So many things on the internet says when there is REF on subject and all that... But to be honest to me I dont believe but they could be right who am i to say there theory is wrong ; just my opinion.

Good luck..

Thanks for your response bro. I have read such comments too that when u have a ref no u have been issued a visa. I have such reference. However I trust God. I might go to their office on tues tho

tunderule2016:
Bruv... you are in 2016 , you do not need to hold cash....
I will tell you a funny scene that happened to me ...

After checking in my luggage's, went thru immigration which took forever and my blood dey hot... as i was dressing up back since we were asked to take off belt and co... i noticed some officers stopping ppl in front asking some questions...

SO walking down to my gate ... so they stopped me ... there were 3 stands, one spoke to me in a very nice way and i decided to give them something as they were polite... as i was leaving the third stand called me , i dont know who they were or whatsoever...

First thing he asked me is How much are u carrying , I said nothing, he was trying to talk too much i just told him one sentence... excuse me i am not required to carry cash and i showed him my ATMS (Barclays, GTB, ACCESS bank) and i told him i do not need to carry cash since my ATM are perfectly working ... so they changed there tone and say sir please find something for us and i said sorry i have no money and i left...

One thing i notice here is if they see you are first timer and they notice you do not know what u r saying they will take advantage of you so please speak like u know what u r saying... do not let them take advantage of you ... It is only in Nigeria airport you will be asked all this stupid questions...

Also be careful with this BALL boys( that is what i call them) they check your passport before you check-in your luggage.. this ones are just idiots excuse my french.... they act like they know something...most times i just give them my passport and ignore them and let them fool themselves... One time, i was traveling to South Africa and the guy said my visa was fake BLAH BLAH.... i said dude dont waste my time... to cut the long story short... he said most nigerians do not know how to defend their self ... and he was asking me for money ... I just ignored him... aside this two , you are fine...

You are going to face another experience so bruv... enjoy it.

fizzile:
Bro, thats not what he is talking about. I think he means some money he could use immediately he gets to UK. Probably to pay maybe a taxi or to buy somethings urgently...not necessarily to give out to "Ball boys".

£350 is more than enough self. just hold few #200mint notes for the hungry guys in naija airport (if you wish to be guy man) and hold little pounds, in your pocket oh not your check-in luggage, wich will be enough for layover snacks, transport from LHR to your hotel then frequently use your MasterCard for all other expenses while in the UK. Caveat; you can spend more than $300(or £ equivalent) per day!

By the way, which airline tickets & at Wat price as at Wen did you book?
Bon voyage

iblaw:


PLEASE NOTE: Diamond bank stopped usage of Naira debit card with immediate effect sometime last week, Standard Chartered will stop 1st June and Stanbic IBTC has reduced daily limit to $100 so PLEASE check with your bank before you travel

dave07:
Thank you sir, will look into it, am not just a fan of seating long in airports in the name of connecting flight.
I also saw Medview now runs a direct flight to LGW airport. Anybody's got any experience on this route?
@justwise, you are sure doing a good job on this forum though I hate to admit you let the pressure get to you at times, but you still remain one of the more rational mods on NL, just try and understand imperialebony &phardy view points. Even in the most perfect human system, imperferctions can still be spotted and this include the UK system. Furthermore both of you (justwise and imperialebony) are providing good counsels on this page, pls let there be no bad blood biko.

Thanks for your Response,
i wish to fly Medview airline...

Congrats.I don't think you should worry about where to stay. Cancel your hotel reservation if you decide not to stay there and collect your money, unless its non refundable, then you can stay for a night or 2 at the hotel before going to your aunt's. Since you said you have an aunt in the UK, you can put down her address at the port of entry.

Hello my people,
My question is that : WHAT ARE D SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS MY SISTER WILL NEED TO SUPPORT WITH MINE.
Thanks in advance

anikkyshaya:
Hello my people, please kindly help me with dis questions. Am living in Uk with my family but i want to invite my sister to come and visit me because is been 10 years we have seen last and use that opportunity to do her wedding shopping. She's working with the salary of 120,000 Naira, she has 1 million in her account, she's been working 8 months now, Am sponsoring all her travels dis include ( accommodation, flight, food, visa fees e.t.c ) all money she need is for are shopping. I know all d nesseary documents I will provide for example( invitation letter, payslip, bank statement, tenant agreement, passport data, e.t.c)

Sorry is very long am just trying to cover all d areas of d questions you may been asking me.


My question is that : WHAT ARE D SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS MY SISTER WILL NEED TO SUPPORT WITH MINE.

Thanks in advance

tunderule2016:
if you intend to sponsor, then she just need to get document that shows strong ties with Nigeria e.g properties, work documents , assets, shares documents, landed properties, family, marriage..


My personal opinion, will be she should sponsor herself.... but you should support with accommodation... since she has funds in her account...
She can also include the wedding ceremony documents... like invitation cards... etc..

worry359:


The usual big thing.
Strong proof that she will return home.
So look for letter from her employer stating that she will return to her job on such and such date.
Any property.
Any other proof she has.

Although you are paying, her stable and healthy bank account help. I gives something to return to.

anikkyshaya:

Thanks sir, definitely d employer is going to give her leave letter states start date and returning to work from d leave, as have said b4 that d only asset she has is landed property. Is that enough? If not what other things she can get now apart from d ones u mention as I want to put in for her in August. Thanks once again sir.

nairacountry:


A 120k paying job, balance of 1m in acct, wedding around the corner etc give your sister a sound tie to naija. She stands a good chance
As Tunderule said, include her wedding iv, intro pics, leave letter from coy, ALL necessary docs from you as earlier stated etc.
Finally, post wat her budget looks like here for people input.
Best wishes to her and a HML in advance
