So airlines/agencies would tell you, you must have a return ticket but wont tell you, you need a transit visa for an eu memeber state? Stop all these your 2019 and pre brexit reference.. abeg u mr traveler wana tell nonsense for free...
I think once is the other Heathrow Airport not the BA one the Officer didn't request for my return ticket.... but its one of the requirements for visitors

The last time I travelled just after the Covid lock down was eased with their plenty protocols the lady had talked plenty talk and just asked for my return ticket she didn't even look thru it cus I showed her from my fone ..she just glanced... but its always better to be safe than sorry

Ignorance is not acceptable

You dont need a transit visa travelling through Turkiye so that should remain as an option to the traveler. That has nothing to do with E visa cancelled. Even when it was available Nigeria passport holders did not need one to transit through Turkiye
You don't require transit visa for Turkish Air and I said "just to spite them" normally with an e visa u could enter Turkey once u had a valid Uk, shenghen or US visa but now its just straight airport .... so many people transited via Turkish cus of cheaper travel and ability to enter with an E visa.


And you are still wrong about visitor visa NOT requiring a return ticket even SA will request talkless of UK even wen they have over gisted at border control they still say "can I see your return tickets?

You have to be very lucky to be skipped that question

Things has change a lot for Nigerian passport holder. You are right. The poser should check this website for information on how to apply for ATV. https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/visa-the-netherlands/airport-transit-visa/apply-nigeria

Better still, poser can avoid the Schengen area by using airlines like Turkish, Ethiopia, Kenya or Emirate.
Better remove Turkish they have cancelled the E visa (just to spite them) use Qatar, Emirates KLM France and Lufthansa all require transit visa.... its best you just apply for a visa than wastebasket money on transit only transit does not require account statements

So I was refuse visa yesterday. Reasons do not make sense to me. Yesterday was the graduation ceremony and he waited for 8weeks before refusing the visa. The officer claimed I didn't explain spending more money. However, I submitted a cover explaining all debits and credits on my bank statement for the 6 month period. To me his reasons are vague and flimsy and I'll like to complain. Do anyone know how I can go about it?
This People just look for flimsy excuse sometimes to deny you.....

A friend of mine got 10 years ban from Uk because he forgot to state that he had Uk visa refusal when filling his application.
Please I want to ask if he has a chance to appeal or what can he do please.
How did someone are a grave mistake like this ehn .... you applied for a UK visa and didn't declare a Refusal from the same UK

This UK that looks for the slightest thing to deny and give u ban ....

I am about applying for a renewal UK Visit Visa. I was refused a German Visa in 2019. When I applied for a UK Visit Visa in 2020 I decleared this refusal. My question is, since I was granted a UK Visit Visa in 2020, do I need to declare the German Visa refusal each time I apply for a renewal UK Visa?
You declared it before kindly declare it again

[quote author=leef2022 post=114956100]I don't get you all, what is eff about it, if the post intended to visit China after her visit to the husband from the UK and has ticket to further the trip, would that cause her a denial at the UK entry? No it may not, because she would have demonstrated her ability to leave the UK after her visit, but if she showed such itinerary to a bank she would not be given PTA as there is no evidence of a return back to Nigeria.

STOP CONFUSING UR SElF ONWARDS travel means there is a ticket out of The UK at a Point in time and that's also very fine some pple do multiple trips and it's allowed

[quote author=leef2022 post=114956786]"Suddenly "of course that is allowed" as if have a ticket to further a trip from the UK is a return back to place of departure, yet you don't see your shallowness?

If I changed my grounds point to me...

I repeat, With or without a return ticket you can enter the UK for visiting.....whatever evidence you come with at the border is on the visitor.

UNCLE as LONG as you HAVE a VISIT Visa to the UK or any other COUNTRY you mist show A RETURN TICKET they would always ask at the border PLEASE do NOT mislead anybody

It's ONE of the criteria for VISIT visa

With due respect to you, I was not responding to her post, but yours and requirements to process a PTA.

You may wish to educate me pls, is there anywhere the UK home office states if you are going for a visit to the UK and its borders, that you must book a return ticket?
Whatever reason and wherever you are headed to, if you want to process the PTA in Nigeria, you need a valid return ticket.(even persons with study visa who could stay for a longer period needed a return ticket to process, so i don't get what you on about visit or stay). And I suppose even if you had a visa that permits you to stay, if you needed a PTA for your trip, you needed to provide your financial institution with a valid return ticket....




A visit visa requires a Return Ticket

A PTA requires a Return ticket

Congratulations!!! Your story is a testimony. Make sure that you use the visa well well oh which is roughly equivalent to 10 times that of 6 months application fees. 10 years is not application fee is not cheap!

I did 5 years after weighing that my visits to the UK has reduced drastically coupled with covid, no free accommodation and may not visit more than once in a year. Had visa UK issued in March 2022, yet to use it. Anyway enjoy your trip.
Beht 10yrs is better than 5yrs truly wish I even did the 10yrs


I know someone that has the 5yrs and has not even used it coupled with the Covid stuff.... the person is not a fan of UK and their Training has shifted to other European countries... 2yrs and 5 yrs looks long but time flies so fast

Hello everyone, please is anyone having issue with UK visa page? Payment was made on Tuesday for Visitor visa application, bank deducted their money on Wednesday but up till today is still showing payment pending.

I called UK visa customer service here in the UK but the lady doesn't really know the process. She just told me to wait and gave me a reference number. What do you think I can do. The applicant is from Nigeria. Kindly assist if you have experienced this before. Thank you

And do you think she needs to do TB test as she will be frequent traveler and may stay up to 5month?
Your application seems to have hung o!! WRITE UR BANK LET THEM TRY AND GET U A REFUND

Visit visa does NOT need TB tests

Hi peeps! Does anyone knows if foreign airlines allows payment in local currency? If so, what rate are they using? I heard sometime back that they’ll start receiving fares in USD. I’m interested in Turkish, Qatar, Virgin, & BA. I’ve also have noticed that, return flights from Abuja is about 30% cheaper than Lagos. Anyone here please?
Call the airline they will give u current rate as at the day of payments

It's usually bank rate not black market rate.... Abuja flights seem cheaper than Lagos tho I have seen some cheap flights

[quote author=niyisfan post=112950453]Dear Nairalanders,

My sister was given a ban of 10 years this week, because she didn't state her previous student refusal and appeal.

This refusal was 13 years ago and it was our older sister that did all the processing. Hence she didn't remember to mention in this recent application as she didn't even remember at all.



*Surprised 13yrs and a ban....? Thought u were supposed to declare a refusal within 10yrs? Or has it changed ?*
