As long as you leave before 05/03/2020.

You can even travel in February. They will only grant you entry for whatever time period is left on your visa. Also, be prepared to give more explanation at the POE.

Hello house,pls my visa will expire by March 5 2020, can I travel with it in January?

jesuisroya:
Good evening.

Please my sister is filling UK visa application form and she's applying for her husband and two kids.
Do they have to fill separate forms online?
THanks

jesuisroya:
GOOD EVENING SIR/Good evening all.

Please I need your advice.
My sister is presently applying for a UK visa for her, her husband and her two kids for like 10 days.
Date of travel from DECEMBER 26 to JANUARY 5, 2020.
Her and her husband have visited France last year for my Phd graduation.

The issue is this:
WHen they arrived FRANCE at Marseille Airport last year, they didn't hold a lot of cash with them but they had their nigerian ATM with them.
The immigration refused to allow them enter based on that and had them return to Nigeria.
They returned to Lagos and got the cash and returned back to France the next day and they entered without any problem.
THey returned to Nigeria after their stay.

It seems that the IMMIGRATION inscribed something on their passport during that entry refusal.
Do you think it would affect their UK application?

She has about €4000 euros in her account
She has About N3 MILLION in her account. He earns about N120K per month
Her husband has N4 million in his account. She earns about N200K per month
THey have been investing in treasury bills.
They have a landed property
FOR THE UK visa, they'll book a hotel.

WHat advice can you give please concerning the visa applicaton process?
My sister is trying to explain the situation on her visa application form online because she says there's an entry refusal stamp on her passport.

- How much should they declare as their budget for the ten days throughout the trip ?
- Any advice of a good itinerary plan apart from visiting

THANKS FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO READ AND ADVICE

Good Day All,

I'm asking on behalf of a friend. She has filled her application and have made payment and have already secured appointment for later this week.
The issue is that on the application where they asked '' residential address, how long you have lived there and if it's rented/owned/mortgaged'' she answered as follow....she rented the apartment, have stayed there for 2 years, but the issue now is that she can't find the tenancy agreement, she has called the agency but they are forming business.

If she couldn't get the tenancy agreement to upload before her appointment, will it be a show stopper? she works, earn 750,000 after tax, has a letter from her employer and so on. The proposed cost of her travel is 775,000 for 8 days.

[b]Please will the failure to upload the tenancy agreement jeopardize her chances of been granted a visa?[/b]Yes. Does she not have any evidence of payment?

MamaTripleJ:
Yeah i do that.
Will just keep both and give detailed explanations for huge funds.


Please do i need to take anything with me for the walkin appointment?

MamaTripleJ:
I will.
Should I just put my salary account only?
I added my personal account because I move funds from it to my salary account.
What would you advise.

MamaTripleJ:
Thanks so much. I will.
Reapplying today to do a workin appointment Tuesday.

Hello Nairaland fam

Just to say a big thank you for all your free consultancy services here. I applied for UK visa feb this year with my wife we were both rejected. I applied alone this October i was granted visa. My wife applied alone as soon as mine came out and Oh yeah !!! she was granted too.

Cant thank you guys enough you are simply the best.

MamaTripleJ:
Can we reapply immediately?

MamaTripleJ:
Good evening house.
Please i need your advise on this refusal letter.
We applied to go spend Christmas with a friend and she sent all her details and invite too.
I want to reapply again.

I started in my application that my husband is going to sponsor my child and I.
I also attached the invoice of the #400, 000 and #264 that entered my account.
The statements i submitted were salary (which shows salary payment) and personal.
The salary had a closing balance of #98. 00 and personal closing balance of #230, 000.

Please advise on what to do to reapply.

Ashirioluwa:
They said it is advisable to make sure your total spending is not more than your salary for 2 months.
Your budget of 850k is less than your 2 months salary but spending 850k for 5 days trip is on a high side.

Alkidam:
I earn a salar of 363k to be precise with commision of 83k every month, what do you think can be my living expenaes amd my disposable income sir? Also my wife is a business owner with cac documents. Our plan is i should sponsor my self and sh should sponsor herself and our kid. How viable is that sir? Also like how much do you think we both can book down seperately for the 1 week trip for christmas sir (imcluding tour plane hotel and the rest sir? And like what documents can we include sir?

skdfu747:
Specifically for B1/B2 visa the U.S embassy depends solely on the information an applicant provides in the D.S 160 form the next stage is to defend the application on the day of interview.
There is not background check especially for of B1/B2 visa.

Hello all,
I applied for UK visa last year for a training for work and I was granted visa. I traveled for the course and got back then traveled few months to the UK again on holidays before the VISA got expired. I was in Finland this same year for a short training, then got a Turkish visa as I traveled though Turkey. I have done 2 west African countries after I got back from Finland/Turkey.
Now I am applying for 2years UK VISA and I dont know if its a good idea.

kolajoo:
Please someone should come to my rescue. I applied through an agent and I submitted in Abuja on 4th October and received decision mail on 22nd. Till now, I haven’t get my passport back and my agent keeps telling me the passport is not ready yet but I don’t believed him anymore because he used his own email to booked my appointment and it difficult for me to track application my self. Please, is there anyway or anyhow I can know the status my self. I have the confirmation booking appointment with me.

Freelancer247:

Pls I need guidance. I wish to attend a conference by may/June next year being an employee in a reputed organisation. I'm married with a kid but will be traveling alone.
What are my chances? I'm also a first time traveler.
Is it okay to use my official email address during application?

Thanks in anticipation.

Vicas2000:
I am trying to upload documents (self service) and need clarification:

1. Do i put all my sponsors documentation under "sponsor evidence" e.g. my sponsors bank statement, mortgage document, sponsors british passport, sponsor council tax etc under the sponsor evidence category

2. There is another category labelled as financial evidence and not sure if this is for the applicants financial evidence only? i.e. the applicants bank statement, or should this financial evidence contain the sponsors bank statement too?

3. Also under what category should the cover letter be on?

Anyone can advise on this please?

Ashirioluwa:
My junior brother 6-month UK visa just expired. He got the visa in May this year and he used it once that same month. He was in UK for 5 night in May for vacation.

I don't want to mislead him because he asked me if he can apply for renewal now.

His next vacation is in March next year and he will like to travel to visit UK again.

He wants to know if he can apply for renewal now or not (6-month / 2-year)
Gurus in the house I need your advice

AngelicBeing:
Hian, the one headed by Lawan and his gang of thieves in Abuja >>>>>>Google Nigeria national assembly summons US Ambassador and you will see the news

AngelicBeing:
It was all part of why the National Assembly summoned the Ambassador, and it hasn't changed anything since then

Twostep:
Thanks but the person is in Lagos, plus from what I’ve read here even the supposed priority doesn’t stay true to the scheduled time frame often times

Twostep:
Quick one guys, is it advisable for someone that has an int trip on the 20th of December that would require having passport in hand to put in application for a UK visa on Monday and do biometrics next week?

I’m asking regarding the duration of getting the passport back considering the planned December trip requires the passport and cannot be canceled.

Thanks
