lol, you say nigeria immg has nothing? Ok, no wahala
Whether if immigration do not agree to stamp, he will fly.

I think someone already said it is possible, so let see how it goes and hope they feedback.

Yes. Nigerian immigration has nothing to do with whether you have a visa to your destination country their job is to stamp you out. It's the airlines responsibility

Tourist short stay visa you mean?
From 11 june 2024, the short stay visa increased to 90 euros for adults and 45 euros for children 6 to 11 years.
So multiply 90 euros by Naira exchange rate to get the total amount in Naira.

Please For applications submitted before the increment of the visa fees, and it already stated the cost, will you then be asked to pay the new visa fees on the day of your biometrics since the appointment date is after the increment ?
And is card payment allowed ? Or cash only ?

Pls does anyone knows any hotel that is close to TLS center in V.I?

I think the new increment will apply as per current rate on the day of biometrics
For example, I submitted my application in May 2024 and was informed on the form to bring 80 euros or about 123 k on the day of biometrics only for me to eventually pay 138k on that day which i think was the new rate of 90 euros effective from 11 june.

Hi Nicholas. Did you eventually get a response?

Nah not yet. I’m now getting worried coz it’s the 7th week and I’ve tried all available means to reach them even if it means for me to withdraw my application. other countries like Spain and Norway issues my type of visa in 5 days.

yerilistik:

It can be refused depending on the category you are applying from.
For example, there is what is called "regroupement familial" which is the main route to relocate and join a legal french resident and the demand for this kind of visa is initiated right from France.
However, if it's just to visit and return back then you have to apply under tourist family visa and get attestation d'accueuil from the city mayor where the resident lives (the resident will just go thier city mayor and request for it, the mayor office may send people to verify his/her accommodation first before granting the document and this document costs about 30 euros to be bought as stamp. The requirements for these different types of visa are different and once you submit all the required documents of the category you applied and they approve them then your chances of getting the visa are good.
A practical example of how they can refuse you the visa : if you want to use a smart way (tourist route) to relocate and join your family member and they figure it out from your application then surely the application will be refused. Hope you get it?

Modified : if spouse is french citizen, your chances of being refused the visa are very slim provided you provide all required documents and you are not in a polygamous marriage (stated on thier website). There is special visa for French family members and you have to apply for that visa and supply the required documentations

I submitted mine under the spouse of an EU citizen and with lesser documents but they are taking so long with the decision .it’s the 7th week now and I hope if there’s a way one can withdraw one’s application

Email the consulate about your passport. Tell them it's been been over 7 weeks. I hope it's not that they've even returned it and you weren't notified. Email consulate,not TLScontact like you did the first time.

thanks for sharing

I also submitted my file as a french spouse citizen
But in your case there somethings that need to be considered. Does your spouse have dual citizenship? Your partner is from which country exactly? Where did you get married? I mean which country? All this are very important if you could elaborate

And why are you going to Europe through France? Does your partner reside in France permanently.?
If you are not careful it could take longer. From experience sha

Thats crazy application was submitted in May too, and appointment is at the end of this month, one would have thought since you submitted before the 11th of June you will pay the fees specified on the registration receipt.

Hope it is not cash only ?

When I emailed the consulate, the reply I got was that they don’t give the status of the application I would have to go through TLS. I called TLS as well and the lady that picked was surprised as well but she told me they haven’t receive my passport yet.

She doesn’t live in France. We decided to visit France together coz the EU spouse route is quite easy. And the address on the letter is her home country address.
What do you think I could do?

[quote author=Amml270 post=130858838][/quote]
She’s American Belgian but lives in Belgium and we got married here in Nigeria

You should have applied through Belgium first
They will see it suspicious. That's why it took so much time
They. Are making some investigation. But no fear sha . It will be hard for them to refuse you like thst

Is your marriage already registered in Belgium?

Belgium wasn’t taking any applications for like two months due to one network ish. Now they just announced they will resume back by July 22.
If I knew France won’t adhere to their 15 days wait, I wouldn’t have apply. Even Spain with tougher restrictions dey issue am in two weeks under the same directive.
Make them jus give me my passport back i dey pray.

This is exactly what i think.
Applying through France wasn't the best idea. It's possible they have sent the passport and application to Belgian consulate to carry out the investigation and take decision which obviously ll take longer than the usual duration

Sorry about this.
Like i stated earlier, it would have been better and more straightfoward you applied through Belgium since your spouse resides there.
However, the fact that it has taken this long, 7 weeks, makes me think they are likely to grant you the visa just that they are probably liasing with Belgian authorities to do some verifications before taking a decision.
A refusal ll not usually take this long unless after investigations they find that you guys were not properly married. Just calm down and continue to excercise patience

in addition to what you said. They want to be. Sure if you actually got married. You know if it was a marriage between you and french citizen it would have been different. because before you could get married to a french citizen.. you need to apply for a ccam from french embassy which could take year or month deoend in your situation and after the ccam then you can get married and after you need to do s transcription . So they know marriage with a french is fo sure a real marriage . because even the transcription takes 6 month. After the transcription they will issue you a family boom. So.. with you it will be different.

French people are always suspicious of everything
So don't worry you will get it
But they will be sure and make proper investigation
