My port is out! And a decision was reached after exactly fifteen working days! I received the SMS and email notification on Monday 20th August. In fact, I am tracking delivery of our ports on UPS website. If not for these public holidays on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd, I would have known our fate by Wednesday at the latest. I have never wished for public holidays to move faster in my life! I'm staying positive. I have to hold my Schengen visa in my hands and proceed to explore Europe!

Bro! Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you!

I can't concentrate on anything! Just generally apprehensive!

Someone on this thread reported that tourist visas are much more difficult to get now. Business and student visas are the preferred categories.

And I applied for a 30-day tourist visa!

On 27 July, 2018, I applied to the Italian Consulate for 30 days multiple entry Schengen visas for my wife and I to enable us attend a conference in Rome, and for a 3-week vacation thereafter to , London (outside Schengen hence the request for multiple entry visas), Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Greece. I regret not paying for VIP service at the VFS office in Lekki We were there for 5 hours! Meanwhile VIP is completed in less than 30 minutes! NEVER AGAIN! The fifteen working days have expired and we have not heard anything. is this delay normal? It used to be the norm in the past but I understand that they have computerised and sped things up a bit at the Italian Consulate.

Exactly as advised by IMUSTRETURN. Please pay N10k for VIP Service and leave in less than 30 minutes if you don't want to spend 5 hours there!

how can I pay it ? From the gate ?

Paying for VIP is just a waste of money while the service is only for the VFS to access your documents sharp sharp and after that you will still wait for normal days to hear from the Embassy through VFS.

Well, I see your point. Especially when compared to TLS 's express 7 days express visa. However, the 5 hours I spent at VFS was a far greater waste than N10k. I could certainly have spent that time better. If not because I had a backlog of The Economist magazine on my phone, I'm sure the wait could've been much worse! After wasting 3 hours, I went to a VFS supervisor and said I was ready to pay for VIP. The supervisor lady told me that it was too late and that I should just endure since I was already being processed.

This is the breakdown:

Visa Fee: N21,900.00
VFS Service Fee: N8,400.00
SMS: N400.00+N50.00
Courier: N4,150.00
Lounge: N10,000.00
Total: N44,900.00
