Hello everyone. Pls how do I withdraw my Italy Tourist visa application and get my passport immediately? I don't want again. They have frustrated me for no reason and they can keep their stupid Visa and just send me my passport as I need to travel to the U.S on a work assignment. They can't keep treating people this way. I applied since the 17th of September at the TLS office in Abuja. I am a frequent international traveller and I have a 5-year U.S. Visa and 10-Year U.K Visa, so I am not looking to japa and hide in their country. I applied for a 1-week single entry visa because I had some free time and just wanted to visit Italy for the first time in October for a week as I saw flight tickets were affordable. I included everything in my application - CAC documents, personal tax certificate, travel itinerary, flight and accommodation booking, health insurance, a healthy personal bank statement of mid 6-figures in USD and 7 figures in cumulative inflow and outflow over the past 6 months. I have been to Switzerland in the past so I'm not a first timer in the Schengen area. They have still held on to my passport for more than 30 business days. I have called them, they don't pick up. I have sent like 10 emails in the past 5 days to their Abuja and Lagos embassies and copied the Lagos visa email address, telling them to send back my passport, that they should keep their visa, they still haven't responded. I'm supposed to go to Houston this weekend. What do I do? I'm almost losing my mind. These f*cktards are holding me and my passport hostage. Pls help.

Dear Member, I understand how you feel but please be calm and read how to go about this.

1. Stop sending mails. Visit the submission center and make a formal compliant.

Your visit can be in person or by proxy.

2. Be careful how you handle issues of this nature, it's withdrawal of passport not like any other thing is involved.

3. Another thing you can do is write the embassy directly by post.

Let me explain that. Draft a withdrawal letter then copy Lagos and Abuja .

Use DHL to deliver. The letters should go to Abuja and Lagos simultaneously.

They should promptly act on any of this. No need for dragging online or anywhere. It's a very simple thing abeg.

Please get back to us.

Have a good day.

Than you.

Good evening, you all are doing a good work.

I filed my tourist application, my travel date is 25th Nov, 24. and returning date is 30th Nov 24.

Going to TLS for appointment, the available appointment date are only on Dec, proceeding to book appointment date, would this affect approval, considering departure date ?

Send an email to lagos.visa@esteri.it explaining the urgent need for your passport. They'll respond. At least it worked for me in the past.

Alternatively, you can go to TLS with the collection slip they gave you, fill out and sign the withdrawal column, they'll have your passport sent back to you.

Do not take that risk, it's very costly. I'll advise you fill a new form and adjust your travel dates to a new dates after the appointment dates, then fix another appointment.

Hello,
Gooday.
Please if you have a france Visit visa (2nd timer) and I enter through Germany, does this hinder my future france visas if I choose not to enter directly from France but from other Schengen countries?

Would the visa officers see anything wrong with not entering France with their visa? And wasting their visa?

Thank you

There's 90% possibility that you'll have problems at the POE in Germany. When filling your France visa form, they had asked you your point of first entry into the Schengen zone and you had filled FRANCE, that's why they granted you that visa. Go into through France, then go anywhere else you wish in the Schengen zone and avoid avoidable problems.

Leave that which you have doubt for that which there's no doubt at all. Simple Principle.
