Give details of how much money you are planning to spend on your visit to the UK. This should be a number

How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK?

Those who have entered zero before should guide you on how to do it.

On that section, is it actually possible to enter zero there? 1000 GBP is not zero na. Please clarify so you do not make same mistake again

narpheesarh:
I'm not an agent please. I applied for my bro. And it was zero I put, maybe you misunderstood. I have applied for my parents so many times without issues. His case is just different being a student hence why I have come for advice here. Will a departmental letter suffice as an evidence? I know attendance may be difficult to prove in a school like OAU. Please your suggestions are needed..what other things can he get as a proof. And he may not have enough in his account , can he still submit his bank statement like that? Thank you for your input

Hello Nairaland so I applied for a tourist visa for France which was unfortunately denied last week. Was looking to travel with my family, (two sons and wife), which are currently all UK citizens. Had a prior Schengen Visa to France about five years ago, have a previous UK visa, plus a current one as well. Account balance was over 5 million, plus also added my USD savings account info which is close to $20k. The reason for refusal was “ Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided”. I included all necessary documents needed, as Ive been following this forum for quite awhile to know what was necessary before applying. I had also stated in my application that I’ll be spending a couple of days in Spain at a resort, but France would be the POE and where I’ll be spending the longest. I could have appealed but felt like it’ll would be quicker and easier to reapply. My question is should I reapply via France with the same documents but add updated bank statements and my renewed residential and business lease, and also give a better explanation of my itinerary, which I felt like I did initially but, didn’t give a day to day breakdown of my trip, or altogether just try another Schengen country to apply like Spain? I have businesses in Nigeria which I included proof in my application, kind of stumped as to why my application was actually denied, especially with UK travel history and a previous Schengen visa.

Very unfortunate events are unfolding lately.

You have a solid travel background.

I advise you to appeal while you look for other means.

Thegamingorca:
You don't just go to any state authority and run it. It's either you go to your own state where it was authorized or Abuja HQ

E be like say you dey work with immigration officers for Aflao border . As for Nigerians, You can get your passport done in any state.

Update yourself abeg

Oggg:
passport can be done anywhere oooo..

I tire for ham o.

You can get a renewed passport in Niger State in 48hrs. It is up to you. No immigration officer here, if Lord helps you succeed, Kindly communicate back. Goodluck

mrflow1:
VERY URGENT!!!!!!

Good evening my people. Please I have trip to the UK next week for 3 weeks but my intl passport expires July 9. Hope there won't be any issues at border control here and over there too?

Kindly advice especially if there are practical instances you are aware off.

Give more details. What did they put on your decision letter.

Essy01:
I applied for tourist visa to France and I did not attach statement of purpose. I was refused based on that. I was told I can appeal. I would like to know if I should appeal and attach my statement of purpose or reapply. Thank you

Even when you are sponsoring, the applicant still has to show financial statements. It was clearly stated

narpheesarh:
The 1000gp is the total for his trip including flights which answers the question of how much are you personally spending. However, i have said i will sponsor him with the whole amount in the application and there is enough money in my account . He didn't show his bank statement at all since he won't be spending any money from his own savings. He is just a student. Thanks

The 1000 gbp where did it emanate from? What did you put in that place they asked how much you personally intend to spend? How much was sponsors balance and his own balance

narpheesarh:
Hi everyone. Please what sort of evidence can an undergraduate in Nigeria who is applying to visit the UK attach to prove his student status. My younger brother has just been refused because we didn't supply enough evidence. Just an ID card and an IT letter from school was submitted. The second reason for refusal is that he didn't show evidence of his financial status. I'm attaching the refusal letter. If you have experience in this sort of application, could you please advice us. Thank you

giselle237:
I understand how u feel and even though the ECO didn’t state it there are other reasons why they just don’t believe in ‘you’
Its a guess thing they do.. trying to guess who will return or not and unfortunately your documents and the whole feel of your application were not convincing enough to them hence the refusal. U also state u didn’t have a leave letter, this also shows how the whole thing looks..
how will the embassy assist u? If you are employed, at least they should be able to say they have no objections and you are on leave.. it’s because of how things work in the UK and I’ll like to add should work… then u say ur company pays u in crypto.. the probability of your genuineness was not well transposed to them. Sorry.
Find another location and do your travels to as it was a reward from your father. That way even when you reapply un the future, your travel during this time will serve as an alibi to your statement now. It would show ooh you really did take a trip that was a reward..
then learn more about where you are going, in your cover letter I didn’t get the feel of tourism at all.. u made general submissions about why you chose the UK.. nothing to hit at the interest of the ECO that ohh this one has researched so much and is dying to take this trip.. this is only my opinion. All the best

I need you to spevifically respond to this.

If one get to that part of the form,

That says.

How much do you personally intend to spend in the UK?


If the applicant is not adding 1kobo, should they enter the amount the sponsor is commiting?

Please clarify this aspect, because i noticed it confuses people alot here especially the ones applying with Sponsors

TCD:

Bros. i don tire to dey here this thing, it is online. Oya send me the link abeg or you just mail

modskiller:
It’s online. I think it’s a two page form written in French and English.

Can anyone be so kind and nice enough to send the morocco visa form they used here:

Na beg i dey beg.

You mean they have started doing interview too for morocco?

Please share your 2cents

1daboi:
1. Yes, you must submit it by yourself and get interviewed same day.

2. They don't have office in Lagos

3. I flew o. But met 2guys that came by road there.

4. About 10m

Infact.
That is the best.
Irregularities in income and expenditure can confuse ecos.
Open an account for the purpose of visa applications only.
This is what i believe alot do.

In any case, run the account like a salary account, avoid excess transactional inflows and outflows

Daniel2802:
Thanks for the feedback, wasn't aware of the CAC link.

I guess what I'll do it to keep an account where I make regular, uniform deposits. Then use it for anything application.

Daniel2802:
As regards the inactive status, it's my father's business and I asked him if the person who did the registration is still keeping it active and he said yes.

As for the cover letter for huge deposit, I literally told them the truth. That's how I receive money as I have to rely on P2P from traders to change my money. There's really nothing I can write again unless I want to lie which I can't.

I always try to be modest with my feedbacks but i do not think you did well by holding to the information your dad gave you.

You could have just confirmed here https://search.cac.gov.ng/home

That been said, the issue with large deposits is unexplainable because this is the area ecos hammer applicants mostly.

Subsequently, operate a very simple account with lesser transactions.

My honest input.

Daniel2802:
My application got rejected despite the numerous documents I uploaded. It's quite tiring and from the refusal statement, it's more like the ECO didn't read the letter.

I no fit laugh abeg
Make God help us from all these ECOS.

Analysts over to una o

As regards inactive status, bruh , you should have fixed that na.

Please you guys should be reading back back to get hints on how to write a cover letter for huge deposits in accounts.

LORD HELP US WITH UK NOW ABEG, i don tire for analysis

Sorry about your refusal

Give a little profiile of yourself

Temidjoy:
Thanks so much for this. Wondering if tourism is strong enough to convince the VO

Sure.You can enter Germany via france, however, your application to travel to France should be on the premise of tourism. Hopefully, you can be considered.

Do not present your application, with statement like you intend to enter Germany via france.
Your application should be direct.
Do you grab?

Temidjoy:
Hello everyone!

I will be speaking at a tech conference in Germany sometime in September. The issue is that there are no dates for Germany at all, so I'm thinking I could apply to France and enter Germany from there.

Is this possible incase I don't eventually get a Germany appointment?

Sir/ma, I have to be honest with you. When it comes to visa, just forget about documents. Pray to your God everything works fine. Have you not been reading posts of applicants with several visas still get rejected? need less to talk of UK or US, abeg, na God dey do ham. Lets leave it like that.

Enishit:
Most times we applicant takes all this for granted just because we have the other strong countries visa we don’t seems to understand that all applications are unique we must all put all necessary and unnecessary docs. But this is my own opinion thou. I just submitted my France application this is my second time of applying, I have both expired and unexpired visa for Canada, UK, US I still feel something is missing on my application.

I was chatting recently with an immigration expert. They also express same views as regards visa outcomes. 30% documents, 70% luck

May you achieve success in your application.

Even if the person hasnt traveled before. For Uk and Us[, the falls into the category of frequent travelers.quote author=Enishit post=122737282]
As the person travelled to France before or any other Schengen countries?[/quote]

agathacally:
Someone who had multiple travel history to UK and US was denied a France visa last week

Reason was they couldn’t justify he will return

I was shocked

France oflate has become very notorious for visa refusals. Very very notorious. I stand to be corrected.

Folks, i verified the PTA status.

Please find extract of mail by my account officer.

"Good evening,

Yes. $2,000 or it's equivalent in 3rd currencies at the moment"

Thank you"

The max you can get now.

Abbeybaba:
I have a question, my wife got admission to study in Canada and she already there. I have good job here but want to apply for Visa for myself and kids. People are saying visitor visa delay but I don't want to stay more than a month. Can I come back with open work permit if I apply for that. Why is delay in visitor visa?

Do you mean canada or Uk visa. This is Uk section, be specific

Does anyone here has contact of a law firm that assist on immigration matters in France here?

The firm has to be based in france.
Kindly share contacts.

Some persons need these contacts on the group.

How true. Because i initiated a pta request in March , i was allowed 4kusd. I am not in doubts tho, i will verify with my account officer and correspond.

MadeMan01:
Maximum PTA is now US$ 2,000.
Reduce if over this sum or check is you applied before
