mamawa123: My 6 months UK Visa expired 3 months ago. To reapply/renew what documents do u think I will need. Also can I do it online or paper application

uchechuwku: Hello guys.
Please, how do I go about getting a UK transit visa.
I'm heading towards belize for vacation. Thanks

aozy:
My question is: what are our chances?

aozy:
The visa fee per dependant is abt 130,000 naira i.e 390,000 for us all; can't it be reduced since we are applying as a family?

aozy:
Is there anything else I need to know and prepare?

aozy:
Also, can we get a flight fee as a family that's is reduced? Or do I need to pay for my son who's 2 and a complete fare for my daughter who's 5?

I am trying to apply for student visitor visa on the new online UK visa application form, surprisingly, on the form where type of visa was asked; there were option for study and visit. I chose visit(hoping it is correct)

But when asked what kind of visit; there was no option for student! the options available were general, tourist, entertainer, sport, special, other( supposed this is for military personnel).

I am confuse. Can you help?

If I choose Study, the options available are tier 4 and non-tier 4( I feel this is not it)

Vicjustice: If my understanding is right, you are a STUDENT and you want to VISIT the UK, therefore, you should take the option of VISIT and then tick TOURIST

NO, they don't have such trade policy of "buy one and get a second at half price"

Victjustice pls i need your urgent advise on this for my friend in Nigeria. He just got admission to come and study Master International Business at American College Dublin. Infarct he has paid the 1year tuition fee in full this morning. But the problem is : He is the one running his dad business. The business is not registered in Nigeria, and the business income goes straight into his account. His dad will provide his personal account because his dad is his sponsor. The tuition paid in cash into his account and transferred to the school.

His problem is: do you think the Irish Embassy won't ask his dad business registration cert? especially tax clearance?
He handle his dad business as per they deal with sawmill equipments sales and repair, but the issue is the business is not registered and they don't pay tax on it.

aozy: @vicjustice. Thanks for ur reply. I appreciate.
I made a mistake in d timing. He got the job in august and he started fully in september 2013 working.
He was on probation for 6mths which he did his review at abt march or april.
The skool was and is quite impressed with performance/job. He's through with the probation period.

Vicjustice:
Pardon my harshness, and i will tell you the truth, not according to my opinion, but according to the perspectives of Visa Officers.
It will be impossible to use such unregistered and undocumented business as his father's means of income: in the eyes of Europeans, his father is a tax cheat and a corrupt business owner. In Ireland, this is a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment or a fine or both.

dotcom_na_me_na_me:

Ok thanks, but is it possible to pay this year tax on the business when the business is not registered yet?

Vicjustice:
Register the business and then pay its taxes

dotcom_na_me_na_me:

Thats exactly what i said to him. But the problem now is he must resume in September, so b4 his would register the business and pay the tax, i don't think he will meet up his resume date in Dublin... Alternatively i'll suggest to him to look for another sponsor... But even if he got another sponsor, does that mean he can't still included his dad personal statement and his own too?

Hi guys,it's me again.Justwise,Vicjustice,hope you're all good. I'm still on the maybe to marry in uk or not matter......Let me run through my case again...Have A British Fiance and British son,I'm still on my visitors visa,me n my boy are actually in uk @ the moment on a visit with his dad. Well,he still can't get time off work to come to Nigeria so we could get married,some say we could marry here and when i return home,i could put in the application for a spousal visa,others say,cos i'm on visitors visa,it could hinder my application...Please guys,my questions now are
*should i go home and apply for a fiance visa instead?
*i still have a valid visitors visa to expire Aug 2014,do i have to wait for that to expire before applying for the fiance visa
We really want to decide quick cos our son is getting older and needs a more stable life(school,friends etc). Haven't really seen success stories on fiance application from Nigeria or should we try marriage visit visa? I cant even which is which exactly,pls guys i need helppppp . Since he applied as my sponsor for my present visitors visa and i was granted,i believe we have the documents for either applications but which is better and faster too.Thank you guys

Riteshfx:

Type of visa = Visit
Purpose = Special Visitor
Type of application = (Special) student visitor, up to 6 months.
I hope this helps.

As your partner is British the law will not stop him from marrying you, its his human right but getting a spouse visa in the UK with that marriage certificate will be a tough one.

Hello again, Justwise. I dropped a message for you on one of your threads. Please I need to discuss something with you. Please send an empty message to I will reply you immediately. Thanks.

justwise:

Please is it visa related?

Pepe-A:


Justwise,so you dont think it could make them refuse or delay my application if i return to Nigeria to apply? Getting a place to marry here isn't easy either because part of their requirement is to provide my passport and i fear if they see my type of visa they'll ask us to get a COA from the home office......what about the fiance visa or marriage visit,you dont have any idea about either of that? I'm confused mehnnnnn!...thanks for ur contribution dear,i appreciate it.

swiftz:

Kind of. Mostly education-related. Thanks.

justwise:

I never heard anything like marriage visit visa or fiance visa, all i know is spouse visa.

You can't get married here without presenting your passport. Visit the registry for advice, there is nothing wrong with that, if they refused to carry out the marriage because you are on visiting visa then it has to be done in Nigeria. There is no two ways about it. They will not ask you to get COA from HomeOffice, that has stopped. You don't need that now to get married in the UK
