Improve on your travel history and bank balance abit before applying. Workout your purpose of stay as well.

Schengen visa applications require proper preparation and documentation.

The sales is not that much but during the festive season I made a lot of money and kept 400k which is my gain in treasury bill for 3 month my capital as been pump back into my business and left my bank closing balance at 40k I don’t know if I can apply for the visa now because I plan to travel for May this year.

I don’t want to use any agent and I want my application truthful I would be glad if you can help me with the required documentation and visa fee.

Please any advise would be welcome.

An average two-week trip to Europe will cost you way more than your whole 400k.
Simply put, travel for tourism purposes is a luxury and you need to be able to show the embassy that you can afford luxury.

For specific costs, take your time and use the internet to research (e.g. cost of round-trip plane tickets from Lagos to Paris, Lagos to Madrid, etc, cost of hotel stays, Airbnb stays,etc.), then extrapolate to your earnings.

Morning guys.

We thank God for Journey mercies.

We all came back sick, may be because of the cold, cos most of the Parisians were coughing at public places and we probably contracted from them.

It was a mixed experience sha.
Awwwww, welcome back. I actually came to read your update. Hope you all are ok now?

By the embassy I assume u mean either French or Italian consulate. Generally they require minimum of 15 working days to process your application, however, some applications take less than that and some may take even more than that.

Larryzee:
Thanks everyone on Nairaland n happy new year to you all. I’m a silent reader here but I’m very moved to post for the first time.

I’m based in Johannesburg n been to Paris twice n got my third visa and at the same time helped over 8 guys get both France and Netherlands visa. In October I sent copies of all my visas and bank statements for my ‘then fiancée’ who’s based In Nigeria in order for her to apply for hers so we could go for honeymoon this January.

First Application we submitted:
Visa form
Passport photo
Employment and leave approval letter
Three months bank statement
Travel insurance
No objection letter from her parent
My bank statements
Copy of all my visas and datapage
Wedding IV card
Hotel and flight reservation.

Submitted 20th October n it got rejected on the 29th on basis that ‘justification for the reason of travel not reliable’. ‘ Now we are married on 19th December’

We then reapplied on the 20th December with;
Visa form
Photograph
Travel insurance
Flight reservation
Hotel
Employment n leave letter
6 months bank statement
Registry marriage certificate
5 pictures taken at the registry
My visa copies
Bank statement
NOC from her parents
Tour packages
Cover letter and a sponsorship letter from me.

And yesterday 3rd, we went to go collect her passport from Vfs Lagos and boom she got her One Month multiple entry new visa. I’m elated n haven’t gotten over it yet.

For anyone out there who was denied before, don’t relent. Add more docs and you’re good to go.

Short answer: By making payment.

Generally hotel companies give period of days before they will cancel your reservation if you fail to make payment.

However, the length of days will depend on the customer. Some travel agencies can secure a longer days reservations even without paying the money.

Definitely Short stay tourist visa.

Generally, the schengen requirements are the same for all countries.

Completed application form

Travel insurance that covers your entire stay in the schengen area.

A round flight reservation that show return to your country of residence.

Proof of employment and proof of subsistence

And Proof of accommodation in the schengen area (Hotel booking etc). For this part, your host should be able to provide a sufficient proof that he will accommodate you during your stay in addition to sending you an invitation.

And ohh the Italy visa fee (20,400)is slightly lesser than French (20,835).

How easier it will be for you to get all this

Choice is yours.
