What do you have to show as your ties to nigeria ?

Ashirioluwa:


- Bank statement

- payslips:

- Accommodation: Where you intend to stay in France

- Letter from your employer

- Evidence that you are in school

- Travel itinerary

- Travel insurance

- Family status: marriage cert, kids birth cert, family photos

- Sponsor: Add documents from your sponsor in case anyone is sponsoring you.

- Travel history: add your previous visas

- Others: other documents you think will help your application.

Unless you will be staying with someone, I don’t think the one month vacation will fly because of the cost.

Frequent traveler

Infiosa:


That's not true... he could write an email directly to the French embassy here in Nigeria referencing the application number and URN, and the email will be treated accordingly. I'm a living witness.

The crucial part is writing a convincing appeal email with genuine intentions and the refusal will be overturned.

hunee:


Thank you. If i may ask, is it complusory to attach company account alongside personal account when applying for tourist visas, especially for france. Because this comes up alot, in a case where both account are sufficiently run. Cant the personal account just fly. Also, in submitting personal, mind you, the recipent tenders her company documents?

Your careful insights are needed, esp for frequent travelers.

Please read carefully.

Ashirioluwa:


For the financial aspect, your personal account is okay if you have enough funds in it.

pufframmy:

Is this difference in name because of marriage, if yes, I suggest you include related documentation to support this e.g. some people choose to hyphenate their names after marriage and with the Nigerian law, you would have newspaper announcements that can be used as supporting documents.

In the case of your children, as long as there are birth certificates confirming and other supporting documents e.g. consent letter from other parent supporting the application, datapage of other parent (if they are not travelling) and even pictures supporting the relationship, I doubt there'll be any problem. Some family dynamics have children bearing different surnames from their parents and there is nothing wrong with that.

My rule of thumb for visa application has always been to over explain rather than under explain and by this, I mean provide ample evidence supporting every piece of your application and home ties.



Question 2
My daughter’s new school is not registered and her old school refuse to give no objection letter our traveling date is within holiday period do I need to submit that?

What do you mean by not registered? If she is going to this school why won't you get the letter from the school?

If indeed this is the holiday period, there is usually something to show e.g. end of year reports, calendar of activities that usually indicate start of a holiday break. As the goal is to show that this trip does not affect her continous studies and the child has to return (which is part of their ties to their home country), I would spend some time to gather all related evidence to demonstrate this.

I don't understand why the old school would provide this letter to you if she is no longer a student there. This is falsification of data unless she still is affiliated with the school.

She is 13years old she will be 14years this June

Please I need help??

pufframmy:
sorry about this i think the rate of Refusal Now is Much

hunee:


pufframmy, Trust you good?

Maybe we ask the documents he presented and what was the conditions for refusal.

Your thoughts, so others can take one or two lessons.

Restricted:

Really sorry about your refusal. What exactly is the refusal reason they gave? Also what documents/itinerary did you submit

tuborme:


honestly, I dont understand these guys. I submitted the following for 11 days vacation this easter
1. Fully completed and duly signed application form
2. passport photographs as per visa specifications
3. Original and copy of our international passports
4. Copy of our church marriage certificate
5. Marriage Affidavits of facts
6. Copy of our Children's birth certificates
7. Copy of itinerary for our flight reservation with return from Lagos to Paris (air france)
8. Copy of our hotel reservation in Paris covering the period of stay. (from bookings.com)
9. Copy of our travel medical insurance
10. Copy of our reservation for tours and dinner
11. Copy of PAID ticket(s) for museum and tours (over $250)
12. Copy of my personal day to day 3 months bank account statement GTB - 3million plus
13. Copy of my personal saved up 3 months bank account statement GTB - 7million plus
14. Copy of my wife's 3 months bank account statement ACCESS - 2 million plus
15. Copy of my company registration documents - limited liability
16. Copy of my wife's company registration documents business registration
17. Copy of our three years e-tax clearance certificates
18. Copy of our rent receipts of our business premises (4 different business premises)
19. Pictures of our wedding, family, Last UAE vacation and our business premises
20. Cover letter

I had to pay for these tickets beacuse they are being sold out during the Easter season.

I have landed properties and a house but their titles are power of attorney...none has a C of O....so I did not bother to attach them.
I also did not attach my company bank account.

On my own refusal paper... they wrote that the reason I gave was unreliable and that they are not sure if i will leave the schengen area after the duration (i laughed...)

On my wife's own they wrote that they could not verify the authencity of her supporting documents ( I did not get this at all beacuse all documents submitted are legit and authentic including her well run bank statements...no agents involved) She told them that I will be sponsoring her trip in the cover letter.

I strongly believe that these people have a sterotyped way of making these evaluations that make it difficult for self employed people to get tourist visas.

We are hoping to appeal for the sake of doing it but we are looking to travel to another (yet to be decided) location for the anniversary!
I will need suggestions on where we can go for this holidays... my wife does not want africa. I dont know how easy to get tousrist visa to turkey or thailand.

Newbiein2016:
Sorry about the refusal and hope people with more experience can speak to the documents submitted and how you might be able to improve on them in subsequent applications.

That said, for the request of a vacation outside Africa, I see a lot of tour companies online/instagram organising trips to Asia (Singapore/Bali), Lebanon and given their track records (ability to organize similar multiple trips within a period), they might be able to arrange this for you in a package. Do explore this option.

Hello gurus in the house.
I got a message I have been been drawn to make my game packs within 24hours on Paris 2024 which guarantee me of buying ticket for the Paris 2024 olympics from the official website


Please what’s my chances of getting visa after buying the Olympic ticket

MadeMan01:
Hello House,
I greet you all,
I want to apply for French Schengen visa for myself and my mom. We already hav UK visas and want to visit France as well with a relative based in the UK.

1. Can I apply for my mom from the profile i created with my email account or must I apply with a separate profile and email for her (ican see option to creat another application and another to create group application).
2. How long to get response

3. How much is French 90 day visa per person and how much does VFS charge per person?

Thanks in advance

Restricted:

Omo mehn.....after reading this, i sincerely dont know what to say. Schengen VO's are the most unpredictable set of people and it is very difficult to understand the rationale behind their thinking. All these verifiable documents and they still think you wont come back. I can only imagine the stress and hard work that went into the application.

1. Did they stamp your passports for this recent refusal?

2. Have you ever had a schengen visa refusal?
