I would book directly with an airline. Personally, I don't like travel agency cos, except you are firm on your travel dates, you may have difficulties if you decide to change ur tickets as most times it can only be done by your travel agency. Now, imagine if you are in transit already, or if you are in a country with bout 7hrs time difference, how do u get to reach ur travel agency when they have not yet opened, and of course you don't have a personal travel agent in the agency that you can reach out to to sort it even after working hours?

In short, Travel agencies are not my favourites except I have to travel next day and can't hold a ticket online.

Before you go ahead with wakanow.com, question you should be asking [them] is for example "if I miss my flight, what does it take to get on the next available flight"

HTH

3sha4lyf:

Wow. Congratulations. I'm happy for you. Glad you weren't deterred at all by people's comments and all. Stay cool

Chrizizon:

Believe me 3sha4lyf I was almost discouraged especially when 1 other guy added that I have got no strong tie to my country as I am still single with no kids..no properties. .just registered business name not up to even 6 months. At the end I just decided to give d application a try after going tru different threads here plus d advice from u guys too..basically from d outcome of my application I think every application is handled according to genuine information supplied on one's circumstances

3sha4lyf:

Yes you are very correct. I can't stress it enough, every application is treated in its own merits. And people,should understand that everyone history and background is different and can contribute to the outcome of visa decision. For example, people say Tax clearance certificate or what's it called, is a prerequisite for s/employed or businessmen, yet I know someone who's gotten his visa (I SAW HIS APPLICATION DOCS, I SAW HIS APPROVED VISA, AND I SAW HIM VIST AS WELL) without a tax clearance cert. my friend will say "No two pregnancies are the same". .

Congrats once more

adesolami36: Am new on dis thread,pls I was abt filling my online application and I saw dis msg 'When making an online payment in Nigeria, if you are using a Naira visa/ verve/ master card you may need a pre-authorisation code from your bank to make the payment for the visa in USD. Please contact your bank as this may take up to 5 working days'....pls does dis means I av to go to my bank and collect d code before I can pay d visa fee or can I just pay with my master card...pls throw some light on dis issue

shegsteperz: @worry359

Thanks for responding .
She is single, do you advise she get married or have a child to serve as another TIE before she can apply ??

SashaPride: Hi.

New to this forum! My question is regarding my (tourist) UK Visa Application I intend to submit next week. We pln to go to London for 7days.
The story is long but pls bear with me.

I am a LPR(Legal Permanent Resident) of the USA (since 2011) and i have a son who is a US citizen. I'm still in a serious relationship with his dad but not engaged. My self and my boyfriend have traveled together to Dubai, and that's it. I'm currently in Nigeria( for a while now) and he wants to plan a trip to UK I have my Green Card and re-entry permit to go back to the US as i've been out of America for more than 6 months. He is paying for the trip 100%. He is gainfully employed with a salary of abt 300k a month. He has a savings account with a balance of about 1M naira, Landed property, another account with over 2M as he recently got paid benefits from his late mum pension from one of the pension administrative banks. I assume that payment will show as a lodgement and we requested a letter from the bank to show prove which they declined. I am not employed as i don't live in Nigeria and i cant tender my bank statement and work history in the US, as i have been away for more than 6 months. I Urgently need your advice on this matter. Find below the documents we currently have for submission

Letter of introduction from employer- same employer for over 7 years
leave letter stating beginning and end of leave and date to return back to work
Payslip -6 months
Hotel reservation

My status changed for a bit but it's back to Attend your appointment I hvnt gotten a mail or text from dem but I Hv picked up my package...well.. I guess if you aren't in Lagos, you just Hv to wait for their mail or text or better still contact UKVI and find about the status of your application.. https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

adesolami36: Some1 shud pls throw some light on dis issue

kaykay05:
What that means is that if you haven't already been using your Naira master card to pay online then you'll have to go get a token at your bank. The token is needed to generate the activation code for your card to complete online payments. Make enquiries at your bank.

Chrizizon: Oh really?

akinke:

Baba1010: Hi Guys,
Do you know if a Tier 2 dependent will also require a TB test before making the visa application?
How long does it take to get the TB test result in Nigeria?
**Excuse my naivety if these have been answered already on this forum**
Thanks

crisycent:

I got the same thing before my passport was sent to me. It means that they (british high commission) are done with your visa application documents and they have forwarded it to VFS. VFS will have it within 2 working days and should be available for collection there. I paid for UPS to deliver mine to my house, so i didn't have to go to vFS's office.

adesolami36: Thanks for d reply.I av gtb token,dt means I can pay with my gtb master card?

Hi, we're u issued a visa? We didn't hear ur success story o?

temmytanny: Hi Guys,
I have a question to ask. My sister was born in the UK in the early 80s but she has only visited once and ever since she hasnt been able to go back. I was told she is no longer regarded as citizen because of recent law passed by UK govt,how true is that?
If that is true,what kind of visa can she now apply for if she want to return to UK?
