Not sure I have come across that term on UK visa form. Which section?

Sorry I meant VAF.

Should mean visa application form but I could be wrong.

Hello, house trying to assist my sister inlaw, please is there any cheaper hotel in London that has free cancellation, she said that her agent said that all hotels in London are charging and no free cancellation. the agent is charging plenty of money to book a hotel for her. Kindly assist. Thank you.

That is exactly what you need to do

Thank you @justwise, another thing is I can’t even remember if I had one to be honest because I worked only in 2009 and it’s been really long , I can’t remember most things that happened then, is it possible to work without an NI number, I called my school I worked with to ask for my payslips and they said they don’t keep payslips for More than 7 years, so right now I am confused. Can I simply explain in the application that I can’t remember if I have an Ni number because it’s been long I worked in the uk and my former place of work don’t keep payslips for more than 7years.

They currently have flight schedules from Lagos to Heathrow UK, but I need someone who have used their services recently as a guide.

Hi, I used them in Dec 2019 to return Jan 2020 and after that I vowed never to go near them again. Yes it's cheap and you get what you pay for. However the planes are small, old, dirty especially the one going and coming to Nigeria from casablanca. Ensure you carry your tablet or phone for entertainment as there is none on board only if you're lucky and they Change your plane like they did going from Casablanca to London due to high traffic as it was December.


I was worried about their baggage handling as I saw so many horror stories online and that they had terrible customer service which is true.

So my advise if traveling with your family avoid...if going alone to you can try it but carry minimal luggage and put important stuff in your hand luggage. And of course. If your hand luggage is big they will collect it at the gate to check in as the plane is small. So prepare yourself
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Lifeisgoody: 10:43am On Jun 17, 2021
This a very bad review. I am just considering them for now and still searching for cheap BritishAirways.
Thanks

Try Virgin...what I did was to use the calender feature to get the best deal as they are running promo currently and I just purchased for my family. Once you get that day open wakanow, travelstart, travelbeta. Put that same exact date and buy from the cheapest provider. Hope it helps
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Lifeisgoody: 11:25am On Jun 17, 2021

I have done that, but my problem is July travel date due to my annual leave

Hello great minds.

So I’m now in the UK on tier 4 student visa. I applied as single but after I got my Visa I got married before traveling. About four weeks ago, I filled a change of circumstance form coupled with wedding pictures and other throwbacks and sent to home office so as to update them about my marital status. Up till now I haven’t heard from them and I hope to apply for my wife’s visa (tier 4 partner dependant) by first or second week of July. Justwise and co please advice.

Hi everyone, please I want to ask if it’s possible to change from one submission center to another . I picked UKVi then I noticed an additional fee of £55 aside from the 11,700.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by codedarrow: 5:25pm On Jun 17, 2021
Sorry to hear this, but there no way you can choose otherwise. TLS Victoria Island attract 55£ + Prime time appointment of #37,000 + Assistant service of #11,700

I believe the only option is to cancel your application then apply for refund. The refund takes up to 2 weeks.

You can apply immediately again after the cancellation

Hi guys, is it possible for one to embark on a 5 days trip to Nigeria?

How would doing covid tests impact such a trip? I hear there are some rules around doing post arrival covid test in Nigeria and covid test to be done before departing Nigeria.

Can anyone please help explain how this could work?

Any explanation will be appreciated.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Chpelu: 2:55am On Jun 18, 2021
Good morning all. I was refused visa in April with my family. I want to reapply again to travel with my baby alone in December. My leave letter and visa application stated I will be going on my 21 days leave, because of the refusal I didn't go for 21 days leave. I only went for 5 days. I reserved the remaining 16 days for next holiday. How will I address this on my next visa application that it won't be an issue for me. Thanks

Are you fully vaccinated? Ideally, you need to take an post arrival COVID-19 test on day 7 and a departure test latest 72hrs before your trip. If you are fully vaccinated you might be able to make your case to authorities why you can test earlier

You don't need to address it. Just say you are going for 16 days. I personally have never attached any proof of leave. Rather focus on addressing the issues that led to you being denied.

If my wife and I have different biometric dates and we want to have it done on the same day, can I go on with my own appointment while she walks in with me and pay 42k?
