The same way they have been giving people who had gotten 1yr,2years before .
Now getting 6months at French, Polish and Spanish embassies is the same way they give first timers 1year.
And I just saw another today.

The procedure for getting 1 or the 3 year shengen visa is as @ashirioluwa pointed out in her comment. That is just the rule, and you can read this on the shengen visa information manual.

I’m not saying that you’re lying, but I have not seen anyone who gets a 1-year for his or her first Shengen visa application.

I know those with extensive travel history do get 3-month visa for their first shengen visa applications, not one year.

My first Schengen visa was issued for one month while that of my partner was 2-week visa.

Today, we both have 3-year visas.

No Schengen will give u 1 year for the first unless u are long stay but for short stay is not possible.

Coming from the consular general that said Germany and America works together hence the physical interview.
Same person who said a man should go dump his family in Germany and jobs will be waiting for them.
U nor dey tire?

You saw another one today! This is going on, and no one from our Nairaland family has gotten it yet or come out to confirm it.

Anyway, I will take your word for it.

Is your Nairaland group the only Schengen group worldwide?
Even when some people have been encouraging that France is the place to get it easy haven’t so people been advising people to shun France due to rejection rate?
I’m not here to convince anyone.
I simply asked for clarity.

Don’t deviate from the point. We are talking about those applications submitted here in Naija, not from other parts of the world.

Bro, I am not arguing with you on this matter, and that was the reason I said I will take your word for it.

yes i thought as much, they have no doubt about you and your family with the visa on the passport Already

Blessedsteph:
Yes, both myself and 3 kids all have 10yrs UK visit visa, US and Canada but we are yet to use the Canadian visa.
Kids been to the US only twice. I have been there multiple times in the last 10yrs. So I guess that counts?

Zoey1:
There is 23rd of May - 31st of May

thanks, looks like the website is under maintenance. am logged in but it keeps sending me to create account page.

The conditions for the 1year visa is not entirely true.
May 2023 was my first time of ever applying for Schengen visa, same as my 3 children. We were all granted 1 year multiple entry visa through French embassy. That visa expires next month (June 2024).
Bear in mind that in our application, we requested for an 8 days single entry visa.

Ashirioluwa:


This is the truth about Schengen 1- or 3-year short-stay visitor visas.

Applicants don't ask for 1 or 3 years on their application, but they will be automatically granted if they meet the requirements for the 1- or 3-year visas.

Applicants who wish to get a 1 or 3-year visa must apply for a short "multiple" stay visa and meet the following requirements:

For the one-year visa, the applicant must have used three short-stay visas in the last two years and can provide proof of those visas and visits to the Schengen countries.

Also, to get the 3-year visa, the applicant must have previously used a one-year visa within the last two years.

I wish we can bet on this. So I show you proof…make I chop your money. I am the proof. No be say person tell me. My visa and that of my 3 children are all 1 year and that was our first Schengen visa ever. Though I was pleasantly surprised because I also had that misinformation that they’d never give us a visa for one whole year being first timers.
Please let’s stick to verifiable facts.

Yes that was what I concluded because I wasn’t expecting that at all.

Ok, that’s noted

Hello gurus Canada sill giving visa ?

Hello House, I am on the verge of applying for a france visa with my 3months old. Pls Are infants required to attend the biometrics appointment.

Not entirely true.
My first and only Schengen visa so far, I got 2 years.

And I applied for just 3 days visit.

[quote author=Ogolikpo1 post=129927941][/quote]

No, they’re not. My first child is 8yrs old and didn’t require biometrics. I submitted for all for them. Just make sure you snap a clear passport in white background and in the France visa size specifics.

I submitted April 30 and got a notification today that my passport is back at TLS. Note that I applied for Netherlands through France (i.e the French Consulate processes Netherlands visa in Nigeria). My first Schengen application though I have a travel history to over 10 countries.

Hopefully, you get an application update soon.

esdajo:
Good day all,

So I submitted my application 2 weeks ago at TLS in VI and up till now, I am yet to get a feedback. Is this a new development ?

Thanks for the update. I hope they revert soonest though.

Non Nigerians have vowed Netherlands is the most generous of all Schengen but I don’t think so of Nigeria.
What do you think?
