Justwise, Vicjustice and my Fellow NL'ers, I've just received my parcel yesterday and was refused visa. I submitted on the 29th March, and was assessed with a decision on the 6th May. kindly advise what could've been amended on this application. Also will like to know how long for me to reapply again.
See attachments.

You over budgeted your trip and end you spending more than 3 months of your salary within a short period. And you did you explain what you are going to do in the UK that necessitated spending about half a million naira with few days in th UK

You still have time to prepare and run your company's account properly and pay tax from your earnings.

Please take your time and go through this thread and if you don't find all the answers needed then ask here for help.

Good Evening Bro Justwise and my people in this house, please can someone banned for 10 years by British High Commission in Abuja apply for Republic of ireland visa with the same passport that has UK refusal stamp on it? Though the stamp didn't show any indication that he was banned. It only show the visa refusal number ''80*6*28'' and ''UK Abuja'' on the stamped surface.

justwise:


Chances of refusal is high as both countries share data

Justwise is correct, unless you have an Irish Citizen wife or children - an exception may be made in this case if the ban related to a non declaration or something small, but if has anything to do with document fraud it will be pretty difficult

@Justwise, greetings- sorry for the delay to reply engaged with work. don't really think I over budgeted it's just that the exchange rate was a factor to the increase in naira cost. Moreover it's not 3 months of my salary but my disposable income.
Also, I stated what I was going to do. Some few places to visit. I think the eco wasn't fair in this judgement.

@donciccio, sorry about the outcome. It is clear form the letter, that the ECO does not think that its wise for you to spend 3x your monthly disposable income for just a vacation in the UK. You did not also provide details plans on what you will do while in the UK. You can reapply anytime, but your application will also be processed putting into consideration if you have fully addressed the reasons for your last refusal.

@ekpotek, thanx for your response but I've some one who earns less than my disposable income and still got visa with vac cost of 500k. I think the eco is not fair. I agree I might not have provided enough information as to what to do but the same information was provided by the person I know and was given visa.

@donciccio. UK Visa applications are considered on individual basis using the information provided in your application type, visa category and documents submitted. Even in group applications, some are given and other refused. My advise is for you to address the reasons for refusal raised in your last application if you are planing to reapply. Concerning your finances, You can address this by providing additional income sources disposable to you like stocks, properties etc, you can add this to your next application with documentation. Provide a detail list of the places you plan to visit while in the UK and why you choose to visit those places. Above all commit everything in prayer to God. Good luck.

Nigerian immigration can stop you just for anything, for them there is no rule. Under normal circumstances you should be fine.

Only you can answer that question because you know how much you spend monthly and what left after that.

Hello guys . Good job y'all. So how much exactly can I state as monthly expenses and cost of trip , For someone that has been earning 170k for 7 months and has 600k in a salary account . Please help. Thanks

Here is the math: 170K x 7 months = 1190K. Deduct this from 600K balance that you have will give 590K. Divide this by 7 months amount to monthly expense of 84K. You can split this to how much goes to family members, relatives etc and how much you spend on yourself. However, you are left with monthly disposable income of 86K which is not even enough to buy a return ticket to the UK. You must be able to convince the ECO how you have saved 600K over a period of 7 months in Nigeria on a monthly income is just 170K!! My best advise is to provide other sources of disposable income apart from your salary to stand a chance with your application. I hope this is helpful. Good luck.
