I think he has a UK visa. That might have tilted the decision in his favor.

I got my France 3months visa via ups today.
Submission date: 30 March 2022
Visa issued: 1st March 2022
It took them just 1 day to process my application. My advice is try not to waste money if you are a first time traveler. But then, that shouldn’t stop you from trying, anything can happen.
GOODLUCK guys

Hello house. I know this thread is meant for France visa discussions exclusively but I wanted to know if anyone has had an experience with France or any other Schengen country's outsourcing agency (BLS, VFS, TLS, etc.) where they refuse to post up appointment openings in a timely manner? I've been searching for a May appointment slot for a Spain Schengen visa since the beginning of March - we're now at April 6th and they still haven't released May appointment bookings. I hope this isn't a move by some cabal to pre-book May appointment slots for their chosen people or something...anything can happen in Naija. Please can anyone advise what may be happening? Have you experienced such before?

Hello Everyone.

I've been seeing alot of comments on first time travelers and how they're usually denied french visas.
Is this applicable to only tourist/visit visas? Do they usually reject study visa applications from first time travelers?
Is education a good route to enter France with?

Beverlyhills:
Put in a good study application , dont leave anything to chance.
Look out for the student section here and get more information.

My advice to you is to not bother with Spain. I dunno whether they sent the people who came last in class to Nigeria, but they are very dull. You will even have to translate your documents into Spanish, and they will hold your application even beyond your planned travel date.

Good evening everyone,

How long does France transit visa take to be out after submission?

Will appreciate your responses.

Thank you.
