Meanwhile I would advise you request GCMS notes please.

Hello There , can some one Help me out with vital informations about securing a visa to visit spouse who is an EU citizen and resides in Sweden . What are the necessary documents to take with me to the embassy in Sweden ? I have booked an appointment for November.

Hello house.

I would hopefully be visiting Morocco in July for a wedding (6 days) with a group of people (about 15 from Nigeria. Most of the other wedding guests are coming from different countries). I have a job that i love (working as a Head of School and earn about 120k a month). 28 yrs old female single and live with my mum (no responsibilities except general upkeep) and have about 700k in my account (it fluctuates between 700 and 900). What would you say are my chances of getting the visa? I have been to the embassy in Abuja and gotten the list of requirements (which is the same as UK).
The couple are actually considering Morocco or Turks and Caicos as destination for their wedding but are leaning towards Morocco because of US visa wahala (You need either a US, UK or Canadian Visa to enter Turks and Caicos). I have previously applied for a UK visa when I was to travel with my mum but was denied because I didn't show a strong enough tie to home country. (my mum was given hers though). I have been to both Dubai and Saudi in the past year.
Just want to know my chances before application and what can I do to improve my home ties if I'm to reapply for UK visa.
Thank you

Good day people, I want to go and study in Australia. My sponsor's statement of account for 3 months goes like dis.

Total credit : 47. 6 million
Totatal debit : 42 million

Available balance is 4.5 million but the checklist requires 40,000 AUD. Which is 9 million Niara.
Will dis statement substitute or should I back date it to wen he had 12 million in it? or wait for money to flow in again before I print?

pls, which do dey look at? D available balance abi the cash flow?

Pls advise.

but for reasons best known to him he keeps procrastinating till d deadline was over after a year we broke up.
Fast forward to 2016,now am working earning 156k has gross income monthly,i have a child and doing well.
Now were I need ur advice,i intended travel to UK by may 2017 by the grace of God.
1, the company I work something owe salary for some months but latter pays everything once as arrears can this be classified as cash lodgement.
2,the bank were I have my salary acct(Heritage)has limited branches in Lagos so most time immediately my salary comes in l withdrawal and deposit into my personal account (gtb) so my salary account as a current bal of less than 300k but I can build my personal account to have like 850k which statement will be advisable to present or can I present both.
3,in my new application will it be necessary to mention the previous case or I shd forget it and let it go since am using a fresh passport (note: the old one was not an e-passport)

CAN SOMeONE who has a similar situation or someone who tried this help me please sad
I have overstayed my student visa in Australia for 6 months due to financial problems and have left the country voluntarily. Now I wanted to have a new start and wanted to apply in another country,which is new zealand.I want to apply another student visa,because there are no work here in my home country and my uncle is willing to sponsor me to go to another country to study and hopefully land a better job after. My question is,will my overstay in Australia affect my New zealand visa application? Will I get deny because of my overstay? I just wanted to make sure before I do anything so I wont be wasting any money.

I want to be positive because I will never really know unless I try but if anyone tried this already can you tell me your experience?
Thank you so much for your help!

No, it won't be considered money lodgment provided there is evidence of the source. However, it could raise questions to the reliability of the company that you work for.

2,the bank were I have my salary acct(Heritage)has limited branches in Lagos so most time immediately my salary comes in l withdrawal and deposit into my personal account (gtb) so my salary account as a current bal of less than 300k but I can build my personal account to have like 850k which statement will be advisable to present or can I present both.
In this circumstance, presenting both accounts is fine. But be mindful that your chance of refusal is very high because, Visa Officers do not fancy applicants with the potentiality of being financially broke due to visa application and travel costs: Remember that half of your money will go for (economy class) flight ticket alone.

ebose09:
3,in my new application will it be necessary to mention the previous case or I shd forget it and let it go since am using a fresh passport (note: the old one was not an e-passport)
The question is, can you let it go without lying or using deception? If the answer is NO, then don't dare it or you would be banned for a minimum of 10 years if not for life: for your information, they have your name and date of birth, even your parents names.

You were suggesting whether to" let go" your previous visa application refusal (without mentioning it in your new application) so, i was asking whether you can "let go" without lying to cover it or use deception. I also warned you that you would be caught and given a lengthy ban: and if you are willing to accept it, admitting your previous failed application does not affect your chance for a visa, but hiding it will not only result in refusal, it would get you banned.
By the way, you might want to look up my previous reply to you, i added updates.

You can not appeal a refusal for tourist visa application.
It is hard to advice you since i do not know what the Italian embassy saw with your application, perhaps you can explain how you presented (to them) your reason for applying for a tourist visa.

Hi I have a few questions to ask:

1) I plant to travel on the 21st of December in time for Christmas. I wish to submit on the 5th of December. Is my travel date too close to my application date and Will i be refused based on this?

2) I have a power of attorney document stamped at the court. The documate just states my mum is giving me her property to rent out to tenants. I wish to use this as evidence of my ties to nigeria. I have stated that in my letter i wish to setup my business but at the moment i am unemployed.

3) whats a notarial certificates? Saw it on the "Visitor: supporting documents guide". Is this the same as a power of attorney?

4) The visa asked me to submit evidece of my relationship with my gf, yet they said photographs should not be sent except if requested. How do i deomostrate evidece. I planeed to screenshot facebook pictures of us together.
