Greener222 just wanted to add I was going to spend just 7 days in Paris but meanwhile stop by on the 5th day to meet my woman but unfortunately

greeners222:
@def: your application is now how many working days th you've submitted.

koolmd:
Hello house, has any nairalander visited Paris after the terror attack? I will be visiting in 2 weeks time for Christmas (tourism) and wanted to know if anything has changed with respect to border clearance/passport control particularly now when everyone is scarred of terrorist attacks...

Aibisoye0:
Hello house,
I will like to apply for Schengen visa via France. Been to UK, UAE, Ghana. Have a valid UK and US visas. How do i go about getting flight booking? I can do hotel from booking.com. Do they need a paid flight booking or just regular booking done on wakanow. Book on hold?

koolmd:
Aibisoye01, you don't need a paid flight booking, book the flight on hold and submit with your application. That's all you need.

koolmd:
@Aibisoye, kindly stick to the reason, if you have an invite and that's what you're presenting, then stick to that otherwise if its for tourism then you normally do not need any invite (I usually prepare an itinerary using tripit.com although VFS will not collect it to include in your application pack but it may sometimes be helpful at the Point of Entry when you apply as a tourist).

For me, with your travel history, you stand a very good chance of getting your visa if you apply as a tourist. The last Schengen visa through France I applied for took exactly 21 days i.e. 03/09/2015 and I got a delivery sms alert on 23/09/2015.

Pls advice, by Friday this week, i should have all my docs for visa renewal with france rdy. though i have 2 isssues:
first is, i dint use my first french visa wich ran from dec2014 to mar2015, my hoils was in dec/jan and there was terrorist attack at the time so i cudnt go even from london, and i nvr had another hoils to use the visa, so it expired. though i intend to write a letter as part of my application stating why i couldnt use the visa, would this b ok?

second is: i leave nigeria on the 23rd dec, if i submit by friday, for renewal, are there chances it would be out before my travel date??

favoredgal:

It can't be out befor the 23rd of dec

It takes at least 1 month or more to process depending on the level of applications

Vuitton007:



Thanks amill, how about if i pay for priority to have it fast tracked??
please you know how much and how long?

promise2:
@Vuitton007: what do you mean by priority to have your application fast track? Since you have got previous french visa i believe your application this time will not take long, though the fact you didn't use your previous visa is a flag but please explain to the consulate in details and let it be convincing, your application may not take time to process but act fast as they will soon go on Christmas Holidays. i just applied on 25th November 2015 and got my visa on 4th of December 2015.Good luck to you.

greeners222:
@Kayhummer. do you have any travel history on your passport. or was it a Virgin passport.
