Hi,

You haven't really made your point, what makes it Shiit?

Yes i have been to Lille, Strasbourg and Bordeaux.

Regards,

CowbellY:


You visit Paris twice a year. I lived there. I tell you it's shiit when you leave the tourist areas. The whole city smells, it's dirty. Now you're going to argue with me. Because I see in your initial reply you tried to make the op be "grateful" for getting a French visa.

Anyway, I'm not here to ruin the mystic for anyone. By all means if anyone is able to travel let them visit Paris. It's really nice especially when you see it for the first time. Stick to the touristy areas and take lots of pictures.

Yes with a balance less than 300k, she should.

Lol, the whole city smells, as if i most times sat in my hotel rooms.

When you say the whole city smells, have you been to some part in London, Frankfurt, Berlin, New york, etc?

Ashirioluwa:


6 days

josephb:
Oh okay, her last visa was what duration? And were they all from France?

meljoe:

Oh wow okay

artofalternativ:


- Passport, application form,etc
- Copies of previous visas (three US visas in the past 7 years)
- 6 months bank statements
- 6 months payslips
- Contract of employment
- Official letter confirming my sabbatical from my HR
- Flight tickets (paid)
- Hotel and Airbnb reservations (unpaid)
- Invitation from a family member in another EU country where I'll be spending part of my sabbatical (letter, notarised copy of ID and proof of address)
- Travel insurance (it's a two month trip but I bought three months)
- Copy of my Lagos rent receipt
- Very detailed itinerary since I'm visiting multiple countries and cities

In the itinerary/cover letter I also explained the proof of funds issue and hinted that I wouldn't pay two years' rent and a hefty amount to furnish the place if I want to japa next month

josephb:
Hello,

You planned to use 60 days, i hope your visa has a 90 days stay?

Because the three months you were granted is just the visa validity period.

". A single day of snorkelling in Tulum was a greater experience than all the cities I've ever stepped in put together.

artofalternativ:


"With a balance less than 300k"

Sometimes it's like people don't think how much do you think two years' rent and house furnishing costs in Lagos? Do you think that's something I could have paid for along with a multi-city flight ticket and other normal expenses if 300k is what's normally in my bank account, or that the embassy is stupid to have approved a two month trip based on 300k alone?

All I will say is don't drag finances with who you don't know.

As to your other comment, yes people like you take these cities as the pinnacle of travel achievement as if air pollution, congestion and landmarks that have been thoroughly cheapened by mass media are what everyone is looking for on vacation. Abi is it buildings and trains we've never seen before? Anyway you're welcome to continue to do so but I hope for your own sake that one day you step out of that bubble and go somewhere that will actually wow you. A single day of snorkelling in Tulum was a greater experience than all the cities I've ever stepped in put together.
