Yes but its been more than 30 working days for applicants here.

No it 21 days today ! You don't count weekend when counting visa submission date

Embassies and consulates in Nigeria often take advantage of Nigerians because they know there is little government oversight to hold them accountable. They are aware that when you request your passport, it is interpreted as canceling your visa application, meaning no refund will be issued. This is part of a broader problem of scams involving embassies and consulates in Nigeria. Even when you request the return of your passport, it can take many working days, and getting a response to emails is another challenge. Unfortunately, the government is largely ineffective in protecting citizens, leaving people with nowhere to report such issues.

Lagos but I got this update now via TLS

I submitted September 23th frequent traveler both for my self and my wife till date 28th October our passport still showing processing at the France embassy it really funny honestly our travel date has passed Oct 12 this my first experience with French visa I have been. Using Italian visa in the past

I’m a frequent traveler, but this is my first time applying for a French visa.

My application was submitted on September 23.

I’ve previously held five Schengen visas issued by Italy a mix of tourist and business visas , including both multiple-entry and single-entry types.

As of now, the application is still being processed, and my passport remains with the French Consulate in Lagos.

This info below is not correct ! Am writing with own personal experience my self and my wife fly from Madrid Spain airport to Mexico with our Italy visa we spent 2 weeks in Mexico just make sure you have confirmed hotel bookings not not paid but confirmed your booking is valid with the hotel and it pay on arrival and make sure you have at least 1k USD with you are the time you landing Mexico airport


Correction-: You cannot use France visa to travel to Mexico. You need to apply for Mexico separately[/quote]

you are first timer ?or frequent traveler ?

@Judawoo

You’re absolutely right. I’ve had 6 previous Schengen visas from Italy, both business and tourist, but the longest they ever issued me was just a 2-month multiple-entry visa.

They even rescheduled my appointment from September to November, and I had no plans to travel in November. That’s why I decided to apply through France instead. My new appointment with France TLS is on September 23rd, and in both my application form and cover letter I clearly requested a long-term Schengen visa from France.

So when Italy moved my appointment from September to November—when I had no travel plans—I chose to apply via France, where I was able to get an earlier date for September 23rd. Besides, the Italian consulate has never given me a long visa anyway, so I’d rather not wait until November 3rd just to risk the same outcome of sort team visa always issue by italy again.

Same thing with Abuja. No appointment for Italy visa application for 2025 this year. I had already booked 2 months ago, with my appointment date on this past Sept 1st.

This information was originally from the Italy Embassy, not just from TLS. As a frequent traveller, I was surprised to receive a call from the Italy Consulate and was given options to pick a date between Nov 3 or Nov 7. I then asked why, and I was told there were some issues and that they were fully booked for the year 2025. They said they only gave me this privilege because I am a frequent traveller. I then asked if I could change my appointment location to Abuja, and I was told that even in Abuja there are no appointments for this year.

No appointment for Italy visa application in lagos for 2025 this year

No i did not send an email at all mean while my was business visa so they might handle business visa fast

This is not my first time applying. I have previously held four Schengen visas and many other visas from countries such as Turkey, Russia, and others.

In my opinion, POF (Proof of Funds) is not the same as regular deposits or withdrawals in a bank statement.

POF is specifically meant to prove that you have a certain blocked amount of money to show you can financially support yourself, for example, in the case of a student visa.

"Please understand that proof of funds is not the same as a bank statement with regular inflows."

It was a business visa

Yes i received my passport with visa granted on Monday 17 - 02 -2025

I submitted my application on January 16th

"Yes, I understand you. Let's just keep our fingers crossed. I'm just cautious about people who are not traveling as tourists but for business. In fact, I have a business proposal that I am supposed to present at the event, and I even submitted a copy to the Italy consulate. What if the event date passes and my passport hasn't been returned? My travel date is the 3rd of March, and the event is from March 5-7."

I submitted my application on January 16th, and today marks 22 working days. I applied as a frequent business traveler, having had 4 previous Schengen visas, 2 previous Turkish visas, and I even submitted my Turkish residence permit along with 2 previous Russian visas.

I am supposed to attend a business event from March 5th to 7th. I submitted an official business invitation letter, along with the company registration details from the Italian company hosting the event. I also included a copy of the Italian international passport of the company's CEO. These documents were all part of my submission, yet I have not received any response.

This is the longest I have ever waited for a visa from the Italian consulate.

What is needed to be fixed in this bus ? please say the true

MrNovo:
If its a renewal (you have done biometrics before) you don't need to repeat biometrics.
If its your first time when applying you fill your address overseas the possap portal will guide you on how to do biometrics from your location. You don't need returning to Nigeria.

thanks very much i really appreciate

Please brothers an sister kindly advise please

please how do we in diaspora do biometrics for PCC biometrics ?

Is possible apply for PCC online as we are currently not in nigeria ? or we have to come down to nigeria in person ?
