Guyman02:
Very idiotic western paid propagandist calling herself a journalist. She was partisan in asking him to step down and embrace democracy, there was nothing journalistic about her conduct and should be banned from official presidential engagements in order not to embarrass the country further.

What she deserves is promotion rather

bigfido:
one more thing @justwise, do i state that the company is paying for my trip since the money to pay is coming from that account?

Surely if this is business trip then the spending money will be coming from the company's account

Chai!! this man is coming for us oo!!

@ffo

I'm so jealous right now, this is in my bucket list. I really want to do this though not visiting a single country but many within 30days.

Nice thread though.

bigfido:
i think so
1) was supposed to go and inspect some goods for the coy i was working for, naive me didn't put invitation letter into the application nor did i ask for it from the comapny. My boss went afterwards
2) no family or economic tires
3) i deposited some money in my account a week before applying that i didn't explain what it was for
4) explained what the money was for with additional support document but VO wasn't satisfied

As long as you acknowledged each refusal in your previous applications then you will be fine.

bigfido:
hello @justwise
i am new on this thread and i think you might have to indulge me a little to anwer my numerous questions
i am planning to re-apply for yet another uk visa. before i go any further, i have been refused 4 times. twice before i got married and twice after i got married which was a family vacation application. A lot has changed between the last refusal (April, 2013) and now. I had not travelled out of Africa whilst applying for the previous application but since then, i have gone to the UAE like 4 times and I have been to the US twice. In fact, i have a valid US visa with every member of my family. I also now run my own registered business with a registered bank account, VAT remittance and tax clearance certificate for the company. Here are my questions
1) i don't pay my self a salary since it is my company. i get money from the company account based on how much jobs i get done at any particular time. But there is a steady flow of money from my company account into my personal account. how do i rate what my monthly income is in the form? it's not a given monthly rate at all
2) I am going to the us for a software training course in July and intend to go to the uk from there for vacation. do i need to state this in my application as this has increased the amount i am to pay for air travel greatly.
3) do i move the money for the purpose of the trip to my personal account from the company account and then state it in my application that i moved the money from there since i will be paying for the trip or do i leave it there and claim someone else (my company) is paying for the trip?
4) what documents am i supposed to add to this application? should it include documents for my travel purpose to the US since i plan to come into the uk from there?
5) i just don't know how to construct this application. i just got a new passport and i was delighted to get rid of the last one due to various stamps from the uk embassy. i will be very furious if i get denied on this passport again. so far, i have had several travel stamps on it and not visa denial stamps.
kindly advise me on how to put this application together

1. Not paying yourself a salary is not a problem as long as you pay tax and have certificate to show for that and have savings account separate from the company's account.

2. Stating that will help your application.

3. Don't move money around now present both accounts as they are.

4. Yes add those documents and explain the reason.

5. Getting a new passport does not mean that your previous refusals will not be considered, you still have to disclose every single one of them else its 10yrs ban.

brownlord:
Oh, the same hypocrites that want him out at all cost are Saudi's closest ally.

Between Obama was the first to go shout "long live the king" to the new Saudi king.

Is democracy only for Africans?

You did not answer my question rather you went on ranting on about something completely irrelevant

Henry120:
Yes, it is all about land re-distribution, as much as it is about sanctions. We just cannot exclude them.

By 1994 when he was still very much a darling of the west and a knight of the british empire, he had already spent 14 years in power. Why wasn't their a demonisation of mugabe then, I mean by the standards of most countries he had done the maximum 8 years, or 10 in the Southern-Africa region, so he should have left power.


There might have been many cases of intimidation in Zimbabwe, however the fact is, the Zanu-PF still enjoys sweeping support in Zimbabwe, same as mugabe.



* P.S, I don't support mugabe or his actions.

Many Zimbabweans vote for Mugabe for the fear of their own lives because voting for MDC is a life threatening mistake especially in rural areas where green boys and Zanu PF thugs run riot.

The opposition party members are hunted like wild animals, they spend more time in detentions especially during election than outside.

At some point there is no single newspaper allowed to publish anything contrary to herald(govt mouth peace)

Only one national television Ztv which is controlled by the govt and the opposition are not allowed to air their campaign or appear for any debate.

You know jack about Zimbabwe and Mugabe.

slimmy05:
Are you saying elections do not take place in Zimbabwe? Why haven't his people thrown him out?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_general_election,_2013

Violence, intimidation, harassment and rigging toke place.

Why haven't his people thrown him out? The same reason Iraqi or Libyans could not throw Saddam or Gaddafi out for many years

kopite:
This is exact tactics on how Sahara reporters bully their propaganda through the innocent mind of the Nigerian populace. No respect whatsoever all in the name of journalism?? Junkie journalism seeking relevance. Am not surprised.

Respect is earned, Mugabe doesn't deserve one.

brownlord:
They should go interview him in Zimbabwe.

I'm sure you worship the king of Saudi arabia likewise morocco, maybe the Saudi's don't deserve democracy

Now I see why you support that scum. So Zimbabwe and those countries practice the same system of government?

brownlord:
Good for you, that was a very poor and disgraceful outing.

Spit on sowore or whatever his useless name is

I will give them medal. Every dictator deserve that sort of treatment if not worse.

Henry120:
Can we also agree that Sanctions on Zimbabwe, as a direct consequence of land distribution from the minority white population to the majority black population in Zimbabwe has had much more damage on the country than Robert mugabe's alleged intimidation of the press and opposition?


We know how sensitive the British are about Rhodesia and the Republic of South-Africa.

This is not about sanctions or land distribution, this is about a man that refuses to leave office since 1980, he is in his 90s now and still in power by all means including killings and jailing anybody who dare to challenge him.

brownlord:
So the journalist are suppose to embarrass him because he hates/criticism Nigeria? Where is the professionalism?

This is disgraceful

He deserves no respect from anybody. I'm so happy that he was treated that way.

Henry120:
Bruv, let's look at this equitably, didn't Mugabe win an election same way as Angela Merkel?

Is he breaking the law of zimbabwe?

There is no free and fair election in Zimbabwe, the opposition got no freedom to campaign. National television and newspapers will never ever cover an opposition campaigns or positive news.

It's about intimidation and harassment

Credit to those reporters. Job well done!!!

kindly advise me on how to put this application together

Can you remember why you were refused in those 4 occasions?

zoomzu:
Dear Justwise,

Many thanks for your audience. Hope I have not been asking too much? Just for confirmation.

1. All is set to fill the form, Visa letter from the conveiner of conference is at hand now, they initially told us it would take up to 10 days to process it but release in a day.

2. The hotel has also sent receipt for our accommodation (All expenses paid by our employer)
3. Just to be sure, do I need to explain the last 3 deposits in my salary account which amounted to my account balance? (i) My May Salary. (ii) online transfer for the payment of phone sold to someone (55k) which was stated (iii) Transfer of almost 300k from my boss showing his name as appears in most of the document we will be submitting. The money is the refund of accumulated out of pocket expenses on his personal errands.

4. I have another savings account with the balance of almost 200k but has history of large inflow and outflow of cash in the last six months I.e 600k, 1m, 400k just coming in and going out for personal PP.

4. How do I explain or put all this together in my application.

5. My salary is 116k. The trip is all expenses paid by our employer with DTA of 250USD per day.
The event is event is 5 days and was stated in the visa letter sent to us by the organizer and 5 days hotel room paid but we want to stay 2 more days to explore the city. How do we put this in the online form ( entry date and exit date)


Thank you so much.

Yes when you have money other than your salary paid into your salary account you need to give brief explanation about the source of that money.

Sure you are allowed to spend extra days exploring the city after the actual program, staying extra 2 days is not a problem and you don't necessarily need to state this in the form.
Remember that you people may be called for an interview so it's important that the group give the same answer about the trip.

You don't need to add any other account apart from your salary account.

JeuelStar:
. Please, one thing I want to know again is this... I don't really know how to go about this so please I need your humble advise....I have gotten admission into a school in Canada and this program starts in September this year..it is a 2 years program. This my friend who is a Canadian is going to pay all my school fees. The question here is, I am suppose to get ready and apply for my student permit or student visa here in Nigeria. But the problem lies on me not able to get bank account or statement of acoount which probably certain funds should be inside but I have nothing precisely. Like I said earlier that I have my international passport valid and have little travel history...(Like been 6yrs in Malaysia and have gone to China) though it nothing but just mentined it whether it will help sorry. So please, what should I do... I have someone over there that can pay my fees but how do I manage or do to acquire this student visa being that I have nothing to show (asset). I am very very worried because this is like platter of gold saying someone paying my fees....Please help...thanks.

You have more than enough information here as to list of documents to submit. A lot of people have listed them here over and over again.

Whenever am bored I come to this forum and read pages I have missed. Thanks everyone for helping me one way or the other. Had a bouncing baby boy in April. Mum and baby doing good.
In this forum, I always remember 4 names
1. Phema: gives answers and helps everyone in any little way she can.(often wish I could put a face to her name)
2. Justwise: Mr administrator
3. TVegas: the man everyone praises for been in touch with birthing and babies. Helps in any way he can.
4: nefertitiram: the lady who answers everyone(advice and quarrel alike) .. For every quarrel in this forum she contributes. Doubt if na pregnancy hormones.

Congratulations!

Preciousstones:
Lol yea that's why I want to see it first especially the smaller ones.the ones 'm interested in,did not really use pictures just used measurements of the room.just that its walking distance to school.I don't want train or bus.I will just end up not going to school,I can enter bus to see relatives and friends

Those smaller rooms are single bedrooms, very very tiny room, if you are an average sized woman than you are in trouble. no space apart from your little reading table and wall drop

omusiliyu:
Then truly... I now believe that GEJ is the man behind the deadly millitant.

How exactly?

Preciousstones:
Yea lol student accommodation are always that.But its better for me.I have seen nice once sha cheap and expensive ones.the cheap ones are quiet small

lol..don't say that until you see it live...no school will ever use old room picture to market their accommodations...they always look for those pictures taken when the accommodation was new...lol

Preciousstones:
Okay,I was thinking of inspecting the room before paying.

Which is better, deposit is just for reservation, some student accommodation is shit anyway so its important that you see it before paying else you ask for refund.

ashboyd44:
I am studying in the UK and i will be moving back to Nigerian in a year . I like to know what's new and how different the place have changed? Please do tell the good and bad? the head up will be nice. Life style changes and moving back to Nigerian

How long have you been away?

Preciousstones:
Please can someone pay for a one year accommodation?Cuz I will be staying very close to school(walking distance).I don't know how they calcuate it.
...Please 'm not paying now just trying sort my fees and accommodation first.

Yes but not from Nigeria, you can make a deposit of maximum £1020 then finish the rest during your orientation in the UK.

JeuelStar:
I am a student now in a part-program and recently became unemployed but helps in managing the family business like provision store only plus the store doesn't have any account though...and me too don't have any account that has money or property either.

That leaves you with no strong tie to Nigeria, you can't get a visa relying solely on documents from your friend alone no matter how good they are. As an adult you need to show a strong tie to your home country to stand any chance with visiting visa.

You can get more info here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/apply-who.asp

JeuelStar:
Hi everyone, good to meet you here and am happy. Please, I have some things I need to know from you. By the grace of God, I will be applying for Canada visit visa by next month. A friend of mine who is a Canadian would send me his document which includes his account statement because I don't have any one to provide....please, on my own part, which other document do i need to provide before I apply for visa?I have my international passprt valid. Please help me to get prepare

JeuelStar:
Hi guys. It seems I am not welcome here, no body want to put me through in my post

Do you work, own a business or a student in Nigeria?

SkinnyDude:
10yrs! Didnt You Miss Ur Family, Especially Ur Mum?
I Cant Stay One Month In School Without Seeing My Mum

That is the most difficult aspect of it but when you live thousands of miles away as a self-sponsoring student going home is not something you do easily

blackcat1:
Wow £4000 for 2 weeks! I am in trouble. Thanks for the tip

That was why i said you can't really budget it based on what you read here because no two budges are the same, i came from a very big family hence the need to take as much stuff as i can.

Ugochux:
