Thank you for pointing it out.
It was an inadvertent omission from the List. Indeed, Evidence of Hotel Reservation was submitted alongside the application.

Please guys, any idea how to make flight reservation without payment? I’m using royal Air Maroc but they don’t have reservation option, I’m submitting my docs 2nd August,, pls help a sisa

You can use several airline websites to do it. Most of them will require payment within 24 hours; failure to do so will result in cancellation of your reservation.

Or

You can also use a travel agency to do it

Or

You can visit naijagoingabroad.com. If you book hotel reservation or travel insurance through naijagoingabroad.com, you can get the flight reservation for free. To get the flight reservation for free, you must spend roughly 5000 naira for hotel reservation. If you buy travel insurance from them, you can also get it for free.

Important notice: The company "Naija Going Abroad" does not employ me, nor am I an agent or owner of the business. I learned about them on the nairaland site, and I've used them in the past to book hotel reservations, get travel insurance, and book flight reservations. Before engaging with them, kindly confirm it on your own.

Good morning gurus please how much is Spain appointment fees and Visa fees for tourist

I am aware that the purpose of this forum is to exchange questions and answers, but I still think we should conduct our own search. The website contains details about the visa fee, service charges, additional services, and how to make an appointment.

On their website, you can get all the information you require. The Visa fee is 37100 naira as shown on their website. Service charge is 7200 naira.

The appointment is $17.1. The next available appointment is mid September.

I got the above information from their website.

Yes it is to filter people that can follow. Just to make it a closed group. Once you follow, I'll accept as quickly as possible.

why not a open forum or telegram instead of instagram so people can communicate well

Hi lionlee216! Congrats on your visa. I am in a similar situation. I am a GC holder who is applying for a Schengen visa through the French embassy from Atlanta. I had two Schengen visas issued by the Swiss consulate in the past and both were of 6 months duration. Did you specifically ask for a 30-day visa from the French embassy or is that what they just issued to you? Did the 30-day period of validity on your visa start from when the visa was issued or your departure date as stated on your visa application?
Thanks

Oh, 6 months duration! Hopefully, i won't have any reasons to apply for visa moving forward.

I didn't ask for 1 month visa. It was at the discretion of the consulate. I stated my trip is from Sept 9 to 18, I guess hence the 1 month visa. A friend that applied through the Italian embassy got less than 15 days.

My visa Validity starts from Sept 1 and valid till Nov 30th

Thanks boss! This information is very helpful. Appreciate the prompt reply. Have a good one and enjoy your vacation in France.
