Yes you have to use the same GWF.you don't need new GWF.
You only need to create account on teleperformer so as to track your application after you must have submitted at their centre.that is the purpose of your registration NOT to register your appointment.

I have done that, Thank you and God bless everyone in the house.

*
QST 1. The total amount of money you have for this trip. can i assume this should be say half my savings, or 1/3rd etc like btw 1 to 2 million naira?, or roughly the same as answer to question A above?
*
QST 2. The cost of the aeroplane, boat or train tickets
*
QST 3. The cost of your accommodation
*
QST 4. The costmean, your living expenses


PLS note: am using hotel booking abt 200k for 14days {my wife and i], flight about 320k [2 persons] then about 100k for feeding/sight seeing and trans in uk = about 620k/2100GBP, so i intend to write this value for qst A, and then maybe 1m for qst 1, my salary is a lil above 300k and i have 3m+ in my savings acct

You don't seem to have much issues with finance, the key to these answers is what you analysed on the "note".
So, i'd say just make the budgets according to what you think will be right, but be careful to not make any exaggerated budgets: i know people who got refused because they lavishly budgeted their expenditures in ways that suggested irresponsible extravagance.

Good morning house,

Is it compulsory that the reference letter from your bank supporting your bank statement also shows your account balance? The one I got does not state my balance. Do I request for another?

Thanks so much

No it won't show the account balance

Vicjustice:

Your job and salary can definitely get you through, but do not make the mistake of referring to her as your "sister" it will be seen as a lie and you could be refused on the basis of that.

Many thanks. Please I need to reach you via mail, will that be possible?

Well, this can be done in various ways and it can carry whatever details that you wish to include. However, I suppose it is reasonable for it to reflect the balance in order to match the bank statement that it refers to.

Is your business registered?

Do you pay tax from your earning?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by tayotp: 7:48pm On Jan 11, 2015
@justwise,,its registered with cac buh I don't pay tax.

The true value of your business can not be established without tax certificate, your net profit will help the ECO determine whether you can afford the holiday or not, as it stands your business acts as your tie to Nigeria.

@justwise, Happy New year, the last time i asked for your advise concerning applying for a uk visa during a friend's graduation ceremony, you advised that it is better to have a business account instead of using my savings account, i now have a business account, depositing my daily sales earnings into it for the past 6 months, please, i would love to send a confidential message to you via email, if you don't mind.

I can't remeber telling you that, this is your first post here. Yes you need business. account if you are a business man but you also need savings or current account and tax certificate.

As long as it's visa related I rather have the question openly here.

That is normal, they don't tell you right there if you have been given or not.

Hello People. I have a two year Uk visa but I have not been able to travel with it due to the nature of my new job. If para-venture I am not able to make a trip before its expiry would that have any impact on future renewals.

Definitely not, on the contrary, it would make your renewal easier than that of a first timer
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by scott509: 1:02pm On Jan 13, 2015
and yes my renewal application was granted..i collected it yesterday..Thanks for giving me the confidence when i got the email from visa.lagos@fco.gov.uk. many thanks
