Can you please suggest any airline i can do the reservation?..

I usually use Ethiopian Airlines

gateleo:
I used ethiopianairlines.com for my previous reservation but now, I can't hold the booking..

Please any airlines I can book and hold payment?

you don’t need to hold the booking, even the embassy would advice you not to make any payments, just use the booking like that it, make it and print it or store it in pdf, won’t cause you any issues,
I only paid for mine to be held cause I had the visa with me- but had other things to use money for.

I have just been refused a tourist visa to denmark "There are reasonable doubts as to uour intention to leave the territory of the member states before the expiry of the visa" ..What could have caused this? I checked the flight reservation and I could not find it on the airline website ..I am planning to reapply to another country but I don't know which one has a faster response because this last one took 5weeks

flight reservations usually disappear after 24 hours,
Last 2 months I paid Turkish airlines are refundable $65 to hold mine for a week - because it was a cheap deal

gateleo:
Hello,

Please I am trying to book flight Reservation with ethiopianairlines.com but its requesting for payment..pls how do I book and hold or which other airlines can I do Reservation without paying

you’re not suppose to pay for reservations, just get an unpaid reservation that matches with your travel plans, wether it disappears or not is not a problem, it’s just there to demonstrate you have solid plans.

You will not need a transit visa when traveling through Turkish Airlines with a layover in Istanbul. However, you will be confined to the international transit area and cannot leave the airport. Stay vigilant and attentive to all information, scrutinize every detail carefully.Turkish Airlines has an unfortunate pattern of withholding information when disclosure might incur costs. I experienced this firsthand during a journey to Germany via Istanbul. When they canceled a flight in Abuja, my trip was disrupted for 20 hours. They provided hotel accommodation in Abuja for one night, which seemed promising. Yet upon reaching Istanbul, their officials became inexplicably hostile to reasonable questions, and I spent the night sleeping on an airport chair. Only the following morning did I discover they had quietly lodged some passengers from our Abuja flight in an airport hotel, information never offered to me despite my inquiries.Be proactive and assertive with your questions. Don't accept vague responses or dismissive gestures. Since I suspect this is your first time traveling with them, understand that you must advocate for yourself. Their customer service philosophy appears to prioritize cost containment over passenger welfare, particularly during disruptions.

Thank you
I may not use them again after this

If it is Multiple Visa, you can

Hi guys, please I’m traveling through turkey next month via Turkish airlines with a 19 hour layover at Istanbul, do I need a transit visa ?

Why do people people move to other countries just for child delivery?

I see it as an exploitation of the visited countries.

lmao

I moved into a new apartment recently...

I just dey notice say this my other neighbor always have boys boys sleeping over and recently I saw condoms and delay spray in his trash bin. Meanwhile, I have never ever seen any girl visit.

Now normally I won't see it at any big deal but I remember my experience back then in Jos of one of my federal road safety officer neighbor who used to behave similar with guys always hanging around until he made a sexual move on me.


Now my instinct and awareness is on full alert.

Try nonsense with me first...my eyes on you! 👀

No mind your business, they check person dustbin, grown man

Your darling OP created a thread full of downloaded pictures displaying crude dishonesty. Should you not reprimand her for that rather castigating innocent Nairalanders? Was she compelled to create a thread with pictures that don't belong to her?

wereh, na you dey falsely accuse person

Hi
Greetings everyone

Please I need your advice on how to go about my application with tourist visa application especially how to explain my finances .I intend to do a 2 weeks holiday in August.Going to see my elder sister and the Family who are British citizens.I will be staying at their place during holiday but I will be sponsoring myself 100% .

I do a 9-5 job here and I earn 578k monthly.I also run a Logistics Company as my side business.I pay my self 1m - 1.5M monthly from it . Last year 2024 total Inflow into the business account was 153M .I have a fixed deposit of 12M with RenMoney MFB and upto 25M investment in mutual funds. I plan to spend £3K for the trip.

For the business account my CAC annual returns is upto date,but Tax clearance isn't yet

My worry is,my salary account which receives 578k monthly.I still use it for other personal and business transactions that runs into several millions.

What's the best explanation to give on these inflows on my salary account

This is the first time I am applying for a visa.I am married with 2 kids but I am going alone


I will appreciate a sound advice


Thanks

I believe there’s still time for you to organize your account and have an application that is free of money lodgement explanations.
Let your salary account be for your salaries alone, monthly expenditures should be similar for all months.

Wow, wow, wow! I'm so sorry to hear this. Did they lose your bag on the Lagos to Istanbul route? After hearing about this unfortunate incident, I'm not going to bother flying with Turkish anymore. Can't risk having an airline lose my bag in 2025. My choice is between Qatar Airways and Air Peace now.

No
Istanbul to Lagos,
Apparently they said the plane had excess luggage, they didn’t inform us prior to our departure, only to arrive and we could see our luggage’s at the luggage claim
It was about 5 of us

b31164707:
Thank you. I agree Qatar Airways is very good, but I'm inclined to give Turkish Airlines a try since I've never used them before and since they appear to be quite affordable. I also noticed a significant price difference between the two airlines. Turkish Airlines is about 1.2m Naira for a round-trip (not bad), while Qatar is about 1.8 to 1.9m Naira for a round-trip after choosing seats, hence I'll be saving good money by using Turkish Airlines. Hopefully, they won't disappoint me.

yea
Turkish lost my bag in November, got it back after 5 days, 0 compensation

b31164707:
Good morning everyone. I'm currently debating between using Qatar Airways to London via Doha and Turkish Airlines to London via Istanbul. I know they're both good airlines, but can anyone who has used both recommend the better option especially for layovers in Qatar or Turkey? Turkish Airlines is the more affordable option, but I'm also prioritizing excellent customer service, hospitality and safety. Thank you

Qatar airlines is much better IMO

davodyguy:
My advice was on the premise of what you earn.

If you earn so much, then you should pay so much, which is about 1/3 or what you earn. That's how it is in most countries in the world.

But if you have have ₦300,000 per annum, it's simple.

You can walk up to any LIRS tax station, they would help you produce 3 years tax clearance

2022 ₦300,000
2023 ₦300,000
2024 ₦300,000

They would gladly jump at this offer, because it would help them meet their target given to them by the government.

I just like helping people, I don't know why, may be because if my background and upbringing, reason I always breakdown posts in very lengthy fashion, so you can easily understand


The attachment is exactly how TCC in Lagos State Looks like. Exactly how it is. Your image would appear, name and signature of Ayo Subair, who's the Chairman of LIRS

Thank you
I will do this right away

davodyguy:
Dont quote me out of context or make up what I did not say

N2million gross per month is N24million per year.

30% of that money should go for tax

Summary
If you make ₦24,000,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦7,467,200. That means that your net pay will be ₦16,532,800 per year, or ₦1,377,733 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.1% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of ₦100 in your salary will be taxed ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.

choice is yours.

“With what you said you earn, your annual tax should not be less than ₦1million if you're to be properly assessed.”
I’m not taking you out of context or making what you didn’t say,
I just included the advice you gave me which I wholeheartedly appreciated, neither did I relay it in a negative way, please don’t turn me into a liar in a public forum.
Thanks for your advice once again

giselle237:
Ukvi will not deny you and state the reason is because you are paying insufficient ties to Inland Revenue of Nigeria, that’s not their business. Try and work on your ties to Nigeria and close ALL possible loopholes for a denial.

thank you
I’d do that, I don’t know if you’d remember but I’ve actually applied before, gotten a date, travelled for submission and canceled a day before submission. I posted it all here on January 2024, lol.
I’m not in a haste. I decided to work on myself after that visited 6 countries so far, visiting china next month for business too.
Just want this uk visa as it’ll enable me to even be eligible for some countries e-visa that require at least a valid Uk visa

good day everyone, please I wanted to find out if paying low taxes would affect me in Uk visa applications
I’m self employed, I own a gadget store and I pay myself 2m monthly for a year now, when inquired about how much my tax should be @davodyguy said it’ll be nothing less than 1m (but honestly i don’t want spend that much paying tax)
Will paying an amount like 300k work without issues?

williamszooh:
which clue do you need again?, you will confirm the final decision, immediately the your passport is being delivered to you by the courier service,thank you

if you can’t be polite, read and ignore, no one forced you to reply

b31164707:
Welcome back man. How many months bank statements did you use for your visa application again?

lol
The lack of empathy

davodyguy:
That's local government tax, more like trade permit.

This is different from PIT.

It's the LIRS that will tell you your PIT for the past 3 years, so you can obtain TCC Tax Clearance Certificate. I got mine for 2021, 2022 &2023 which was submitted to UKVI

With what you said you earn, your annual tax should not be less than ₦1million if you're to be properly assessed.

Your annual tax should be between 10-21% of the ₦24m you said you earn annually

This is so detailed, thank you so much
I appreciate

davodyguy:
Go to any tax office close to you, they'll advise you.

There's something called Direct Assessment

Thank you I’d go
Cause I was assessed
My store is new, the payable tax I saw there is 15,000 naira

Hi everyone, I own my business, I pay my self 2 million Naira monthly (500,000 every week, never missed a week) and I spend 400,000 - 500,000 monthly and my pocket money is 200,000 monthly
How much do you guys think I should pay for my tax.
Looking forward to feedbacks, thanks

knightingale:
A question please. My travel purpose is tourism at the same time I would like to dedicate a day to fly to another Schengen country to source for suppliers for my business (not buying any product, just sourcing suppliers for future business transactions) Can I mention this in the itinerary and cover letter? Is it safe to mention that? I am confused if they might deem the purpose of my visit as business and not tourism.
Please advise. Thanks a lot

Please just erase the thought, don’t let it slip out even at Poe

davodyguy:
Push to front page because you're the first person to be refused?

😂

Bro, you're refused because they believe you may not want to return back to Nigeria

you’re a m1serable person

Tonyblinky:
Why not ask the gatekeeper?

If you don’t have an answer to his question then look and pass, some of you are unnecessarily rude

tomoregie:
I gave up today.. it has been a devastating experience for me - they suddenly make changes in the way they ship telling you they had issues with their shipper and they are going to ship with another one - you pay 5 times what the cost of what you buy and their prices are just flying all over the place while they spend so much time delivering it to you - starting to suspect they ship everything via sea and just give excuses of flood in Houston and issues with shipper - na so husband and wife don dey spoil their business

mehnnnnn, their shipping now takes a whole lot of time
