@sholly, really sorry for responding pretty late on this issue, I would give you the basic requirements that you need to know about acquiring the Schengen visa.

As soon as you secure your visa, you must first travel to the Schengen Country that issued you the visa, before proceeding to any other Schengen Country.

List of Schengen Countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,Estonia, Finland, France,
                                     Germany,Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy,Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
                                     Malta,Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,Slovakia,Slovenia, Spain,
                                     Sweden, Switzerland.

My advise is that you will be able to process the visa by yourself remember my usual D-I-Y policy.

Now first of all get the following: - Valid International Passport
                                             - Coloured passport photograph(white background) Write your full names
                                               and sign at the back of it.
                                             - Confirmed Hotel reservation or Invitation Letter from France
                                             - Confirmed Return Tickets
                                             - Six Months Bank Statements
                                             - Letter of Introduction/Sponsor Letter from Company
                                             - Business Card
                                             - Three Clear photocopies of your passport data page
                                             - Also clear photocopies of previous Schengen Visas, UK, US, Canada    
                                               and Japan Visas.
                                             - Original Documents and clear photocopies of documents
                                             - If traveling as a Couple, include Marriage certificate
                                             - If traveling with Children you must include Birth Certificate from      
                                               National Population Commission

                                                Incl) is N5,625.00.
                                             - Children visa fee is N6,780.00 plus service charge as above.

Kindly carry the applicant's 1st page Passport photocopy while paying the service fee and the visa fee at the bank

                                              The above fee is non-refundable and non transferable

Dear Forumites,

I would like you to know is that each Country has the right to ask for any document as the yardstick for issuing a visa,some request for more documents that others.

Meanwhile, before you make any visa application, make sure you get your documents ready, visit the website of the Visa department and get all the requirements, visit the Embassies or Visa centres and make
your enquiries in person, be there live and direct. Ask all the questions you have about the details requested in the form and fill it accordingly.

Now prepare your documents, specified coloured passport photograph(some may insist on white background), valid international passport, bank statements usually six months, Certificate of Incorporation where a Company is involved, Marriage Certificate from Registry for Married applicants traveling with their spouses, Birth Certificates from National Population Commission for children traveling with parent and any additional documents the Visa section may require.

Each Embassy has its list of requirements.

Be prompt to the Embassy NO EXCUSES for lateness.

Present your documents and/or book your appointment dates for submission of your documents.

For procuring a US visa appointment from the comfort of your bedroom or office, I have packed a report
that will take you on a step by step procedures of how to get your appointment, where how other applicants waste over N15,000 for same.

Please do not hesitate to be in touch,

Cheers!

Dear Forumites,

What you must know about Visa. This is one of the most important part of traveling outside the shores of the Country.

A visa is a stamp or form placed in your passport when you enter, and sometimes when you leave, a foreign country. A form of permission for a non-citizen to travel to, enter, transit or remain in a particular country. Always remember not to exceed the validity of your visa as this will create big time problem for you in the future.

YOU MUST REMEMBER: A visa does not guarantee entry. That remains the right of the immigration officials of the country concerned.

This appears unbelievable but you must have that at the back of your mind, as it is very TRUE.

-Some countries may ask visitors to present return tickets and evidence of means to cover intended stay.

-Some countries refuse entry to visitors who do not comply with their requirements regarding general appearance and clothing.

-Some countries have compulsory currency exchange regulations on first entry.

Some Embassies are specific about the ink of the biro you will use in filling the Application forms, some insist that it must be a coloured photograph white background, please adhere to these instructions.

Be Confident, bold, calm and composed. Attend your interview and leave the result to God. Don't be desperate, just be optimistic of a positive result.

-Some Visas are issued at the point of entry into the Country and in such cases you must hold a return ticket.

More updates coming shortly.
Cheers!
