Read this and see if it helps: This page explains what documents you should have when coming to the United Kingdom as a general visitor. They are: =if you are employed, a letter from your employer granting leave of absence from your job for a specified period - the letter should also say how long you have been employed by that employer, in what job(s), and when you are expected back at work; =if you are self-employed, evidence of your business activities and financial standing; =evidence of any property you own in your home country; =if you are a student, a letter from your school or college stating the course you are on, its start and finish dates, and the dates of the holiday period when you intend to visit the United Kingdom; =evidence of any family or social ties and responsibilities to return to; =evidence of any firm travel plans you have made; =bank statements going back over a period of several months; and =evidence of savings available to you. |

Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by justwise(m): 8:57pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
@ksa-girl One of the most important thing here is to prove to the ECO that u will return to Nigeria after the 18days visit, evidence of any family or social ties and responsibilities to return to matters alot. Your dady can support your application with his bank statement or payslip and a letter stating that he will be responsible for your financial needs and that u will be coming back after your visit, using company's bank statement maybe not help cos he is not the owner. Or your cousin can send u letter of invitation with his bank statement or payslip to prove to ECO that he will be able to take care of u through out your stay. Please make sure all the documents are original. Not photocopies from an agent. Visit uk border agency website for more information. Please if i'm wrong let somebody add more. Good luck. |

justwise: my cousin is student so he cannot give me letter for sponsor. i have money in uk thousend pounds(draft) & return ticket .yes my father also gave the letter of responsibalities but dont have statement but he may gave me payslip. so what you think k i go tomorrow for submitt my application? |
Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by justwise(m): 9:18pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
ksa-girl: Ok, nobody can give u 100% assurance that the visa will be issued, the ECO has final decision, just submit and prepare for the interview. No need to panic. Good luck. |
Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by ELDERLAGON: 1:18am On Dec 13, 2009 |
To obtain the visa,you must prove to the ECO,and beyond any reasonable doubt of course,that your financial situation is stable and you have a well defined plan in Nigeria.What do you do at the moment?schooling or working?what does your father tend to gain by sponsoring your trip to the UK?Depending on the number of his dependents ,your sponsor must provide evidence of something like 800,000(3,100 GBP) in the account.If you are working or you are not within the school age(though this is not the official position of the High Commission,cases have revealed that the ECOs consider some ages not realistic to be in school,hence they have negative dispositions , ),please ensure you are the one sponsoring yourself.If you have not got the money I have mentioned in your account,please do not be in a hurry to submit the application.You can take your time to build your account.As per return ticket,this does not have any significant effect on your application because the embassy does not consider it(unlike Sweden,Finland,France etc.)She even advises that you should not get a travel ticket until your visa has been approved.You only need to prove to the Clearance Officer that you have means of obtaining the return ticket(and the bank statement of account is suffice to prove this).I reiterate:if you are not within the school age ,please do not be sponsored by your parent.But if you are still schooling,do get a letter of introduction/recommendation from your school(from the office of the student affairs and not your department)If you are member of the student union or association(house of representatives,exco etc ,you can get an ADDITIONAL letter of introduction from your president or your speaker.You should prove your studentship(letter of admission etc). Also,ensure you submit your source of income or your sponsor's(payslip,letter of employment[i]Bon chance[/i] |

Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by dancewith: 6:17pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
Now look here, it is very unlikely you will be approved this time. For one, your English is a bit shaky and if you keep reproducing what you are writing here, they will have no choice but to deny you again Here's what to do: Get a proper education in Nigeria. UNILAG,UNN, UI, IFE etc will do just fine. No need blowing about N600k on a visit to The UK at this stage of your life. concentrate on getting educated first unless you have other motives of wanting to desparetly travel to the UK They are not buying your story, just as I am not! |
Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by Nobody: 7:59pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
KSA-girl, my advice to you would be to forget anything and everything about travelling especially to the UK. It appears there's more to your story than you are telling. Secondly, your application has been rejected/declined twice. The chance of getting a Visa is pretty slim. The more you apply and get rejected the harder it gets and it also makes you look bad. My advice is stop applying for at least a year and build up your finances. |

Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by flekan(m): 8:29pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
Larrykyo: Nah!! I don't have any link bro, most of the documents are something you can pile up yourself |
Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by Larrykyo(m): 9:41pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
Justwise, I understand u , but you need to know my level of frustration, when u are ok and doing fine , you don't know how much other people are suffering , Still waiting for someone plsss |
Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by justwise(m): 9:52pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
Larrykyo: Ur level of fustration will increase badly by the time u land in a foreign land with wrong or fake paper hoping to find a job. If u want to travel to any country, check their visa requirements and take ur time and gather those required documents, don't buy fake or photo copies from any agent cos u will be wasting ur hard earned money. |

Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by Beckton: 4:38pm On Dec 15, 2009 |
Normally any one coming to the uk have to convnce himself before trying to convince the Immigration officer. There are loads of cheap visa frauds which have made it hard for even the genuine travellers however most people still come for studies, visit, business etc Visit http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ and all the basis questions will be answered but then you as a Nigerian your case might need a bit more scruitiny due to past problems of bogus supporting documents so do convince yourself before applying and you will be fine. Sincerely ur. Beckton. |
Re: Uk Visiting Visa Please, How Do I Go About It? by DisGuy: 11:08pm On Dec 15, 2009 |
ksa-girl: Apart from the document, YOU also have to show evidence you will go back to your country first of all im not in nigeria |
