I really appreciate your response.
First question how does the tax clearance separate gross income from net income?

I’m really surprised that I need tax clearance for visiting Canada for a few days. With that said. This tax clearance thing is it the FIRS tax clearance or the tax receipt we pay to the government- I mean those payments made through proxy’s that come to our offices. I hope I laid my question out right
Good question, I know many times here many of us talk about tax clearance/certificate which is confusing sometimes.. let me put it this way..

The 7m in your account is not a net profit, it's your gross profit which needs to be taxed so as to know your actual take home profit.

Your tax clearance/certificate shows that and it also show the state of your business which will indicate whether you will be able to afford the trip to Canada.

You don't spend your gross profit on leisure trip, you spend your net profit leaving you with your gross profit to keep your business running and it also serves as your tie to Nigeria.

If you present the 7m as a business man how will the VO know how much out of that 7m is your gross or net profit?

Hi Guys,

Can anyone assist to review this refusal letter for my mum, She applied on the 1st of Nov and picked up today

1.) She provided a GT savings acct which has a balance of abt 200k which I sent to her in July. She mistakenly missed a cover letter explaining I transferred this to her.
2.) And also a Zenith Bank where she receives her monthly pension (73k), This was was stated as her monthly income in the application, the only unexplained remit in the account is about N1,435 which she paid in herself before printing her statement (wondered why she did that though).

So my Questions are
- is it advisable to apply asap (this coming week) with a cover letter explaining the above transactions, also with a transaction statement from me showing I transferred 200k in July?

- Does she need a new set of docs, her bank statement and my bank statements as the sponsor?

- Does she need a new invitation letter from me as we stated in her application she'll depart Nigeria Nov 18. I actually invited her over to celebrate her 65th Birthday with my family nextweek.
Doing that is important and you also need to supply financial documents to support money in her account and not just explanation alone.

Good afternoon house,, my question is, is it possible for a friend how base in uk (that has even invited his mum,broda,and broda son to stay with him forever) to invited another friend to stay with him forever? if yes what document do we need from him in uk and the friend in nigeria thanks for your great respond
Not possible legally and i doubt he invited his mum, brother and son to live with him forever legally, they probably overstayed their visiting visa.

Thank you.

N188,000 after tax and pension but i sell hairs at the side and get some money also monthly.
Pick tourist as cousin is not regarded as family member visa wise though standard visa covers all sub-visa categories including family visa.

Are they sending you documents to support your application?

'Sir im in a similar situation. I want to apply and i believe i have to be thorough . i run a business that has been registered since 2012 but i have never for once paid tax, do i need tax clearance?. Secondly my account accumulation for four months is 7m plus but in my business account not personal account, is this sufficient for tourist visa. Lastly what should be my Budget for the trip , should it be in Naira , USD or CAD, what should be the minimum. Thanks in anticipation
1. yes you need a tax clearance so as to separate net income from gross net income.

Its not always about having huge amount in your account, you need to support that amount with evidence of the source.


2. You need to draw the budget for the trip that will give you an idea about the amount suitable for your trip. Your budget will be in CAD. Nothing like minimum or maximum about to have in your account, it will depend on your budget for the trip and the strength of your income

Probably? Is my passport not really good to go as I already wanna start my application right away. And can you please help by giving me the link on how to apply, I intend not to use any fucking agent as I have my documents intact. Thanks boss
You need to have at least 6months left in your passport to be able to use it for visa application, so count from this month to April and tell me how many months.

Dr Gurus Justwise , front page lawyer and all,

Kudos for the good work youve been doing.

Please i need your guidance on the necessary steps to take regarding my passport being impounded.

An agent i got 2 years ago, had my passport stamped with a malaysian visa which was fake.
Based on this my passport has been impounded.
Please how is the best way to go about clearing things with the UK immigration to enable me reapply and not be banned for 10 years and retrieving my passport.

Your advice and guidance will be appreciated.

Thank you.
You need to contact Nigeria immigration for your passport as they usually hand it over to immigration authority.

Getting the UK visa will be a tough one as you have damaged your immigration profile

Hmmmm, uncle Justwise, I remember clearly that someone created a thread for PNP about a month ago, I'm very sure the topic clearly stated so and a lot of us were already following keenly till you came to shut it down saying we should all come here, we even came here to try to mention you and talk you into reopening it but you declined so some ppl resorted to joining whatsapp groups for the same purpose.
In all, I still think we need that thread for reasons previously stated.
..and I explained to you and others why I removed that thread created by that individual. He created that thread for wrong reasons and it’s a selfish one.

Just to say thanks to those who responded to my questions.
My mother and sister got their visas yesterday.
Biometrics 1st November,visa received by courier 15/11/17.
My husband and I were sponsors for my sister and I wrote a cover letter to that effect.I didn't get called by home office.I suspect maybe because she submitted with my mother who is self sponsoring and has an extensive travel history..I don't know for sure.

My sister is a final year student,we added copies of the following documents:

A letter from her school stating she studies there
A cover letter signed by husband and I stating our jobs and we will sponsor and accommodate while with us
My 6 months pay slips
Council tax
Proof of accommodation
6 months salary account statement
Husbands 6 months account statement
Our joint savings 6 months statement and my own 6 months savings account statement
My employment letter
Our British and Nigerian passport copies
My birth certificate

Also wrote a cover letter for my mother.

I'm sure it was a bit too much but it seems to have worked as they didn't bother to call me.

Cheers!
Congrat!

Good day guys..
A cousin of mine wants me to come join him in the UK, he has been there since '07, he told me he doesn't know anything about the travelling process cos his mom helped him when he went..and .I am 19...so he told me to make enquiry
Now I don't know anything about the process either...can someone please tell me the steps needed...
The type of visa I'll apply for, the minimum amount I should have in my acct as my parents are also involved.... Pls respond
Moving to the UK does not work the same way you move from Lagos to Abuja to live with a friend who is still living with mum and daddy.

Your cousin does not qualify to invite you and you don't have a tie to Nigeria because i guess you are not working or running your own business, you probably still a student living with your family.

Hello Justwise and other knowledgeable nairalanders on Visa matters.
Please I need your advice on the following questions bothering on Visitor visa application. I'm not completely a novice on visa matters though, as my masters degree was in UK.

A friend of mine is inviting me on a two weeks visit to the UK, all expense paid. My friend works in the UK and earns well so is capable of sponsoring my trip. However, I have the following questions:

1. Will it be ok with the ECO for my friend to sponsor the entire trip without my contribution?
2. Is there a minimum amount needed to enable my friend successfully sponsor the trip?
3. Is an invitation letter and sponsorship form required to aid my application?
4. Lastly, the issue of showing strong ties that guarantees my return, I'm yet to get a job, neither do I have any landed property to show strong ties, how do I go about this?

Any other advice necessary to make my application a smooth one will be well appreciated.
Thanks
That is the real issue with your application, without a strong tie to Nigeria your chances of getting a visa is very slim.

Your friend's sponsorship alone is not enough in this case as you can't prove that you will be coming back to Nigeria if given a visa.
