Just picked my Passport with visa

Yes oo but i got message yesterday it has be dispatch to VFS i should get it today via UPS

fredamare:
Is your application over 15 days, and have they replied you?

Yep

Landnaira5:
They don’t. I believe even students get one year max, and then they get a resident card thereafter.

LOL i wonder when i first saw the message lol cause i remember when i was first given it was 1 month VISA and i never heard italy give out straight 2 years on new application so am still expecting his response

Landnaira5:
They’ve printed fake visa for this one. 2 years tourist visa? Leemao.

Lloydzahir09:
How I spent over 2.6 million on a car that gets me sad, embarrassed and frustrated. Now I am getting depressed…

Last year 22 June is one day I can't easily forget. I just got myself a Toyota Camry 2007 for my 25th Birthday. I bought the car for 1.8m from a very good friend of mine (8 years together). He buys and sells used and foreign (tokunbo) cars although not a certified dealer. He drove the car down to my loc and I accessed the car I was shocked as it was far from what I expected. On inspecting the car, I was not so impressed, despite having a california plate number like heck this shit supposed be better than i anticipated. The sound of the car was too noisy, the vibrations from the dashboard, the windscreen cracked (about 28inches), the interior a bit neat but the sound system to the gear lever area was not so neat. I began to doubt the prize of the car but we already negotiated at 1.8m. I asked if this car is okay, he affirmed that it is and can't sell a problem to his brother.

I drove the car out to look for a car diagnosing company but it was a rainy day had to come back not being able to get a car company to check the car. The car consumes fuel a little bit more than conventional 4 plugs and it raised further doubt about the roadworthiness of the car but what do I know car was moving although skips when entering gear 3. I didn't know much about all this as overtime I didn't put the discipline of owning a car with this being my second car am so ashamed. Went back home I asked my friend what's wrong with the car he affirmed again that nothing is wrong. A month later I started noticing oil stain where I park. I bent over and saw oil dripping my heart almost skipped while this is a small issue (I knew this later) I trembled…this car is just a month old. I spent 31k fixing this shit cos I was too busy to inspect the repairs. A week later the same issue occurred. This was getting too much.

This got me sad and mad and I was already regretting the choice of getting a car. I later opted for a car company (My worst mistake). Oil seal was fixed 4 times in 7 months oil keeps dripping from the engine. Between this period the car abruptly stops on the road and sometimes won't even start after parking. I suffered all this with a faulty steering pump which causes the steering to be stiff. Some car companies aren't trustworthy and won't likely be the solution to your car problems...but they got my car moving each time it breaks down and I paid the exorbitant cost for minor repairs for fear of this roadside mechanics. The drill continued and I kept repairing and kept paying. The worst happened in March this year when I had a hit with a reckless driver. The bonnet bent a little and bumper beyond repair. I painted the car after 11 days. I told a panel beater working with the painter to bring the car home for me on reaching close the car stopped. Suffered to get it home as the car keeps draining charged batteries.

The next day I called the car company to come take the car for checks and possible repair. The next day I was told the engine has to be ringed that it's not the alternator. Bill of 169k for everything. I opted for a new engine (2AZ and was billed 300k for everything by the same company). I also bought shaft for both legs (55k). The former engine I was told is now scrapped and would be sold for a small amount (I left it for them). The car was with them for about 7 weeks as I wasn't around. When the car was out, AC no longer working. I called and was told the compressor is bad and needs to be changed. Why me! Bill 148k Like my God what have I done...? I spent 96k to fix AC (I had to call someone else from the neighboring state). I discovered that the AC had been fixed before and resulted to change most of the AC components. had to rethink this whole spending, right now my windscreen is bad can't see well when it's raining, my headlamp bad not bright, my exhaust very noisy unwanted sound from the manifold and consumes fuel, the legs need to be checked again (camber bushing or what do they call it) and interior needs fixing. Other issues although not certain is the suspension.
After penning my frustration in this piece Nairaland kept banning me from uploading…I gave up trying. The worst right now my gear doesn't select after a journey of 112km to and fro where I base. I need to share this experience so people can learn from this.
The estimate for expenses carried out so far on repairs so far should be over 850k in one year (major repairs: New Engine + Shaft 355k, AC 96k, Legs [fixed twice] 64K {break pads, hub, tie rod, bushing etc}) (minor repairs: oil seal repair 4 times around 80k (new oil every time to put a new oil seal), Nozzle + Plugs + Fan + Key starter 44k, Exhaust (net) 10.4k. Others: painting 60k and panel beating 15k. Bought tires several times as they keep peeling off from bad alignment although Belgium tires. There are others I can't remember right now. All this excluding fuel. I honestly can't continue like this.

Am sad

wow a lady thief na wa oo

davodyguy:
No society is free from crimes and criminals, and it's also not possible for the system to apprehend them all.

I was almost robbed today at the Subway at Gare Du Nord in Paris.

Due to the protests today, most of the buses didn't operate fully and we were forced to use Subway enroute to Louvre via Chǎtelet

At M4 platform as we were about entering the train, I just saw a white fist reaching for my pocket in an attempt to pull out my purse and phone. My Naija sense at play, I caught the lady and hit her fist off.

A lot of people in the train then said that's how they do in Paris, stealing purses and phones.

I had ₦20,000
$78
€700 in the purse.

That would have been disastrous in this Buhariconomics.

Anyone coming to France now should watch it and wait till after the strike

i heard it can be used for it .

please do u just get your Schengen visa tru Italy and when do u apply when do u get your passport back?

josephb:
Hi,
I would like to ask, can a single entry Schengen visa be used to apply for a Turkish Evisa?

Has anyone done this before?

anyone apply recently it over 15 days no response

continue the enjoyment bro i really wish i can see how the cold is doing this period over there

davodyguy:
Before nko?

We are strangers here, so expect those minor hiccups. Moreso, many people don't speak English here. I studied French for about 3 months in 2009, that helped me with some pronunciation. Once you say hello, next is la comprehend Francais' non anglais.

Luckily I bought this Tep Europe sim card. I kept getting in touch with our host. The guy was very helpful and kept sending travel guide

Guy, the cold here is something else.

Istanbul was child's play.

My wife told me a puff of "cloud smoke" billows out of my mouth, then I knew something's changing in my system.

I hail una oo

lol invite me from naija i will come

Hi guys, I should have done this much earlier. I'm in paris just stalked in my hostel apartment. Any one free around louis blanc. Just to hang out with

how easy to get resident permit in France

omoalison:
Greetings all.

Just to let you guys know that my mum just got her France visa. 6 months multiple entry, even though I applied for single entry, 6 weeks.
She submitted last monday and received it this monday. One week!!!
Purpose was to visit me as I will be delivering by month end.
But I didn't use delivery as principal reason, I used visit me and also take advantage of the visit to see her grandchild.

I included :
Mum utility bill

An attestation d'accueil from the mairie.
Invitation letter
My stay permit (which was valid till april next year) + my Nigerian passport
My pay slips
bank statement
light bill
Photo with my mum to show ties
Letter from my sisters children's school to say my mum is the primary care taker of my nieces/nephews
Letter from the gynecologist saying I live alone and so I'm lonely and desire family around me for child birth (but I read many comments online concerning both US, UK visa applicants that embassy doesnt respect that reason, so I just included it at the end of my letter. I instead stressed on visit and holiday for my mum etc).

BUT I also had my fiancé (foreigner) do the same thing too.
Letter to say he supports my mum to come and her coming will encourage me since he lives in a different city.
Pay slip
salary.

I hope this helps.
NB: My younger sister was refused visa for school two months ago despite paying fees etc. and having a complete file.
The reason they gave was incomplete/unreliable documents.

Thanks for answering my questions.
Merry Christmas in advance to all.
