Thanks man. i will take my sworn affidavit to NPC (surulere) to obtain another certificate. but the main issue is that of the company's account. since i will also require minimum of six months validity on my passport that will make it more challenging to for me. i have to be sincere with you i have not been using it.

what do you think?

Six Months Statement of account is the standard requirement.

Why not get Birth Certificate from NPC?

You have most of the documents to show your social and economic ties. Having said that, there is no guarantee about visas, but the better prepared you are, the better your chances of getting approved. For your financial accounts, make sure there is regular activity for the past 6 months. You must prove to the ECO that you will not become a financial burden to the UK Government or decide not to return to Nigeria. The more evidence they see that you will return back to Nigeria, the better your chances.

You don't have to open a salary account. Let your personal account act as your salary/personal account, but avoid money lodged in its entirety.

You'll need to submit the following documents, Original and Photocopies;

Marriage Cert. OK
Birth Cert. OK SWORN AFFIDAVIT
Company Documents CAC : OK, XYZ NIGERIA ENTERPRISES, Contract papers: OK, SUBCONTRACT, Invoices:OK, Receipts e.t.c: OK
Tax Clearance: WILL GET THAT
Evidence of VAT payment WILL GET THAT
Company statement of account: THREE MONTHS
Personal statement of account, showing your monthly salary
Company ID: OK
Introduction Letter on your letterhead: OK

You'll need to build a very strong Social, Family, and Economic Ties, therefore I'll advise you keep running your business account for now, keep all transaction documents, receipts, clearance certificate, VAT payment (Enterprise)
Your business account should be separated from your personal account which should also serve as your salary account.
As a business owner, it is also advisable your work out your Monthly wages which should be transferred from your Company's account to your personal/salary account at the end of every month.



build a very strong Social: this should be in terms of my business which is very well on ground.
Family: i have my wife and daughter and other family dependants
Economic Ties:?
business account: this be less than six months by time will be submitting my application and my passport will be expiring six months after submission.
keep all transaction documents, receipts: i have my receipt booklets, job approvals, quotations/proforma invoices, delivery notes, way-bills.
clearance certificate, ?
VAT payment (Enterprise): will work towards that. will there still be need for my personal income tax?
business account should be separated: it is. but won't be up to six month by the time i submitting my application
personal account: i have not been paying my self but i transfer from by business account to my wife's account and my personal account
your salary account: this should be the same as my personal account or do i have to open another one?
business owner Monthly wages although i have not been doing that but i have always transfer to my wife's account and my personal account

Good day all, I have been following this thread for some days now and I've found it to be very interesting, thumbs up to you all. I need your option on my coming application.

I have once applied and granted a six months UK visa some years 2012, which I only used (ten days) once as a bachelor and then working (for three years) with a privately owned oil and gas company.

Now, i am married with a kid and planning to apply (January) next year alone without my family.

I have retired (January 2013) from that employment, I own my own transport business (oil and gas logistics) and also runs a block moulding (transferred family business) and supplies business, both I run under a business name (Enterprises) registration, which I registered years ago even before I got the said job. I never mentioned anything about the registered business name in my last UK application. Most times, payments come through my personal account and I rarely use my business account. My business account may not be up to six months when I will be applying in January. My personal account is very active and I have instructed my clients and agents to pay directly into my business account from now on.

What are my chances and challenges?
