I will advice to the best of my knowledge. I hope Justwise addresses this too. I will be stating Positives and Negatives. Negative 1. Acquiring a new passport doesn't overwrite the fact that you've previously overstayed in a country and as far as I know, you need to mention this in your application to avoid ban(I hear say if you lie, you get ban) 2. The stated salary is very poor( if that's the pay slip you'd be presenting) 3. Did you lie about your overstay or old passport when you applied for the student visa? POSITIVES 1.If you can provide your company licence + 2. If you can provide tax papers and proof of day to day transactions + 3. If you can provide a company account statement+ 4. Provide a bank statement which states how much you pay yourself monthly from the company (Should be better money) 5. Provide strong invitation letter( there should be a strong reason why you need to visit UK other than Holiday) (if you have anyone who works in public sector .EG a doctor,lawyer,police,military, or a clergy) or you can find a conference that's related to what your company does or get a strong invite for a business meeting. 6. Your salary certificate should state how much you earn, reason for travelling and when you joined the company 7.Add other things that can solidify your ties with Naija. please add more. shanga:
Hi Gurus in the house. Thanks for the advice giving to me the last time I asked some questions, I have to work on myself and now I think I am ready to apply for a UK visa now, Previously on my old passport I have over stayed my south Africa visa and I registered my company(Enterprise)and I have been building my account and paying tax to ogun state government, but my firm was registered in Benin city, I decided to pay the tax in Ogun state because I could not afford to pay the required tax in Benin ,because it was too high, and i registered this firm 2016 and pay the tax and registered this company for the purpose of traveling to Europe with ease, and I spent 9 months in Kenya in 2017.
I was advice on this forum that I will be refused visa cus of my over stay south Africa and also spending so much time in Kenya when I have a firm here in Nigeria, I have to let my old passport expire and I have renewed it…All the while I was in South Africa and Kenya, I was on study leave
I’m work with a federal government organization in Benin and I’m a junior staff that earn less than 40k per month and I have been working with the government for 9 years now, I have resume duty for a year now and I have pay slips and my salary is reflecting on my salary account .I’m married with a 2 years old and my firm has up to 5 million naira as of today and I make use of my salary immediately it comes in.
My problem now is that how will I be able to convince the C.O that I own a company in Ogun state and work in Benin City
There is a column in the form that asked about previous passport, I do not want to submit my old passport with my application because of the over stay stamp and visa
Can I take photocopies of the Kenya visa along; I did not over stay in Kenya because my visa was extended for the 9 months duration
And less I forget, I was refused a student visa in February 2009 and I also appealed and lost.
Please guys I really need to succeed this time and please I need all the advice I can get please and if I stand a chance to get a tourist visa if I apply, Thanks

You should have sent them a proof that you've left the country when you did by either scanning and showing them your stamped in passport to Nigeria. As it is now, the school may have sent a letter to the Home office notifying them of your abandonment from study or deferment of studies in addition to having 'advised' you to leave the country but you know naaa .....the school can't enforce your leaving the country so they will hand over that task to the Home office hence their issuing you a letter of curtailment. Did you respond back to that letter to let them know you left on your own free-will? Very important as it might prevent you entering the UK in the future. On the Canadian forms, you will have to enter YES (because of the letter of curtailment issued you) and try to explain the circumstances under which it was issued. Don't forget these countries communicate when it comes to issuance of Visas. The letter issued you by the school advising you to leave within 7-14 days is officially your notice of removal from the UK and must have been filed with the Home office.. ilovetraveling:
Good people of nairaland, Please I have a question.
I was a student in uk . I was doing my ACCA in london. My plan was to do MBA after ACCA. I came home for summer holiday in August 2014 after my acca, and i got a job in Nigeria.
September 2014,I sent a mail to my school to defer my admission for MBA because i got a job in nigeria, and they deferred it and also informed the home office that i am no longer a student.
The school advised I leave the country within 7 to 14 days, and I told them I left the country in August before i even deferred my admission. please note i left uk august and i deferred my admission September, so I was not in UK when I got that mail. I also got a curtailment mail from UK Home office.
The issue now is that I am applying for a canadian visa, and i was asked if i been ordered to leave a country?
Do you i tick yes or no
I will appreciate if someone can be of help 1 Like |

Thanks for your advice @eduson I have not over stay when i applied for the student visa in 2009 and I thought I do not need to pay myself a salary as sole business owner, I know the government salary is very poor, but I’m thinking it will help my application, but I can stick as a business owner only if the salary I earn with the government will complicate it eduson33:

im not the best to advice on this.(i don't know what type of business this is) but to the best of my knowledge, you need to pay yourself. and your business account should show that you are paying other employee as well.(unless its a self employed type of business) by so doing, it will make the business appear well structured and not a one mans thing that you can wake up one day and close it all up. all they want to know is that you will leave UK after your visit. shanga:
