Hello everyone.
Is the 28day statement of account for health and care visa like the one for visitor visa where you have to explain income and expenses?
Would a debit that states refund of loan, raise any eyebrows?

When is the best time to start up the visa process for September intake, would really want to know the exact period to start ..

Thank you so much.

Please can I do my POF as a MA or should I use my husband's account to increase my chances? He has good inflow and outflow.

I'm asking this becauee I've just been denied Canada visa. I'd appreciate any help here to make the process as seamless as possible. Please help me my people. I don't know if I have to provide evidence for lump sum deposit into the MFB account or not. I'd prefer to use my account but don't know if it would fly.

Thank you for your response.

I my previously approved visa, my company sponsored 80% of my trip, that's why I want to use the same method. I that application I stated my company, a sole proprietorship company, always avail me allowances like travel allowance, housing allowance etc. That's why i calculated the 20% which needs to be in my account and wife's.

My wife despite working elsewhere, gets monthly allowance from my company as her contributions to the suscess of the company.

Lastly, the company is sponsoring as a form of reward system to boost productivity.

Hi everyone,

Please can I use my account for POF? I'm going alone for a research masters and hubby and kids will join later. Also, can I use a Microfinance bank for POF?

Thanks for your response Cashmadam.

I made a few calls while I was waiting for advice here and I got to learn that relatives can no longer be a sponsor. This was the case for me many years ago. I am aware that things keep changing.

Can you clarify or who can be a sponsor outside your parents?

Please help me vet this my revised budget for a family of 4 for 14 days. Wife has more than double of the 20% in her savings. Company closing bal is also more than double of the 80% cost of trip.

2. Accommodation = £0
3. Feeding = £150
4. Transport = £50

Total = £750 ~ N1,168,500

20% of N2,500,000 = N500,000 Mother
20% of N5,767,000 = N1,153,400 Father
80% of N8,267,000 = N6,613,600 My Coy

Total trip cost to family & business = N8,267,000

Is this budget reasonable?

Nnekkyneks:
@cash madam thank you so much for all ur advice it has got me thinking of alternatives. It will b difficult for us to bring in any lump sum without it looking like padding. So I was thinking of including my mutual funds statement, from the app I can generate a letter stating my balance and that the amount can be made available on request and this balance will meet up with the total balance we need to accommodate the required balance. I can send u the letter in ur email if u don't mind( won't like to post that here) pls kindly advise.
Thank you

Paying of Skilled Workers Visa and IHS fees from Nigeria

Hi guys, I currently need to pay for my skilled workers visa and IHS fees. I plan loading usd on a prepaid dollar card . I'm worried the cards may not work.

Question: Has anyone paid their visa fees recently from Nigeria? How did you go about it. What banks card did you use or what prepaid wallet etc.

Hello everyone,

I have a question and I apologize in advance if it has already been answered in the past pages.

A student who wants to study in the UK has a sponsor (an uncle) who will provide their bank statement and a letter to support the visa application. Does this student need to submit her own bank statement as well?

Her account is currently not funded. And I want to confirm if her account (bank statement) is required in addition to the sponsor's bank statement.

Thank you!

Your Uncle cannot sponsor you. Only your sponsor and / or parents.

Nnekkyneks:
Thank you for your swift response am grateful 🙏
The 4k is not for me alone, I will reduce it to 3k, some one did a break down to make it look realistic because accommodation for 5(my son is not part of the application but he will b going woth us) people will require at least 2 bedrooms.
I will reduce shopping money.
On the savings I will also reduce the amount I intend to state as part sponsor. Beefing up the account with another inflow other than my income will seem like padding.
It's not all my savings but I don't want to hv to present any other account or investment for further scrutiny. Going thru d thread it feels like more information u provide for questions.
I hv had to maintain only my salary as inflow and my expenses as outflow to avoid unnecessary explanations.
So from ur advise it's best the cost of the trip to me is less than amount in the account leaving me with some savings.
The bulk of the funds will b provided my my husband as sponsor.
Pls does this make more sense?
Thank you


quote author=Cashmadam post=129371932]

Madam, this will not work. You are not expected to spend all your savings on vacation. It simply means you really cannot afford to travel. What will you have as savings after the vacation? It doesn't make economic sense.... Beef up your savings over the next few months and then let's look at the figures again. Your budget of 4k is high.

Nnekkyneks:
Ok thank you so much am grateful
Is the sponsors account also scrutinized?
And will there be need to provide explanation for the inflows. Cos there r so many things to consider
1) opening balance ( Should not b huge)
2) inflows and outflows
3) Closing balance ( Should b signicantly more than the cost of the trip to u)
4) No padding of account ( no huge inflows)
My question:
Will this same conditions apply to a sponsor who is not traveling with us?

Nnekkyneks:
My husband who is the sponsor is not traveling with us even though he has a 2 years Visa. So he is just submitting his bank statement as sponsor, however I will ask him to put in more than the amount he is stating as cost for sponsporing.
I have revised the budget. Pls is this OK
From the 3.7m the cost to me is 1m( part of my saving)
My husband will provide the balance with is savings account.

Good evening Guru's in the house, thank you all for all the help and advise. I have been reading asking and learning for 4 months now and this is what I have come up with thus far. Pls kindly advise if it's ok 2 complete my application.
History: I applied in 2022 for me and 3 of my kids for vacation, the last time I visited UK was 2011 with my 1st daughter. We were denied because of my bank statement having alot of unexplainable inflows and outflows( wish I had visited here then) I have attached the refusal letter. My understanding from the letter is for me to clean up the account which I have now done, my budget was also a mess. But I have been advised on a better and realistic budget.
Pls help me look thru and advise a sister:
A draft cover letter
I have included my salary bank statement of N3.7m. I earn N1.3m a month, spend 550k and save 750k monthly. I initially withdraw my savings out of this account but for the purpose of saving for this trip I have saved N3.7 as my personal sponsor for my trip. I am also submitting my husband savings account he will be sponsporing with N10.3m

For my husband 's savings account too is it OK to have the exact amount he is sponsoring us with as his balance.

You cannot save N14M and spend N14M on a vacation. It does not make economic sense and will be the basis of another denial if you are not careful. First, you need to reduce your budget of 4K and then save more over the next few months. Your personal savings should be in the region of 10M.

I want to make sure I’m understanding you correctly. Your budget for the trip is 14m. Your husband has 10.3m in his account, and you have about 3.7m. That makes a total of 14m in both your accounts. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s what I got from your write-up.

If the above is the case, I would advise you to abort mission completely. Your closing balance cannot be the exact amount you intend to spend on your trip. What money will you spend when you come back? Why is it so important for you to spend both you and your husband’s entire life savings on a vacation to the UK? Note that these are questions the ECO will ask, so don’t think I’m picking on you.

A general rule of thumb is to have at least double your trip budget as your closing balance. While nothing is impossible, I believe it would be extremely hard for your visa to be approved with your current realities.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out again regarding a matter concerning my mother-in-law's visit. Last February, we successfully secured a six-month visa for her to come and assist us with the kids. She arrived in March and returned to Nigeria in July, meaning she stayed with us for a total of four months.

Now, we're looking into bringing her back again, this time on a two-year visa. We understand the limitation of each visit being no more than 180 days. My wife will be the sole sponsor of this trip, and similar to last year, we've already saved £5000. She'll be staying in our flat during her visit, and all she requires are tickets and food.

I would also appreciate any information regarding potential updates or changes in the UK visa application process since last year. Additionally, is it possible to retrieve the previous application we submitted? I seem to have misplaced the downloaded file from my PC.

Thank you for your assistance.
