I think my next visa would be a longer term one. I think it remains at the discretion of the embassy to grant it or not. I applied for multiple entry and said I would be visiting France later in the year but I was granted a single entry visa. Also recall I didn’t use my second visa so that could have played a part

Zazozhe2022:



How do you book your hotel reservations please? I have been asked to put a card that has money before I can do reservations . Every time I will get a message from agoda nd booking that they could not charge my card by the hotel. But then I have already printed my confirmation.

I think UK is even worse lol but Thank you, I got it. They granted a 30day Visa valid for two months but single entry. I can’t complain as it’s better than a rejection. Additionally, the end date is in the last month I can travel with my passport since it expires 6months after…so that could have influenced the validity. The lady ahead of me got a rejection and she mentioned she had reapplied after the first rejection. Reason was something around the justification for the trip or so. She claimed to have submitted a “healthy balance/statement”. It is well. I knew the outcome before she mentioned it because when she opened her envelope, there was an A4 paper in it.

Note: this is my third Schengen visa but I only used one previously as the second one, I had a change in travel plans. I forgot to put the bookings for the Spain leg of the trip (I mentioned I’d be visiting two countries but forgot my hotel booking for Spain although the flight tickets showed the correct plans). Also, I’m single and my closing balance was exactly 2.9m and not more. It could be true that they’re really not granting a lot of visas to first time Schengen region Travellers because there was nothing soooo special about my profile….a mon avis.

Most of the hotel reservation sites require credit or debit card information to finalize reservations.

You can do it on booking.com. Go for hotels with free cancellation and pay later.

Queenyetun:


The bulk of the money has been sitting there since forever.

I hope my appeal is considered tho

Queenyetun:


See ehn, I was confident I was going to get the visa. I had less than this balance when I got a Uk visa.. don’t know why France is moving mad
I pray you get yours.

Please I need a travel buddy. I finally got my visa after my 3rd application. I was denied twice even with an invitation. Infact the story is one kind. Who is traveling in November? . The person I planned my trip with didn’t get a visa so it might be a solo trip for me ☹️. Please also does anybody have an idea of what dates are currently available for appointment. Thanks

honestly, I dont understand these guys. I submitted the following for 11 days vacation this easter
1. Fully completed and duly signed application form
2. passport photographs as per visa specifications
3. Original and copy of our international passports
4. Copy of our church marriage certificate
5. Marriage Affidavits of facts
6. Copy of our Children's birth certificates
7. Copy of itinerary for our flight reservation with return from Lagos to Paris (air france)
8. Copy of our hotel reservation in Paris covering the period of stay. (from bookings.com)
9. Copy of our travel medical insurance
10. Copy of our reservation for tours and dinner
11. Copy of PAID ticket(s) for museum and tours (over $250)
12. Copy of my personal day to day 3 months bank account statement GTB - 3million plus
13. Copy of my personal saved up 3 months bank account statement GTB - 7million plus
14. Copy of my wife's 3 months bank account statement ACCESS - 2 million plus
15. Copy of my company registration documents - limited liability
16. Copy of my wife's company registration documents business registration
17. Copy of our three years e-tax clearance certificates
18. Copy of our rent receipts of our business premises (4 different business premises)
19. Pictures of our wedding, family, Last UAE vacation and our business premises
20. Cover letter

I had to pay for these tickets beacuse they are being sold out during the Easter season.

I have landed properties and a house but their titles are power of attorney...none has a C of O....so I did not bother to attach them.
I also did not attach my company bank account.

On my own refusal paper... they wrote that the reason I gave was unreliable and that they are not sure if i will leave the schengen area after the duration (i laughed...)

On my wife's own they wrote that they could not verify the authencity of her supporting documents ( I did not get this at all beacuse all documents submitted are legit and authentic including her well run bank statements...no agents involved) She told them that I will be sponsoring her trip in the cover letter.

I strongly believe that these people have a sterotyped way of making these evaluations that make it difficult for self employed people to get tourist visas.

We are hoping to appeal for the sake of doing it but we are looking to travel to another (yet to be decided) location for the anniversary!
I will need suggestions on where we can go for this holidays... my wife does not want africa. I dont know how easy to get tousrist visa to turkey or thailand.
