Should I include stamps to Dubai & Rwanda or the want just sticker visas ?

They don’t need stamp visa only sticker visa , first time I applied for French visa I added my Ivory Coast visa stamp copy it was remove at the VFS when accessing my documents before collection. I was told is only sticker visa they collect. Still you can go with it if is not needed they will tell you .

Is this okay now

Hope you have valid American visa on your passport as you indicated you are traveling from france to USA? Is important

BummyMatth:
Please how many days does it take for first timer processing. Submitted on the 11th of this month.

It is normal to stay this long as the first time applicant before now it takes 14 days or more to process first visa application but recently some people said their first application came out in 2 days with denial I wonder when they look at the application but for your own case is a good sign it might come out positive.

Please where i can get affordable 6 months Travel Insurance?

guys please how can I apply for a shenghen visa from south africa because I have a work permit , am I going to follow all the steps just like I am in Nigeria ?

hi everyone,

I would like to apply for Schengen Visa for honeymoon with my spouse, the wedding is in April and we would like to visit Paris immediately after the wedding.

Although this is going to be my first Schengen Visa but i have a bit of travel history to the US, UK and Ireland.

I would like to know how I can apply for him and I together and the documents needed to be submitted. Thanks

tmodeltoluene:


I have but still need me to input card information. Even after trying to input the details now saying insufficient money in the account.

Does it mean I'll be debited?

Ideally, they will hold the first night charge which you get back once you cancel. There's also the no prepayment option. Are you going to France? If yes, which city? I could check booking.com and share some names with you.

Please what other supporting documents can my friend who is sending "Proof of Accommodation" from France �� add to it before sending it to Nigeria? And also, is hotel accommodation still needed with Proof of Accommodation( for family of 5) . Help a sister please, I am going to try a Schengen visa fort he first time, thanks.

Please go the hotel route and leave that proof of Accommodation from your friend.

When you get your visa , you can gladly go to your friend's.

Hi Annylove,

First Congrats on your Upcoming wedding, take some time to scan through the last 20 pages, it would do you a lot of good in terms of Documentation. Though your travel history is good you still need to work abit..

Basics are the
bank statements,
insurance,
flight and hotel reservations,
assets if any,
pensions,
previous visas
Marriage Certificate
Cover letter stating your honeymoon plans in france..
Employment details etc...

The list is Endless...

Let hope this week for the good news please remember to share us the good news for the first timer

You have a work permit, you are resident in SA. Check what the requirements are for a permit holder in SA and do accordingly.

Requirements by country differs...

You are welcome. From my experience, the Attestation d'accueil and other documents didn't hold weight.

Whao!! This is indeed an eye opening for me and do you know that I have spent millions on the ordinary paper, thinking that it has weight, God bless you.

Your Friend is sending you and your family an Invite and you have spent Millions?

Mmmm.... this friend though.....


The French resident hosting you will need to obtain this ‘attestation d’accueil’ from their local Mayor’s office, and send you the original attestation.

Honestly, it was when they started asking for 170euro per head again for insurance that ( I mean my family friend and the French citizen whom the Attestation was issued in her name) that I came back to my senses that something is not right, which is why I remembered NAIRALAND. I think we have been scammed because they have started threatening that if we don't pay 170euro again per head for insurance @ the rate of 630naira/ euro, that all the payment we have made so far will be forfeited. Thankfully, we know the friend family house here, so the next step is to ask for a refund. I'm so confused at the moment.

Praiseola, there is no confusion here.

Request for a Refund if any because at this point, its a different story.

Book your hotel, put your documents together and head to VFS Global.

Please let's all be very careful , a lot of desperate people out there with promises of getting you this and that whilst they are still here in Nigeria with us.

If they had that much connection why are they still here preying on Innocent people.

Let's Cultivate the habit of READING , everything we want is online... Someone somewhere has or have had the situation you are in ... there's Nairaland, there's Quora.. etc

Godspeed.

I appreciate you alot. Sure, we are going to get the money back at all cost, even if they won't refund everything and I am definitely going to be back here for positive feedback by his grace�

Why do most Nigerians have Japa syndrome?

Thanks for the reply, oh I have scanned through previous pages even before asking questions and I have put down a lot of information.

I just completed the form but sadly the earliest date available is on the 19th of April. I thought I would have gotten earlier dates

Pls what are the document they will ask at France the interview for student?

Please how do I go about
1. Booking an accommodation (anyone with a link)
2. Where do I go to get travel insurance

Or health insurance

3. Link to book appointment for visa submission and please the online form



Please I need answers thank u everyone

I beg your pardon. This has nothing to do with Japa syndrome and just because I am going to try Schengen Visa for the first time does not mean that I have not lived abroad before and It can happen to anybody. I am here to seek advice from reasonable people who know better, not the other way round. quote author=HRprof post=111294241]
