Makkykiki: Hello guys, Please I need help with this My husband and kids were supposed to have joined me on a tier 4 dependant visa which was issued in before the lockdown, unfortunately the 30 day vignette is expired. We applied for renewal and it’s been almost 4 weeks and nothing from Uk home office. I was asked to send a proof of my current student status. Is anyone having similar issue? What was the eventual outcome? How long did it take to resolve this? Thanks |

Hello my people, I am new here and will need your wise counsel. I want to apply for a UK Visitor visa and will need your guide on below concerns. 1. Is it safe to indicate that i'll spend GBP1200 during my visit? Note: i earn 500k after deductions, self sponsored with a statement of about 6m and also have my own firm which is additional source of income BUT not a steady one. 2. I wish to stay for a week max (Is this safe or should i state 2 weeks instead) so it doesnt look false. 3. Will there be a conflict if i indicate that i am employed and self employed(own my own firm) at same time?? 4. Will it make any difference to include a landed property and, my daughter as ties in my application? (Or will someone think i am trying too hard to prove ties?) 5. Do i need an invite from the UK or can I just apply as a tourist intending to stay in a hotel/hostel? Which will give more credibility to my application? Your response will be HIGHLY appreciated as i am TOTALLY clueless about the decision process. |

Vasco1dagama: It was stated in my form that I am visiting a friend. Though I stated 10days but I can't stay up to that now because I need to quickly come back to work. My friend will accommodate me. My question is if not spending up to 14days in his house be a problem at the POE? Those you saw at the airport is their visa cancelled? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nchabuomo: 5:43pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
Nnatuu: 1. It's okay to indicate that you will spend that during your stay. It's a VERY decent estimate given the duration of stay 2. Your earnings is great. I feel you do not have to include your private business but that's up to you. There's an additional income section for that 3. I don't think you can indicate both at the same time 4. You can but it's not a MANDATORY requirement. Your job is a tie 5. No you don't need an invite. Personally, I have NEVER used one. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nnatuu: 5:57pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
Nchabuomo: Thanks for the confidence, brother. You guys are doing a great a great job on the forum. I'd go ahead and put in my application right away. Heaven wish me luck! |

Brightingsus:no sir....I only have #1m in my account nd that is too small to prove sponsoring my self. Reason i need someone's statement of acct.... The #1m is to cover my own basic needs during my stay. I have 2-3 friends in US nd UK. So they got me covered for accommodation |

Nnatuu:Do add your daughter’s information, birth certificate etc .. She is your dependent and also serves as a tie. ... viz a viz you can’t abandon your daughter in Nigeria to go and live in the Uk is the point you are trying to translate to the ECO by doing this. Do you have a spouse? It will also help. U should also include ur landed property. Assets in home country or resident country also serve as ties. If this is ur first application, it strengthens your application in my humble and personal opinion. Keyword= personal |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nnatuu: 8:39pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
giselle237: Oh thanks a lot brother for the information. I surely cannot leave my daughter for any reason. Spouse, not yet. Other challenges i have is that: 1. I do buy and sell cars from IAAI, USA i.e I have multiple large deposits from cars i sold at different times few weeks ago. All i have to prove these are the pictures of the cars and bill of Laden from USA in my name. Will these deposits be an issue as they are different from my salary payments or will the export documents from USA suffice to prove ownership? 2. I receive most of my monies on a Zenith Bank account and then transfer from Zenith to my savings with another bank which this other bank account statement is what i want to provide to the embassy. Since most of the inflows to the main account are from my own account in Zenith bank, is this a red flag? Will providing the source account statement help in this situation? I did this because my Zenith ATM card is tied to SEVERAL online payment sites that make auto deductions so the account is very prone to fraud. 3. I have other important deposits from two different corporate accounts from two companies i own, do i need to include these? Should i exclude my corporate accounts so the ECO does not think my income stream is complicated i.e one salary and two different corporate accounts(different companies) IT related? In a nutshell, will 5 five different bank statements be a red flag? 4 . MUST i provide tax clearance certificates for ALL the companies i own if i must have to mention them in my application? ABeg no vex my brother, as i de read the forum de go i realize say my matter complicate die.... Any info from anyone in the forum will really help clear my head as i want to visit early January with my partner. |

No, there's no requirement for Covid-19 test for entry into the UK. A friend came in on BA 2 weekends ago and wasn't asked for one; my mum who came in on Virgin Atlantic 2 days ago wasn't asked for it either. Kinpelz: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Cyberknight: 8:47pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
Nnatuu: You can go to the UK and return in one week, but since there is currently a 2 week quarantine requirement, you will be indoors throughout your stay which makes absolutely no sense. Work on this aspect. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nnatuu: 8:49pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
Cyberknight: Wow...very important information right there! This is really a show-stopper. Thanks much for this info, bro. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 9:04pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
Nnatuu:U dont need to provide tax clearance. It is not a mandatory requirement. Providing 5 bank statements wud be much. Provide the ones with ur salary credits and any other one u feel like but 5 is alot. At least provide the bank account that shows the source of your funds both salary and otherwise. Now for the businesses, My own issue is complicating an easy appication. If u say u need to then, you can mention them. in the form pls address it as a side business (I hope u have cac docs and other things to back up all the transactions and forthwith business sales) The problem with this I will reiterate is for u not to go and complicate a simple application. Lastly, there is a way to reduce the complication should you decide on including all these car stuff. Ur proposed travel is January. U can do ur biometrics in December. So from now till ur submission in December which I will suggest, is it possible to keep all ur car business monies and large deposits away from any bank statement u will be submitting? This is to reduce the explanation u want to do as ur salary is good enough as an economic tie. I hope it comes in monthly and is this amount u quoted. U can be receiving ur trading money in an account u wont b submitting. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Vasco1dagama(m): 9:39pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
graceodini:that means you no go Waka for town . just remain indoor with your friends then return back after the stipulated 10 days. but if your intentions was to flex for ten days then you have to book a return flight that will cover 10+ 14 = 24 which means you are spending 24 days in the UK. meanwhile your flight might not necessarily be exactly date but that one no matter provided the difference is like 2-6 or even 7 additional days. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Brightingsus: 11:14pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
Kinpelz: Family member boarded successfully the BA flight from Lagos to London tonight and no mention of Covid test at the airport. At the security, after checking in bags, they were given a form each to fill their local addresses in Nig, I presume for contact tracing. |

Thank you so much. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by graceodini: 12:14am On Sep 30, 2020 |
Vasco1dagama: Ok. But please I don't understand what you mean by YOUR FLIGHT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE EXACT DATE. Can i book a flight for just 6days if my plan is to stay for 6days? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Ashirioluwa: 12:19am On Sep 30, 2020 |
Adaaam: It depends on your location in Lagos. Go to Airport or Ikeja around Lagos airport hotel. Beware of scammers |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Vasco1dagama(m): 12:54am On Sep 30, 2020 |
graceodini:for example flight booking ( departure)2/ 10/ 20 return flight (22/10/20. sometimes you may not get a return flight for 22 but any return flight you get from 22 - 30 is ok I. e. departure 2/10/ 20 return 26/10/20 or 27/10/20 or. 28/10/20 or 29/10/20 or 30/10/20 you have time to flex oyibo chicks well we'll. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Adaaam: 6:40am On Sep 30, 2020 |
Ashirioluwa: Please I'm around that ajao estate close to the airport road, I've been trying to pop you an email but it can't pull through. Can you please tell me where is best and close to my proximity? Thank you for your prompt reply. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by graceodini: 6:45am On Sep 30, 2020 |
Vasco1dagama: Okay. But I mean can I make just 6days flight booking just to use the visa and come back so I will self isolate for the 6days then return to Nigeria. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Vasco1dagama(m): 7:42am On Sep 30, 2020 |
graceodini:the issue is not at your descretion to choose the numbers of days your flight will return. if you check all airlines timetable recently you will discover that virtually all the flights don't return in 6 days time. I reckon they are considering the 14 days quarantine in their time table. I hope you are not intending to book a one way ticket . .. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Vasco1dagama(m): 7:47am On Sep 30, 2020 |
graceodini:oga, just take enough leaf from work that will cover 25 or 30 days . the possibility of getting 6 days return flight is quite slim at the moment. Am quite sure you can not get a return flight within that range of 6 days . I leave further explanation and objections to the gurus in the building. I no be expert ooo |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Vasco1dagama(m): 8:09am On Sep 30, 2020 |
graceodini:I want you to take note of the following: covid 19 British immigration rule. foreigners from some certain countries arriving the UK " MUST" quarantine for 14 days. Nigeria is among . ok tell me how logical would it sound, to explain to ukba that you only intend to spend six days and return. In this regard, you will be open to further scrutiny as to why do you intend to visit and remain indoor for just 6 days then check out there after. the way the situation is right now you will be subjected to series of questions . considering the economic situation in Nigeria, we are not considered as " genuine visitors" . this attempt of yours will raise a red flag from barrage of interviews. why can't you just save yourself by doing the way others are doing instead trying strange thing that may land you back in Nigeria. don't forget, this officers are too quick to suspect us. you need to be smart to be able to enter UK now. the situation in their country right now does not even permit visitors but owing to their established law on immigration they are still allowing people inn pending when Congress will take a stand. don't forget that you are just visiting and not for business . a whole lot of eyebrows will emanate from this form of travel arrangements. 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Brightingsus: 8:18am On Sep 30, 2020 |
graceodini: Official gov.uk information suggests if you are coming to the UK for less than 14 days, then you would have to isolate for all of your stay in the UK. However be prepared to face tougher scrutiny at the POE as to why you wanna come and lock yourself in for all of your stay.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by UhnNah: 8:48am On Sep 30, 2020 |
graceodini: My advice : This is specific for your situation because i think you just want to travel and use your visa! Flying to uk and back is already an experience regardless of what you’d do there! I get it! Book a ticket and hotel/hostel for 17 days! IF you’re asked about your plans, Tell them you’re here to relax and vacay! The 14 days isolation is fine by you and you’ll use the extra 3 days for sightseeing after your isolation! This makes sense! If you have someone you’re staying with,book 17 days ticket (Same story as above) you can leave anytime even before 14 days! Reschedule your ticket to an earlier date and return home! Pls make sure you really isolate and follow the rules,you might get away with things,but it’ll ruin things for others! Good luck! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 8:54am On Sep 30, 2020 |
princejunaid:U will need to have a Divorce decree to prove you are no longer married to the former woman. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 8:58am On Sep 30, 2020 |
UhnNah:Nice. But she didn't get her visa with hotel app. She mentioned that she is visiting a friend who is covering her accommodation and feeding. So she is looking for a means to tally up her intentions cus she really wants to travel for only 6 days. This is the matter she has been trying to solve. |
