You’re welcome.

Tank u madam , well explained, u are a good teacher 😊
You’re welcome.
Very informative! Nice video. I have a quick question, France Embassy represents many Schengen countries where those countries don't have Consulate or Embassy, do you think France take decision on behalf those countries or thoses countries take their decisions themselves?
Thanks allot. Very informative.
My pleasure.
@@thewakaholic If you paid your airline ticket, accommodation, places to visit, is it still necessary to have the whole amount of money of the cost of your trip in your bank account??
@@reneeellis9228 You should have more, plus a good record of sustainable periodic inflow.
Well explained thanks a lot
You’re welcome
this video is wonderful.
Thank you
Thank you so mùch
Well detailed
Hi Oto, thank you so so much for this detailed video
So my question is; for the proof of funds, does the money have to be there all at once at the time of application? Or do they just need to see transaction from the account?
Also, I don’t have any employment and I work and have a business. But I only registered it with the CAC last month but my account has the transaction for all the funds that use to come to my company so I was wondering if I could show a CAC document but show the transaction from a Personal account
Finally, for the proof of funds again, does it all have to come from one account or can I show them statement from more than one account
Becusee I have a target account and a current account
You need to have money too on the day you submitted your application. You can have multiple statment as longer are in your names
Great video! The issue I'm having is with the submission website after filling the form. It does not appear to be working
Thank you so much for the content, I just finished my 3month training on Travels and tours, but I was not taught on the process of getting visas from different countries. You talk about traveling to 5 continents, please can you make videos for me about their visa processing? Thanks 🙏🏿
There are videos on this channel for some countries. Watch them.
Then go to my travel blog www.wakaholic.com to read about others. Use the applicable keywords to search.
@@thewakaholic please can you assist me with a sample of cover letter, and travel itinerary?
@@alfalaqconsult Unfortunately, I can’t. You need to prepare one for yourself which is peculiar to your circumstances. That way, you’ll avoid duplicating mine.
Nice one and looking Gud ✅
Thanks

Hi sisters Otto thank you for the video you really helped me and others.but can you just explain to me about how to proof the hotel accommodation to the embassy.

Am curious what if I wanna travel but am not eligible for vacation days from my employer? Am so sad like I got caught up is there another way?
Thank you so much Oto for this much and reliable information, is it possible to apply for school while taking tours with the Schengen tourist visa and how possible is it to convert it to a student visa?
Thank you 🙏
Unlikely.
Thanl you do much ma
Thanks alot please can you tell us about working visa requirements
@@ChrisNnaemezie-tv1dj The focus here is tourism.
What are the documents ,I will need if my father is sponsoring everything please?
Great video.. Do you think applying for schengen visa at the French embassy is easier?
Not necessarily.
Please can you do a video on how to apply for uae visa ,I want to do it myself
Good video 😊.
Thanks
Hey sis, thanks so much for the information very helpful. Please I have a question, I do have a registered business but I am yet to open my business account, but my personal account is as good with some good money entering. I also have a domiciliary account, can I use them instead? I am planning a vacation for my family of 6 to France. Please sis, I need your response. Shalom.
Yes, you can.
Thank you so much for this Video. But please is there a way you can help me with a cover later and how long can I wait to reapply after been denied a Schengen visa.
For guidance on how to write a compelling cover letter, watch this video 👉 ua-cam.com/video/CGI-J0DAmKY/v-deo.htmlsi=IHFXM0CJV_FfdecP
You can reapply whenever there is a significant change in your circumstances.
Hi Oto,
Thank you for sharing, I have a virgin passport so please to build a good travelling history which of the countries do you prefer or think is appropriate?
Go for countries with ‘easier’ visa processes who issue stamped visas. To mention a few, Kenya, South Africa, Turkey etc. You can also consider travels to other visa-free destinations in North, East or central Africa as well as the Middle East.
@@thewakaholic Thanks!
Hi Oto,
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I just want to ask, is there anyway I can make flight reservation without payment for longer than 48 hours?
I ask this because you mentioned NOT paying for a flight ticket until you get a visa. I am concerned because all the reservations I have come across seem to expire after a short period if payment is not confirmed. Will this not affect the visa decision; that is if the visa officer tries to verify your ticket reservation and the result comes back as nil?
Depends on the airline policy. Unpaid reservations are cancelled by airlines after the given time. However, you can still present the itinerary for the purpose of planning your trip.
@@thewakaholic good evening madam,can I contact you directly I have some questions i need to ask?
@@justiceigwe5656 Send an email to thewakaholic@gmail.com.
Thank you for this. I’m going on a family trip, do I have to apply for everyone individually or how can I put it all in one application
Yes
@Oto Tom do i necessarily have to write a cover letter after I wrote an introductory letter explaining my plans and sponsor ?
Your introduction letter is your cover letter sir.
Please I apply for a German Schengen Visa from the German Consulate in lagos, please how will i know when my visa is ready, am I getting a mail or will I just receive it back from DHL without any notice, because there's no way to track my application.
@Oto Tom do I necessarily have ti go to the bank , for bank statements or download it from my app as there is strike and I don't know when it will end ?
You are free to do as you please. The embassy will either accept or reject it.
If you want to err on the side of caution, then you should obtain a signed/stamped copy from your bank.
VERY NICE ONE BABE
Hello ma, I have an invitation and a sponsorship form signed by my friend in Netherlands who is a citizen . Have been out of country for Msc. But I currently work as a volunteer with no income. Should I support my documents with my mom account as a sponsor and my certificates? And my admission letter for fall semester in the USA? Thanks
If your mother is sponsoring your trip, then she should provide the proof of funds. It may also help to include a cover letter explaining the reason for your trip and why she is sponsoring it.
Also provide details of your academic pursuits including evidence of advance payment of fees if available.
Both it also means that I can book for more that one hotels for the 21 days in every place I will be passing a night right,
Yes.
Welldone Oto 😊
Thank you
Great job! Please how do you go about the flight itinerary without paying for it?
You can contact a ticketing agent to do it for you. Find one.
Thanks for your information but my question is that where would one apply for the visa , is it online or they have office I mean France embassy, thank you
Through the visa application center, after you have followed the steps I mentioned in the video.
Hi oto i really enjoyed your class ma. Ma please how do i get a genue agent.
Hello,

Nigerians, they don’t do things for free no matter what
@@anyasmiller806 This video is a free resource. If you apply yourself to it, then you shouldn’t need my help.
But if you’re mentally lazy and you expect someone else to do the work for you, then it’s absolutely fair to pay for solutions.
@@thewakaholic I agree with you
@@thewakaholic not mentally lazy as you put it but someone would prefer expert advice from a professional.
Hello I live in lagos please is it in VfS lagos one will book an appointment to and Apply to. Or the French Embassy in VI
VFS, Lekki.
Hi, I had one incorrect detail in my application form and have already submitted and appointment schedule in TLS. Can I amend or do I have to just submit a manual form on my appointment date?
Changes cannot be made to the form after submission.
I have a question for example I apply for 2 weeks do they just give those 2 weeks or more days
You will be added with more days maybe extra 2 weeks which make total of 4 weeks. These extra days gives you flexibility and arrange your travel but you should stay for only 2 weeks that you applied for.
Very interesting but u did not drop the link as you said
@@CindyChance Did you check the ‘Description Box’?
Please am a Ghanaian. My passport expired when I was in Turkey. The Ghana consulate in turkey issued another Ghana passport for me. What should I write at the ISSUED COUNTRY COLUMN on the Schengen visa application form...???
Your passport has the authority that issued it. Copy as indicated on your passport.
What of transit visa using shenanigans
hello. i have question, i will made invitation for my friend , and i need to proove my bank account. Will be enough, when i just transfer money on my account - make verifi dozument from bank and then i transfer money back? ??
No.
This was so helpful and informative thanks so much, I am leaving from SA please madam my question is do I need to add police clearance to my document, and what the minimum balance needs to be added to my bank statement
Unless a police clearance is specifically required in your circumstance, then you don’t need one for a tourist visa.
To find out how much you need in your bank account to apply for a visa, watch the video via this link 👉 ua-cam.com/video/nr7iedrh_Ts/v-deo.html
Please can you recommend an agent to me for flight itinerary?
hi what can I do if i cant show proof of a social-professional situation, would my travel itinerary be sufficient alone please ? thank you
No.
Thank you for the video
My question is Applying for Couples 💑
Do they need a separate Cover letter or One cover letter?
Separate letters.
@@thewakaholic thank you
Another thing is
Hotel reservation or Pre paid accommodation cos credit card details is required and an amount will be hold
Greay video
I am interested , direct me ways to go, I like noway
Hi Ota, thanks for this video. I need an advice.
Can I transform a Schengen visa to a residence permit? Reason is I want to move to the Netherlands but I work remotely for a company in Argentina and earn very well. I've even travelled to Argentina recently to attend the company's conference. But I don't want to move to Argentina, I want to move to Netherlands because I have friends there and I prefer it better than the Argentina. But however I can't apply for a student visa because I don't want to study (school don tire me). Or work visa cause I don't have a job in the Netherlands. How do I go about this? What's the best route for me to take?
My name is Oto, not Ota.
Most member states would not allow you convert a tourist visa to a residence permit.
Spend time online and research on the answers you seek. Our focus here is tourism.
Hi David,
My suggestion here would be to use the remote work visa provisions from countries within Europe to your advantage..if you earn quite a bit then there's options around the schegen area like remote visa provisions to work in Czech, Estonia, Portugal, Malta, Spain and Croatia. Iceland
Probably find the closest location to the Netherlands..
From one of these countries you can easily get to the Netherlands not permanently though.. you go and come and it's pretty cheap moving around Europe in budget airlines, buses or trains
If you wanna move permanently though you gotta find a job or school in the Netherlands and go from there..

Hello I need some information about Portugal tourist visa.
Have you visited the visa application portal?
Hello, im still wary about booking flights - i dont know of any travel agents
You don't need an agent. Go to the airline of choice, book and put on hold. KLM will send you a booking confirmation which you can use. ET had that option before but it seems it is not available anymore.
Hello madam your videos is helpful thanks but how can I create a detailed intinary
I explained this in the video. Did you watch it?
I have a question for example I apply for 2 weeks do they just give those 2 weeks or more dsys
They have the discretion to determine the duration of your visa. You select a ‘short term’ or ‘long term visa’ but they determine how many days or months you get - which would certainly cover the duration of your proposed trip.
Please do i need a cover letter in addition to the introductory letter from work and the invitation letter from my host?I'm a civil servant going for a visit in Germany.
@@Linda-cg4sj No you don’t need it. However, I recommend it.
@@thewakaholic Thank you
Hello Oto,
My wife and I are applying for a France Schengen visa from the UK for our Honeymoon This June..I want to ask if we need to fill a separate France visa application form because I want us to attend the Interview together. How do we achieve that please? Do we fill just one France application form or Two separate ones...Thanks.
Yes, you should complete separate visa application forms and schedule your submissions the same time.
Hi how are you
I want ask about if you want apply for a student Schengen visa to Belgium is it the same procedure as the tourist visa
Basically, yes. However, the documentary requirement would be different.
Hello ma'am 👋🏼 is it okay to attach both intro letter as a business owner and a cover letter? Or one of them?
Your introduction letter is your cover letter. One and the same thing.
@@thewakaholic thank you so much
Hi I’m a student from China about applying for Schengen visa please tell me can I use my aunt bank statement who’s over France bring it to the consulate or embassy ? showing them they would support my travel during all days I will spend there
Include it as your supporting document.

Okay
Hi, a friend wants to sponsor my trip, will my visa be granted if I use the friends bank statement?
No. You also need to show proof of strong ties to your home country and justify the purpose of your intended trip.
What are the documents I will need if my father is sponsoring everything (He is citizen of the European country)?
His financial record, passport, and a letter stating that he is sponsoring your trip and why.
What documents can i provide to show my tie! I was denied a Portuguese schengen visa because the embassy doubt i will come back to my home country
Did you watch the video? I believe I covered this extensively in the video. Watch it.
@@thewakaholic Alright seen, what do yoj advice should i still stick to the shengen tourist visa in subsequent application or do business visa. Was recently denied a tourist visa in Portugal
@@alexifidon5250 Unfortunately I cannot advise you as I do not know the purpose of your trip.
@@alexifidon5250 what was the main purpose for refusal
1.Please can you recommend me and insurance company where I can get certificate in Lagos. ?
2. Is it most to spend a day or days in France before continue my journey to my destination?
No, I can’t. You can use any reputable insurance company you know.
You’re at liberty to schedule your trip as you want.
Hello Oto Tom, Please I want to attend a professional course at a certain University that will last for 1 week. Please what type or category of Visa should I apply for?
Check the visa application portal of the country you intend to apply to.
@@thewakaholic hi, I checked already but still being confused if I should apply for a tourist or a study visa. That why am ask you may have idea
Hello, is that the procedure in all countries or for specific countries?
Take the lessons with you.
Hi Oto, please if someone wants to visit lithuania for a tourist visa and has written a cover letter for her intended stay apparently there is no lithuania embassy in nigeria however the visa processing is handled by belgium embassy, now my question is who do one address the cover letter to? since it the embassy of belgium that is handling the processing
Lithuania.
Thanks. Appreciate this so much.
Does that mean is Belgium embassy will issue the visa. Is the applicant going to enter Belgium first or just travel straight to Lithuania
@abidoyezainab2088 No. Lithuania would issue the visa not Belgium. You can go straight to Lithuania.
@Oto Tom , what if i am a salary worker , don't have that much money but have a sponsor that can guarantee for me
Then you have to explain your relationship with your sponsor and why they are paying for your trip.
Thank you madam ethiopian citizens can apply scehngen visa?
Yes you can
Hey dear,,,thanks for the video....my question is,,I'm sponsored by a polish friend and I don't have a job ...can that affect my visa application
Possibly.
Hi Ota...
Please I have an uncertainty, I'm inviting my friend over to Spain...relating to apartments, the friend is not staying in my house cos it's a family house so I rented an apartment in the same city, as a second apartment with my name...
Would that be a problem 🤔? Cos I always see online that it's either hotel/hostel or my apartment...
Hello. My name is Oto, not Ota.
I don’t see an issue there. You mentioned that the apartment is rented in your name.
Oh thank you very much, I'm sorry for the wrong name.
Very much appreciated.
Hey
Plz do i need to submit my university leave or status letter is enough
Please use your discretion. Whatever you think is sufficient as proof.
Please dear, can you present the embassy with two bank statements? One naira account and a dollar account ?
Yes you can.
Hello, i am a english teacher from Sénégal, went to the USA before under a J1 visa, exchange program, have enough funds and wanna try Schengen visa for the vacations. Do i have really chance to get it ? Thanks
You will find out when you apply.
Hi. Great video. I’m a student in the uk and I’ve been trying to book an appointent date but there’s no available date on the vfs site . Do you know if there’s any other way I can get dates like walk-in?
No.
The reason I ask is because I will be landing France 🇫🇷 but I will only stay 5 days before touching down to Austra the Netherlands and Sweden 🇸🇪 so it basically meals that I will have reservations in this other states right, also hope it those not mean if I book for only 5 days reservation in the first entry
You need a reservation for all 21 days that you will stay in the Schengen area. Include one that reflects what is on the itinerary you present to the embassy.
Thank you God bless
Thank you Madam,I am applying for one at the moment(Switzerland).I would like to know;at what point am I to pay the Visa fees (I have been given a date for visa application submission and yet no talk of the payment)?on the day of appointment, how long does the submission and finger print collection take (I am looking at the possibility of returning to lagos same day).Your response will be much appreciated.
Did you read instructions? Payment will be made at the visa application center.
Yes you can submit same day and be done in less than an hour if you book the premium service, or a few hours for the standard service. It will depend on the number of people present.
Thank you so much Madam .
