Hi guys, does anyone know if TLS has started operating their Flexi appointment (walk in service) at their VI office?

giselle237:

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.

Kinpelz:
Good afternoon,

Please for those traveling to the UK soon, is there any requirement to do covid test?

I am travelling with BA and there is no requirement for this. However, I have heard people say they were asked at the airport. Please anyone with information on this?

mimilyrics:
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.

mekaboy:
Hello gurus in the house. Does it mean any tourist application with the intention to stay 14 days and bellow does not make sense because if the quarantine rules?

Brightingsus:


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.

Nnatuu:
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.

UhnNah:


Visa application & POE is different! If you’re just applying! State the numbers of days you want to use 6,7,10 days etc! When visa is out! Tackle POE rules separately!

mekaboy:


Thanks for the information. So they do not put the 14 days quarantine rules into consideration in an application? Assuming i state 7 days.

TheExalted:


1200 is okay but it is more than your monthly income. I'd suggest you stay within your monthly net income which is around GBP1,000 at today's Oandas rate.

Poch:

I spoke with BA call center agent yesterday, and she claimed that it is now required. I think within, 120hours before travel date.
You can call to confirm yourself: 08002222557

Adaaam:


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.

Good morning house
Please I need you to put me through sir/ma

Applying for UK tourist visa for 7 days
Married with 2 kids

I earn 420,000# every month

Planing to spend £1,500 in the UK

Please I need your advice

Brightingsus:


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.

Brightingsus:


This can be confusing to some. I just picked family member from the airport who arrived from Lagos on BA flight. No covid test was done neither was it asked for.

Hello good people,

I thank you all for this forum, the ideas, the advice, the constructive criticism and one thing i noticed was that everything is for us to achieve a positive visa outcome.

I have been reading this section, skipped some pages and atimes it like i should break my phone and go and find an agent to do my visa application for me, but with what i read here about agents, I dont want to start my travelling experience with a story that touches the heart.

I gathered all the documents mentioned here on the platform, and i read the ukvisa website again and again then i decided to give it a trail as a first timer.

the documents i uploaded were as follows:
* bank account
* pay slip
* reference letter from my work place
* my cover letter
* wedding pix and certificate
* my family pix (father, mother siblings)
* wedding pix
* one undeveloped landed property wey dey inside bush
* flight booking- i did not pay (turkey)
* hotel rent from booking.com- 7 days
* utility bill- electricity bill

then i proceeded to ikeja tls center on
- 11/09/20 to submit
- 11/09/20 - received transfer to dmc mail
- 15/09/20 - received received by dmc mail
- 29/09/20 - received travel document ready for collection mail.

Please I want to ask this question:

I am not available not to go and collect the passport in Lagos. How long can my passport be in lagos before they complain that i dont come.
can i go to the place after 1 month and collect my passport.?

coopfortune:

Help ooooooooooo

giselle237:

U should have paid 7k for courier that would bring straight to your house since you know u are not near Lagos. How do u want us to help u now?

geli12:

Good day all..

Pls I want to ask if it's ok to leave UK on the last day my visa is expiring, my visa ends on 4th March, can I buy ticket to leave on that day?
Also will they question me on my daughter, if she will not go to school, we want to travel on November and come back on 4th March, d day my visa is expiring, thank you

coopfortune:

Sir, no money as at that time
i just want to know if going to ikeja in 1 months time to collect my passport os not too late

im currently at yola to do something and my office might likely send me on another errand after this so im calculating max of 1 month

giselle237:

Congratulations...
What did u fill in ur visa app as the duration of your visit to the UK? .
Then about her school. It’s a valid question especially if u are asked at the POE how long you are coming in for. November to March is a long period. 5 whole months.
Sometimes they ask to see return tickets at the border. Showing return ticket of 5months is a huge red flag.
Let’s say you get off at the POE without any hassles, what happens to your next application?
Trust me the 5 months will count against you then without any strong extenuating circumstance to back it up.

Vasco1dagama:
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

UhnNah:


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!
