That is obviously not true, a budget of 10 days is not the same as a budget of 15days, stating that you are going to stay 10days and given a visa and you went ahead to book a flight a return ticket for 15days is an issue.

Luckily you haven't paid the price yet but many have because its misrepresentation.

oak202:


I totally disagree with this narrative that its a misrepresentation because in every application, you will be asked the number of days used previously which i stated the true number of days. Its when you lie thats when it becomes a misrepresentation.

I applied for 6 months and stated i will spend 5 days which i ended up spending 10 days. I later applied for 2 years which i stated i spent 10 days in my previous visit with dates. I got my 2 years

Greetings dear Nairalanders.

It's me again.

Is it okay to include in one's visa application that he was denied visa in another embassy?
My inlaw was denied tourist Canada Visa a month or two ago, and he's including it in his UK visa application?
Is it okay, or should he remove that detail?
Thanks.

dilodavid:
You can decide not to include it. Canada and UK don't share information.

Hello everyone.
Thank you for this post, Justwise.
My case is peculiar and I would really appreciate your input.

I got a 10year ban for misrepresentation when I tried renewing my visa in 2010.
(My first visa in 2006, stayed 5 months but was wrongly advised to backdate my arival date at the airport, stating that I stayed 1 month). I sent them an email apologising for that.

Now the ban is lapsed and I want to apply for a 6-month visa. Purpose is to visit my siblings.

*I was a student then, now married with children.

*I run an online clothing business. Income is between 40-50 thousand naira monthly.

*I receive monthly allowance of 200k from my husband, which he recently increased . The extra is his personal savings towards rent,school fees,etc.

*I have land documents, the children's birth certificates/school receipts , CAC certificate and tax certificate.

*3 bank statements: 1 for business and 2, personal. All below 1million naira .

*I'll be visiting my sister who also doubles as my sponsor.

How much should I state as my monthly income? And expenses? Do I add the allowance I get for upkeep or just income from my business?

How much should my budget be? I see it's twice your monthly income but in this case, doubling my income won't cut it and again my trip will be sponsored.

Please, I just need to know the best way to approach this application because of where I'm coming from.

Thank you very much.

How about the financial aspect. How much would you advice.
I heard many people are deported for lack of funds.

Horlaidey007:
£200-£300 should be fine

ozymes:
The amount you quoted on your application form

knighteengale:
Congratulations to you.

A friend of mine recommended British Airways to me when I wanted to go in September. There services was great.
You can try them, that is if there are still seats this year.

£850 - £1,000 should be okay for you, depending on what n what you want to shop for.

Hello Champs,

Please, How many months' bank statement is required for a UK visitor visa application?

Thank You

oluwaseun8:



6 months only.

Seeyat:
I specially want to thank @ekpotek and @justwise and every other people that contributed their opinion. My visa application was refused in September due to Eco not checking all documents i submitted, i was adviced by these two wise men to contact them and complain which i did. 21 days later i received an email saying they're conducting an Independent review of my complaint.

5 days ago i received another email stating "Please note your visa decision has been overturned" I have submitted my passport with a copy of the email received from them.


I appreciate every advice given and God bless you guys

Janechinem:


Congratulations! Please how did you made your complaint and which email address did you sent your complaint to.
