Ashirioluwa:
You can get in touch with them and voice your concerns if you are certain that the anticipated travel date you specified on your application is earlier than the start date of your visa.

November 1st is few days away from today .

You can use this link to contact them

https://ukvi.mysecurepay.co.uk/Home

Or

You can walk to TLScontact office to let them know.

I know Tlscontact team will be of help if you visit their office to let them know your situation.

please I have submitted my application and done biometrics

I have just noted that the bank statement I submitted was incomplete

Please how can I resubmit a new bank statement and a cover letter explaining the situation

I tried to upload via the TLS portal, but there is no place for that

Please help !

I will really appreciate your advice
@ashirioluwa @giselle237 @cashmadam.

davodyguy:
I already answered this and it's yes.

There's a separate link to upload before appointment.

Then on the appointment page, follow the advice I gave above

I’m unable to proceed to checkout

Goodiegirl:
How did you upload your docs without choosing a date?

there is a link on the TLS website to do that

https://selfupload.visas-uk.tlscontact.com/

naivasha:
Appointment-assisted service sounds a bit vague. What exactly does the N32,000 provide please?

if I have already uploaded my documents on the TLS website

Can I still select assisted service and pay 32k

ammierie:
No ooo

regular ? Priority? or super priority?

ammierie:
Nope

did you pay anything when you arrived at the TLS center

2 free appointment dates available in VI
3 free dates available in Ikeja

One available in Abuja

Rush now !

ammierie:
Self upload

so you didn’t even pay 1 naira

Three free dates available at Ikeja TLS
Go and book now!

ammierie:
Didn’t have to do anything oo… I just checked very early in the morning, and I got for next Friday

wow. Did you select assisted service or self upload?

ammierie:
I got it for free this morning

please tell me what you did please

How did you do it?

mulberry:
Please how did you cancel the application as i also made the mistake of picking TLS VI and i cannot pay the 75ponds plus prime time they are asking for.

I thought VI TLS is 55 pounds

So it is now 75 pounds ?

ammierie:
I’m also having this issue… have you been able to solve yours?

Hey sis, have you been able to get a cheaper appointment date ?

How much did you pay ?

Can anyone tell me how I can get a cheaper appointment date for biometrics

I don’t have 100k or 82k to pay
As I’m doing self service

Any tips to get a cheaper date ?

Hey fam,

I submitted my application on 7th October 2024

I’m using a 6 month statement of April-September

I want to book a biometrics appointment in November

Will this be too late ?

I’m not so keen on traveling early, so November for biometrics is totally okay for me and decision by end of December is perfectly okay

Hope my bank statement would still be valid for this timeframe or will the ECO wish to also see my October statement

fasttrack:
Naaa. You can select assisted service, however you aren't required to make payment. Just read thru the different options

Please can you explain better

Can I select assisted service and still upload my documents by myself online ?

I prefer doing that

Also, would I still need to book an appointment date after selecting assisted service?

Samsey1:
You have to pick one of those premium services. That's the way out

the cheapest premium service on the TLSCONTACT is 82k

The rest are 100k etc

This is a rip off !

carnivorouschic:
When you open your tls login page, open a new tab beside the existing tab and paste this link below and you should be able to upload your documents.
https://selfupload.visas-uk.tlscontact.com/

But I’ll also need to book an appointment for biometrics and I’m trying to do that but the system is showing me premium services

naivasha:
For self-service there is no charge.

all the appointment dates I’m seeing are premium dates (Prime time, flexi, premium lounge, super priority visa) etc

There is no free date available
Please what do I do ?

Please how much is the service charge for self service upload of documents at Ikeja TLS

I’m not interested value added services like Prime Time
Flexi
Premium lounge
Etc

Please guys, how much is Ikeja TLS fee

I’m doing the self service

I just submitted my visa application
This is a renewal
I have also paid, so I can’t edit the form again

I just noticed that the address I filled on my application form and the address on my bank statement differs

I moved into a new apartment last month, so I filled that address on my form

But my bank account still carries my former address

Would this pose a problem?

Would a cover letter explaining the situation solve this or I should go to the bank and update my address and reprint my account statement (long process and extra costs 😢)

emmasoft:
It's automatically, since his e-account number was used as narration, it will reflect today.

Please note that any deposit made after noon will have value and reflect the next business day. Check the account by the close of business today; it will be reflected. Before then, he will get an email to indicate his subscription.

MMF is a well-structured investment and very safe—no need to be afraid or panic. Your uncle's money is in safe hands.

Hello sir, so the money has reflected in his stanbic money market account but no email confirmation of subscription was sent though

Also, when would the interest payments start coming in?

Hello sir Emmasoft, my uncle transferred some money to the account around 5PM yesterday. How long will it be posted ? Will he have to call them ? Or it’s automatically done

He sure put his e-account number on the Narration/Remarks/Reference

Obinnau:
Thak you for the wishes.

Since the interest is Money market mutual fund (100% in Money Market instruments such as Treasury bills, commercial papers),

He should initiate a deposit to the first UBA account details titled UBA Nom First Trustees Stanbic IBTC
Money Market Fund (the first account)

Hello sir, my uncle transferred some money to the account around 5PM yesterday. How long will it be posted ? Will he have to call them ? Or it’s automatically done

He sure put his e-account number on the Narration/Remarks/Reference

Hello sir Obinnau

Happy birthday sir. I wish you long life and prosperity

Please which of the accounts is my uncle supposed to make deposit to

Please advise

emmasoft:
Please note MMF duration is determined by d investor. No specific tenors is set out by the fund managers. MMF is not like Tbills that has specific tenors.
You stay as long as you wish. Now that he's signed up, he can leave any time after 30 days without any penalties.

I will advice check up the last 5 pages before the current page on this thread, I have given answers to similar questions like this.

You can also reach out to me with the phone numbers on my signature.

Hello sir, please which of these accounts should my uncle pay to

He has successfully signed up and they sent this in the email with his e-account number

bfn1:
Lols! This week, FBNQuest’s MMF returned 23% average.
To buttress the contributions earlier made by Obinnau and emmasoft, the 21.5% return on Stanbic's MMF is due to the performance of its underlying securities.
MMFs are investment schemes set up to pool funds from investors (from individuals like your uncle and corporate entities) to invest in low-risk, short-term assets like Treasury bills and commercial papers.


Omoh! You no rate the Nigerian investment community o!
This thread alone has over 1 million views and 10k+ comments to show you the robust engagements going on here.
Even FBNQuest MMF (only MMF o!) has over ₦234 billion Asset Under Management (AUM) yet it is not the largest player in the Nigerian mutual funds space.


1. It is fully regulated by SEC.
2. The instruments being invested in are low risk.
3. Your principal investment cannot be eroded.
4. There are laws to ensure that MMF management functions are segmented to maintain proper checks and balances.

Thank you very much for this detailed informations and analysis

I am now reassured that my Uncle is going into the right investment

Please, should he just do FBN Quest which is 23%
Instead of Stanbic IBTC that is 21.5%

Thank you sir

please what’s the catch

This MMF investment seems too good to be true

21.5% per annum

How come everyone in Nigeria is not doing it ??

Please sir, what are the risks involved

emmasoft:
Don't worry about the amount to be withdrawn, You can redeem any amount using the redemption form. If he decides to liquidate both the capital and interest, complete the redemption form and send it to customer care your request will be actioned as requested irrespective of the amount involved.

please my uncle just signed up for mmf, but he didn’t see where to chose the investment duration
28 days, 6 months, 1 year etc

Please advise

@Emmasoft,

Sir, please why can one only withdraw 5M per day when they are ready to liquidate their funds from Stanbic Money Market

Obinnau:
No, he will only be charged 20% of his earned interests if he decides to withdraw before 30 days. after 30 days, no issues. the only downside is that he may be limited to withdrawing 5 million per day (not so sure)

That means if he invests this 250M for 6 months, it will take close to 60 days to withdraw his capital and interests

This is too slow nau
