Hello greeting boss

Pls confirm if I need a transit visa for this flight itenary

Ethiopian airline , from Lagos - Addisabba- Frankfurt- Glasgow.

If it need a transit visa how can I get it asap ?

You need a schengen transit visa. Frankfut is in Germany and they are under the schengen union

Newbiein2016:
Stop promoting nonsense.

See one way prices from Abuja to London from Qatar's website in late September (all below your 1mill announcement) and there are even more options e.g Egypt Air was $590 for 25th or 27th Sep travel.

And yes, to disprove you I booked on hold (on Qatar) and it went through. You don't need to visit their office to make payment.

Promote your ticket sales without fearmongering.

Don’t be a dumb, I am saying from my experience, card payments doesn’t go through and I had to go to their office. Paid higher because of the exchange rate

[quote author=Ekababbe post=125139763][/quote]Book it online and see if it goes through. I have checked all of them. If you go to Qatar airway’s office in lagos, you will pay more than that.

Nanorest:
It's not. It depends on where you are looking

Believe me, no airline now from Lagos or abuja going to anywhere in the UK that is less than 1m from now till September 29th. Except schengen European airlines that requires transit visas to pass through

milliki:
Hello everyone. Please I have some questions.

1. I initiated payment for IHS on Wednesday but my payment was declined and account debited. How long do I have to wait for refund?

2. Do I need a transit visa if layover is in Doha Qatar?

Please help me answer these questions. Thank you ooo

You don’t need a transit visa to transit through Doha using Qatar Airways

Nanorest:
If Ur budget is low, book for September ending

Even September ending is 1m and above

I got a refusal mail last night.

Standard Visitor visa for 11 days.

I did my biometrics on the 18th of July and I got this refusal mail yesterday.

Gurus in the house over to you.

I am surprised that they even send refusal email on a weekend, that is shocking. Sorry brother. From what I read here, they feel you should be able to fund your travel without a 3rd party. Sometimes I don’t understand this how these visa officers analyze applications. Still waiting for a response on my application. Bio was 18th July as well

ripo:
Bio on 17th of July. Got a mail for additional response on the 1st of August. Any idea about how long they respond after such mails?

Potential approval dey your side, my bio was 18th July, no email nothing, still in DMC.
You suppose hear from them in a week max

How far guys, those that did bio from 12th - 15th July, tracking your application? Any news?

just chill, make sure to track your application, you’ll definitely get a decision this week or latest mon tue next week

Socretes2:

mosesadio:

mosesadio:
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Is there anyone here who did biometrics for UK standard visitor visa since 10th of July but hasn’t got a decision yet?

i did my bio same day tue, got the same email. Lets keep in touch. Hopefully we both get it. Bless

icagbons:
Hello Gurus in the house.
I went for my document submission and biometric two days ago (Tuesday) and this email came in today.
I applied for a visiting visa of 11 days. I hope the whole process

You have to look at the itinerary before booking, which country are you traveling to?, sorry for the late response

BRAINNY:
Turkish airlines, Ethiopian airlines, Egypt Air, Royal air maroc, Kenya airways, Rwandair; I avoided Turkey cos I felt it is Europe and had to pay more. Please, what if any of these Arilines transit through any of the countries requiring a schengen visa?

Longjonjoe:
So you need a uk transit visa or any uk visa at all on your passport if not, you can’t transit through london to the european country your are headed

You don’t pay 40k for uk transit visa without submitting documents at TLS

directonpc:
You've only successful shown that you got what I said out of context. I'm traveling to an EU country via BA

So you need a uk transit visa or any uk visa at all on your passport if not, you can’t transit through london to the european country your are headed

directonpc:
Oh well, finally managed to book a date. Had to pay extra 40k sha. On top transit visa oo
Na me make mistake book BA sha.

The agent or whoever told you to pay transit visa just got free money. I am a travel agent. Traveling with any European airline to the UK eg Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, Alitalia will require you to present a any schengen transit visa you have on your transit stop with the airline if not you will be sent back. You dont pay 40k to an agent for transit visa. You apply for it(schengen visa) at the embassy of the airline hub eg applying for a france transit visa and at the french embassy or at VAC because you are using Air france to travel to the UK. Same paper work but takes a short time to process. Please be careful out there. BA does not require a transit visa because it is a direct flight. Turkish airlines, Ethiopian airlines, Egypt Air, Royal air maroc, Kenya airways, Rwandair. All these airlines do not require any transit visa when transiting through their country to the UK. I hope with this, I have stopped someone somewhere from making a mistake

giselle237:
company account funds is for the business and not for your vacation sir.
Like I said, there’s nothing we should be saying to you as it’s late. Goodluck once again

I had 5.5m in the company account and transferred 3.5m to personal accounts for the quick trip. Which i mentioned on the application. Obviously I won’t use it all. I have noted all you said. Thank you for responding

giselle237:
okay but u said ur company account balance is 2m and ur savings account balance is 3.6m.. and ur budget is 3.6m
What we are saying is that you can’t clear out your account balance to go for a 7 days trip… what would you feed on when you come back? it might have happened for your friends but scenarios are different etc .. all the best for now.

Thank you for the response, i am the sole signatory of both accounts and my tax is a PAYE tax, i dont pay any staff, i pay only myself. So the company account funds is also on my reach. I appreciate your response

Longjonjoe:
I was advised to put that amount as two people from my church put similar amounts around 3m - 3.5m to spend 7 days in london.
Thank you brother

And they got their 6months visas

thelma76:
Honestly, that budget is a lot. I hope you have a bank closing balance that’s at least 4x that amount. I think next time draw your budget without flights especially if that’s what inflated the total like this. Goodluck

Flight to and fro inflated it to that amount. Thanks for the advice. Fingers crossed

ijeshaoflondon:
3.6m is damn too much ... kilode... You had better Cancel the application and forego the application fee.. then reapply with a better budget...

Let me see the outcome first. Surprises do happen in this visa applications, we both know

geolan:
3.6m for a 7 days trip is definitely too much. Even too much for a 14 days trip. Whichever ways, I wish you goodluck and God’s favor in your application.

I was advised to put that amount as two people from my church put similar amounts around 3m - 3.5m to spend 7 days in london.
Thank you brother

giselle237:
3.6m as budget for 7 days.. pls how much do you earn monthly? This is too much. U want to clear out all ur money in just 1 week? 7200 pounds for 1 week. I am afraid oo. As you have done biometrics ALREADY.. there’s no advice to give as it is late. Wait for the outcome. Good chances if your income is at least twice this amount +/- acceptable travel history

Thanks for the response. I really appreciate. Definitely i wont spend all of it even UKVI knows, it covers majorly flight to and fro, hotel for 7 days and some flex like live football match and other tours. Hopefully the visa comes through. But what would have been the advice please so i can heed to it just in case
