Good day pals. Please I am in dire need of help. I lack first hand information on how to go about getting a UK student Visa ( Under Graduate). I was asked to drop my enquirers here.
1) How much does my sponsor need to have when I get her statement
2) Do I need IELTS / TOFEL
3) Do I need to pay my school fees here or when I get there
4) How much is the whole thing going to cost.. Rough estimate.

Please I am looking forward to getting help from this page. Thanks.

This is the right thread for your question https://www.nairaland.com/2575449/uk-student-visa-tier-4

Read it for answers to your question

Brightingsus:
Would a[b]dvise you to renew your passport first. That's a red light as it will make the Entry Clearance Officer doubt that you would return when you should. What I know is you should not use a passport which validity expires before the end of the term of the visa sought unless it is a settlement visa.[/b] Nevertheless I'll allow the more experienced on this forum answer the second bit of your question.

Can you provide a link where you read that from?

iamnikky69:
Hi everyone, pls my passport will expire next year May. Can i still apply for a 2yr or 5yr visa with the passport? what happens if they eventually give me. Thanks

You don't need to renew your passport and you can apply for 2 or 5yrs visa with your current passport

Hello everyone. I'm new here, have been reading this thread for the past one month. I'm planning to have my 1st missionary journey (first time mum). -i'm yet to apply for visa coz I need some clarity. My MIL is the sponsor (we would be travelling together). she's a retiree who earns pension . However she just sold a property and the money was deposited into her account. This account is what she intends to present as her account statement for our trip, sure the amount in there Is more than enough for the missionary journey. My question is, since there's a sudden inflow of cash into the account, would that raise an eyebrow? Is there something to worry about? She's widely travelled so her passport isn't virgin.
Pls suggestions and advice are welcomed.

Reading those sections in bold the first thing that came to my mind is..this is not fair

Goodday everyone. I am new on this platform. Nice job you guys are doing here. I have just been offered admission to a university in Estonia. Nigeria don't have an Estonia Embassy, so I will be going to the Estonia Embassy in London to obtain my TRP. I would need a United kingdom visa, so I can visit the Embassy of Estonia, London afterwards I head straight to Estonia. My questions are;

1. What kind of visa should I apply for?

2. Can my step father be my sponsor?

Thanks

No Estonia Embassy anywhere in Africa? British embassy will question your intentions since there are Estonia Embassy in Ghana, Egypt etc

Thank you for your response Justwise. What I want to know is, who gives the appointment, visa4UK site or tls. I would like to know what the procedure is. Can she select a date on the site that is suitable for her?

Also,not that you can say what is on their mind, what business is it of BHC or TLS whether she has a written or oral permission. I was only wondering if they considered such but I suppose that i sup to them. Thanks for your response

If your mum is submitting leave letter then there's no need for written letter from her employer but if she is traveling outside her annual leave then a written statement from her employer is a must as it strengthens her tie to Nigeria

filcast:
That's over 14 years ago and I can't remember exactly. Is there any other means of finding out?

I don't know of any

Hello all,
I have two questions. Seems like thing shave changed since the last time I applied for a visa for my mum. Before I filled her form and sent it to her and she turned up at the British High commission in Abuja but seems like they have an intermediary company now. I am filling out her form on visa4UK site, do they require an appointment in Abuja with the new TFL site. It's a confusing website on it sown as it says to only create a profile after finishing so I am not sure if she can just turn up or if she requires an appointment. Has anyone applied for a visitor visa recently.

Secondly my Mum will be coming over for a month to help me as I am having a baby. Do you suppose the visa folks would be wondering ,since her application says teacher, how come she is going away for a month, who would teach her kids or if that is not their business. She has a verbal agreement with her school to stay and come back in October and obviously term time starts mid September or am I overthinking this. I am a bit of an overthinker. sorry y'all.

I want o apply for a 5 year visa fo rher so she doesnt have to travel to Abuja everytime she needs to apply. She has been to the UK 3X and had previously had a 6 month visa and a 2 year visa. She has been working with the Feral Government since the 80's.

Thanks in advance

Yes she will be given an appointment date for biometric and supporting documents submission .

Verbal agreement is not good enough she needs a written permission from her employer to travel for that long

saiprojects:
I see what you mean but a cover letter was defo included; we should have put pictures, BC etc like you said.. well lessons learnt now, will probably try again even though there was something like a 10 year clause on the letter, which is basically if applied again, it might or might not be granted! We shall see....

That sounds like 10yrs ban and you should pay close attention to that to avoid wasting next application fees.

Something might have gone wrong during the first application.

jaypee2017:
Please, I made a Tier 4 dependent application to join my spouse at Ikeja which was refused because I didn't do a TB test. I reapplied at VI, Lagos and submitted my application wednessday and included the TB result. The result of the TB result shows am pregnant, will that be a problem? secondly, applications made in VI, are they determined in Nigeria? and finally, I have not received an email to say my application has been received or sent to the UKVI.

How many months pregnant? It could be an issue as regards to financial requirement because the cost of bringing up that child will be considered since you will not be entitled to benefit.

I don't know where application made in VI is determined but that wouldn't make any difference though.

mojolaayeni:
Please educate me on how I can apply for UK visit visa renewal, in which am applying with my child. would I fill a separate from for her, cos I want to apply for 5 years and my child hasn't visited before

Yes you have to

hello house,
I desire to visit the UK and need your advise on how to have successful visa application.
I am married with 3 kids, working with a nationally recognized firm and earn up to N200K monthly.

Also, I was denied both UK and US visa sometime around 2002/2003. Is there a way to find out why I was denied and how it affects my chances this time.

Thanks in advance.

That should be in the refusal letter given to you then

There is German student visa thread here where you should post this

@All

You need to be careful with anybody offering to help you make foreign payment.

Trade carefully if you don't know that person very well

Gloriagee:
Skeptical bout ur claims since every post requesting info as to why my posts were cancelled have been deleted by u

justwise:
@Gloriagee

Click on desoul's profile and send her a PM if you want her contact

This thread is not a branch office of VOA contact agents

Please stop derailing this thread

nefertitiram:
Sweet!!!!

We should throw a party!

Thumbs up to JW! You are the real MVP! Deleting all her comments as e de hot was just epic!

Some people who came here to do in-thread-ad knew very well that it will be deleted but they are hoping that before i do they might have gotten one or two customers

chybaz:
Thank you very much.

What's my hope of getting a visa if I apply with a dependant, like my best cousin who will help with cooking etc. She's about 20 and has only waec.

That is not a good reason as a student to apply with a dependant, you need to be very very pretty rich with a proven source of your money to pull that off if at all.

chybaz:
Thank you.

Also the agent that worked the u.s visa put countries visited. Listed four countries which I have never been in. Pls can I just ignore it in my Canada application and be truthful, because I am not comfortable with losing.

Pls can you also help me with link to list of documents deemed very important to submit in applying for the student visa. How much minimum is needed in bank balance, etc

You have no choice than to be completely honest in your application else you will be banned by the embassy.

This thread and the previous ones are full of list of documents submitted by previous applicants, please get ready with pen and paper to start reading and ask question when needed.

Justwise?

What happened to the promise of lifetime ban?

He/she deactivated .. probably an old member

Justwise are you the one deleting my posts ?

Sick this morning ? Ban if you wish

Only if you could give in the same energy to your own business .... I see talent... @ whoever is deleting my post

..lol you deactivated your account? That did not last too long

chybaz:
I am yet to apply. I am gathering facts, so I don't end up wasting money on visa fee. But I can gather money from my family Upto 7m. School that gave me admission is toronto uni. I heard declaring the denial can spoil chances too.

No, the opposite is the case.

chybaz:
I'm grateful. . what in case of someone who was recently refused a u.s visit visa, applied before the Canada admission came out and I didn't even put my mind in the u.s again. Just went to u s embassy for going sake. Will refusal affect my chances.

Did you declare the refusal in your Canadian study visa application?

geek:
Huh? It was my acknowledgment that mine was an interpretation and I'm not going gung ho into it like others do on this forum.

Ok i get that.

geek:
It's an interpretation - and I'm not attacking you Justwise.

Section 1 of the document covers all documents you must attach to all applications.
Section 2 covers extra documents that you can use to support a visit visa.
Section 3 covers specific documents for specific visa types.
Section 4 (where this is) is actually separate from Transit Visa (which is the last section of Section 3) and covers the documents that you should not send. There isn't any language in Section 4 to suggest the section excludes the Standard visitor visa.

Utility and council tax bills are specifically mentioned in section 4.

How did that come about?

geek:
Doesn't seem so, Justwise:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/549692/Visitor_Supporting_Documents_Guide_-_English_version.pdf

Can you point out specifically where it says one should not submit utility bills and council tax documents under visiting visa application?
