Schengen Visa Application for Nigerian Passport

Post by namaste121 » Wed Mar 12, 2014 3:13 pm

Hi all

I would like some advice, i have a nigerian passport and i applied for the Schengen visa at the German embassy in London. When applying i was missing some documents so i had to come back on a later date.

After applying i was told it would take a minimum of 14 working days, but i only have 12 days before my travel.

Has anyone had this experience before and received their passport earlier?


Any help would be greatful

Visa processing times do vary based on nationality & also visa type. When I applied for a business Schengen visa at the German vfs centre (via company visa agent) in February it was actually processed within 2 days, even though I was told it could take up to 5 working days. I am not however, a Nigerian passport holder.

More likely it will take 14 days. It was in my case with the French. But you never know.
