TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by umeme: 6:20pm On Jun 27, 2023
Thanks, i applied on a monday then got the paasport delivered to my hotel on wenesday same wk. I sent webform to ircc they issued another ppr in 2 working days. I hopw others will benefit from my experience

Zirconia16:
As a Nigerian you can apply for a Nigerian passport from any Nigerian embassy in the world but the question is as you're leaving next month will the passport be ready by then. And if it is ready will you be able to get the passport stamped before you leave?

Also passport renewals with validity more than 6 months is usually more difficult outside Nigeria of not outright impossible.

Your best bet is to send in your current passport for stamping wherever you are in Europe.

Thanks for your reply, i have contacted Nigerian Embaasy here. I can get my passport in 2 wks. For the embassy to stamp me befire 1 month, i can extend my ticket as i have a longer visa validity.
But my question is this, since i did not renew and send webform to them b4 my ppr. How would i let them know or just renew and send them my new passport?

Gd day house, please how much is canadian visa and Biometrics fee, and can i pay with my access bank naira card?
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by umeme: 10:18am On Feb 04, 2022
Thanks i appreciate
Beverlyhills:
@umeme for the france visa, you can write a detailed letter explaining the over sight with regards to the letter attached to the visa. Give references to your Exit stamps to the first france Visa issued. In the end, tender an apology for this oversight.

Include the new Schengen visas you received after France and indicate you came back as well in a timely manner also your Passport Data Page.

Do this before you apply again.

Email: consulfrance.lagos-fslt@diplomatie.gouv.fr and adfr.lagos-cslt@diplomatie.gouv.fr.

Good luck.

Please the letter on the visa yiu said yiu did not return when you came back, which embassy issued the visa?
I have a similar problem, i travelled to france in 2018 came back and noticed after 7 months that i need to return to vfs which i did immediately. In 2019 i travelled to spain then in 2020 i applied to france and got denied then i applied to italy immediately and got approved. Now i applied agin with france and got denied again. Am confused, please house what will i do?
pufframmy:
VISA ALERT

I was not putting much believe in this i only knew it either way, cause have been denied twice from Italy Embassy and ones from Spain This is After months Getting back from Rome 2019.

i was surprise when i got denied second time from Italy basically i thought of one mistake which was from me ( There was always a letter attached to Visa saying report back to the embassy for personal presentation Which i ignore after coming back from Italy and i didnt over stay) Maybe that was why i have been getting this denied Cant Say just my absorption

my wife have no travel history , mine was china visas quote author=OmoBendel24 post=73581273]

Good point! Understood....

But what visa was on the old passport? It is of no importance to them without a valid or used visa of some A-rated countries like the US, Canada, UK, one of theirs (Schengen), etc.[/quote]

yusfaith78:
You should attach your previous passport to the new one and submit it together because your new passport will show that you had a passport before and if you dont include it, you are giving them reasons to start thinking probably you have a cancelled visa or something on the previous passport. As for the unused visa, you just need to write a statement stating why you weren’t able to use the visa, there are so many reason why one might not his or her visa. If you reason is genuine, it doesn’t stop dem from issuing another one as your documents is well packaged.
my wife renewed her passport but when we applied I did not attached the old passport but we was granted the visa. even my old passport was not attached .my wife renewed hers this year
