OmichaelO:
how much it was and how long it took.

Airline said I'll be needing it

Around 20k for appointment
Approx: 35k for visa fee
It will take around 2 or 3 working days

thank you so much. I truly appreciate

KLM website says I don't need transit visa, but their rep says I do.

It's confusing

If you’re traveling to the UK with KLM or Airfrance flight, you need to apply for and get Air Transit Visa (ATV)

Hi Guys

I have like $5k in my domiciliary account, all legally earned with proof. i want to go on an holiday to the Uk for a week. This is my first time of applying

Can i tender only my domiciliary account as a proof that i can sponsor myself during the trip?

The currency doesn’t matter what matters are:
1. The source of fund is it traceable ?
2. If you have large amount transaction you need to explain it .
3. Does the fund came in through transfer from your business or deposit. Cash Deposit is regarded as non traceable source of fund
If you get these things right you will not have issue go ahead and use it.

giselle237:
congrats.. oga so u won’t tell us how you addressed the past refusal issues especially unemployed/retiree.. ok o

Lol! Thanks for your help! It was very useful.
We attached three emails she sent to her pension administrators requesting for a letter to confirm her pension status. We now submitted her employment letter from 1982 and her retirement letter with retirement benefits stated.
We included two of her bank statements. 6 months each. Wrote a cover letter showing the dates her pension payments were made into her account. This was to save them time of looking for it and maybe missing it.
One of her savings bank statement showed a track record of saving with a closing balance of 400k plus
The money for her sponsorship was now paid into her account, mentioned in the cover letter and transfer receipt submitted with the application.
Documents for a landed property was included even though the property was in my dad's name only. Her husband's occupation was stated to show he earns enough to support the family in Nigeria.
The cover explained sincerely what happened. We didn't think it mattered to mention her pension status since she was unable to get a letter from them.

I hope I remembered all.

@aliyu great stuff. congrats

If they are cash deposit and i have proof for the source of funds ( invoice) can i tender this ?

Yes u can...but maybe the receipts for those payments will be better as it shows evidence money was evwntually paid to u as against invoice which might or might not be paid.

Via their office in Lagos and Abuja. That’s how I have paid for their tickets. U can also use dom card or barter card or foreign currency card. They all work

Thank you so much for your response.

Hi, I was wondering if you paid at their office using the "bank rate" for the dollar equivalent of the ticket? Thanks a lot.

Sometime in 2019 I did naira payment through a Gtbank branch

oh yes . If you ring them… and are able to make a booking via the phone, they’ll give an account no for which to pay in naira

oh yes . If you ring them… and are able to make a booking via the phone, they’ll give an account no for which to pay in naira .. they add some dollars to what’s on the site. Eg if you see 1030 usd on the site, my experience with the Abuja office was additional dollars to this. Like 40 or so.
Then the equivalent in naira is not cbn rate.. about 40 naira difference per dollar. This was 2021 pls.
But definitely in totality there’s saving rather than buying at 600 naira per usd with barter card or so.
