I have a quick question about Travel history regarding First timer/Frequent Traveller.
Someone who has lived in Europe had a Polish study Visa over 9 years ago and has been to other schengen countries too is the person regarded in the category of First timer or Frequent traveler? Remember the study Visa was over 9 years ago. And also he has some travel history to some African countries, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon.
Pls I need answers to this question on what you think?
I would appreciate the enthusiasm from your experiences here. Thank you.

cucumbar:
well, I think a lot of factors come into play in deciding who gets a visa or not and travel history is just one of them.
If you are an employee, the organization you work with, your role and how much you earn is important. Some organizations open doors. This could come in handy for first timers.
If you are a business person, the type of business you do and your turnover comes into play here.
When I got my first shengen visa, I didn’t have what could be considered travel history, as I only had a dubai stamp and Brazilian visa that I had not used.

Some one mentioned a very key factor on another thread and I’m going to quote it here( credit to pansophist)

“To get a visa easily from any country, YOU MUST GIVE THE CONSULAR A VIBE OF AFFLUENCE. The consular must be convinced that you are least likely to overstay or abuse the conditions of your visa. This is where most applicants get a denial because it is difficult to prove”.

Good Morning Gurus in the house , I’ want to Reapply again please I need your assistance for the guidance, please help me God will help you , First timer no travel history what is my chances or I should leave Schengen Zone for now , please if you have idea the list of countries that given Visa right now please mention it My travel plan is January 25th 2023- Feb 10 2023

Good evening @Davodguy
Do you mean I should reapply for Spain �� but someone told me Appeal Isn’t work for shengen , I apply for Australia �� In 2019 it’s take almost 2 month before the refusal, during the Bushfires that’s happen in Australia then I didn’t know I can Reapply and Write Protest letter to them then

Pls have you seen anyone that’s appeal to Spain and win the appeal and granted the visa

No one is telling you to appeal, cos you would not succeed on it.

Apply to France and the only thing to add is to improve your cover letter

The documents are OKAY

@Davodguy , I will appreciate if you can assist me with strong � cover letter for France

You are not a first timer.

First time has two categories

Category one, virgin passport

Category two travel to countries in Africa would also be seen as first timer to Europe

A list countries are UK, USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand all 26 Schengen Countries
B list are UAE, Turkey, China, Malaysia etc

African countries does not have good ratings abroad

Good idea

Use MOMONDO, SKYSCANNER OR KIWI.COM for cheap fliguts.

davodyguy:

See the attachment

It's almost ₦5m for a family of 3

and can we use naira to pay for them?>

i notice you have to pay in dollars, which our bank cant allow us

pufframmy:

You will get a dollar card, fund the card with black market dollar and then pay so much.

It is best to use Traveling agent to buy, cos they still get some discount

pufframmy:

i notice you have to pay in dollars, which our bank cant allow us

I pay using my credit card (ATM CARD).
When I have to use a travel agent, I use Wakanow or TravelPlanna.
But most times travel planna, because they are cheaper.

unfortunately, did not add my personal bank account and that of my wife.

Felt really bad

Company statement is in excess of 23m but I just hope these guys will not use this error against all 3 of us

Stop wasting your time as first timer
Schengen won’t give you
Try smaller countries like Serbia,Slovenia, kosovo,Romania or Bulgaria
Any or these is very easy to get their visa from there you can move into EU
Stop wasting time on France ,Italy ,Spain it’s hard..the goal is to leave Nigeria
