Are you paying for the sightseeing tour? If not remove it and leave the rest, you are very ok to go

Thank you so much for your swift response. You mean that I shouldn’t list all the tourist attractions or which one? Please throw more light, I’m confused.

Please is there any issue uploading documents on the TLS ?

babs4all:

Does that mean I don't need a paga account to use that option?

Have you been able to make the payment?

Good evening all.

If I am sponsoring my parents' application, do they still need to provide bank statements?

Also if they are applying for 2 years, do they need to justify why they are applying for 2 years. They're applying for 2 years to reduce the number of times they have to visit the visa application centre.

Thanks

Good evening gurus in the house. I don't know if this has been answered previously, but I'll ask:

If I want to go on a short visit (say, two weeks) to the UK, with my wife, is providing 6 months payslip enough? Must it be accompanied by a 6 month bank statement in all cases? I work in a government establishment

Thanks.

List all the tourist attractions you wish to visit during your visit on your form, there are some places you can visit free, examples are London eye, Buckingham palace, trafliagar square etc..... Just make your application simple. my 2cent

GLORY GLORY GLORY... MY VISA WAS GRANTED.
i did my biometrics on 20th October, got a mail from TLC to come pick up on 6th November (13 working days).
i dont know how i was lucky cause sincerely i was really scared and skeptical on my chances of getting the visa.
cause one i didnt upload my bank statement, there was no point cause my account isnt clear, i have unusual credits there, and from what i gathered here, bank statements issues are always a cause of refusal.

i think what did the trick for me is because i made my application simple, i ensured i summarized all my points and put everything i needed to say in the Application form, i did that because in case the ECO does not open my cover letter i would still be grounded cause i have laid my case already.

Also, i would be travelling with my boyfriend, so i uploaded our pictures and i did an explanation on where we took all the pictures, (i included pictures of us at date night, goofy pictures, e.t.c, but nothing inappropriate) my reason was i needed the pictures as proof of relationship because he is my sponsor for the trip. also in my cover letter i refered the ECO to his bank statement and the actual dates when he sent money to me, because he always send money to me.

finally, for my itinerary, what i did was to google tourist places in uk that relates to my career, rather than stating the generic london eye e.t.c, i needed something to show that albeit that i am travelling for tourism i still want to gain something from the trip.

This worked for me, it may not work for everyone , so this is just for enlightenment, i learnt so much from reading this thread, so i just thought to share my story also.

goodluck to everyone expecting a positive news.

Hello House,

Please do not be vexed if it seems like I'm taking the thread back.

Here's my situation. I have a family friend, a British woman who is in her late 60's who wants to send me an invitation for me to come and spend the holidays with her family. What are my chances of being granted visa?

I'm not a civil servant, I work with a small Tech firm and my salary is modest. I have not travelled out before. Infact I'm on my process of applying for my masters in the UK. I am unmarried. I fear that with these factors, I might be denied Visa. I would not want anything to dent my record especially since I'll be applying for MSc soon. What pieces of advice do you have for me please, and do I stand a chance of being granted visa?

Cc Justwise

On the payment page, click on paga verve.. Then select pay by card, after that you should be able to make the payment using your bank card because the currency would have been converted to naira.. Input your card details and that will be it.

I have tried to pay using this guideline. I have used both Zenith and Access Mastercard and Visa respectively without success.
Please assist

Were you able to get to the point where the amount in question was converted from Dollar to Naira?

Try and use GTB mastercard if you have access to any. Let's know the outcome.

You didn't need to attach your bank statement as you already stated that your BF is the sponsor of the trip. All the ECO needs to see is your BF account statement. Congratulations
