When was the 10yrs ban introduced?

i remember it was not long after my last application than the ban thing filtered....think 2009

It was 2008

opsy4real1: hello to you all on this thread...I need experienced people in the house to profer meaningful advice toward re-applying for a u.k tourist visa anytime frm now after 6years i was denied. I was denied twice actualy of student visas in 2007 and 2008 respectively. In 2006, my refusal was based on d fact that they doubt d genuinety of my sponsor's statement of account and that funding my education wud impose an additional financial burden upon him and that they r not satisfied that the increased financial outlay is commensurate with his current economic circumstances and that such funds wud actualy be available to me in da u.k. . Second time around i reapplied in 2008 and again denied on the ground that 'i was unemployed and i already have a degree from 2006 and yet i av failed to secure any employment and i have failed to submit any evidence of my own financial circumstances. in an overall assesment of d credibility of the application, they r nt satisfied the cost of the study is proportionate to my current economic circumstances or that there are advantages i might derive frm dis course of study. I am nt satisfied, on d balance of probabilities that i intend to follow d course. It further stated that my application also falls to be refused unda paragraph 320(7A) of d immigration rules:where false representations av been made or false documents have been submitted(whether or not material to d applicaton,and whether or not to d applicant's knowledge) or material facts av not been disclosed in relation to d application. You state dat d cost of ur tuition.maintenance and accomodation is to be borne by ur uncle mr. Bleep. As evidence of his means u av submitted 2 vehicle proof of ownershp certificates. As a result of checks made by this office i am satisfied to a high degree of probability that this document is nt genuine and the production of such documents undermines d credibility of my applicatn and causes me to doubt ur intentions in the u.k..(this is my story) Now i am self employed afta workin for a company for 2 yrs btw 2010 and 2012. I registered my biz in jan 2013(abt 7months ago) and now I av a vry gud income and bank balance..i av traveled to 4 countries within last 2 yrs. Now i plan to apply for a u.k tourist visa. Wat r my chances as per my previous applicatns wit dem?

Even if the foul was committed before the ban system came into effect, you will still get the ban the very moment that you apply for a visa, and even after serving the 10 years, you may still be asked to explain what actually took place

There is a question for you,at this link https://www.nairaland.com/967110/main-reasons-many-refused-visas/19

Had a friend with a similar case,in fact the wordings of the refusal notice are exactly the same,so I am interested in knowing what your advise will be for this person.

I trust you'd do justice.

Won't it be more reasonable if the person asks the question him/herself?

Good day guys, have read a lot about your advises and think it' Ok for me to seek for one.
I applied for UK visa in August 2003, I was refused on ground that the training date I was going for was already past, cant remember other reasons.
My concern now is this, I have since not applied for UK visa because I knew the wedding certificate presented then was FAKE (I quoted the date of my traditional introduction which was in May), though I got legally married same year in November.
In the last five years, I have been to few countries (China,US, South Africa, Germany,Spain,France, Netherland all these severally except US which was once), economically too I have had tremendous leap, run my own business on 300K a month.
I have factory producing water (table),have a property worth 15million, another under construction, have another business doing a turn over of average of 30million per anumn.
Am married with kids and we have done family trips to SA & Paris and other cities of Schenghen.
My question is this: Will they not visit my sin of fake document of 2003 on me, as honestly speaking the only country of repute in Europe I have not visited is UK and I want to go....candid advise needed.

Vicjustice:
It depends on your destinations and the (country's visa) that you already have. If you are passing through there on transit, you'd need a TRANSIT VISA, and if you're visiting the territories, you'd need a UK VISIT/TOURIST VISA with a remark explicitly giving you clearance into the territories

Thank you VicJustice, I'm heading to Turks and Caicos. Planning to spend 2-3 months there.
So, which one will I be needing, Transit visa through UK or Visiting Visa.
Thanks.

VicJustice, pls yu skipped my post @ d previous page. Thanks

Like with many of these tiny Caribbean Islands, visa is not normally required for Nigerian passport holders who have something reasonable to do in there, yet, entry can not be guaranteed

@Vicjustice , you seem to be the expert here, kindly respond.

You can't be refused a visa on the ground that you are single, many single people get their visas on daily basis.
Perhaps the problem here is your tie, maybe you did not demonstrate that you have a reason to return to Nigeria?
Well, whatever reason it may be, it is reasonable to understand that some Visa Officers are sadists, they just enjoy to see people frustrated by the power of their decisions.
Since you have not given enough details to work with, i'm only using this economical information that you provided...

Thanks for the info.
The underlisted are the informations i submitted.

Good morning Oga Justwise and Vicjustice.

As a company owner, do I need to write self introduction letter?

Is it compulsory I prepare a pay slip for myself?

Should I also write outlining my reason for wishing to visit UK and what I will do in the UK?,

Should I write undertaking in a separate letter head that I will observe the conditions of my visa and return back to family and business, especially to my new contract with two reputable companies.

I have my company tax clearance certificate from the federal government, do I also need my personal income tax certificate from Lagos state?

I'm using two different bank statements, current and domiciliary. I am not including my company's account as it was recently opened 3Months ago. I have a business I just did with a reputable company and payment has been made by bank cheque which was deposited into the company's account. can I include the account statement or get a letter from the bank confirming the existence of the account.

Both my current and domiciliary accouts have been running for two years with good inflow and outflow, but they are personal savings and withdrawals as I do door to door delivery of petroleum products and its cash payment on delivery. This is before the company was incorporaed this year. This is where the real problem is. What do I do about this one?


Thank you

I like to answer your questions in their orders.
1) It is not necessary to write a "self introduction letter", the company's paperworks are sufficient to tell who you are.
2) If you are on salaries or wages, then payslips may be required otherwise, your bank statements alone can do it.
3) Writing a (seperate) letter to outline the reason(s) for wishing to travel is not necessary, you don't want to give them unnecessary details that would stir up reasons for more questions.
4) Writing an undertaking in a separate letter head that you will observe the conditions of the visa is not a particularly good idea, it is actually condescending to yourself: there are terms and conditions that you will have to sign at the end of the form.
5) Talking about tax certificate, as a company owner, you should have both the company's tax certificate as a proof of legitimacy as well as your personal tax certificate as a proof of revenue compliance.
For questions 5 & 6, please, refer to the article on this link:

If you are applying for visiting visa for the 1st time you will be asked to deposit 3000 pounds, when you visit and come back without overstaying your visa the money will be refunded to you but if you overstayed your visa then you lose the money.

A magic like never before.
I got to realise how lazy some visa officers can be. I used a particular set of documents to apply for my wife and she was refused ,i used the same set of documents to apply for her sister and she was granted a visa.
Some ECOs dont look into documents carefully and make dumb conclusion.The balance on my account was about 800k so i decided to put in the application differently to avoid been question about what the 800k can do. funny enough documents i used for my wife were originals while those used for her sister were photocopies except for bank statments. To crown it all my,documents showing my wifes business were also presented while none was presented for her sis cos she claimed to be absolutely dependant.
