Good day house. Pls I need your suggestions. My boss who has been to the Uk severally, with 6months visa,2years visa, 5years and she renewed her visa in august with 10yrs visa. She,her husband and her son all got their 10yrs visa. After 2wks her husband got a mail that his visa have been revoked cos of issues with his statement of account. My boss didn't get a mail for her's and her son. She is confused if to travel with the visa,she doesn't know if her husband's issue affected hers too. Pls is there a number she can call to ask if her visa is active?

If her visa was revoked, she will be notified.

Is this the only reason why the visa was revoked? Had he overstayed in the UK before? Is the account statement fake? Saying issues is quite vague though

pufframmy:
do u know if other airline will ask?

Ideally they shouldn't unless the transit country requires all transiting passengers to have one.

No need to do a pre-departure COVID-19 test if fully vaccinated. I used Air France just have your vaccination card. Restaurants I have been in so far also requested proof of vaccination for in person dinning.

Tourist.

Good morning house, if someone has a two years UK visa and will like to travel to the UK in December 2021 and also want to travel to France around Feb next year. For the UK visit, the person is intending spending two months in the UK and also travel to France. E.g will be traveling to the UK end of December and will stay in the UK from Jan and Feb ending, so he is intending to travel to France around Feb by train from the UK.

My question is if the person can apply for a France visa around December and state the traveling time in Feb next year, can they agree to give the person the visa for that Feb next year OR they will like the person to travel within the time the person applied?

My second question is how will the person book flight ticket since the first travel is to the UK first and from the UK take a train to France. how can one book a flight that can convince France visa officer? kindly advise, please.

Many thanks for your responses.

You can apply in Dec against Feb travel. Regarding flight just make a reservation for that time (Feb) no need to make your application complex.

Thanks Broda. I'm nt the trainer. Also, I've tried to build my account not like April when a huge amount jst deposited into my account witout narrration. My fear is that training plus holiday hope it will fly

I think it's best you apply as a tourist then in addition mention that you intend to attend a one-day training

Larryconcept:
Hello Gurus and Elders in d House, I applied for uk tourist visa April this year I was refused based on no evidence of funds However, I'm going for a one day training in london by dec this year plz! Whats the probability of getting the visa and what and what do I need. Kindly advise plz!!!

You want to fly to the UK for a one day training? Are you the trainer?

Given your context you might also indicate that you intend to take a holiday i.e in addition training. How has your financial circumstance changed since April?

ebonmic:

Nawa ooo, omo everything you search for online have a thread in Nairaland.... you guys are the real MVP.

I did my biometrics on the 27th of September.
I had 4 invitation letters from UK Department of Education, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) , UK-based Non-profit who will be covering the cost of my flight and accommodation and the 4th on from an Immigration Law firm in UK.

My travel reason is to attend COP26 which will take place in Glasgow so my visa fee was waved.

My fingers are now crossed as I await visa decision. But I'm starting to get scared seeing people complain of not receiving any response after the 15days waiting period.

You don't need that many invitation letters.

Why attach a letter from an immigration law firm? Is it related to COP26? The letter from UNFCCC should have been sufficient and also that of the NGO covering your cost since you are coming for COP.

Goodluck though...

HRprof:
I am using Airfrance Airline and someone said I do not need it since I'm fully vaccinated they person travelled last month with same airline, I need more confirmation, I am confused

Based on advisory from the French government you don't need a PCR test if you are fully vaccinated. I'm using Air France for trip soon but I will do the PCR test though as our people's head dey touch a time.

Juddy2018:
Please House is Nigeria's COVID-19 vaccine among those approved in the UK for travelers from amber list countries starting from October 4th for exemption. I only see astra-zeneca vaccine approved. No need of quarantine again please house confirm.

Please read the government advisory. Vaccination programme conducted in Nigeria isn't covered. As at now you will need to quarantine and pay for post arrival tests

ayorins:
How did you get your travel insurance? And do I need any documentation for being self employed since I haven’t registered my company but I have a good bank statement?
I’m planning to go for vacation next month too

I normally have a running travel insurance as I do an annual plan. You can check Allianz. I don't know if they require documentation of being self employed. You can call the embassy and ask.

Kemifaj:
Hello house, please I'm in a dilema and state of confusion right now and I need sound advise from experienced people here.

Me and my family supposed to travel two weeks ago but our covid 19 PCR test came out positive.

Though me and my spouse had malaria +1 and we are on malaria drugs and antibiotics given to us from hospital when we go for the test.
We have completed our Isolation and we have no symptoms whatsoever but when reading about retest online I came across a piece that said you can still test positive for covid 19 for up to 9 weeks even after recovery.

I want to go for another test this week and I'm scared.

For those that have gone through this kind of experience in the past, how did you do it?

Is there a kind of waiver for people who tested positive and recovered recently?

Is there another type of less sensitive covid test that is meant for people in this category and also acceptable by airline operators?

I look forward to your valuable advice.

You can't travel until you test negative! If you are still positive until your travel date the airline would gladly move your flight itinerary.

Don't endanger other passengers.

If in addition you do an antigen test some countries can allow you to skip quarantine.

Williegh:
Good evening ladies and gents. Please I want to know that is it possible for you to switch to priority visa after opting for standard?

Yes.

Ogamarte:
please how did you solve this?? I have the same issue and I’m confused as to what to do. Any idea on what to do pls

Have touched on this before. This happens when the DMC makes a decision (visa granted or refused) and the decision wasn't communicated.

Call UKVI, give them your details, they will contact the DMC on your behalf and you will get a response in less than 24hrs.

If the visa was granted someone from the commission will call you to bring back your passport. Goodluck

Mummywifey:
Hello everyone

Can I do a covid test in Abuja and fly from Lagos? I will be using Qatar airways .

Yeap

pufframmy:
must we ask from the airline or we can use government approved

Just use any NCDC approved centre.

Does airlines even have the power to dictate which tests centres they accept? Once the test centre is approved by the government of the country the test is conducted in, then it's acceptable.

Bimpei:
Is it necessary to have all the money for the trip in the account for 3months or they just needed to see that the account is a running account for 3months and the closing balance that is important?

Running account

rebless:
Good morning House

If one is opting for priority service i.e £220, am I suppose to pay before appointment or it acceptable to pay on the appointment day?

You can do any

kolladey:
Good morning! Please,where in Lagos can I do COVID-19 test (Government approved center). I am planning to do it a day to my travel date.Is it possible to get the result on that test day? How much is the test?
Looking forward to your kind responses.
Thanks.

Check the NCDC website for government approved centres in Lagos. If you give your sample in the morning you will most likely get the test result in the evening, at least that has been my experience. It's about 39k5

femside:

Hi femside, you can give more details here, your economic situation and reason for previous denial. I am sure other members of the forum will weigh in with suggestions on how to about your application.

ChampO:
Hi guys,

Please, I need your help on this.
I applied to join my spouse in the UK and the decision has been made, they gave me till next week Friday to bring my passport back (as I choose to keep my passport because I applied to Czech for student visa).
Presently, Czech is still holding my passport.
How do I go about this situation?
I need advise on this matter please.

Contact TLS and let them know you can't drop off your passport then and give a reason why. Do you have an estimated date for the return of your passport from the Czech embassy?

Ideally it shouldn't be a problem just let them know sha

phineas:
Such vitriol aimed at just one man (who is not a northerner) trying to do good for his country.

Emefiele is right on this one,and may God protect him

Did anyone notice the prices from the 3 locations are different? As opposed to a flat parrallel rate in all locations in the country, as was the former practice? the same flat everywhere and it changes morning afternoon and night,but the same in all locations.

That's the first win for emefiele on this one,I pray God gives him the strength and support he needs to hold on with this direction

This is not a good thing though it leads to information asymmetry which is not good for the market as different players will react to it differently and it could lead to artificial scarcity.
I'm not trying to argue in anyway but reading through this thread it's funny to see non-economists with no knowledge of sterilization etc come and throw opinions around as a fact.

Abokifx.com does speculation, yes! Does it affect currency valuations? Yes! Is the effect marginal? Most likely. Is that why naira is losing value so much? No.

We have a dollar liquidity issue. Too much naira is chasing the dollar. That's the problem. Short term solution is to increase the in flow of dollars which the CBN is trying to do with policies like get N5 for every $1 received and allow customers borrow naira against their $ dorm account.

What Abokifx.com gave us was a gold standard that stabilized the parallel market. It made it possible for one person in Enugu and another in Kano to buy and sell currencies at same rate. So there's no incentive for me to say I will not change in Imo because the rates are higher in Lagos.

Bimpei:
Please I need assistance with some info; I want to apply for Canada tourism visa against December. I am studying in UK presently, what are the requirements and how many months proof of fund. Thank you

When I applied a few years ago, I used 3 months account statement and the closing balance wasn't much - less than 2k pounds. Just have proof of student status from your school though, attach BRP and do your biometrics. I do not think they asked for any other document.

Gentlesoul3268:
I think is not the total amount in the salary account you wanted to present? That question sound if you have other saving account


I am curious about this questions too when Im helping my sister to fill her form.

But Other incomes and savings are things like shares and bonds,money generated from properties,pensions,any other money received apart from your job.

Let other gurus share more light on this very question where they asked do you have other income or saving??

Thanks

So I just checked my previous application form and I think you might be right actually. Cause there's also a question on how much I had in savings and a question on the source of the other income. Looking at the question it's actually asking if you have any other income or savings. There's a section to enter how much you make from the other income in a year and another section to enter how much you have in savings.

Kenyangirl1:
I would also like some clarification regarding this. Is the 'other income or savings' the money that has been accumulating in one's current/salary account or money that is in a separate savings account? Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Amount in the account or the total amount in all the accounts she is presenting

HRprof:
Is important you book appointment where you fill in your application it might be an issue for you. Meanwhile ensure your jurisdiction before selecting location for your application. For instance you can not leave in Lagos using your Lagos address and apply to submit your visa application in Abuja. Abuja submission centre are mostly those living in the north

I made that mistake when I apply the 1st time coming from port Harcourt to Abuja centre and i was told that my jurisdiction is Lagos. I insists they collect it since I'm already there and they provided a paper for me to sign and accept the consequences before I submit my applications. Since then I have not use Abuja again.

I'm not sure this still applies. I live in Abuja, I applied in Lagos and had my passport delivered to me in Abuja.

Christabeliciou:
Hello house good afternoon all,

Please am using the booking.com to get a reservation of where I will stay. I got a Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room. These rooms have 8 beds. This is in South East London. Will ECO accept Hostel reservation/dormitory where you can also observe the 10days quarantine on your tourist vacation.

Please your opinion is welcomed.
Thanks

There is no law presently advising against that. that said the new rules are coming out today so you might want to wait a bit if you haven't submitted yet to see what the rules would mean for you.

Mummywifey:
I just got a call from TLS to submit my passport, I used keep my passport service, anyone knows how long it takes for it to get stamped and sent back for collection ?

Shouldn't take more than 48 hrs especially if you are doing pickup. As I know the actual stamping can be done in 30mins...
