Personal SOA ....

To interpret the English literally, it means Bank Statement, but since you said you provided.

Did you put yours as an individual or the company's?

I'm so pissed right now ! I keep wondering if VFS didn't include my SOA to the application .. When I saw the email requesting for additional document, I thought the embassy wanted me to show proof of how I made the money in my account and I only sent documents and letters to that regards..

Most countries now feel comfortable with second/multiple timers for visa grant.

Not really, I’m first timer but got 3months multiple entry. Next I’d be applying for one year God Willing, Amen 🙏

Right Documentation is the key.

He will need a card for booking.com. Even if it's free cancellation and no prepayment.

Check Radisson Hotels. It seems I once made a reservation without card. Not very sure though, it's been a long time.

Yes he need a card, but his card wouldn't be charge.

It's not about being charged.

He's asking for book now pay later option, which he wants to do without a debit/credit card.

In all honesty, I doubt if there's any site presently that would allow you to place a booking on hold, without requiring a card
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Ajalalomo: 8:38pm On Nov 24, 2024
Please I need you guys to help me look into this.

I am supposed to go to France in the last week of November, but I will not be able to because my employer recalled me from annual leave and paid me cash in lieu of the leave. 

I obtained a one-month Shengen (France) visa earlier this month, but it will expire on December 24, so I won't be able to travel or use it.

While my visa is still valid, can I apply for a new visa for my proposed trip in March 2025, or should I wait until my current visa expires before I do so?

One of my juniors asked me the above question, but I didn’t know how to answer the question correctly for him.

Apply after expiration and must explain why you didn't use in a convincing way with evidence, otherwise you'll not be granted
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by hunee: 9:11pm On Nov 24, 2024
In your own interest, if that visa is your first schengen visa, you had better go and spend like 5days and return. In your own interest. Goodluck

This is his first visa

He has to use that visa. I am not sure if those guys are here, but a few people got these visas in the past and didn't travel with it.
Consequently, they have not been able to secure another Schengen visa after that.

I hope he listens to the advise.

I was checking expedia today for low fares and I saw Brussels airlines flies Paris for about 432usd on return , so check . But the said person has to travel via Cotonou if he wants a low cost rate as the lagos airport now is having very high traffic thus leading to increased ticket fares.

I wish him luck.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Chelseaboy101: 10:25pm On Nov 24, 2024
My advice ? Use that visa if that's your first . Even if you have to go for 3 days. Use it please .
