Someone advised to add additional £25 to the amount to be debited. Eg if your fees is £2000, input £2025, else first bank would pay only £1975. Several people corroborated this
Very true. I didn't know when I paid and the fee was deducted from my deposit.

Sorry about the refusal.

The reason for the refusal is clearly stated. If you can fix the uncertainties in the letter, there is likelihood that will get the visa.
Also, if you'd like to apply for a student visa, this refusal would not affect anything so far your new application atleast 6 months away the refusal date bear in mind also that you will need the whole UK visa processing to be completed before the resumption of the academic session at the school you intend to attend.

All the best!
Thanks. Well the refusal came in March. And I will be turning in a student visa application by June/July....less than 6 months from refusal date. Paid half of my tuition in UK.

Uncountable people, depending where you japa go Abobie.
Abegi no mind them. My roomie in uni left Naija in 2014. I continued in acada line, suffered a few months of unemployment, status changed to underemployment (40K with a Masters) and later gainfully employed and doing well in the corporate world. My roomie who japa then now has 4 kids (citizens), doing well financially, took his parents on countless trips abroad, has BUILT houses and has a fine career after going through the pains of studying a good course overseas.

Me: doing well too by the grace of God. But the difference is still clear like 7up. Inflation and rising cost of things no gree me tangible savings, even with an averagely good salary . I cannot afford to give 1million naira gift now or buy my parents a car. Even to buy a car for myself na to save up more than a year or loan, building one bungalow with serious calculation ... the reality of many working class Nigerians who cannot steal or does not have access to stealing from the national pot.

Is there suffering abroad....? sure! But after suffering and taking the pains to advance yourself educationally, one will definitely be better off. Education can be scam here, but out there in Europe and North America, once you can get educated and keep pushing, things will be better off. Some PhDs here in Nigeria teach JAMB students while others are grossly underpaid in private unis....

OP, travel, but have a plan and target. If I ever travel in this my mid life, it is either to lecture (education - do a PhD), re-skill into tech (education) or get my wife re-skilled into health care (education). It is all EDUCATION FIRST, jollification later. Even the three steps can be followed through.

The answer is Yes and No, depending on the reason(s) why you were refused
Attached is my letter of refusal.
I was denied due to unproven/unstated source of funds. I didn't lie in the application. 2 accounts were submitted. My salary account where I earn 405k after tax and pension and my savings account where I got payment from other side businesses and rents on property.

@justwise and other seniors.

I just got denied a UK visiting visa which my organisation sponsored. However, I am working on a Student Visa. Will the denial have any implication on the student visa application, moreso, since the student visa application might be coming three months after?

Views will be highly appreciated.

It depends on the course, the reputation and the job market for that course you're studying and the place you're going to studying. For example some cities are way more expensive to live than the other.
The average to study isn't that figure you're cooking up.
I will prefer to study in Canada than UK because UK na over hype nonsense.
7milllion naira to 8 million should be OK for post graduate in UK but depending on the university you are going to study and the city.
Cooking uphuh

I am trying to work out Canada self ... Apply for a master your self . The admission fee is less than 100k once that's out u pay a fee of about 4m. Travel ticket should be 400k ...tho I have 5m in budget for Canada but I know say small thing fit enter ..I prefer Canada so, if I wants to stay back let it be I stayed back in one of the best country in the world ...


For UK same process. U apply for admission less than 50k for admission. Once u gain admission. U pay fees less than 2m or 2m depending on the course and university. After that u use your admission letter apply for student visa that's express u will get it ..then travel ticket should be 300-400k ....other small money fit enter ..in student visa for masters u hv the opportunity to work and school..for Canada they give u post graduate opportunity to stay back and work and u can still apply for PR and get it easily.
Great... But admission is TOTALLY free in UK. No application fees, unlike USA. Even for USA, you can get application waiver in some schools


Once you have your documents: passport, o'level, Bsc (for masters), transcript (for masters) and Statement of Purpose, you will get admission. The Koko is the tuition deposit and balance, living expenses, Ihs and visa fee. Once all those once are ready, flight issue na small thing...straight to Mama Charlie's land.

Lies, stop telling lies.
Tuition fees for university of British Columbia and other top universities in Canada more ranked than UK universities won't cost that much for tuition fees especially in STEM courses for post graduate.
How much then did my course mate paid for tuition fees in university of leeds in the UK if it cost that much.
Some of you talk any how.
I laugh in Spanish on this your UK analysis...University of Leeds costs between 17-24k pounds for Masters as an International student. Check this out https://courses.leeds.ac.uk/g636/communication-and-media-ma
That's not a STEM course. So most likely, STEM courses will cost more.
You can check Google for UK schools and see for yourself.

Only a few schools, maybe under 5 are cheap in the UK for masters, costing less than 11k pounds. And even in those schools, not all courses are that cheaps.

To go UK now, you need at least 5-6 million, (say you have your PoF sorted). The schools are changing and the payment in installment is not like before. Most schools now require 50% of tuition to be paid before you enrol. They are getting stricter because people only pay deposit and come up with stories when they get to UK.

Long story short, japa na money issue.

Depends on where you do it and how you are processing it (DIY or Agents). If you use a good agent and applied for the new epassport, you can get it in 4-6 weeks.

Thanks for prompt response

Maybe our issue wasn't similar
Mine was I carried a middle name on my NIN and not on my old passport

I was told I have 2 options
1. Modify NIN to be without middlename
2. Goto Headquarter to add middlename to my passport

My thought exactly was, why couldn't they just add a middlename for me here at Alausa

But you are saying you were able to do name modification at Ibadan, I'm surprised

What was it like please ?
My wife changed her from her maiden name on her old passport to her married name in the renewed one, and that was without any hassle as the name she wanted to change to was the same name on her NIN (she first modified her NIN and presented the new slip).

Please this is incorrect, I am entering Bournemouth for 2021 Jan. You have to pay the 50% tuition before enrollment on the 31st, that is before you start school. The school is mean and strict.
I may not accept their offer then, although I got £3500 discount/scholarship. RGU alternative dey.
