If you can get a letter to this effect from the Lagos State Government, it will go a long way in helping your case. Your application must be foolproof.

Well, that's going to be hard. Maybe i should just forget this trip. Getting the Hospital ( Lagos state gov hospital ) to write a letter concerning payslips is going to be another hurdle or even impossible. Work break is end of next month. That's pretty much the only thing i don't have. Except maybe i apply through the italian embassy.

tzetzefly:


Get your payslips, this is important. That's why they state that give ample time for your application. Which in turn would have made it possible to gather all required documents before filing.

Oh wow. That is going to be hard cos its the government that does the pay slips and they are super slow in making them available ( i work for the Lagos state government ). I requested for them and they claimed its the pay slip for December 2014 that is available. They however paty our salaries directly into our accounts. That should count for something i guess. We also have this audit forms where we fill in bank details and departments we are working. Will that be helpful?

Except i explain all this, i either don't apply cos recent pay slips won't be available by the time i'm on a work leave. What do you think?

tzetzefly:


You cannot explain this as your details are with them. You only need to prove that you're a genuine applicant now, willing to depart the Schengen region at the expiration of your stay.

Yeah. I guess. Definitely willing to depart. Work has been super stressful and i need a vacation. Going to London for a while and would like to visit somewhere else. Oh well.

But the no pay slips, can i explain that? Pay slips are not ready on time

I want to believe that your purpose for entry to the Schengen area may not have been well articulated on those two previous occasions. Another reason could be that your means of sustenance was not convincing and not adequate to show enough proof of funds.

You will need to be very clear as it is now on why an entry visa should be issued to you and previous refusals overlooked.

Oh! Are you suggesting i explain both circumstances in my new application? Both stamps are on an expired passport anyway. The valid British Visa is on the valid international passport.

Greeting to NL Peeps..

My ITALY visa application was refused ..going to appeal it, as i was told i can in the doc presented..They said appeal should be with the assistance of a lawyer, what lawyer? local or foreign lawyer?

Also i want to know if it is something i can do myself, if it is, how can i send the appeal to T.A.R(Administrative Regional Court) of Latium, and with what format should i use to write the appeal.. the suckers didn't put no address or email to which i can send appeal to.. Does anyone know the right address?

Can someone please tell how it's done, will really appreciate

Oh wow. Not good news. Did you actually apply with just 200k as your account balance?? If Yes, you should get more money ( Don't lodge please ) before reapplying. 200K is way too small for a trip.

tzetzefly:


From all I can deduce from your statements, you have a slim fighting chance.

Prior UK travel can help your case however, two previous Schengen denial doesn't look good.

What transpired in your previous Schengen applications?

The first was an Airport transit visa from the Netherlands embassy. I had to travel to Lagos real quick and had to use KLM and get an airport transit visa which was denied. The second was from the Slovakian embassy. it was one summer and a bunch of my friends wanted to travel and we decided to go through them cos we heard it was easy. Apparently, it wasn't. They did not give an reason as to why they denied us anyway.

Both denial stamps are on my passport. This happened in 2011.

Hi, I know i shouldn't put it here but i am not getting any response from the appropriate thread.


I am thinking of applying for a French tourist Visa. I am a Medical Doctor and i have about two weeks off next month. I have a valid 2 year British visa and i intend on staying in London for a couple of days then go to Paris for three days during my work break. I have never been and i hear it is fun and beautiful. I love to travel but that green passport won't let someone be great. lol.
I am going to be sponsoring the trip myself. i am 27. Single. I have about 1M in my Savings account. Salary is about 150k but i still get some money from my parents sometimes plus i had money saved up while i was in school as a student. My Salary is being paid into my account and i take out a sum and save up in another account. I however don't have payslips - as seen as part of the requested documents on their site- because it takes forever for pay slips to be ready where i work. The only pay slip is have is for December 2014 and i think that is because i got paid my first salary then ( I started working in November 2014 ). I have been to England before in the past. I intend on booking a ticket from Lagos-London-Paris-Lagos. is that okay?
Also,would my not having the pay slips affect my chances really because i think that is where i am lacking. ( All the other documents required i have/can get). That plus i have been denied a Netherlands Airport Transit visa before ( weird right ) and a Shengen visa from Slovakia about 4 years ago. Just a bit paranoid here. Thank you.

Well done, You advise me to step away from South African embassy for good. I dont understand what you mean for this...
because i was not comit any crime or fraudulent with my document,even with December and Now, have traveled to Two Country.
I never knew my offece for What South-African embassy Called Documentation lacks credibility?

It is what they call "Money Lodgement" which is a huge red flag for most embassies. You presented a 700K account balance 6 months ago and to return with an 8 million account balance 6 months later. Except you got a new job where you were getting paid/making about One million every month, it is Money Lodgement most especially if you presented a pay slip of your monthly earnings which is not one million naira monthly,

I hope you understand. Cheers.
