Well as long as the source of your funds is clear, I do not think that 2m would be enough to fund your trip since that’s the only money you have in there. Try to save for more 6 months. 700k times 6 will be about 4.2m added to your 2m, that will be 6.2m. By then you should have sufficient funds to be able to apply for your visa, because it makes no sense emptying your account just for a trip.

Mrmoney90:


Is the 1.6m the current balance in the new 6 months bank statement?

SarahKrm2:


Sorry I think you mistook my previous statement
I want to apply in July not now
But what I wanted to know is if my opening balance of 2m was reasonable to start building my account as they have been refusing visas based on opening balance.

AskGod07:
Opening balance is 1,611,651 million @ July 2022

New 6 month bank statement i.e (salary) @ 550k monthly is 3.3m minus 100k monthly expenditures for 6month : 2,7m

Opening balance of 1,611,651 + New 6 month disposable income is 2.7m :

Closing balance is 4,311,651 @ Aug 2022 to January 2023( New 6month)

Pls is there anything wrong for a court marriage certificate to Carry 2 different dates of same month and Year,

My sister's court wedding certificate is carrying 20th of june as the Day of when married which was on Sunday and another date dated 23rd june same month and year with a government stamp and signature of the Court marriage registrar,

Note, her church white wedding day was on 20th June which was on Sunday and 23rd June was on Wednesday, my Question is This,

Is it Right for a wedding certificate to Carry both date's or should they use Only 23rd which was officially from the marriage registrar, though in The form, when married was asked and they inserted 20th June which was the day of their church white wedding,

Hope those two dates will not raise any additional questions from UKvi officer's?

Pls we need urgent response from guru's and couple's and dependant's that already gotten Their UK Visa's by submitting marriage certificate as a requirement.

For self assisted service, you only need your passport, a photocopy of the bio data page of your passport, you don’t need to go with the checklist. They actually require just 3 paper documents for self assisted. Just can’t remember all 3

Hello,
Please ma/sir, would like to know if I require a fit to fly from my hospital or FAAN.
I have a short trip to Uk in Feb and would be exactly 19 weeks on my departure date.
Thank you

samsung007:
Good afternoon to all the boss and boss lady in this forum. I really did learn a lot from the little I have been reading.
Please,I have a question to ask. I have biometric on the first week of February and I opt for assisted service. My question is that do I have to go with the original documents and I should make coloured copy’s of those documents with me because I don’t understand TLS websites and choices.

Your opinion will be greatly appreciated

giselle237:
they are asking for assisted service.. they do need to go with all copies in a4 of their documents

Ashirioluwa:


The OP needs information about assisted service. He needs to go there with his documents so they can help him upload them to his application portal.

Mrmoney90:


Your account is good to go for you to apply. Atleast you built it well. You can submit the one year payslips and your six months bank statement. But make sure that if you got change of salary at any point in time, it should be noted in a cover letter o. And importantly, hope your monthly spending didn’t exceed what you said you spend every month in your bank statement.

In the absence of any discrepancy, I would wish you good luck with your application, and I hope you will get it this time

Mrmoney90:


Yes it’s reasonable Na, judging from your 850k monthly pay.. you are good to go in 6 months time 👍🏾

SarahKrm2:


Hmmm are you sure they won’t say it’s too low giving my salary?

AskGod07:
If I submit 1 year pay-slips and 6 month bank statement should I still need to explain about the savings till what left as my Opening balance ? Because my opening balance of 1.611,651 represents approximately my 4 month disposable income before new 6 month statement of account.

Or I’m thinking that Out of 1 year payslips my new 6 month bank account will take 6 month, and the remaining 6 month is for the savings on my opening balance which 4 month as already shows on my opening balance. Maybe the remaining 2 month I should claim it on something tangible that I use it for then I will provide a document to back it up

Note: 1 years Payalips you advised me to submit is exclusive with my new 6 month bank account?

Thanks ololade Mr money

I really appreciate your insights

Mrmoney90:


Ok, first of all before I proceed, how much have you been earning consistently for the past one year?

AskGod07:

My salary didn’t changed since 2020, I was earning 550k monthly after tax

Amylew:
Guys, pls how best to handle this.
My friend wants to reapply immediately as his mum got refused. It’s an application to visit him in the UK primarily but she stated that she was a petty trader but could not supply evidence that the business was registered. And of course no company account.

She has opening balance of about 3.5m, savings from through the years. With a 750k deposit by the sim which they failed to highlight.
But the savings account opening and closing balance are almost same. From what I read here there should be an upward curve.
However he is the sponsor. Has an health bank balance of about 8k pounds. Payslips and all.

If the son is the sponsor does the applicants account details matter much?
Pls, How best to surmount the hurdle of what she does for a living in this new application? Especially as we already said she’s a petty trader in the last application.
She’s retired but manages a petty store.

Is it compulsory to have a source of living lol.

AskGod07:

Baba should I still explain the opening balance and the previous savings that I used to purchased a car and submit 1yrs payslips ?

Or I should not even bother to explain opening balance and closing balance?

Sorry for asking too much questions oooo

Thanks bro, I acknowledge you

Mrmoney90:


Actually, if the information you provided is straightforward, there will be really no need explaining both opening and closing balances. There is also no need explaining the car purchase as that part of the bank statement that shows that transaction wouldn’t be included in the 6 months bank statement. Your payslips are just fine. You can just say the opening balance is as a result of your salary earning. But if you still feel you want to say your opening balance got to 1.5m because you purchased a car, it’s still fine. And you can include the receipt of the purchase as proof. Your closing balance should be self explanatory as long as the information you provided(in terms of earnings and expenditures), matches the attached documentation.

AskGod07:

Nice quote ijeshaoflondo!!!

But when you reach 110-115, do you later complete it to 120k monthly expenses?

AskGod07:

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Is it good or not to explain the opening balance and closing balance in a cover letter ?

SarahKrm2:
Hello All

I’ve been following this page for a while and in the process of building my account to apply in summer for a visit.
However this source opening balance thing is very confusing, seeing as you have confirmed employment and payslips.
My salary account is what I use for my savings. I earn 850k monthly. Reasonably how many months disposable income do the ECO expect to see? I know there’s no set figure, but would around 2m be reasonable, considering I just finished renovating my house? Or would they say it’s too low or too high?


So I don’t waste 6 months running account only to hear story at the end.

Ashirioluwa:

As of today you don’t need “Fit to fly certificate” to travel to the UK.

NdiEgede:
Greetings all, I am filling out applications for a Standard Visitor’s Visa. I am a student and have no source of income yet apart from little savings. My intention of visiting is to go help my elder sister who is expectant, hence she is sponsoring all my expenses including, flights, accommodation and living costs.

While filling this, i was asked to provide the personal funds i will be contributing to my trip, but i have also stated that this trip is being sponsored by my sister who is living in the UK and who i am visiting. I have been asked to provide supporting documents which includes my own personal bank statement.

I want to know how to go about it as all the funds for my trip is directly coming from sister. Thanks
