You need to insist on seeing the refusal letter .
I hate to be a bearer of bad news. Even if he re applies and you get a visa.
If you want to go to the UK , Canada , US or Japan , ( I don't know abt other countries ) you will always need to declare all visa refusals and the reason .
He should willingly send you an image of the refusal letter , it doesn't cost him anything unless he has something to hide .







Good evening boss how is work pls I will love the hear back from you pls because this man wants to reapply and he said by God grace we will get it this time but someone told they are not giving Spain visa now in Lagos but the man did all the documents in Cotonou please guide me boss

I don't think it's true .it's same appointment page calendar both first timers and frequent timers have access to, to the best of my knowledge for VFs for France. I don't know about Italy .

sanyalai:
Good day house.

I made enquiry from a travel consultant for France or Italy tourist visa. Response given was being a first time traveler to any of these countries, "there is actually no appointment for first time traveler at the moment". This response was as of 20th August.

How true is this?

Its possible ..I submitted on the 9th and it was issued on the 11th but didn't get the ups notification mail till 14th( 12th &13th) were sat & sun

What was the reason for your refusal .
Yes you can apply immediately but you need to address the reason for your refusal first
That's the only way it will be issued .
What didn't you do then that you plan to do this second time

Wonuola111:


Hello boss good evening how is work tnx for the other day they refused my visa and the agent said we need to reapply immediately boss please I want to know if it’s possible to reapply for the next available appointment date

filled that I wanted to travel on the 15th September but ii noticed it started reading from the 11th of August . Earlier than the date I specified.
The dates you will be issued will cover the period of your travel . Could be a few days / weeks before and after



quote author=itunuoye post=125188916]Hi Puffmama, How are you doing? Please I want to ask one important question. I intend to submit Schengen application for my family but my question is let assume they intend to travel on September 20, and once the visa granted, will the visa show that they must travel on before September 20 or there is a duration that the visa will state when it will start counting. Or is there anything like if stated 20days visa given will it expired in 20days time. I really need answer to this.

Thanks

.

Opeyemi007:
If it's issued, it depends on your travel dates. If you stated 20th on September on your application, it would become valid from that date for another 28/30days. The duration of stay is the max number of days you can stay within the validity. It will be stated on the Passport

I think you mean acknowledgement mail for the receipt of your application .
You will get your receipt and your biometrics collection mail soon. But have you signed into your profile to see if you have any messages you missed

I don't think so but ensure you declare all refusals.

Yes as they will state the reason for the refusal, it may not be in the inbox, the person should check spam and promotion as well

I think 3.5M is too low for proof of funds, considering ticket to Canada now can be as high as 2M+ and you are not expected to use all your savings for a vacation .
So maybe like 7M and above

Please, what are the documents needed for a conference visa? An agent said one needs N3.5m.

I think uploading your bank statement even if you have a sponsor has to do with your age , though I don't have any info to back this .
It can fly for someone in his / her 20s but if you are 30 and above, you are expected to be working or in business and earning , your balance may not influence their decision but it shows a form of ties. You have a job and you are earning and it further supports the letter of introduction or any other employment related doc you plan to upload .
But wait for the experts to respond

Since you have a sponsor I don't think you really need to put yours because I didn't put mine only my sponsor own was there and it was approved

It was my 3rd application and I filled that I wanted a single entry to spend 10 days to visit France and 2 other countries. I provided hotel and flight reservations for the 3 locations .

However, there was a question that had to do with if I had plans to visit France next year and I said yes , so maybe that's why I really don't know .

Travel / Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by puffmama: 8:03pm On Aug 16, 2023
If it's for redo of biometrics you need to pay again because that's their service charge

I am not sure if visa fees unless you choose to cancel and reapply then you need to pay .

Regarding your status .You really can't tell how long it will take your visa application to be processed from the tracker . They process based on individual circumstances and I THINK they give some consideration to frequent travellers with valid visas .

The tracker will show you when it gets to the embassy , when it is being processed, when it gets back to vfs office and when it's been sent to the courier company .
Then the ups tracker shows when it's being processed and in transit before it's delivered .
You won't know if it was granted or refused till you get your passport
seankafor:
thanks..

From this point, how long does it take for me to receive my passport and know my visa status?

And Is it normal to pay another visa fee when you re been called to correct a mistake in your form? And redo biometrics

This is what people do in circumstances like this .

They get a return ticket to show the period they specified in their form ..when they are allowed entry , they will then change the return date could be a day or two after. If it's same class of ticket , it will just be date change fee but if it's a different class , ( even though it's same economy ) the person will now pay the fare difference . If you booked the ticket click on manage my booking , enter your reference number and last name , effect the changes and pay ..if you used an agent , he can also get it done from naija

Thank you so much, No it's a tourist visa .
I was suprised myself because my two previous schghen visas were 21 days and 30 days .

I don't know if it's because I have a new UK visa that will expire in 2033 and a US Visa that will expire 2024.

Then for my daughter it was her first schghen and she has a 2 yrs UK visa and was also given same 1 year .
