Urgent: Save Me From Agents For Schengen Visa Costing 3.5 Million by Onuahia: 1:01pm On Mar 29, 2023 |
Hello guys. Please I need you to help me verify if my brother is making a mistake or I should let him proceed with the agent. My brother owns a shop but was advised by a friend who told him to travel out and now my brother is planning to sell everything in his shop. My question is…. Can he really get a job with Schengen visa? - Firstly he agreed with the agent to pay 3.5million naira for Finland visa last 4 weeks. - He paid advance 1 million naira - Today the agent called him and said visa is out only for him to see its Greece Schengen visa. - He was told to pay for account statement which he paid 20k - The agent said there won’t be any interview but just to go and thumbprint - He said after thumbprint possibly next week he will then have to pay for flight ticket and move. - He said my brother can travel to up to 20 countries and work there. Please is this true? Advise me if we should stop my brother from paying remaining balance of 2.5. Will this really work… the agent said Finland but went ahead and did Greece saying my brother can travel to Finland and other countries from Greece. Help me please cuz he wants him to balance up. Thanks in anticipation 🙏 |

Onuahia:No agent will do anything for you eventually, it is your brother that will do the interview himself. Tell your brother to tell him, he has changed his mind and will do something else. Collect his money back. I can put you and him through in the process so he can go about it himself. Else, your brother will regret and complain of losing his money. No one will do schengen interview for you except yourself and it is by yourself 3 Likes |

Onuahia: That is not possible, your brother has been scammed by that agent. Your brother will not be able to work with visiting visa in any Schengen country. Finland is under Schengen area but your brother will never get any legitimate in any Schengen area with that visa. He will be deported as soon as the authority get hold of him 10 Likes |

Ynix: Thanks for your response dear. The agent said there is nothing like interview for him cuz that’s why he is an agent and his team has bypassed it. He said he will only go for thumbprint. That’s all. Please how true is this cuz my brother want to go and do the thumbprint. He said the visa is out… would there be interview when the visa is out but just remaining thumbprinting so my brother will collect everything and move next week if he pays the balance |

Few questions: 1. The visa is already out and the agent says your brother will do biometrics next week? (If this is the case, your brother is being lied to. Visas cannot be issued without an applicant first submitting their biometrics) 2. What category of visa is your brother applying for? If it is a tourist visa, it'll be nearly impossible for him to get a job within the Member States. However, it is possible to travel to 27 countries within EU with a Schengen visa, in addition some Non-EU countries, North American country like Mexico and a few others. If your brother's visa was issued by Greece he must first land there before proceeding to Finland. 1 Like |

Ynix: What I mean is that he is not running away. He has been doing visa for people there. But my question is how possible would my brother get job there or even be able to enter those countries he mentioned and work there. Below is the message he sent prior to doing the visa. My brother told him Finland and he did Greece whereas it isn’t on the list he provided for him. He sent this 👇 Switzerland 🇨🇭, Italy 🇮🇹 Austria 🇦🇹, Sweden 🇸🇪, Norway 🇳🇴, Finland 🇫🇮 Denmark 🇩🇰, Germany 🇩🇪,Austria 🇦🇹,,, with France shengen you will work and stay in any of this good country,, price is 3.5m,,, requirements is, international passport and passport photograph white background 2by2 size for embassy and,, 6 months account statement balance from 1m and above,,, age from 30 years and above. Price 3.5m. |

Re: Urgent: Save Me From Agents For Schengen Visa Costing 3.5 Million by Onuahia: 2:27pm On Mar 29, 2023 |
Africankel: Thank you for your response 🙏 My brother said he told him yesterday that the visa is out remaining to thumbprint so that he will move. He said the man said 2 years but I don’t know if Schengen visa allows up to 2 years. Also my brother did not tell me the visa category but he said he told him before paying advance that he wants to work in Finland. Now it’s not Finland visa that he got but Greece. So if my brother can travel to 27 countries is it possible to get job? Cuz he is selling off his shop and am not comfortable with him trying to do that. Please advise on job possibilities and how long Schengen visa can last. Thanks. Please anyone who has know about this help and join to contribute. 🙏 Thanks all. |

Onuahia: Ok i have seen the complete members state list now and Greece is one of them. That said. Your brother is being scammed, mark that because you don't do biometric after getting a visa And finally your brother will not be able to get a job with that visa because its not permitted as its not work visa 4 Likes |

justwise: I don’t even know where to start now because of the advance paid already and assurance from the agent. Is it worth trying? Like allow him proceed and ask to get his money back? Would the agent agree as in this case he has already worked out the visa? Just so worried. |

Onuahia:stop reasoning like an illiterate. There is no visa anywhere. You brother has been scammed. You cannot get visa without biometrics/ thumbprints first. Unless you involve police he wont be able to get any money back . Too many mugus in this Nigeria . He can use 2m to get office for a year. Scam like 5 people a month, keep telling you guys the delay is from embassy for up to a year. Then disappears 8 Likes |

If your brother get that kind of money to give away, then he can do this himself. Stop enriching agents. There is no preference for visa agents vs doing it yourself. You will be submitting exactly thesame forms. We need to stop being lazy. There is a good chance here that your brother is being skammed. But a greece visa sha gives you "entry access" to all Schengen countries including finland, germany, czech republic, spain etc. but HE CANNOT WORK OOOO except you have a work/study permit and I'm sure this agent is doing a tourist visa at best.!!! No go loose guard. Onuahia: 1 Like |

Multiple people have told you this is pure scam and you are still arguing. Your brother should collect his 1m or cut his losses. This is scam. He should not pair that 2.5m balance or it will end in tears. You can’t get visa before doing biometrics 1 Like |
