Wondering if anyone that did biometric last week has received collection email from TLS smiley

Did biometrics 8 june and transferred to DMC 8 june
Received by DMC 8 june
Today being 14/06/23 : Application Transferred To VAC
I am hoping VAC will receive the passport today and hopefully will be collected tomorrow.
Mind you, it's a visit visa but paid for priority services 250 GBP.
No how to know if visa granted or not, fingers crossed till hopefully tomorrow smiley

I did on the 1st June and I am yet to get a decision. I noticed people who did student visas around this day and even +1/2 days after mine, have received their decisions though (VI and ikeja)

Have you received any mail yet? I did biometrics on the 31st of May and nothing yet

Hi house. Anyone knows if it's possible for me to retrieve my passport from UKVI due to delay in issuing visa so I can continue to travel through another country?

It means you are automatically canceling your visa application and forgoing the visa fees. Next time when you have another trip to make, pay for ā€œkeep my passportā€ so it doesnā€™t affect your other trips. Which category of visa did you apply for?

A transit visa. I'll be booking another airline instead.

Thanks for your answer. Is the process as easy as just walking to TLS office?

Okay thatā€™s perfect then. If you walk into TLS and let them know what you want, it shouldnā€™t take more than 5-10mins for them to hand back your passport to you.

Turkish airlines, Ethiopian airlines, Egypt Air, Royal air maroc, Kenya airways, Rwandair; I avoided Turkey cos I felt it is Europe and had to pay more. Please, what if any of these Arilines transit through any of the countries requiring a schengen visa?
Longjonjoe:


The agent or whoever told you to pay transit visa just got free money. I am a travel agent. Traveling with any European airline to the UK eg Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, Alitalia will require you to present a any schengen transit visa you have on your transit stop with the airline if not you will be sent back. You dont pay 40k to an agent for transit visa. You apply for it(schengen visa) at the embassy of the airline hub eg applying for a france transit visa and at the french embassy or at VAC because you are using Air france to travel to the UK. Same paper work but takes a short time to process. Please be careful out there. BA does not require a transit visa because it is a direct flight. Turkish airlines, Ethiopian airlines, Egypt Air, Royal air maroc, Kenya airways, Rwandair. All these airlines do not require any transit visa when transiting through their country to the UK. I hope with this, I have stopped someone somewhere from making a mistake

Thank you once again. I got the letter from my University. Pls what means did you use to pay ECCTIS, did you use naira card? I'm trying to use my Zenith card but I'm scared and don't want my money to be hooked in the air. Pls can anyone tell me how they made payment to ECCTIS with naira card.

Wish you da best!

Where are you going?

None of the airlines you have listed require Schengen visa. Your reason for avoiding turkish airlines, seems misplaced

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Newbiein2016: 7:09pm On Jun 15, 2023
I'll just advise you double check your itinerary to ensure there's no stopover at a European country e.g. I have seen an Ethiopian airline itinerary that goes through Europe to Glasgow. So, in this case where passengers will (dis)embark, you might be asked to hold a valid Schengen visa.

I have also seen itineraries with technical stops. Usually, these are solely for the airline's benefit: to either run inspections on the aircraft or refuel etc. In this case, you don't need a transit visa.

That said, irrespective of what airline you choose, always confirm that the itinerary works for the visa you hold.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Newbiein2016: 7:11pm On Jun 15, 2023
This is a generic mail and implies your application may take longer to process. I wouldn't really worry about this.
