Good Day Nairalanders...please i need clarification on my visa application documents to canada;
1. i have worked in a microfinance bank for over 4yrs, where i earn 180,000/month after tax. do i need to show tax clearance certificate as i do not have one. although the bank deducts tax from the workers salary (PAYE) which does reflects on my pay slip.
2. I intend to use my salary account with the microfinance bank, will the VO accept statement of account from my salary account with the bank? I currently have over N800,000 in my salary account with the microfinance bank and i intend to apply for a 2 weeks vacation to see my first cousin in canada.
3. food and accommodation will be taken care of by her, what document does she need to provide apart from her permanent residency card, utility bill and prove of where she works (her ID card).
4. my travel history includes; Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Benin republic and Togo
5. does she have to mail origonal copy of letter of invitation to me, or is the scanned signed copy okay??
6. my ties in nigeria are my husband and my work and couple with the fact that i will be travelling to UK with my husband by August this year.
apart from all these documents, i included; police clearance, marriage cert, to whom it may concern letter, letter of consent from my husband and utility bills of our present house of residence.

what else could be lacking, please i urgently need answers. God bless

Trust everyone is having a weekend.Regarding the visitors visa for my graduation which my dad will be fully sponsoring, will his bank statement of 6 months, consent letter and my birth certificate suffice?His statement only shows withdrawals,no deposits. But the balance is over 12M.

Submission of documents, are strictly originals.
Your original documents would accompany you, when you select a date on the online portal
Everyone applying for a visa, unfortunately has to fill a form
Applying for others, yes.

Thank you for the prompt response, please do I need to fill all the sections even for a child visa coz some (most of the questions) are not applicable.
Is it while submitting my originals that i can attach a document explaining certain details?

Do i have to have hotel reservations and airline ticket reservation when i'm submitting the originals?

The bank statement I submitted was a 6months statement (september to feb) and every tin was okay except in that particular day in november. Which I never withdrew my whole balance n deposited it back in n I didn't even receive alert abt dis transaction but its shows in my statement. Which is strange n confusing to me n also the main reason of my refusal.

if i may chip here.

1. go to the bank an d get any explntion from them why the transaction was made on your account...come and tell us the explanation here, lets analyse, if its a good explanation you can include it as a short note in the next application.

2. ur bank balance of 1.2m is enough for u to be granted visa, if you must include ur spouse balance of 21m, you need to proof the source of the funds...by including his employment letter if employed or his buisness docs/tax documents if he is a biz man.

include a short letter explaining all this in ur next application.
the uk peeps have a check list.....once you fail even 0.5 of them...they den u visa sharp sharp...so you can pay money again and reapply...they know nigerians will always reapply

Any aspect you feel is irrelevant, put an N/A in the section.
If you have issues you want to explain, a special notes section is suffice for that. After filling the special section, explain documents you have attached to buttress your explanation.
Accommodation arrangements have to be included in your application(flight tickets bookings are not required @ point of applications).

You don't need to worry about the inactivity in his account, get documents to back up the source of that money....his payslip and salary account if he works

Thanks for responding to my query.He has an employment letter and a salary account,but most of the money in the domiciliary account was from savings accrued prior to this present job.So his present salary will not suffice as the source of money in his domiciliary account.
Any advice as to what to do,please?Should he just attach a covering letter explaining it's from his previous jobs?

He needs to do that and also give you his payslip and salary account as a proof of his source of his income.

Regardless of the length of time you used on the visa, reapplication can be undertaken upon expiration of the previous(you used the visa and did mot overstay).
A positive outcome is not always a guarantee. So submit your application, including all supporting documentation and keep your fingers crossed!!!

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by ty01: 1:44am On Feb 23, 2015
From my experience, I guess you were denied for two reasons; failing to explain the huge transaction that seem like lump sum and failing to explain your relationship with your mum (your sponsor).

I had a similar experience the last time I filed for visa application; I noticed a same day debit and credit transaction of 1.65m on my account statement. When I enquired from my bank, I was told that the debit and credit was because the balance in my account was moved from one branch to another. So while filling my VISA application form; I included this in the space available for comments: "please note that the transaction of dd-mmm-yyyy of 1.65m on my bank statement was bank induced. Although the net impact on my account is nil, I thought it wise to explain that I never initiated the transaction. You may want to contact my bank for further enquiries on this". The application was successful; my family and I were granted the visa.

Secondly, I also think (I may be wrong) that pictures; though important, may not be convincing enough that the person in the picture is your mum. You may need to include your birth certificate if it contains your mum's name plus a letter from your mum, stating that she intends travelling with you (her daughter) plus pictures showing you and your mum over time. Your babyhood through till now.

My own contribution.. Best of luck...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site but I'm a big fan.
Now I had to join in order for me to ask this question.
I wanna visit the UK this April, I've read through the general visitors page but I need some clearance on the following points.

1) I work as an executive marketer for a pharmaceutical company ( just got promoted last month)

2) take home after tax is 150 but will be 200 this month end due to new salary.

3) I currently have 200 in my savings account which is my salary account as well

4) sometimes some lump sum ( like 500) gets to my account from hubby but it's not sitting in my account. I normally spend it all.

5) I'll be paid 100 for my leave allowance.

6) And recently my boss said I was due for some bonus ( huge amount like 200) cos she told me if I make up to10 million naira sale on a particular drug I'll get 2 % bonus .

Now my question is,
1)won't all this money be seen as money lodgement

2) what are the chances of the result being positive cos I plan on using hotel reservation cos all the uncles that can write invitation letter are saying they don't have good bank statement. .

I'll appreciate all of your response. Just wise and all. Thanks.

NB: my boss is willing to writ a letter concerning the bonus and leave allowance.
