I have given up on uk visa, I have canada and been to canada 4 times, been to France and all scheghen countries 3 times, been to turkey, have valid USA, valid France, have valid canada, valid turkey, have a business, earn salary, and these people still denied me, talking a bout tax...there was no document I dint submit, company profile and so on,

have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph(s) V4.2 to V4.6 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for Visitors
because:
• You state that you intend to visit the UK for 8 days for the purpose of tourism.
• You state that you are self-employed earning a yearly income of 6,000,000.00 NGN
(£4,929.88 @ exchange rate £1 = 1,217.07 NGN). You state that you intend to spend
£2,000.00 on the visit and you state you receive additional income yearly of
£12,000.00.
• I note you have businesses generating income. However, the information provided
does not demonstrate the level of income each business generates yearly or the
income you receive from it. I am therefore not satisfied that you have accurately
portrayed your personal circumstances. This in turn leads me to doubt your intentions
and credibility in wanting to travel on this occasion.
• In addition, documents provided do not demonstrate your paying taxes in your home
country for the business mentioned . Therefore, this undermines the credibility of
your application.
• Given the above, I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor
and that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your application is
therefore refused under paragraph V 4.2 (a) and (c).

Do you pay tax on your businesses generating income?
Dors the tax you pay tally with the business income you presented?
Well the VO does not believe so.

Sorry about the refusal.

Have you really been to all 27 Schengen Countries 3 times or you simply want to brag? All Schengen Countries 3 times?

I doubt if you have the extensive travel history you claim to have. If you do, UK will not focus on any tax issue. I say this from experience. If you have US and/or Canadian Visa, UK will not stress you. All these valid visas you are bragging about...Something is not adding up....

Try and reduce your documents in your next application.
Your highlight should be your ties to Nigeria (try and get a tax clearance certificate for your business) and your previous travel history. Even 2 months' bank account statement will suffice.

I'm sorry to hear about your refusal. If your travel history is indeed as you said, you shouldn't have issues.

However, making claims like "all Schengen countries" 3 times sounds a little wild. This means you have been to every single one of the 27 Schengen countries, 3 times which is a total of 81 trips. Be careful when making sweeping and absolute statements. I hope you didn't write this on your cover letter and they found this arrogant and inaccurate. Nigerians tend to say things that aren't accurate and the UK will take it as misrepresentation. Just like someone saying the person who invited them is their Uncle. I am British and and an Uncle is your mum or dad's brother. But in Nigeria, an Uncle is basically any elder man in the family. In this particular woman's case, she meant her mum's cousin etc. and the UK disagreed with her on this.

From what I see, your finances do not match up with the persona you portrayed to them so they suspect you're a dubious character who has possibly charmed your way into other countries. That's my take. Clean up your business and personal finances, pay your taxes and present yourself accurately to them.

1 Pay yourself a salary into your personal account every month and that should be the primary income there. Obviously, the salary should be a logical amount that's healthy and not eroding your business revenue/profit.
2 You Should present the personal and business account but make sure your business account is active on CAC.
3 Do not resort to inflation, sending through large deposits within the six-month period.
4 Spend as you normally would in your personal account, leaving some each month so that is accumulated to a healthy balance.
5 Review the statement first before you indicate your income, expenditure, and budget. Make sure the annual income matches the statement income. Annual income should ideally be X2 of your 6month statement. The expenditure should also follow the same principles.
6 Budget for the trip should ideally not exceed 2 months’ income. There is no hard and fast rule about this, but people have been rejected for a budget that was X4 their income. Ensure your taxes are paid.
7 However, ensure this budget covers your entire trip. Breakdown flight, accommodation, food, transport and a little bit for shopping and entertainment (not mandatory).
8 I personally advise that you try to ensure that the available balance in your account is 2X the budget for the trip. Because they expect that you have funds to go back to when you get back home. So, you can use your available balance to work backwards to see the budget you have available for the trip and therefore the number of days you can afford to stay.

These are my thoughts and of course there have been exceptions to the rules, both positive and negative. All the best! Please note that the next application has to be thorough cause they'll find something else to pick on next time.

Please read through the thread. Everything you need to know is here and then you can come back to ask specific questions.

You need proof of the relationship- Marriage certificate, photos, correspondence, birth certificates of your children, tenancy agreement or property ownership with both your names.
Business reg documents, active on CAC, Business account statement, tax clearance, your personal statement showing regular remittances form the business account et al.

But you need to read through this thread; there's a lot of prework required. Goodluck!


mirob:
Good morning All.

Please I want to know how to go about this; my husband wants to fully sponsor my visit to the Uk for his PHD graduation in April, and the school has already given him ticket to invite his family.

We want to start the application this January, we have proof of relationship, my question is what documents do I need to present.

I was a fashion designer which i registered the business in 2022 but was not active , I later changed to a lingerie business which I do mostly online but I have a physical shop.
Do I need tax clearance for my travel or is it only for my husband since he is solely sponsoring the trip.

I want to stay for only 10 days.

Please what do I do so that they will not deny me this visa since this is my first trip out of Nigeria and I have never applied for visa to any country.

Thanks

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by AmeliaT: 3:34pm On Jan 15
Hello,

This is a very vague question. There is no such thing as a minimum amount. Let's separate the key themes here.

1. First question is if you meet the requirements for the 10 year visa. How many previous UK visas have you held? How many times did you use the visa? What's your travel history like? 5 and 10 year visas are for people who will do multiple visits.

2. So, if you have the credibility, you need to write a cover letter explaining this and also lay out your UK travel plans for at least the next one year. When you plan to go, the reasons and the duration for each.

3. Budget- Number 2 will determine number 3. Your budget for the trip should factor in flights, accommodation, food, transport, entertainment, shopping etc.; as may be relevant to your trip. You need to breakdown the budget in your application.

4. Your earnings. Budget should not disproportionately outweigh your earnings as that is a red flag.

5. Your balance should be realistic and not inflated; your statements should be clean and your balance must be at least 2X the budget for your next trip.

My friend earns 8m a month. His UK travel budget is usually about 3m for himself so his balance can be his monthly salary of 8m. One of my friends earns about 2m a month, her budget is about 2.5m usually and keeps a balance of 2 month salary in her account of 4m. So, it all depends. Someone who then earns 250k a month wanting to also spend 2.5m which is 10X their monthly salary and having a balance of 8m which they can't explain will look suspicious.

I don't believe your travel history. You said ALL. Now, it's major Countries. If this is how you brag and provide inconsistent information, I'm not surprised about the outcome of your application. I insist that UK will never stress you if you have half of the travel history you claim you have. Never. Take this from someone who has been travelling to the UK since 1977. Yes, 47 years.

Be true to yourself. We don't know you and you don't need to colour the truth. I doubt if you can afford the extensive travel history you claim based on your purported income. Too many holes in your story...

Reapply and present only relevant and genuine documents. I know very few people who have been to more than 15 Schengen Countries - and they are well heeled individuals....

I'm sorry about that. I think they don't trust that your business is legal and there's no way for them to state it. Luckily, you have multiple visas and access to other countries so enjoy! The UK is not the end all be all. I much prefer the US and the Caribbean.

After sometime, you can come back claiming one simple business; not multiple. Clean statements, active CAC, tax payments, audited financial accounts and a strong cover letter. I agree with @cashmadam that your use of superlative words like- "All the countries" "everywhere" "every other country" etc. may be off putting to them. I help my husband with his cover letters and applications and I always state the exact number e.g. 17 countries in Europe. "All", "Everything" are absolute terms that mean exactly that to the UK and if your declared travel history didn't match your statement, it could throw them off.

FYI, At my husband's first US visa interview, he was a first time traveler and someone ahead of him was a frequent traveler and the interviewer was asking him questions that he felt insulted by and the man started reeling out his travel history to Italy, South Africa and he brought out his bank statement which showed over 40 M Naira; my husband could see from where he was standing and this was years ago. My husband said he was nervous as he didn't even have up to 10% of that in his account. The man was still there being questioned when my husband did his interview, got approved and left. The interviewer did not find his cockiness endearing at all. One must be careful.

Wishing you the best!

Being a while since I Justwise posts on this thread. Share with him and some other elders the reasons you were denied he will be able to guide you. However, he does not attend to people privately he does it on the thread for others to learn. Going forward you can share with him the reasons for your last denial and address it.

I will ask you, what is the percentage of people out of 100 that claim no travel history and got visa? I doubt if they are more than 20, that is "if". The truth is , genuine documents, good presentations and some support documents can give you visa on a first time, with much of luck. Nowadays, i will advice anyone thinking oversea countries to try to build their histories well, cos these people be getting really tougher with people with less or no history especially the schengen countries and making lot of immigration policies.

Look at Spain recently, Out of 280 persons that applied in December for visas, only 30 were given. so wassup with that?

I will ask you, what is the percentage of people out of 100 that claim no travel history and got visa? I doubt if they are more than 20, that is "if". The truth is , genuine documents, good presentations and some support documents can give you visa on a first time, with much of luck. Nowadays, i will advice anyone thinking oversea countries to try to build their histories well, cos these people be getting really tougher with people with less or no history especially the schengen countries and making lot of immigration policies.

.
No man arrogate knowledge to theirselves, it is an open floor for constructive arguement, they will not leave out your advice, they will pick everyone's advice and make the best of them.

Goodmorning

Despite several users advising that he owns up it, looks like he went ahead to use the visa as given

Did he report this? It will help his credibility with UKVI.


I told him to do the right thing, but he will not listen.

Please read through the thread. Everything you need to know is here and then you can come back to ask specific questions.

You need proof of the relationship- Marriage certificate, photos, correspondence, birth certificates of your children, tenancy agreement or property ownership with both your names.
Business reg documents, active on CAC, Business account statement, tax clearance, your personal statement showing regular remittances form the business account et al.

But you need to read through this thread; there's a lot of prework required. Goodluck!



Thank you so much, I will read through

Good evening house, please i need urgent advice from the expert here.
My wife and i relocated to the UK mid 2023 without our two kids who are less than 6years old. i submitted their application last week with a new birth certificate for both of them because we couldnt find their first birth certificate.

The issue now is that UKVI sent a message recently asking why a kid that was giving birthday to over 4yrs ago is having date of 2024 on birth the certificate which is the date the birth certificate was issued. Also to explain the document i submitted to obtain this new birth certificate.

We actually have less than 10days to respond to this information.

Please house i need advice on this and the supporting documents to explain this.

Thanks everyone. Anticipating response on this.

Simply reply it is a typo error from NPC or the hospital and attach the right certificate.

At all. The complicates it more. Why would NPC make that kinda mistake. The best thing is to say they lost the original BC and had to get a replacement from NPC. They could supply pictures from the naming ceremony, pictures from Preggy days with dates showing that period.
