Please house I wanted to book for travel insurance through AXA mansard, while filling the form I was asking to provide my BVN and front page of my passport.

I mine good to provide my BVN #?

Please for security purposes

Don’t provide your BVN to anyone. All you need is your name and passport number.

You can try any other insurance companies. So many insurance companies outside there that you can buy travel insurance from.

Good morning and special thanks to those taking time to reply others. God bless you all.

Please help with the following:

I have a valid 5 year UK visa. I already booked (and paid) for a ticket to London for Easter holiday. I want to do a 4-day trip to Paris from London and plan to go by Train (2 hours plus).

1. Is it sufficient to state this without evidence of flight booking or is it a must to include flight booking or training booking?

2. Do i need to include my flight ticket to London in the application?

3. I will like to use the Visa again in September. Which Visa type should I apply for that will cover the trips in April and September?

I already made hotel reservation (Paris) and I have valid Canadian Visa.

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Beverlyhills: 9:16am On Feb 20, 2022
1. Its not sufficient just to state your plan, it should be backed with an unpaid flight or train reservation.

2. Yes , you should include that . If you can do a multi city routing to accommodate your plans - LOS - CDG- LHR- LOS or LOS- LHR- CDG- LOS. Your Choice.

3. A short stay Tourist visa -Request for that in your Cover letter ,explain in simple terms that you would need visits in April and September..

4. Attach in the necessary Documentation, the list is endless.

Hello Donbaba123

Yours is dicey. There's no refusal point, i'd say write an appeal letter in English then translate to French. This letter should be a General appeal letter and should focus on how you were refused noting that no Reason was given and doubts if your application was truly examined hence you would kindly request that your next application be examined fairly.

If you have someone in France , you can send the appeal letter via email for the person to print and assist you in posting to Nantes. This will also reduce cost and get to them faster.

Your Appeal Supporting Document

1. Include a clear Scanned Copy of that Refusal Letter.
2. Your application Cover letter with itinenary.
3. The hotel booking used for the application.


Please dont rush off with a Conference letter for a Business visa for now. It would only reek of desperation give it some months before you put in another application else it would result in another denial.






Thanks alot

It is not refundable.

It is clearly written on the appointment paper.

However, it can be re-scheduled as this is stated clearly in the appointment paper also.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by EarthChild: 4:42pm On Feb 20, 2022
I’m sorry your visa application was rejected, you have the option of re-applying or appealing to the decision... but your own case was totally difference as the visa officer didn’t mention the reason for rejection and no document stating the reason for rejection.
Remember I told you that it’s 50/50 chances when its comes to Schengen tourist visa especially if you are not a frequent travelers. Please don’t rush by making another visa application at the moment, you may go ahead and appeal but there is no guarantee on the time scale of the appeal process as immigration-related matters can take longer to process.
Meanwhile you can start looking for a business conference for July and August.



Donbaba123:


How can make an appeal? Or i just re apply again with same documents I submitted, cuz I really do knw what to do right now

Just a quick question from gurus in the house

Can I staple any documents that more than 1 page if I want to submit at the vsf on my appointment date?
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Beverlyhills: 5:46pm On Feb 20, 2022
Use Binder Clips or Paper clips.

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Beverlyhills: 7:11pm On Feb 20, 2022
Hello Iwuchineme

1. You are staying longer in France so you have to go through France. Campus France would not attend to you atall if you were to apply through the German Embassy.

2. Your Cover letter: Pick a Paragraph to explain this to the visa Officer in very simple English language.


Alot of Students do such interchange every year within the Schengen region.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Gentlesoul3268: 7:23pm On Feb 20, 2022
Since there's documents to back it up that you will first spend 1 yrs in France and 6 month in Germany no problem and also you need to explain everything in details on cover letter.

Sorry bros I can feel your pains, God will do it this time around for you and everyone of us Amen

Please if I get you correctly you said you will be going to 2 schools, does it mean the programme is an Erasmus programme? If yes, how much did you pay for self funded?
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by EarthChild: 8:07pm On Feb 20, 2022
The embassy requested 3 months bank Statements but why do you wanted to submit more than 3 months? Please don’t over “DO”

It is risky to wait for 48 hours because of processes it involves.

Appointment re-schedule is done by French Embassy not VFS but u av to send a mail to VFS first.

VFS will give you embassy email.

Having received embassy email frm VFS, u will present ur matter by sending a mail.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Iwuchineme: 8:30pm On Feb 20, 2022

Schengen rule says "minimum last 3 months" but d rule never mentions "maximum" (meaning, u can submit frm 3 months upward).

I av submitted 1-year as well as 6-month SOA and embassy never frown @ it.

In summary, submittion of 3 to 12 months SOA is within d acceptable range.

I stand to be corrected pls.
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Iwuchineme: 8:36pm On Feb 20, 2022
Yeah all my visa application docs for studies came from france except the course fees receipts which was issued from germany as the main campus but my program end date written there is for when i will be done generally in germany not when i will be done in france...It's written July 2023 but i will be done in France in Jan 2023 then move to complete....How to explain that in cover letter is what i am confused about

Simply state it the same way you just did here and state why you choose france to Greece.
Your duration of stay in France - 1 year and 6 months in Germany for Completion.

Short and concise.

Draft something and post it here , we are here to assist you modify it if need be.

Keep out personal details.
