Justwise
Good day my brother. Thanks for the job ur doing. I downloaded the application form today.
I work with a financial institution with income of 117k monthly. Annual of 1.9m. (As stated in the embassy reference letter sent to me from d office) including other incentives like upfront, 13th month n all dat. I also have a registered company as side business which i make up to 100k monthly.So let's just put it I make 200k monthly.

So in d form they asked ' what is my total monthly income from all sources.
I have 1.2m in my salary account as savings, 250k in another account n 300k in my business account. ( I have products in my show glass worth like a million) my Biz offers product sales n services.

U suggested I submit my cac certificate n bank statement to support my documents. I haven't paid any tax anyway so no tax clearance

I have some shares certificates I will submit as well alongside my car documents

Q1: what is my total monthly income from all sources
( 117k basic salary or 200k both basic n Biz )
Q2: what money is available for ur trip. I intend to spend
Ans for a 7days trip
£800 that's N380k( tryna work around 2.5 times my monthly income, since u advised that spending more than 2 months salary is a red flag )

Ticket 210k £453
Accommodation hostel 60k £127
Feeding 30k £50
Shopping n sightseeing 80k £170
Total 380k £800


Q3. Have u ever been refused visa for any country
Ans : yes USA 2017 but I can't remember the reason in that blue paper. I was so angry to even read it. Maybe no travel history then so I went to Dubai.

Q4: Will not paying tax impose a problem. Its just an enterprise company anyways

1. Your salary plus your business income is the answer to that question

2. State a breakdown of your budget

3. Yes you have to answer yes and give brief explanation

4. Without paying tax how will you know your net income?

emadamysy:
please is it possible for a first time traveler to be issued visa. Earning 150k monthly , savings of about 1.1 in mutual funds. Budget for trip is 400k

I doubt that

Hadampson:
Hallo leute (Hello guys)
I don come again with another useful epistle. Kindly bear with me

As you already know that ich bin ein deutscher Mann but i must admit Canada is one of the best countries in the world to relocate to.. No doubt and its very obvious that most nairalanders on this section love Canada more than Germany. So that is why i want to share what i got from my research

Now, let's get down to business

There are far many Canadian visa threads here covering all aspects please look for appropriate one and post this.

lereinter:
The aforementioned name wrote on NL that he's a Poland visa travel agent

He dropped his whatsapp number and I chatted him

The screen shot bellow was our conversation and how it went about

Do you have his nairaland ID?

Good job though

ILoveDLord:
OK wonderful people!

THIS IS MY STORY, THIS IS MY SONG.

APPLICATION FOR MSC ADMISSION
-----------------------------------------------------------


----------------------


In all God be praised!


Keep the hope alive. It shall be well


O my God!

GUYS APPROVAL ALERT! This morning!!

I'm overwhelmed! I am coming back!!

Please leave this long post on quote, I put it on quote before but you removed it.

Baggie887:
I mean out of the £700 my brother is contributing £526 while i take up the remaining amount. I understand your calculation below

That makes your tie to Nigeria even weaker because you are not capable of sponsoring yourself.

Baggie887:
I forget to include that i have a landed property which i leased out but do give me a revenue of 250k per year

That's about 20K a month plus your salary = 70K

Your budget of £700 is about N327,711, so you are planning to spend that amount in 8days while it takes you little above 12months to earn that. Even if you are traveling to witness the birth of Jesus in the U.K. Your chances of visa refusal is higher.

Baggie887:
50k per month but my brother will be contributing £526 towards my travel

Your chances of getting a visa is very slim

Baggie887:
Good day all,

Please help me check my budget for 8days trip to the uk to visit a friend and i need your suggestions.

Return flight ticket - £525
Transport - £50
Living expenses - £65
Miscellaneous- £60
Total - £700

How much do you earn monthly?

vikkeyonline88:
hello, my uncle is the one sponsoring my Master dg in Uk but not with same surname l'm just thinking incase the school ask me to provide statement of account of the one sponsoring me,hope it won't affect bn denied admission or visa so far we r not bearing same surname?

Post this question here https://www.nairaland.com/2575449/uk-student-visa-tier-4

..but your uncle can not sponsor you, read that thread well.

Tawakalituolas:
Okay, how much are they going to charge me for the call or mail?

Email is about £5.80 and call I think £1.50 per minute

Zeana112:
Hello house,
I would like to share my story, perhaps your contributions will go a long way in helping my application.
2012 April; Married a British citizen.
2012 July; Changes was made to Uk spouse Visa by British Government. Thus the minimum income requirement.
2012 December, I applied for spouse Visa despite that my wife wasn't earning 18600. She was earning little above 14000 pounds then.
Feb 2013; Visa application was refused.
August 2013; I applied for a Visiting visa which was refused.
July 2014; Applied for a Visiting Visa, was also refused.
Since then I haven't made any application.
My wife and I had always been seeing either in US, Dubai or sometimes when she comes to Lagos.
Now we have 2 girls aged 6 and 6months old.
Due to her need to look after the children, she couldn't work full time.
Now I am thinking of relocating to them and applying again using the cash savings route by selling my property in Magodo, Lagos. Which can raise well over the needed 62500 pounds savings we need for the application.
I have own the property for well over 2years and I learnt I don't need to keep the proceeds for 6month if I am selling my property to show proof of funds. So far I can show the purchase and sales documentation.
My question is;
When I bought the house, I have all the deeds and letter of purchase from the real estate company, but the C of O document wasn't in my name, because the land was originally bought by someone that did the CofO which subsequently had be sold and resold before I finally bought the property.
To this situation, I need an advice of what type of documents do I need to provide.
Furthermore, can I just put the proceeds into my mutual fund account for 6 months and then withdraw to my savings prior to my application at the end of six months period. This way I can get statement for my mutual fund to show the origin of the funds.
Thank you all.

Since those children are British you don't need to show any money for them.

The savings will be £16000

Kenttoday:
Praise God!!!
Hubby got his visa.

Wow.. to God be the glory
Thank you all so much for all your wonderful inputs... answering questions, etc.. so grateful.
God bless you

Timeline to follow

Congratulations!

YourOgaAtTheTop:
God bless you brother. So all I need the school in UK to send me is just SPONSORSHIP LETTER (covering everything) and I'm good to go right?

And I just email the school in India.... I will let you know whatever reply I get from them.

Thanks once again!

..and take your time to go through this link https://www.gov.uk/study-visit-visa

Make sure that the school is registered and licensed to admin foreign students

Tawakalituolas:
please, can i contact them with this?

Sure you can

YourOgaAtTheTop:
Yes justwise you're correct. The London school wants to show that they will be in charge of my living and all other expenses through the admission letter NOT their bank statement. (Do I still need to provide my own bank statement?) the Indian school is a private school and he said he will give his bank account statement to support my application.

Thanks Bro

Regarding the UK school..you don't need to add your own bank statement if the sponsorship letter from the school covers everything.

I'm not sure about the Indian school but it doesn't sound right to me

tywoare33:
@justwise i have booked am appointment on the tlscontact platform but i am yet to get a pre oder email confirmation for my appointment. My appoitment is schedule for monday. what do you advise i do. Thank you

Have you checked your junk mail ? Contact them if you haven't seen any and also printout your application form to take long on Monday. If the security refused to let you in you show them evidence of application

MrsDaniels:
@Justwise Even my sis inlaw hasnt received dispatch email from UKVI since that email they sent to her apologising for not been able to process her applicatio within that time frame which you said its a standard email from ukvi when they are unable to finish within the specfied period and she did biometrics on 12th March. She scheduled 1st April as departure date but she hasnt even gotten her email. Justwise is this a usual thing?

You are panicking too soon as visiting visa usually take longer than a month

YourOgaAtTheTop:
I want to attend a 3months course in London and another in India. Both schools agree to provide me with their bank statements (to act like my sponsor).

Now my question is, do I still need to submit my own bank statement while applying for visa?

NB: My bank account statement is not too good so please kindly help.


Thanks!

I'm not sure you understands what they meant because no school will send you bank statement.

Tawakalituolas:
Justwise please i need a quick response on my question. I did mine biometric on the 11th of March and I got message from UKVI that my visa application has been dispatched on the 25th of March. I went to TLS office on 4th of April to check if my visa is ready for collection, but on getting there I was told that it wasn't ready that i should wait for their mail.i didn't received any message from them before i went though. It's 11days now and i don't know why it's been delay. Please, what do you think it's going on because my departure date is less than two weeks now.

You are not the only one having this sort of issue, you have to call or email the embassy for an update

sparklerii:

This visa is nothing but God and it’s a intellectual war between me and the VO that handled my application.

I want to use this measure to thank honorable justwise without you, this thread wouldn’t be possible. Thank you sir for the opportunity. I feel you don’t like me but I love you.

I also want to thank the man I value and treasure sir Frankrobben. Bro you be angel (no too much talk)

I also want to thank my manny Jibola AKA sleeksoft thank you brother. You inspired me a lot, thanks my brother thank you my brother.

I also want to thank man like galala123 and canadabyfire I learned a lot from you guys

I also want to thank my Algonquin brother 042viber I can’t wait to welcome you to our school. Your visa is next in line.

I want to thank the man of action Makano thank you so much for everything, your visa is next in line. God that didn’t neglect me will never neglect you and 024viber

I want to thank anita and deborah thanks for your prayers, I will do everything within my power to congratulate you girls in Canada.

Mcobex bbcue, Mr j, justmellow (English man) and the rest..., thank you for your selfless contribution.

The one and only Naijaforeigner, this guy is Phenomenal thank you for your selfless service
I’ve leaned a lot from you.

Bracha thank you so much for your selfless service. Thank you. Fine girl with the good heart.

To every hopefuls don’t give up on your dreams.

To all May June and July applicant slide in my pm, I have a secret for you guys.

I actually went to anifowoshe on Wednesday. The person I met just like me at first sight and he told me the secret then he prayed for me and wish me good luck. I may go back there and tell him thank you.

This visa suffered me.
The day I did my biometrics, VAC was still working till 8 pm that day, I left home around 7 and left VAC 7 pm. I was sleeping on steering... I almost had an accident that very day but God came through for me. So whenever I remember that day and imagine why my visa is still pending, tears will drop from my eyes and I will look up to God.

I contacted more than 150 MPs (senators) in Canada then on Wednesday I gathered mind and drive straight to Anifowoshe.

I was in the movies watching “Hotel Mumbai” as soon as they finished the movie, I saw the alert in my email address.

I will recommend you guys to watch that movie and thank me later.

God is indeed faithful
Nara ekele chineke.
May June July, don’t lose hope, your visa is sooner. Don’t forget to hit my pm.
“God answers prayers”

God bless everyone that is reading this my success story. Whatever you ask from God, don’t give up, he knows your worries. He will answer your prayer.

“When God wants you to grow, he makes you uncomfortable”

Please don’t mind my typo error. I am so eegxited.

Congratulations!

Thanks for the reply. Into sports

Sports as what?

Pharmacology:
Is a hostel reservation on booking.com enough for UK visa application?
@Justwise

Yes.

kennystones:
Good day house. An unofficial business partner of mine who is in the UK. Is looking to bring me over to the UK. He is looking to bring me over to work for him as he will be my sponsor. He owns a company over there and I will be working for him . What needs to be done by him over there. And what are the requirements I need , while applying for the Visa. I'm completely new to the process

What field of business?

He needs to get you certificate of employment from the government then you can apply for work visa, though I don't think it's going to be easy..depending of the field of business

inphoenix:
Thank you @justwise.

So good to still have you here after so many years. Always wonder why you remain so consistent and ever so helpful.

I've been been to the UK four times now since my first refusal way back in 2013. I'm usually silent here but I keep coming here and each time learn from your advice which is always apt and has been invaluable to me and I'm sure a host of others too. God bless you

I'm applying for a 2 years visa this time around. My understanding is that I don't have to wait for the current visa to expire before I do.

Thanks

Sure you can renew before the visa expires.

Good to read from you again.

iche123:
HI Justwise,AS we were refused on December 2017,she didn't reapply again due to the cost involved however,i was the only one that applied for visitors visa.Though she deferred her admission.Is it wise for her to reapply again while i apply as her dependent or i apply for this MRES course while she apply as my dependent..Please i need an easy solution considering the amount involve in UK visa application at the moment,thanks

If you have the money now then correct the previous mistake that lead to your wife refusal and reapply with your wife as the main applicant

iche123:
Good day everyone especially justwise for all your good works.I recently came to be aware of this group and have read and gained alot from hundreds of pages in this forum from highly respected professionals. Thanks ones again for all your good works.i need your advise please.I actually schooled in the UK for my MSC Marketing from January 2013 to 2014 and actually came back December 2014.I have applied for visiting visa on September 2017 but was refused because the VO observed that there was inconsistent deposits in my account.Then my wife got admission to study Msc and i applied together with her as her dependent on December 2017 but the VO rightly refused us because we wrongly left the fund (balance of tuition fee and maintenance) in my account instead of my wife's account as the main applicant.I applied again for visitors visa around October 2018 but it was also refused because the VO refered to my previous refusals and also pointed that there was not enough transactions in my account statement and also i did not present any assets i have in Nigeria.Now i got admission for a master by research programme (MRES) on Business Management for September session,my question is,will my previous refusals be a challenge for this new application and two, do i meet the progression criteria having studied in UK previously on MSC marketing.I actually want to progress to a Phd programme with the help of this programme.Thanks all and hope you will do justice to my present challenge.

1.Did your wife finally got the visa?

2. Are you planning to apply together with her now?

Regarding the progression question...you really have to take your time and explain to the ECO the difference between these two courses and your career plan after the study.

US student visa thread

DMainMan:
No. You are incorrect. You can use it for also visitor visa.

I used it when I sponsored someone.

It is also in the UK visa website.

"
Use ‘Form SU07’ to support the application of a person who is applying to come to the UK to visit or settle.

This form is to confirm that you will be responsible for the applicant’s maintenance, accommodation and care, without relying on public funds:

for at least 5 years, if they are applying to settle

throughout their stay in the UK if they are applying to visit"

Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sponsor-a-visa-applicant-form-su07

Obviously you don't get it, you don't need that form for visiting visa.

You don't spend 5yrs in the UK on visiting visa

Nnelily:
Good morning and I appreciate your good works.

Pls advise us.
My husband works with Dangote cement company, he's salary is just a 120k
Of course he makes times 4 of his salary from side runs cos their are such opportunities but u know this can't be enlisted when applying since it isn't tied to his salary but like 500k inclusive of salary hits his account monthly.
I run a business that gives me 100k on an average monthly but it isn't registered yet.
My sister in law, his sister is married to a Nigerian doc in the Uk and they will have a child in maybe one year cos they just got married and she plans to settle b4 taking in cos she just relocated courtesy of her husband . We plan on visiting them when she puts to bed so this is a one year plan. My husband has 7million in his account and could become 10 or 12m in one year time after projects and upkeep since he still makes money from other hustles. Should I register my small business so it will be one year plus when I apply for visa when the time comes. Do we tell them to invite us when it's time and what kind of visa are we applying for. I just want a general guide to get this visa when the time comes. I hate heartbreak hahaha. I have never traveled likewise him. He hates to travel in short.
We intend to spend like 600k to 1m on the entire vacation to my inlaw which is far bigger than his earnings but not bigger than his side runs that much.
We have a good acc balance remember.
We have a child as well.
I have asked him to change job for better pay but his so much interested in his side runs and hustle which everyone does in the company. It is not fraud but just getting buyers for their product and getting percentages and he said no company will pay him such amount he makes for now cos sometimes he makes big cash. He has worked 5 years.
What's your best advise?
Thank you.

Yes they need to send you an invitation letter and you need to apply for visiting visa.

Since this is one year ahead you need to read this thread as all the information you need is here

Somexboy:
Please guys i need assistance on uk visa process...so my sis base in the uk and she wants me to come visit her over their...she'll take care of all the expenses...my question is since she will b the one to do everything , do i need to have a particular amount of money in my account..cos my salary is below 50k....please i need help on this..thanks

Even as your sister will be taking care of everything you still need to provide solid proof that you will come back to Nigeria if given a visa, so your job and level of salary matters a lot. Your salary is low and is likely to be an issue.
