Does Emirates airlines require transit Visa? And hope there won't be problem with this new visa ban on Nigeria in Dubai? If anyone could answer this,I don't want problem for myself.

Yes they do. Try Ethiopia Airlines or Rwanda Air. Or if you have the money, try Virgin or British Airways as they are both direct flights to Uk

Dear Guru in the house,

Please, I submitted an application in August on behalf of my sister, I didn't send a paid mail and didn't do anything but wait. So, I received a message from TLS now that the document and passport are ready for collection.

I have read in the thread that some people receive refusal mail.

My question is does it mean that the visa has been granted as there was no refusal mail?

Does that proof automatic that the visa has been granted?

Thanks in advance

On this, the Visa was granted.

Depends on the category of your visa. What type of visa did you apply for?

Standard visitor. I read somewhere here where a complaint was made and the refusal decision was reviewed

I dnt get why you see an airline has issues with govt/visa ban on Nigerians and so many back and forths and you still want to purchase a ticket from them… you dnt like your money or how?
Once it looks like stress, you people should save your mental health and check elsewhere

Transit visa not required. I don’t think you will have problem since you are only connecting from their country to another country.

Also, visa ban and entry ban are two different things. People with visas can still go in but they should expect more screening than before.

The best thing is for you to check with the airlines.

Although there is no right to appeal to visit visas, but you can try sending a paid mail to them. They will respond accordingly.

What was the response on the paid mail, if any? Because I doubt they won’t respond to a paid mail.

SUPERPRIORITY IS 950 GBP --- THEY SAID VISA WOULD BE PROCESSED WITHIN 24HRS, IF YOU MEET THE REQUIREMENTS

PRIORITY VISA IS 250 POUNDS...VISA IS OUT IN 5 WORKING DAYS.

Note the above costs are just for the appointment, your visa fee is separate based on how many years you applied for

Greetings friends,

I was notified through a paid call to UKVI yesterday (24/10/22) that a decision has been made on my visa application. The representative said I should be expecting a collection email from TLS.

Tracker is still at DMC..

Please from experience, how long does it take to get a collection mail after decision has been made.

Thank you.

Send another paid mail. This time around, let them know you have made previous enquiries with no response from them till date.

Remind them of the enquiry you made and how they failed to get back to you within the stated 5 working days timeframe. I’m sure you will get a response.

Make sure the content of your email is fierce, though not too fierce, because you only want to let them know of your disappointment towards their service and not to create further problems for yourself.

Goodluck with that in advance.

10 working days. If no mail, then you contact them.

And if you didn’t get any refusal mail from UKVI, congratulations in advance as well.

Goodluck and cheers!

As long as it hasn’t expired before main applicant’s trip, he/she is good to go.
