royal231: Upon submitting the documents, they took my fingerprints & payment and was told to come back after two weeks. No other interview was done except the phone call. In addition, I was not told to come for another interview upon my return. |

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Obiwannn: 1:37am On Apr 15, 2015 |
olaopts: THANKS.... I HAVE SOME UNCLEAR nitty-grittys with the procedure mentiioned listed below: The certificate of accommodation is compulsory. No Hotel reservation is accepted. The accommodation certificate must mention : a. your name b. the address of the accommodation c. the dates covering the duration of your course. does this mean i have to look for and pay for accommodation that covers the entire duration of my stay (1year) right here from Nigeria? if the accommodation i am to pay for is lets say a month or two, how do I look for it? secondly, All proofs of yours or the sponsor’s financial status : bank statement (Last 3 months) , salary , act of property etc… / Originals + 2 photocopies can I use someone not related to me by blood as a sponsor and present his/her account statement? let's say my father's friend or pastor for example, because this was mentioned in the site: Attestation of sponsorship and a letter explaining the link with him (family link must be attested with births certificates) / Original + 2 photocopies... Moreso, I think I would be getting one of these partial scholarships: one of them is worth 8,000euros anually, the other is worth 4,000 euros and additionally the program provides paid internship amounting to 2750euros for students in the second semester of their studies. Meaning I could get lucky and be able to count on either 10,750euros or 8,750euros to help myself with in France. How does any of the above help my application considering the fact that finances is trying to be a stumbling block (GOD FORBID) for my application. ALso what is the minimum amount one is required to have to successfully study a one year program in France? Thanks for your anticipated response. PS: the program is tuition-free |

Obiwannn: In response to your question:- 1. Does this mean i have to look for and pay for accommodation that covers the entire duration of my stay (1year) right here from Nigeria? Yes, that’s right. You have to look for an accommodation that covers the duration of your study. The property owner may collect a month deposit or so (depending on their terms). You can search online for room or ask your school for assistance. 2. Can I use someone not related to me by blood as a sponsor and present his/her account statement? It is always advisable to use an immediate family (father, mother, brother or sister with the same surname as your sponsor), this reduces any doubt the consular may have in regards to your sponsor. However, you can also use someone else as your sponsor as long as you have all the relevant documents and letter from the person. 3. What is the minimum amount one is required to have to successfully study a one year program in France? The money in your sponsor’s bank account must cover food, accommodation, transport, books e.t.c. I hope this helps? |

Hi, i'm thinking of applying for a French tourist Visa. I am a Medical Doctor and i have about two weeks off next month. I have a valid 2 year British visa and i intend on staying in London for a couple of days then go to Paris for three days during my work break. I have never been and i hear it is fun and beautiful. I love to travel but that green passport won't let someone be great. lol. I am going to be sponsoring the trip myself. i am 27. Single. I have about 1M in my Savings account. Salary is about 150k but i still get some money from my parents sometimes plus i had money saved up while i was in school as a student. My Salary is being paid into my account and i take out a sum and save up in another account. I however don't have payslips - as seen as part of the requested documents on their site- because it takes forever for pay slips to be ready where i work. The only pay slip is have is for December 2014 and i think that is because i got paid my first salary then ( I started working in November 2014 ). I have been to England before in the past. I intend on booking a ticket from Lagos-London-Paris-Lagos. is that okay? Also,would my not having the pay slips affect my chances really because i think that is where i am lacking. ( All the other documents required i have/can get). That plus i have been denied a Netherlands Airport Transit visa before ( weird right ) and a Shengen visa from Slovakia about 4 years ago. Just a bit paranoid here. Thank you. |

Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by amdekola: 11:55pm On Apr 23, 2015 |
Endoscope: Uhmm, just a lil advice, before booking your travel be sure to have gotten the french visa. I would not suppose you'd have a problem since your finances are in shape. While a UK visa doesn't allow free entry to France, you can come in without a visa by Bus from London to some city in Northern France e.g Lille ![]() |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by tzetzefly(m): 8:47am On Apr 24, 2015 |
Endoscope: From all I can deduce from your statements, you have a slim fighting chance. Prior UK travel can help your case however, two previous Schengen denial doesn't look good. What transpired in your previous Schengen applications? |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Endoscope: 9:23pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
tzetzefly: The first was an Airport transit visa from the Netherlands embassy. I had to travel to Lagos real quick and had to use KLM and get an airport transit visa which was denied. The second was from the Slovakian embassy. it was one summer and a bunch of my friends wanted to travel and we decided to go through them cos we heard it was easy. Apparently, it wasn't. They did not give an reason as to why they denied us anyway. Both denial stamps are on my passport. This happened in 2011. 1 Like |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by tzetzefly(m): 7:21pm On Apr 25, 2015 |
Endoscope: I want to believe that your purpose for entry to the Schengen area may not have been well articulated on those two previous occasions. Another reason could be that your means of sustenance was not convincing and not adequate to show enough proof of funds. You will need to be very clear as it is now on why an entry visa should be issued to you and previous refusals overlooked. |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Endoscope: 7:56pm On Apr 25, 2015 |
tzetzefly: Oh! Are you suggesting i explain both circumstances in my new application? Both stamps are on an expired passport anyway. The valid British Visa is on the valid international passport. |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by tzetzefly(m): 9:16pm On Apr 25, 2015 |
Endoscope: You cannot explain this as your details are with them. You only need to prove that you're a genuine applicant now, willing to depart the Schengen region at the expiration of your stay. |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Endoscope: 4:46pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
tzetzefly: Yeah. I guess. Definitely willing to depart. Work has been super stressful and i need a vacation. Going to London for a while and would like to visit somewhere else. Oh well. But the no pay slips, can i explain that? Pay slips are not ready on time @tzetzefly |

what conference did u apply for?whats their website?thanks olaopts: |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by tzetzefly(m): 8:23am On Apr 27, 2015 |
Endoscope: Get your payslips, this is important. That's why they state that give ample time for your application. Which in turn would have made it possible to gather all required documents before filing. |

tzetzefly Nice to see you here again, thought you lost your nairaland password ![]() |

Hello fam... Quick one pls, i got a France Visa in Dec that ran for 3months, expired march 24th 2015, sadly i couldnt use the visa. Reason was, my 1month hoils from work was frm 22nd dec to 25th Jan, so i arrived london 23rd, so the plan was to go to paris by train from london and my date to arrive france was from boxing day 26th, and that was about the period they had terrorist attack, charlie sthg ![]() Would i be granted if i re-apply when i can go again? |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by tzetzefly(m): 6:39pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
Vuitton007: Let the ECO know the reason why you couldn't make your trip that it was due to the counter terrorism situation in Paris at the time (Charlie Hebdo shooting). |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Endoscope: 6:56pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
tzetzefly: Oh wow. That is going to be hard cos its the government that does the pay slips and they are super slow in making them available ( i work for the Lagos state government ). I requested for them and they claimed its the pay slip for December 2014 that is available. They however paty our salaries directly into our accounts. That should count for something i guess. We also have this audit forms where we fill in bank details and departments we are working. Will that be helpful? Except i explain all this, i either don't apply cos recent pay slips won't be available by the time i'm on a work leave. What do you think? |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by tzetzefly(m): 7:41pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
Endoscope: If you can get a letter to this effect from the Lagos State Government, it will go a long way in helping your case. Your application must be foolproof. |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Endoscope: 9:00pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
tzetzefly: Well, that's going to be hard. Maybe i should just forget this trip. Getting the Hospital ( Lagos state gov hospital ) to write a letter concerning payslips is going to be another hurdle or even impossible. Work break is end of next month. That's pretty much the only thing i don't have. Except maybe i apply through the italian embassy. |
Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by tzetzefly(m): 6:43am On Apr 28, 2015 |
Endoscope: All Schengen territories have virtually the same visa criteria. Payslip is required. However, if you have a bank statement instead with a column showing your salary month by month, highlight this in a separate sheet along with your application. 1 Like |
