Hello,
Please i want to apply for Uk visa for visit as a business man, what are the things needed?

Guy I know we all are trying to help but plz try and look at thier website its all there and if you dont understand anything you can always come back and ask.

embassyman:
Hello Justwise and other helpful nairalanders,

I was refused a visiting visa to UK last year june due to photocopied document that i submitted,, cos the company i was working with then gave me photocopies of thier documents, now i dont even work with the company again , i have been doing buying and selling since last year october, i have a savings account worth like 1 million, but each time i have that money in my account, i send it to where i buy goods , so the money comes in and out on daily bases, so u cant even know if my personal money is worth 1 million cos it comes in and almost immediately i use it to buy more goods, i have more than 35 people paying for goods in my account and i also have about 6 people i do transfer money to , in order to buy goods . my account reflect very customers name who buys from me daily and money doesnt stay long like that as i always have need to pay for goods so that when customers come, they can buy. Can such account be used, and does it mean thats i have to leave some balance in the acccount prior to application? Money thats hits my account on monthly bases is more than 15 million, Are u sure that without a company name i can apply and be granted visa? cos personal tax that i paid for, only reflect my name. then please tell me what else that i may need to do. thanks

Just bear this in mind when you make an aplication of such nature you have to prove beyound reasonable doubt that you are returning, you got to show proof of income, ie Pay slips,strong ties with Nigeria ie kids, marriage ,properties etc,.my question to you is,**if your course is relevant to your work why is the company not at least giving you a leave letter that says study leave instead of just leave**?This is a Logical question, they might ask you same there.You need to demonstrate to the ECO that you have basic accomodation here in teh Uk,(Do U have that reserved yet?)Spending Money? and how close is where you plan to stay close to where the course is and this course cant it be done in Nigeria?this are things you should sort out b4 your application.

tEsLim:
Well the birth certs are definitely originals. And didn't get them registered out of negligence. She is only saying it is a possibility it is not ascertained. Please be logical with your analysis. I typed it out to avoid such mistakes directly the way it is. And when they ban they dont tell you; you have right of appeal. Can someone give a constructive contribution? Your opinion is heard thanks

you are right about the birth cert, however I suggest you write a letter detailing the reasons why you left it late to registered your kids,Im sure they would accept that.Try and get evidence of your work, any Docs that says you do what you claim to do, how could you leave that out in the first place, U know you have to proove your income.oh cos you work for yourself, you should produce evidence of you being self employed ie Cert of incoporation and Biz bank account etc
hope this helps.

aha na wah, See men, but why are teh ladies so shy, be bold jare

and your comment about asking sum1 to leave Lagos to Ondo is a joke ericko, how could say ondo , its a complete mismatch Manchester is well developed, Manchester is creating jobs as it stands in this economy, you need to look up the city with the highest unemployement rate. London has a documented population of 8Mil bro what you even on about dnt say Lagos to Ondo atall u aint getting no jobs in Ondo ti start with

Chi Omo to bad ohh, you wait, Ondo guys r comming 4 you
well to B honest, I have livedout manchester B4, not my dream place in the western world, but come to think about it according to the stats you just gave,howmany people do live in manchester? for every firm that is located in Manchester they must have an office i n London true or false?
and as for your friend submitting Cv for customer serice role,what xperience has she got 2wards these role? her Cv must have been un tailored for them role hence she aint been called, trust me I know what Im talking about,Looking for a JOB is harder than the Job itself, it involves huge ammount of skillz hence sometimes people pay others to do thier CV for them,Let me share something with you, I gotup to 25CVs, tailored for difrent things and Im registered to over 30 agencies,every month i get at least 5 of them telling me there is a role if Im intrested etc.The watch word is to place oneself on the avenue of luck.

dalebutt1:
I Lived in Manchester and surrounding towns for 8 years, I lived in Leeds for 2 years, I also lived in London for 6 months all in all I wouldnt try living in London for whatever price it is, I dont know why almost every Nigerian wana settle in London, I have advised British born friends to try life outside London, they moved in with me for a while and i tell you they were grateful they made the move. I lived in a newly completed 2 bed appartment for just 500GBP a month in manchester and samething in Leeds, and I know this for a fact you would pay that amount for some very old house in London in a single room sharing all utilities with people. I love my privacy, space and peace and I hate knowing sometimes that I have to go to London to ever do anything. I hate London it Sucks modernised Idumota it is

Its like telling someone to quit Lagos to live in Ondo state cos the houses are cheaper and newer,Not everyone share that view of not liking the hustle and bustle of a busy city, by the way, where I live is a block of modern flat zone 2, rent a bit on the high side but so are the wages.

Aqva:
If only u know boy. aqva can turn your life around with one cheque.
@op
Sorry to derail your thread. this UK smallie is learning to throw cheap shots. over and out.

guy grow up, use number six, its for thinking.Keep that 2much money mentality, U might be rich wiv paper money but poor in ur brains.stick to the topic n dont brag bout what you own or dont own. and calling me smally, U ddnt even know me, I used them words when I was 13yo

Aqva:
At first i thought he was smart. then i realized he was a doofus. Now he is even a pauper. Ever heard of broadband? Not everybody is like u who uses an mtn line to browse. i'm done with this dummy.

lol what bloody broadband? MTN broadband lol Bross look at my location, we dont have MTN here I started using Broadband B4 you ever set ur eyes o n a Laptop.

Aqva:
Stop hounding people with will u marry an SS question. If somebody has said he/she will, then accept that. recognize the fact that some people are deep and not shallow. I hold no grudge against that lady who said she can't even marry an AS. Why then should it be a bother if someone says they can marry an SS.

As for the girl i nearly married who has SS, she is the best thing that ever happened in my life. Too bad she refused to get married. I understand her fears. she was afraid that she will have complications if she ever gets pregnant etc. wherever u are babe, i still love u.

You seem to realise we could read your past post abi?stay there dey rake, no worry your recharge go soon finish aproko

sauer:
i'd marry a SS, if i were or were nt SS myself. It makes no difference. Am nt SS tho'. But were i, i dnt think i'd beg for any1's luv. I'd rather stay single with a string of women, or perhaps get into an arrangement a la angela merkel.
I'm strongly opinionated about treating others fairly when it falls on ma lap 2 do so. Moreover, i'l always go wit whoever has wat i want, irrespective of their natural attributes.

Ok so from tis long statement your answer is YES eh?

blank:
Can't marry SS. Can't even marry AS. Want my kids to be AA so they don't av 2 worry about genotype when they want 2 marry.

Chi, see as you blankinly harsh lol you just throw away Emotion sharp sharp,I hail

tEsLim:
It depends I have to be on the phone a lot so depends on your business

I have supplements of nonoh & skype usually put around $10 on each a month to cut.

Then in Naija my glo line takes around 5k to 8k while my zain getrs 15k monthly, and now they say i should ping too so i payed 3k for mtn but will discontinue that.

And yup visafone internet i pay 13.5k monthly can't do without that one.

===================================

But when abroad just use your nonoh and skype to call naija its cuts your cost. and do more sms

hey whats nonoh? lol and skype,howmuch does that cost you to call mobiles in 9ja? never gave that a thought you kno.

sauer:
I am no surprised this is coming up for discussion. But i certainly can marry a SS

Fair anough, but if you was SS could you marry an SS out of love?

Aqva:
Well i had to edit my post cos i got carried away,. sorry for the outburst. Let me tell u my friend. Some people actually are attracted to people who have issues with their health. It is nt out of pity, rather a need to show somebody extraordinary love. I happen to be a person who loves to love with my whole heart.
@op
i nearly married a very beautiful girl who was ss but she wouldnt let me. In retrospect i dont blame her though.

I know when you nearly married an SS person back in 2009,I saw the post here remember? now thisis what someone posted to you then

Be wise,
& get understanding,
Control your emotion,
Asess yourself, you know what u want & what u can cope with,
Control your mind and be realistic in your decision,
With this I know u will be a happy man at last.

Thats someone who is indirectly telling you to keep your Emotional Mind and use your rational mind without be prejudiced or pissing you off, but me I dont pretend just say it out how it is.

well mine is contract so its £25/month with 3 network.

Aqva:
Fukc your views. we aren't all as shallow my friend. Maybe u are a logical man who analyzes and calculates before dating. Some of us do not. Love is spontaneous, its not about fukcing rationality and logic.

Your healthy model looking wife might become a defaced monster tomorrow through accident. it's guys like u that abandon people when the chips are down. i hate fair weather people like u. u guys should be annihilated from planet earth.

I dont blame you but MTN
youare realy Emotional about this right? I can understand that you are married to a challenged person,dont 4get matters of the Heart are Emotional so I will give you the benefit of the doubt for you eash statements and calling me shallow minded, the example you gave where that if you was married and the person met with an acccident I would run away why would that happen,And you rightly said again in you post above that the person my be healthy B4 marriage now thats where my much Rational mind defeats your Emotional one.I have seen potential situation, stepped back physically and Emotionally ,made a decissiion and said no, this is gonna cost me my heart, so I say NO,does that make me a bad person?Just for once think carefuly B4 you show your ignorance in public.

Aqva:
This is disrespectful. what is bad in marrying a physically challenged person? my fiancee has issues with her legs and i love her more than any normal woman.

The problem with most of you is arrogance. Some have vegetables as parents yet they still love them. any healthy person can become sick with cancer, stroke or even deformation through accident.

This is what I meant by Nigerians who dont know when to switch off the Emotion when it comes to matters like this.You are allowing you Emotion to take over you hence you came up with those statement above,try your rational mind for a bit. So cos you loved someone who is physically challenge we loads should abi?there must be a quality in her that made you look beyond the disabilyt hence you married her but other would not see pass it, it dont mean they are ignorant one bit,try and be a lil bit psychological in ur rguments it helps in thinking out of the Box
.

Serendipity:
I dont think so. By deductions
the OP must be male.

Brovo, you are spot on, most Nigerians dont know when they are being Emotional or rational in arguments like this any small thing PRAY HARD, do you need prayers to know what you want when you are SS?The OP should ask themselves this question, would they marry someone who is physically challenged,then there goes the answer.

Stronger99:
^^
Very commendable. It seems men are more willing to marry people with SS and women are less willing. At least that seems to be what i deduce from all the replies so far.
Well, i'm really happy to see all these positive attitude. U people have made my day.

In reality, no one could realy tell you or admit to you thier real feelings unless they are in same boat with you
You know what you want  and have to do so stick to that.AA is the way 4ward for you  and we all know there is nothing less.When you do meet someone I sugest  once the relationship is getting to the I love you stage  you got to talk bout your G type.Im AA, that I found out long ago when I was in Uni in Nigeria still cos my then G/friend was AS  and she had known this long B4 I met her.Tbh I wont be confortable marrying an SS cos thats me knowingly adding already known problems  to our natural lives even if it could be managed.Now  dont judge me or anyone with these views on here cos same could be asked of you if you could marry a physicaly challenged person ie a BLIND or an Amputee.But there you go,  life is choice driven.

chika98:
Did you even READ and understand what I was on about before you jumped into conclusions? Well of course you have to think big BUT in this economy where the jobs aren't readily available for graduates; I'm talking about those who want to get something doing until they find their dream job. READ next time and understand before going off and talking about irrelevant things.


See you situation is EXACTLY what I'm on about. Getting something on the side whilst one is looking for a decent job. I hear that often times they don't even wanna give you care job because they say you're over qualified with a Masters. I just know a few folks that are going through it right now so my heart goes out to them. It is actually quite sad.

I just realised you live in the US,
well over here in the UK,its totally diffrent,what you call menial JOB for Mr A would be and might B the main Job for Mr B,every Job has its own entry point pro or not.Now talking about getting something to do on the side why Job hunting how do you mean, here is you working or you ain't,U got to pay the bills.I don't know how it goes down in the US but over here unless you are a pro you got to start from the dust cos they your recruiter would ask for work experience plus reference.Lets say for example I'm a petroleum Engineer and I wanna work in one of them wells in Aberdeen,i wanna be a driller,where do you think i would start with all my degree? Roasterbout of cos, now to theoutside eye and those on top that's a menial Job.On the laast note, Job hunting is a skill and a Job in its own right hence teh agencies are ripping in.lastly let me share this with you,I o nce went to an Agency cos i wanted to change Job in 2005,I was working for teh NHS at that point doing medical staffing which was part of HR,I saw a good position for HR officer which I could suit in %100, but the HR consultant told me cos I aint got HR experience in that field i could not qualiffy but my CV looks tastefully good but if it was a Hospital or another NHS body these vacancy was then yeh,I picked up a valued idea from what she told me since then.

chika98:
I guess I see what you mean. I've got some friends in the UK finding it hard to get something even if it's a cleaning job or something. It is different here where I live. Getting a menial job isn't hard to come by. Some Nigerian families here a living comfortably working in group homes and doing care work. As long as you wanna work; they'll give it to you. They don't care if you've got a college degree or not. I live in the US in case you were wondering

well over here in the Uk, the first barrier migrant face is that of papers, if you clear that hudle then it boils down to xpirience.

chika98:
Also I hear that getting a menial job is hard over there if you've got a masters because you're considered to be over qualified for it. Doesn't make much sense to me because if you're willing to work then you should be able to get it.

why would one limit themself to them kind of Jobs? the watch word is THINK BIG

chipmunkey:
Germans are not Racists, Infact, the nicest girls i've met in my life are Germans.

So meeting girls =good life, better standard ofliving and good JOB/Job avalibility,?? NA WAH

Calradised:
yes o, i would agree dat it is a tough place to live, because of d cost of living, but i dont think it is d worst place in europe, there are some much less developed countries and d standard of life is much lower

living and working in london is not that bad, after all we have what we call Inner London weighting,ie we earn more than people who dont live and work in london in other part of the country

kaykaybaba:
@erico2k2, what industry do you work in? (sorry, not my intent to derail the thread)

worked with a Local AAuthority until this week now one of teh leading train companies begining with V.

Redman44:
I don't believe the UK is the worst place to live in Europe. If this assertion is true, how come many people from other EU and EAA Countries always troop into Britain looking for work? Some people just talk without examining the issues on ground. The UK is one of the most tolerant countries in Europe. Just go to France as a black person and see the blatant racism you will face as soon as you step into the streets of Paris, Marseilles or Lyon. It is difficult to get a job as a Black person on France than in Britain. Nationals from other EU Countries swagger into the UK and help themselves to Benefits and other allowances. However, it is hard for Britons to collect benefits in Spain, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland, Estonia, Latvia etc.  Calling the UK a shithole is very wrong. Britain has a very efficient Transport System and the Underground in London is amazing with new structures being added on a weekly basis. There are many beautiful places in the UK. One thing I like about the country is that old structures and monuments are well taken care of.  Everyday, Westminster in Central London is filled with Tourists who keep taking pictures of the Houses of Parliament, River Thames, Buckingham Palace etc.

You will face cruel racism if you go and live in places like Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Latvia etc. I have observed that Eastern Europeans are more racist than the native Brits in the UK. Another thing is that the East Europeans believe Africans and Asians should be below them in the pecking order when it comes to getting jobs. It does not matter if their English is terrible. It is more about skin colour. Most times, people think I am British because of my diction and the tone of my voice. I speak naturally like someone who grew up in the UK but the truth is that I am 100% Nigerian. Go to France without being able to speak French and see if you will not be ignored by the French People. In England, even if you don't speak English, It is easy to access many services. I have been to places like Bristol, Brighton, Watford, Inner Essex ( South Ockendon, Tilbury, Aveley, Purfleet, Basildon etc ), Kent ( Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone etc ) and I must confess these places are beautiful and well organized. You won't know much about a place until you've lived there. London is expensive because it is the Capital City. It is cheaper to live in places like Coventry, Bristol, Manchester etc. It is all about how we organize ourselves with our finances. Germany is another country that I like and the Germans are becoming more open to living alongside other cultures.  The British Pound is still very strong and Britain made a wise decision in not joining the Euro. I don't agree that Britain is the worst place to live in Europe. Cheers.

well written, as far as Im concern in terms of migrant, the Uk remain the most tolorable place to live,these assesment was based on the Uk EU people's standard of living, they can afford to live with just no savings, we cant, we nned xtra to arrange ourselves and family, somone made mention of German,just check it, howmany Africans are healthcare workers or police over there.and for the guy looking ofr a Job I do agree with the poster who said there is Jobs everywhere, try http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk/homepage.aspx?sessionid=26d7f98d-3aab-443a-a5fa-48e21b5e3ba0&pid=3
see howmany jobs are going out there, just sort out your Cv,try and start from somewhere, I have lived here long anough and I never been out of Job, 2 B honest,I just resumed a new Job monday just past and still being asked to come for interview nxt monday n another upper monday, so my guy mix with the right crowd,shine your eye well well.

Plus have you got any sort of work xpirience? ie worked b4 in the UK?

southwark:
^^^^^

I beg,wetin concern me with my qualification,i don bone qualification tey tey. I ve been looking for any job as far back as 6mths ago but unable to find one.

I searched for good jobs prior to last 6mths but couldn't find one and i decided to look for any,

have you tried being a civil enforcememnt oficer?

ladies of the west hustle first b4 family life and it becomes a problem to go back home most of the times, and if they do its back to thier bf or ex

everyone is quick to jump at the throat of the managers of PHCN  and FG,while most posters here cant even comprehend simple grammar and make sense from it,most of us here failed to realize that  the shut down is as a result of NGC doing routine maintenance,something we lack those years hence we have decaying infrastructures

llbhuds:
this is not a new thing anymore,  i did my youth service then at PHCN power station in sapele (ogorode). there were 10 steam powered turbines that were functional when this power station was commissioned then in the 70s by obasanjo. as at 2006 when i did my NYSC, it was only 3 out of the 10 that is still functioning and 1 of these 3 was about to break down due to lack of maintenance. and i was told by the coppers that were still der after my service that the fed. govt had started construction for another 10 turbines to be powered by gas.
in delta state alone, there are 2 power stations and as at 2006 these 2cities (ughelli & sapele) still dont get 24hrs constant electricity supply so shutting these stations down will be of no impact to these cities

they have finished  and completed the new  power plant as part of the NIPP  and also there is now a step down in the town, it has improved loads from b4

Fiver:
I know really tough, what about a letter or letters from a company saying they agree to employe the person for the duration of the NYSC, as in they will like to have the person serve with them for nysc. the student will be graduating by end of novemeber but their call up will be around that march april time, so just 3weeks holiday in between= as graduation gift


na wa self how person fit invite girlfriend come uk o

to be honest,I dont think that would hold water,best way to invite your girl if if she working, have wage slips,av leave from work plus letter of employment and bank stat

This is somewhat true of a new and developing society, according to beaf he's dead right, with every development comes a new problem, B4 criminals dont have mobile phones to demmand randsum in 9ja now they do,they can hack into one's bank account to determine who to kidnap etc, so listening or collecting phone data is nothing new and not a big offence,its done globally especialy if it support the good cours of national security.
