Though I applied for multiple but only indicated Paris as the tourist city in the schengen territories.

No London

NothingDoMe:

@pufframmy

This your gcms result is family ties and poorly documents are u married? Do you know anybody in Canada that can send u invitation? What site did you order your gcms ...this Vo write nonsense when they are not ready to grants visa

my gcms finally came out after 75days of request

is it renewal or first time applying

please what is processing time now for italy visa maximum days for collection
someone with recent collection should kindly reply my appointment still next week thanks

Grandeur007:
Got for me and my family in 4 days

all the ones i always book is pay later or pay at hotel that how i use to book

davodyguy:
If you use the filter as I posited above, you can always find a couple of hotels or apartments that are free of charge even on Airbnb.

Before settling for one hotel in Istanbul a couple of days ago, I reserved 4 different hotels with Pay later option. I only cancelled more than 2 weeks after our choices have been made

See below quote. The hotel practically 'begged' that I cancel 1 out of two



see the terms below


Today being 2/12/2019, I could have waited till 13th December and still cancel for free and no prepayment made or card charged
Same for Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam hotel reservations

that what always do but now i think they want to charge the credit card o

davodyguy:
Not true

There are over 100 filters on Booking.com and Hotel.com

Just select Hotel with free cancellation.

this what have been using before with no problem am just surprise for this new development oo
have use it before for many booking in pass nothing like such

thanks for the response

OmoBendel24:
Mostly a night's money has to be withheld, whether you pick the no prepayment option or not, noticed this with the UK and France hotels already in the past few weeks.

please as anyone notice booking of hotel and pay at the later get cancel after booking confirmation
what going on it not like this before someone can book with a confirm card even if the money on it not upto the booking cost
but now not like that i get cancel after 4 hours saying funds cant be process from the card cause there not enough money on it,
are they charging for the booking now please anyone gone through this lately

still waiting too 78 days now

Frankrobbn1:
It's no longer a news that GCMS note now takes 90days to be delivered. This is as a result of the huge request/demand been placed for it by prospective applicants.

Applicants that can't wait for their notes to arrive in three (3) months time, can work with the generic reasons that were highlighted on the refusal letter and demonstrate how their current situation has substantively changed.

It will end in praises.

God bless you have a safe trip

Mrhonesty:
Your chances are very high. I submited 7th, was alerted 18th, picked up a month visa yesterday 21st. No previous travel record- virgin passport. Thank you Jesus.

ANy one submit Italy Visa Recently are they still using the appointment. or we can walkin and submit

Cool

davodyguy:
I was wondering when you said can you go to Europe before going to Turkey?
Turkey is in Europe like England, Germany Netherlands etc

You can visit any other country in the world and can even decide not to sleep in Turkey throughout your travel period. But, you must have a valid Schengen or US , Canada or UK visa in order for you to apply.

I applied with my family last week Thursday and we were issued E visa within 20 mins respectively. $40 per person. 3 of us applied

LOL i know of this bro came back from Italy doing Easter time bro

davodyguy:
Europe is not a place or a country. It's a continent like Africa. Just as in African continent you have countries like Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa etc in Europe you have France, Germany, Malta, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia. So, Turkey is a country in Europe

What if someone plan going to Europe First and on coming back he Branch turkey for days before coming to lagos can it be done so

davodyguy:
1. Just as Emirates Airline does when you're applying for 48 hours and 96 hours visa, compelling you to present evidence of ticket purchase, Turkish Airline does same thing. Confirmed Turkish Airline ticket is required.

2. E visa means electronic visa. visa sent by (Email) Electronic Mail, to be presented at the POE, where your passport is then stamped for entry

how did u go about study visa in france what is the documents submitted and the school fees please help with this info

Czorx:

iyaaliyah:
Good morning. Pls,Who has flown air Italy to Milan from Lagos? Must we pay for seat or not compulsory. Is it a good airline? Thanks.

Hello.

And did you get the visa.

I submitted mine on Tuesday and just yesterday they said my passport is ready for collection. Tho I walked in as a frequent traveler but I am worried that it is taking just 4days. And I am afraid make them no deny me. Pls I will appreciate if you answer my questions to allay my fears. Thanks
