Hello house,
After uploading documents on VFS website, how do you submit?
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nairae: 2:04pm On Nov 28, 2025
Please house, apart from VHF appointment letter, international passport, which other documents do you go with to do biometrics at VHF center Ikeja

Thank you
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nairae: 4:32pm On Nov 27, 2025
You are a life saver. Thanks a lot for responding.
What document is required for the biometrics? I know the applicants document would have been uploaded in VHF portal,does applicant need to photocopy all the documents they uploaded and take to the biometrics center?


giselle237:
In the UK the responsible adult is usually named on the child’s form as the person who would be accompanying the minor for their appointment. On all visa applications and biometrics in the UK for a UK visa application this is the norm. No other person can turn up with the kids except the person named as the responsible adult.
They also must bring a physical ID in. Accepted ones are international passport, drivers licence, residence permit cards.
For Nigeria, I note they are not strict.
However as an adult escorting minors in this age, carry a physical ID, letter of consent and biological parents ID copy.
You must also know the date of births of the children by heart as you are required to look at the camera and state this information during the biometrics.

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nairae:
My friend received a work visa notification email stating she's been granted a 4-year entry clearance to the UK, from March 15, 2025, to March 15, 2029

However, the vignette visa attached reads valid from March 15, 2025, to June 13, 2025 (about 90 days). What does this discrepancy mean?
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nairae: 6:47am On Feb 12, 2025
For minor
Copy of birth Certificate
Copy of àppointment letter
Copy of international passport data page

FOR ADULT
Copy of àppointment
Copy of passport data page
Letter of authority from adult

Someone can add to it
ImionsB:
Please what do I need for a 3rd party to pick up my passport from vfs.

It is the same appointment letter I used for biometrics I am suppose to give to the 3rd party? because they requested for an appointment letter.
I already know about the consent letter, a copy of my passport data page and the representative providing his international passport.
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nairae: 4:42pm On Feb 11, 2025
When applying for a visa for two dependents, what is the recommended approach regarding the Statement of Account and payment of the health surcharge and visa fee?

Should you:

1. Download the Statement of Account before paying the health surcharge and visa fee?
OR
2. Pay the health surcharge and visa fee first, and then download the Statement of Account to reflect the updated balance after payment?
OR
3. Since I am applying for two depenfants separately, Pay the charges and fee for dependant 1 them download statement of account. Then pay for DEPENDANT 2 FEES then print statement of account
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nairae: 5:21am On Feb 03, 2025
Thanks everyone..

On VSF Global,
1. are you required to UPLOAD visa page that is on your new passport and old passport?

2. Are you required to print the visa page to submit on biometric and àppointment day?

3 Are you required to go with the OLD passport that has visa?

4. Are you required to bring printed passport photograph?



CornOak:
1. You will book the Biometrics first before you can self upload any documents. Regardless, you're not paying a dime unless you wish to pay for the courier return.

2. No, if you successfully completed the upload online. The only document required for your biometrics are – your appointment letter, a photocopy of your passport data page, and your original passport.

3. No, VFS won't accept it as it's not needed. You can upload it as part of your documents, however, it's not necessary.

Good luck.

Good day house. On VSF, if you self upload which is free, then proceed to submit after uploading, will you pay any fees to attend the biometric

Are you suppose to go with photocopies or originals of uploaded documents?


My third question is about the checklist. Am I suppose to take it to VSF or upload it.
TravelRe: Updates On The New Nigeria Police Clearance Certificate by Nairae: 10:58pm On Jan 31, 2025
Good day house. I need some clarification.
At the stage of uploading document to VSF portal following the CHECKLIST how do you upload the document to match the checklist? or do you upload everything and leave it for them to sort out?

About VSF application fee. Is NGN 155343.00 the standard amount without needing special assistance?

You guys are live savers. Keep it up.

A family friend needs guidance with a long-stay visa application. She must pay the health surcharge and complete a tuberculosis (TB) test.

What are the correct steps to follow for the visa application? Should she pay the health surcharge first, then complete the TB test, followed by the visa fee, and finally book an appointment with VFS?

Additionally, she is applying with her daughter. How can she schedule appointments for both herself and her daughter on the same day? Please provide a detailed breakdown of the process.

PLEASE break down the steps. thank you in advance
