Lateralmaths:
I have a business visa interview next week at the
German Consulate in Lagos.
Part of the requirement is three months statement of
account and pay slips for three months.
I'm going for a sponsored academic conference and
the amount for the conference was paid in February
that is six months ago. So I plan to go with six
months statement of account and six months pay
slips.
Hope this is in order?

Hello @askari01 @justwise and other gurus,

Please I would like to know if a bank statement has to show 6 months salary payment or it should only be 6 months transaction history?

Reason is because the small company I'm working once paid my salary via cash deposit and right after that it had been paid via company bank transfer and I don't want the cash deposit to reflect when I'm printing out my bank statement when it's time to apply for a UK visa

Please advise and God bless you all

I have been having sleepless nights over the clashes in my applications. I submitted my visa aplication since July 1st and no update since last one i got about 2 weeks ago that it has gotten to decision level. The issue is that the whole of my have US visa interview next. Is it possible to attend US visa interview without my passport. Will copy of my datapage and previous visa pages be tenable?

Nobleman247:
Greetings to everybody. I have been reading through this thread for some time now and i have gathered a lot very useful info. Thanks to you guys.

Later this month I intend to apply for uk visit visa to go visit my sister who is a British citizen for only 10days during the month of september. My Sis will be providing accomodation and feeding and she will be sending invitation letter and all the necessary documents, but i will be paying for my flight (found some cheap lagos-london return ticket starting from N221040-N238000 upwards for the month of september)

MY PROFILE:
I have been working as a technician for a certain company (5years plus now) and I am on a monthly salary of 84k (paid in two parts 34k and 50k) after tax and pension funds deduction. Since april my company has been removing loan deduction of 15k from my salary. So for april, may and june i was paid only 69k /month (paid in two parts 24k and 45k).

Some months back I registered as a mobile money agent at one of the mobile money companies in Nigeria and I make about 35k/month (I keep reciepts issued to customers) but i dont pay myself via my savings account. At the end of the month I just collect cash from the sales of the day.

I am single and having no dependants. I spend a maximum of 20k/month on living cost. I live in a family property (with utility bill carrying my father's name)

**Some times I do freelance technicial works and I get paid for my service.
Every month i do mechanical servicing for a certain man who pays 4k into my account monthly (usually via bank transfer except for last month which was via cash deposit) . someone paid 36k into my account last month (june) and the month before last month (may) the same person paid 16k into my savings/salary account and both payments where made via bank transfer**

I have a closing balance of 600k in my savings/salary account. I intend to travel by september for only 10days.

I intend to apply with the following documents (Note I have no travel hystory) :

1. my six month bank statement (no large money lodgment except for some small bank transfers)

2. Introduction letter from my employer + copy of company certificate. (I dont think the company certificats is neccessary but when i requested for the letter of intro, I was told i would be given a copy of the company paper to go with my application, that thats how the company has been doing it for staffs who requests for introduction letter to travel)

3. Offer of Appointment letter + confirmation of appointment letter + 2 salary review letters

4. My Lagos state electronic tax clearence certificate card issued on november 2014

5. All neccessary documents from my sister who is inviting me (she knows the documents to send, she has invited our Mum twice and Mumcy was granted on both occasions)

My questions are:
1. regarding the other payments made to my savings account by individuals via bank transfers, do i need to explain them in my cover letter?

2. For the question "how much is available to you for the trip?" I intend to say 700gbp. Is it ok to say 700gbp considering that i will only be paying for my flight ticket and from my search, during september one can find return ticket to london for N221040 (using gbp to naira rate of today 1gbp =368.16 ie. N221040 = 600.39gbp)

3. To all the gurus in the house, please, egarding my profile, monthly salary, bank statement and documentation, do U think my application will fly? Or do you have any advice for me to note

Also I would like to ask, If I wanted to include a virgin land papers (ie land purchase reciept) can I include it without C of O since its a virgin land and no C of O yet.

Sorry for the long write up. Thanks you.

amalab30:
Hello and good morning lovely people. I currently have 2 passports. One expired and one valid. The signature I used on the first is different from the 2nd, they are both Virgin passports.

Please does this pose any risk to my chances of getting granted VISA as I am married and have a beautiful daughter and we are all travelling for vacation 'when' grated VISA August (that's our interview month) here in Abuja.

I expect a reply soon.

Thank you lovely people.

Special thanks to @Lady G.

Looking forward to ur reply

BizErikah:
So that's how nobody responded to my question.
Well.
Let me hope on God

seyewest:
@banaby As interesting as your story is.. You got a lot of stuff wrong and I'm disappointed because you've gone through the thread meticulously... You should know that you're not ready for the U.S visa as at the time you applied not just for travel history alone and this is the number one cause of denial... You may have the funds and time to travel to the U.S but ties wise you may not be ready... About the married people and single people I have a different opinion which is.. If you're married it's a tie and if you have child(ren) that's another tie... As a single person it's very very easy for you to travel to the U.S and not return again nothing will happen meanwhile I know some married men and women do it but it's a bit complicated for a married man or woman to abscond to U.S and abandon his family just because he can send them money from U.S.. I hope applicant will take time out and weigh each tie critically before applying for U.S visa.. You may not be ready in January and be over ready by June.

Dammy112:
I need a little clarification.what advantage do you get if one submits application in Ikeja and not VI since one needs to pay extra 82$.I would like to know if there is any advantage with submitting in Ikeja Vs Abuja or VI.

Can someone confirm how much they got charged in naira when they paid visa fee?

Thanks.

abeylevels:


I have another question: I will be submitting my visa application next month. However, I had a credit deposit of xyz last month being a transfer from my company to my account. This amount is about twice my monthly salary & its actually my leave allowance.
The credit is not reflecting in my payslip since its an allowance but its stated in some part of the letter from my employer that am entitled to xyz amount as leave allowance per anum.
I also have an internal memo from the HR department informing me about the leave.
I am going on a business visit & my company is sponsoring me but based on comments from nairaland, I am concerned about this credit payment.
Will the ECO still require explanation despite my bank statement showing that the fund was transferred from my company to me?

If I still have to provide evidence of this deposit, It is Ok to say I actually needed the money for a specific purpose? Though am currently making some payments for personal use ; hence my final account balance would have shown various purpose the money was spent upon
or do I use the internal memo from the HR department as paper evidence?
I really need to have a strong application cuz of my past refusals from UK, US & Schengen. please help

worry359:
If it's too much
Then stay at home!
You do not have to travel so no point complaining about the cost.

Hello @FrontPageLawyer, @Justwise & Nairaland family;
You have been very helpful on this forum. May God Bless you all

I have some questions in filling the Uk online application form at (https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/) for my trip on a Business visa, in which my company is sponsoring me.

1)There is a place they ask if I have any family in UK?
My uncle's wife(who i can call my Aunt) is based in UK with her 2 kids. The husband is a Professor lecturing in Nigeria. He only visit his family on vacation.

Question i-Can I just state my Aunt as the family I have or I must also include her kids?

Question ii-Also my blood sister & her husband are based in UK. Should I just indicate my sister's name alone or I have to include her husband?


2)There is a part that also ask what is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP?
Since am not paying, I will answer N/A as advised by @FrontPageLawyer
However the next question asks for the ....Total money you have for this Trip?
My company has budget a max of 8,000USD for my expenses which is more than enough looking at my expenses of about 3,000GBP.
I also have over 1m in my personal account. I have over 1m in a co-operative savings with my company welfare unit.
I have 800k naira in a Mutual Fund. I have stocks worth over 2m.
Please based on the above, how should i answer the question ...what is the total money you have for the trip?.... since am being sponsored but I still have my own money which am not spending for the trip?

3)There is another question that ask..Do you have other income and How much you receive monthly from this?
While I have investments in Land, stock & Mutual Fund, the only income I receive now is Dividend from stocks which doesnt come monthly and I cant predict the amount.
How do I answer this part since for example i can receive X naira from company A in April last year , Y naira from company B in June last year.
But this year company A pays lower that X naira based on performance while company B pays more than Y naira.
Though these credits are not so huge. They vary with amounts like 35,000 naira, 800naira, 20,000naira etc

Please Nairalanders family, @FrontPageLawyer, @Justwise help as I dont want to fill N/A when i know they will see that there are some credits into my bank statement apart from my monthly salary.



Please help

I got 6months for my entire family members without a TCC and my personal bank account statement

My submission is this, if all other docs are genuinely intact and the coy is doing averagely well, you can give it a shot.
All the best

What line of biz is your coy into?
Do you pay PAYE on your 300k monthly? And as such on your staff too. How many staff?
How long have you been operating?
May ask some more questions later

Good morning all. Please I am a self employed visa applicant but my company was registered last year. I have requested for nil tax clearance but due to the new directives from Firs, I was told they no longer issued nil tax clearance. The process involved in getting one can take up to 3weeks and my appointment is next week.

Although I pay myself consistent salary of N300,000 with other deposit from my tenants. Please I have the following questions to ask:
1. I have filled and submitted my application as self employed thinking I will be able to get my company tax clearance so that I can submit both my company and personal statement with a very good account operations. Please can I just submit my personal statement, payslip, bank reference,hotel reservation, letter of employment and reference letter from my company and explain with a letter that I am employed under my company as the Director of Operations? Or how best can I go about it?

2. Do I need to submit my company statement of account and certificate of registration since my company tax clearance is not yet ready?

Please my people help me oooooo.
