Thank you. I hope if I should have up to 4million in the account they should grant me if re apply because I will still try my chance the second time

Just have more than this... to be on a safer end ..
I’d prefer the 6m as suggested earlier.

Please how did you do a flight reservation that’s acceptable for France visa.

Hello naira...please i need info.about france holiday visa

My business visa to the Netherlands was approved and issued by the French embassy.
My question is do I have to get to France first before going to Holland or can I fly directly to Amsterdam? I do not have full knowledge of the shengen visa rules.

Anyone, please help?

fly to Schipol direct. you can use klm for direct flight

omotolanibaby:

The visa of all the 26 countries in the schengen zone allows you to visit other countries in the zone but you need to apply to a country to get a so-called "schengen visa"

If you have a French Visa and want to visit Netherlands first, that is not advised. Visit France , get your passport stamped then move to Netherlands.

You might be allowed to enter or you might not be allowed to enter... but why take the risk?

France Embassy is the issuing authority for Netherlands Schengen Visa in Nigeria. So with Your France Schengen Visa, you can enter the Netherlands as your first port of entry.

I know this because i used my France Issued Schengen visa for a trip to the Netherlands.

Thanks all for the comments.

I called the Netherlands embassy and was advised to fly directly to Amsterdam but I must have my supporting documents as proof.

Thanks once again y'all

...anyone have issues booking appointments?...no seats available any I check...(lagos and abuja)....is there a way out? Or am doing something wrong

No more appointment go there and submit your package don't waste ur time

Hello,

I submitted my application for short stay visa to the Netherlands via VFS Lagos on the 2nd of September, 2019 and I have yet to receive a feedback from the embassy.

I wrote an email to VFS and France embassy yesterday but only VFS replied saying my application is still being processed.

Should I be worried about this delay? the travel date on my application is 8th of November.

my France people... it has been 2years now, i feel i should share my experience, well 2years ago i was here, got admitted to france to study theoretical physics Msc. at Universite de Cergy Pontoise 20km away from central paris, i dont know if i made a mistake going to france or i should have stayed in Nigeria, when i traveled to france september 17th 2017, without little or no help. I traveled with just 750 euros, this was money i had saved up from working, because i had no one to help me. When i got to france, i went straight to my university where i paid the inscription fee of 246 euros and also registered for french class for 210 euros, the money left with me was about 480euros, i had no place to stay because i was too late to get the CROUS, i started asking myself some question on how to survive in this harsh environment i cant speak the language, so i had to stay with a course mate for somedays, i was attending lectures and thinking of what next at the same time, my brain was unstable. I finally met a Nigerian who said i can share his place but i have to pay half the rent, i told him i have just 480 with me, i will pay you 400 for 2 month and if i get a job before then i will move, by december when it was very cold, i didnt getr a job and i couldnt pay the house rent, the Nigeria guy drove me out and i almost felt like giving up plus i was till going to school in all those harsh condition, then a close friend of mine yannick who happens to be french told me he was going to talk to his mom for me since i have helped him in programming exam and he scored 16/20. So his mum accepted me and i stayed with them throughout december then i got a night job in January, so i pleaded with my friend parent that they should give me just january to move out, Note i was working all night and still go to school, Feburary 2018 i left to my own rented appartment, now life was getting better but at the stake of my education, i was able to pull through the first year having a overall grade for M1 at 11.8/20 i felt bad knowing my result in Nigeria was a way better graduating with 4.43 CGPA. Because of my love for school i decided not to give up and registered for M2, most of my professor didnt like me though because they knew i was working overnight and i was still passing their exams despite not been stable, in france the hardest master is theoretical physics trust me. M2 started and i knew this was last chance of improving my grade so i could get a phD since that was my goal before i traveled abroad, M2 was still indifferent from M1 hate from professor plus i still had to work all night to pay my bills, my house rent was 300euros per month and i still support my family in Nigeria with any amount i have. after the first session of M2 i had 11.3/20, i was not too happy because my best friend in class got 14/20, although he got a phd now in lyon, so i went insearch of internship known as stage for my masters thesis, i got a good place at ESPCI CNRS paris, so i was going to my stage and still working at night. I finished my stage this month september 2019 and also defended my Master thesis on 6th of this month. at the end of the day i graduated with an aggregated of 12.5/20. I couldnt get a Phd cause most Phd proposal are taken since i finish late, presently now, i am seraching for a phd and also thinking of coming back home since i am just 26yrs old, i have option of changing my status and be working during the night but this is not a job one can di forever, i am grateful to everyone here and if you stay in paris and you need my help, i am always opening..... bonne journee

Joohan:

No, the only scholarship available is Eiffel Scholarship which i doubt they give to black Africans except Asians.... France Fee have changed i guess so... it used to be just 246€ for Msc but now it almost 4000€ but not all university charge the new price

hammed71:

Working towards getting a working permit, I am avoiding the APS student card (non renewable 1 years carte de Sejour) ��, i like france though but if you dont speak the language you are equal as dead.
