@justwise, ekpotek and other Gurus in the house
The question, Total amount of money that you get in a year :
Is it only the "other regular income" am to consider or I should include my main salary income to total?
Thanks. Will be waiting for a prompt response.

I think this is from other income as you had already answered how much you earn and expenses. I think ohh!!!

ekpotek:

Yes, in the new online application website. You will need to use a different email address for each application. However, the old online application website allows the use of a single email address for multiple applications.

thanks. Had already completed mine on the new site. Guess they now need email addresses sooner than rather later.

Good day,

Help!!! On the online application form. How do I apply for my children? Do I need to create several email addresses for them? Have seen where I can do group appointment but not where I can use the same email address.

Thanks

Rough estimate of 600k upward.Depending on the quality of services rendered.Its also possible you get all for 500k or less(including venue).Quality of services rendered will determine what will be spent.If u r using chavari chair(350-400per one) u can't compare it to OK plastic chairs(500 per dozen)..Photography(do u want soft copy alone?If u want a photobk,synthetic or Normal one?all these shd be considered,The Kind of decor where a chavari chair is used will be far diff frm the OK plast decor.

I need a rough idea of how much things costs. Average things we are no bankers nor work in oil and gas:-)

Thanks in advance

@Sagamite you are right here in Nigeria u hardly hear of any news of child death or injuries due to lack of seat beats and car seats because no one keeps track of these statistics.

"As far as I am concerned this is one of those over-do by Oyinbo in their wish to create a risk-free society." well what is better making sure your child is safe but having to pay thousands or lose the child altogether. Presentation is certainly better than cure.

What pisses me the most is you see father n mother in front with seat beats gisting away whilst their children are standing either in between their seats or on the seat at the back. N the driver doing macgyver driving. Ignorance is bliss I tell u.

Used the forum to plan our trip and it was easy. My hubby was shocked about how much I knew so much about Paris. And no need for taxis use the metro and the buses. First few days use buses and u can buy a carnet will give u ten tickets that u can use each for about 3 hours on buses.

Also you can give your kids assignments if they are in teens or even younger to plan each day on what they want to do etc and they will enjoy being your guide for a particular day.

Do Day trips out of Paris and Paris walks.

Get tickets online for the effiel tower to avoid the long ques. Avoid hotel breakfast if you can even if money is not issue you will get fresher and more variety in the bakeries and brasserie. Personally I love 5 star hotels but next time will do apartments especially with kids.

And make sure your ATM card is chip and 4 digit pin

Beware of scammers just shake your head and move on.

good day,

anyone with an idea how long the visa verification stage is? is there another stage afterwards. applied on 12/9/2011. feedback is its at the verification stage. was hoping it would be a breeze like the schegen one applied for first entry france and true to their word 10days it was out. Thought the UK one would be faster thou coz wen we submitted @lekkie no que at all got there around 930am.

has anyone ever requested for their passport back? whats the procedure and how long will it take?


thanks

We will retain your passport until we have made a decision on your visa application. You should remember this when you make your travel arrangements, particularly if you plan to visit other countries before going to the UK.

If you need to collect your passport before a visa decision has been made, your visa application will be withdrawn. Please note that the visa fee is non-refundable, and if you would like to reapply for a visa you will need to lodge another application, submit your biometric data, and pay the visa fee once again.

was actually happy that i can get my passport back and use it whilst they are taking their sweet dear time. knew could retrieve the passport if i needed it. only saw that whilst trying to get the link guess had over looked the application would be withdrawn.:-(

@tee-jay na wa oh for you

my cheapo was referring to having to haul bags from one train or bus the other so that i don't spend money on a taxi.  the 10 or 20pounds i can save there can use it somewhere else. that was the whole point of posting my question.

@martinosi
thanks hey especially for the shopping malls etc.

about where to stay i was just wondering about where other Nigerians who travel and not stay with relatives which areas within London they stay and how much they pay for the accommodation. Which i know depends on individual taste and comfort level, Just need to know what is the norm out there.

thanks hey

meant drive here in lagos, get out of your house into the car and go whereever without having to walk to the nearest busstop or worry about how you will manage to carry two or three heavy bags.

on the trolley as long as they are there fine. will probably do taxi from hotel to paddington and get onto the heathrow express. im trying to be cheap and not suffer at the same time and still be within my budget.

Hi all

Which area to stay in London for shopping and ease of transportation? Like most people I drive everywhere within Lagos and the thought of dragging bags and bags from one train,tube or the other is really a put off and taxi fares seem to be really on the high side. I'm not looking for high end shopping but just regular shops like next etc.

How much are you willing to pay for hotel accommodation? And where do you stay when you are visiting London on a tourist visa?

Are there trolleys for luggages at the stations like at airports.

Thanks in advance

Hello house
Please help? We want to apply for tourist visa. I do have a number of questions. I have read nearly every page of this topic some of my questions have been answered. N thank you to all for your contributions n patience.

How much on average would one spend on hotel accommodation so that the ECO dont raise questions or eyebrows. Like what percentage of your income or Savings. Spending ten days in london

Can I book at budget hotel n then once I get visa book at a more expensive one? Do they check or confirm which hotel

Is it better in terms of logistics n sightseeing to be within central London unlike staying out of London and having to commute 30 plus minutes to get into London. 

We would rather book a holiday apartment, think they are more flexible n not to mention cheaper than hotels, would the ECO frawn upon that.

Our itinerary is just in London Hoping to visit other cities on other visits without packing everything in one trip. Is this ok for a tourist visa?

Thank you
