I've followed this thread for a while and have realized that a lot of people here were being denied visa.
please pardon my English but I have a suggestion.

why don't our people think of alternatives.(just my one cent. please don't criticize me o)
many people applying for visas on here have got at least 1m to 2m.

why not some of you come together and think of a very good business investment.
Two is better than one they say.

Draft good investment or business idea. put this money together and invest back home or alternatively invest in countries like UAE(Dubai) where you can easily get a 10 years residence permit as an investor and you can actually get your business license with as little as 3 to 5M within 1month at max and that give you 10 years residence permit. run the business for a while and then use your company documents to easily secure a visit visa from any other part of the world.
that s killing 2 birds with one stone, now you guys have a business making you money while you travel.
WORD IS CHEAP(DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE INVESTING IN ANY BUSINESS)

Yes and make use of the blank space to explain that you use your current account for both savings and salary

justwise:


Keep disturbing them with emails and calls else you have to wait until you hear from them, though this is not uncommon.

Hello, okay am an agric full time 5th year (finals) student, planning on visiting the UK for 2 weeks for my project research write up in some libraries in the uk and to visit some farms too as an agric student (i have letter from libraries and farms giving me permission to come) I also will visit cousins. Also have Supervisor and HOD letter, other school doc., job offer letter after graduation.

But I want to know, one of my cousin is sponsoring the entire trip and he has a company in the UK. as he runs his own company, surely payslip is out of the picture. I would like to know what he has to provide from his end thankx.

please i need help, i have posted this before but didn't get the response needed. I was denied UK visitor visa in 2013 under 320 7a because of a family photograph(parents and siblings) with a different background and it was seen as altered and deception was implored which was not the case because i had no idea that such a photograph will raise any dust. I was single then. Moving forward 6 years later am married to a Doctor and i have a son who is a U.S citizen. my wife is about to apply for Tier 2 to work as a Doctor in the UK and my son and i are her dependents. I was told that my previous visa denial under 320 7a will or might jeopardize the application Because denials under 320 7a is automatic ground for ban under 320 7b since it involves deception. I don't know how true this is, i was not given a ban, i was single then. As a family man whose circumstances has greatly improved with a wife and son and she is the principal applicant, i would like an expert opinion about this so we don't make any mistakes. we are almost there. Somebody please help !!!!

He has to provide his bank account, the details of his company, his tax details,his personal and business account and indicate he is using his personal account to sponsor u , bc he can not use his biz account to sponsor y trip. He should provide his citizen passport or permanent resident card and write a letter to eco that he is sponsoring u and will take charge or all expenses including feeding, accommodation and flight ticket.

TonyyS:



okay thankx Bro. still confused tho.
I know utility bill/prove of house ownership
passport data page
invite letter.

but dont get the financial aspect. he owns a company and will be sponsoring me on a visit visa fully.

Killingmesoftly:


He can not sponsor u with his company's account, only his personal account that he can sponsor u. He will let the eco know he has a company and provide all the necessary details of his company and present his personal account too, it is with his personal account he will use to sponsor y trip not the money made by his company. He should have his personal saving account to sponsor u. I hope this help. Other mates can also contribute .

Killingmesoftly:


Yr parent can only assist you if they are working and have a healthy statement of account, if they are not working or doing good biz how can they assist u? They can not assist u by giving them money when u av enof. Why not relax and finish y skool, do nysc , get a good job then u can apply by y self The money involved should be atleast 1M if you really want a UK visa. U av to make sure that y personal and financial circumstances satisfies the ECO.

Total expenses for 2weeks vacation should be 600k (£1200) since u are booking hotel the buget goes up but if someone will accommodate u the buget is less like 500k Note: depending on the salary u earn in a month, u can only dispose two months salary to meet y buget. Y buget should not be more than y two monthly salary.

Flight fare: estimated from 260 -280
Accommodation (hostel) 90k for 14nights
Living expenses and tickets for sightseeing , extra cash and shopping. All these will cover 600k. Then assuming u av 1M in y account, 600k av gone for your buget to travel, while the remaining 400k will be what u will hold bk when u return to Nigeria. U can not show a closing balance of 600k and give a buget of 600k, u must always av a tangible amount left. I hope this help
