places you tend to visit in the country. You also need to draw out your budget, basically explaining how much the trip will cost you, don't budget more than 2months of your salary.
Please Justwise and other Nairalanders, I have a very disturbing question to ask you; I have been working with a federal establishment since 2011, although I got in with my SSCE ( WEAC) after which I further my education, I also just recently graduated with a BSc degree. Please I want to apply for a master's programme in France; should I use my payslip and bank statement or my Father's to apply for student visa in case I'm given admission... Knowing that my take home is about #30,000 and my Father's #145,000, should I use only my dad's payslip and bank statement since he will be sponsoring me or I should include mine to serve as my home tie to Nigeria? Please Justwise, tzetzefly and other Nairalanders I need your response.

I have a balance of 500k and my dad 6.2m totalling 6.7m

First of, I will like to commend the saving habit of you and your dad. It’s very impressive if really what you stated is what you guys(sorry for includin ur dad in the term) earn. I know a lot of people that earn more but don’t have that savings and keep complaining daily about how Nigeria is this and that. You are obviously learning something great from your dad.

For the schooling, anyone can sponsor a student. In this case your dad is in perfect position as everything put together shows he will be able to sponsor you. You should add your own statement, trust me, beyond money, a lot of things are also considered when granting one visa. So both statement should be used. Your dad as sponsor and obviously what you have as supporting yourself too.

Finally, I want you to consider the cost of the Skool you intend to apply and personally evaluate your fathers balance and yours put together. Ie, what will be left, after taking your own Skool part, possibilities of saving as well as paying fees too. This help you to analyze your travel plans before even applying for visa.

Wish you well and hope you get the visa. Have visited France and would tell you it’s a nice country. Just try n learn the French faster and life will be smooth for you over there. Good luck.
