It's way better than been refused the visa. That seems to be the case lately. Show upon return slips



It has been there since even 2018. We got it on ours, I did a multicity travel with my family that year; LOS-CDG-FRA-CDG-MAN-LHR-JFK-YYZ-LOS (between 1 and 3 nights in all these cities except for New York were we did most of the time) and it was over a month past the date of the appointment before we came back. I did write them, and they acknowledged same. Somehow didn't bother to show up as the letter I wrote them, that particular travel history on our passports and boarding passes will help in future on why we couldn't turn up. My wife was able to get another visa from them just last summer despite my fears.

I encourage no one to try such, I don't know what magic worked for us, not a good position to find one's self, quite draining when you put in another application and there seems to be a delay. By all means turn up at VFS after your trip.

Morning guys.

We thank God for Journey mercies.

We all came back sick, may be because of the cold, cos most of the Parisians were coughing at public places and we probably contracted from them.

It was a mixed experience sha.

Thanks everyone on Nairaland n happy new year to you all. I’m a silent reader here but I’m very moved to post for the first time.

I’m based in Johannesburg n been to Paris twice n got my third visa and at the same time helped over 8 guys get both France and Netherlands visa. In October I sent copies of all my visas and bank statements for my ‘then fiancée’ who’s based In Nigeria in order for her to apply for hers so we could go for honeymoon this January.

First Application we submitted:
Visa form
Passport photo
Employment and leave approval letter
Three months bank statement
Travel insurance
No objection letter from her parent
My bank statements
Copy of all my visas and datapage
Wedding IV card
Hotel and flight reservation.

Submitted 20th October n it got rejected on the 29th on basis that ‘justification for the reason of travel not reliable’. ‘ Now we are married on 19th December’

We then reapplied on the 20th December with;
Visa form
Photograph
Travel insurance
Flight reservation
Hotel
Employment n leave letter
6 months bank statement
Registry marriage certificate
5 pictures taken at the registry
My visa copies
Bank statement
NOC from her parents
Tour packages
Cover letter and a sponsorship letter from me.

And yesterday 3rd, we went to go collect her passport from Vfs Lagos and boom she got her One Month multiple entry new visa. I’m elated n haven’t gotten over it yet.

For anyone out there who was denied before, don’t relent. Add more docs and you’re good to go.

Hello I applied for a student long stay visa in August, and got denied on the basis of insufficient fund reasons, though the account used then was 2 million balance ... So I reapplied in December with the account of my sponsor with 7million naira balance, I got my passport back yesterday only to be denied again for insufficient fund reasons... Please can I appeal and what's the hope of the appeal...

It's not a stupid question. However, you have to submit in lagos. Benin doesn't fall into the Abuja jurisdiction.

quote author=Tojued post=74757499]Good afternoon all.

Please I'm sorry if i'm asking a stupid question but don't know where to start search from.

I live in Benin City, can i apply for French visa at VFS Abuja?

Thanks in advance[/quote]
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Beverlyhills: 11:13am On Jan 07, 2020
Sorry for that refusal but the funds in the account were they regular transactions or transactions meant to boost the account? Note denied on the grounds of insufficient funds you have to prove a coherent inflow and outflow on the account used. Appealing is a waste of time. I would advice you reapply with a more coherent account statement and better with a different sponsor.

My travel experience is Dubia for 3 months visa and I spent 2 months and 2 weeks , I went for a short course. In 2018

After coming back from the course I register my own company with CAC February 2019 and I got a landed property for my business, I invested in my company. The sales is not that much but during the festive season I made a lot of money and kept 400k which is my gain in treasury bill for 3 month my capital as been pump back into my business and left my bank closing balance at 40k I don’t know if I can apply for the visa now because I plan to travel for May this year.

I don’t want to use any agent and I want my application truthful I would be glad if you can help me with the required documentation and visa fee.

Please any advise would be welcome.

Thank
