Good evening. I'm heading to UK transiting through Amsterdam cos I'm flying KLM and I understand I need a transit visa.

Also I have a schegen type C visa valid till Novemeber. Can i use the visa to transit through Amsterdam while heading to UK or I'll need to actually apply for a transit visa for that purpose

Huracan:
How long does it take to get appointment date?..does it take months?

Ashirioluwa:


No, the next available appointment for First time and Frequent travelers (short stay) in Lagos is November 2, 2022 if you booked it today.

Ashirioluwa:


I'm not sure what you meant when you said the best country to apply for Schengen visa because all these countries that I am aware of will review your paperwork and only grant you a visa if they believe you merit it.

I normally apply for Schengen visa through France embassy because the processing time is FASTER.

The sponsor will show
- A 3 month bank statements
- Letter of support outlining your relationship with the applicants and your motivation for sponsoring them
- Any additional documentation that can help their applications

The applicants will show their
- Bank statements
- Letter from their jobs
- Marriage certificates
- Kids’ birth certificates
- Any other documents they think might help their applications.

You will need to show that you have enough fund in your account to cover the cost of the trip.

Those who have their passport ready can apply now or wait for the other kid. Either way is fine.

You will pay the VFS service fees online to enable you book appointment. The application fees will be paid at VFS center.

meljoe:


Please do you have idea of documents a family should take to the embassy ?

Ashirioluwa:



- Bank statements
- Letter from their jobs or your business documents
- Pay slips
- Marriage certificates
- Kids’ birth certificates
- Family photos
- Any other documents they think might help their applications.

meljoe:
Okay thank you , is it compulsory I add the kids statement of account , though I’m the one sponsoring everything ? And cover letter be done individually or just one for the family ?

Ashirioluwa:


-The parents’ bank statements will be enough.
-The main applicant will write a cover/introduction letter.
-Sponsor will write letter of support

Weather you are sponsoring them or not they still need to show home, family and economic ties.

This is my own personal opinion. Attaching all these documents to your application doesn’t guarantee that the visa will be issued or not

Iampeaceful:
How many weeks for France Visa processing please?

Iampeaceful:
Thank you so much.

What I meant by best is actually the country that is most likely to grant them becauae they have no travel history.

HRprof:


I will advise you should not state you are sponsoring them. Since they are family embassy believe family can take care of their travel.

You can transfer the money to your brothers account to show prove of fund while presenting bank statement

I don’t see the possibility of getting the visa if you appear as their sponsor .

Guid them with the information you got here on how to apply and provide necessary documents for the visa as self sponsor, when they get the visa you can take responsibility of their trip.

You have to wait for the child passport to be ready since they are applying as a family.

Ashirioluwa:


Most frequent travelers get decisions within one week

meljoe:
Yes I know

I’m just putting the documents together , they don’t need to have each of them introduction letter then I will do cover letter summarizing everything ?
Or just me writing an introduction for myself and introducing them also

youngprince111:
just Write an introduction Letter introducing them since u are the Sponsor, you don’t need to write separate introduction letters

Don’t forget to include Attestation Letter from ur kids school introducing them and include ur Family pictures.
You can past the Documents u have here so gurus in the house can tell u what need to be included.

Best of Luck �
