You don't need a transit visa if you are not going through Immigration.

I hope this helps.
Thank you

You generally do not need a transit visa if:
• You stay in the international transit/transfer area at Istanbul airport. You don’t pass through immigration or exit the transit section.
• Your layover is under 24 hours and you're only connecting to another flight.
Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.

Hello everyone. I asking for a first hand experience of anyone that has recently used Turkish airline from Lagos to London with a layover in Istanbul? Does it require transit visa? The layover is just about 2hrs..I'm confused because I have been seeing conflicting information about it. Even called their help desk in Nigeria and she said transit visa is required while another page says otherwise. Thanks.

Good evening everyone. Is it compulsory for a sponsor to submit payslips in addition to bank account?
Also, the sponsor is a British citizen and works in the UK but wants to use her Nigerian Bank account. Is that OK?

Anything you are presenting must be backed with a proof cos there's no interview.

So if you said you invested money in Treasury bills, then you have to present proof.

'Why are they helping to pay for your visit'? Just say your Nephew wants her to come for the funeral.

'What is the total amount of money you spend each month'? The answer will be from her statement of account. It's from the statement of account, you can get the average monthly expenses.
Thanks for your response. She has proof of the investment of the treasury bill. My question is that is it necessary to state where she got the money she used to do the treasury bills.

Hello everyone. My mum wants visit the UK for her elder sister's funeral. She has visited UK 3 times within the last 10years and Her last visit was in 2018.

Her nephew in the US is sponsoring the flight ticket and her younger sister in the UK is providing accommodation, feeding and other expenses. She's paying the visa fee herself.

Having gone through the visa application form, I have some few questions on the financial situation.

My mum is retired and earns monthly pension of about #80k, plus other money from her children and husband for maintenance which is also sent to her pension account. She also has savings in another bank account that has about #1million. Then she has treasury bills of #5million.

Her pension account and savings accounts are all over the place because she doesn't have a specific amount she spends. This trip is impromptu so she hasn't got the time to put her accounts in order.

Is it necessary to provide the source of money she invested for the treasury bills?

Pls how should these questions be answered?

'Why are they helping to pay for your visit'?

'What is the total amount of money you spend each month'?

Pls note that she doesn't have specific range of amount she spends monthly.

Thank you for your attention to this question.

Haaa.!!!! .....condolences oooo....

But I think there is a human right concession immigration lawyers uses in cases like this.....I've heard it once where the lady was granted extended stay on grounds that there is no home to return to as survival will be impossible for her and her kids without her husband

Please try and contact an immigration lawyer,
Thanks for you response..In this case, the dependant is the husband. And their only child just came into the UK for his M.Sc around October. He' ll contact an immigration lawyer. Thanks a lot.

Pls, I really appreciate your responses🙏🙏
But can I go ahead and use my old name for my passport and still present the documents for change of name during visa application in order to prove relationship with my husband?

Will it not raise a red flag ,that I have done change of name and yet didn't use it on my passport??

Pls, I am sorry for disturbing🙏

There's no problem with that. I had the same issue. My passport and TB test had my maiden name while my PCC had my married name because NIN/BVN was used to apply for PCC and I have changed to my married name on my BVN/NIN..even as I have done change of name over 3 years ago but I didn't do a new passport after my change of name. I just wrote my married name as the other name I'm known as in the space provided for additional name on Visa app form and I also explained that in the space for further information and I got my visa. Then I supported the application with pictures, marriage cert, affidavit and newspaper publication.

Hello Guys,
Please i have a question, I got married in June this year. But my wife has already done her international passport on her father's name since last 2 years right before we got married. Does this mean she needs to do another passport that carries my surname before we apply or we can use our passports with our different surnames? because we are submitting our application next year March. Please advice .
There is no problem if her passport is still in her maiden name. That was also my case we both got our visas. Just back it up with marriage cert and other relevant documents showing u are genuinely married.

Congratulations. But why did you have to present a landlords consent letter?
It's one of the requirements on the visa form to present that shows we are genuinely married and living together as couple. You need to submit 2 documents that shows you live in the same address with the Main applicant.

Hello guys, please help with bellow questions.

Do you have a PhD which is relevant to your job?
Has your sponsor agreed to certify your maintenance on your certificate of sponsorship?
Have you reviewed the guidance on professions that require an overseas criminal record check?
Is your employment in a profession that requires an overseas criminal record check?
Has your sponsor or employer confirmed you are eligible for the Health and Care visa?
Do you need to obtain permission from the ATAS?

I have hard time answering this questions so in order to avoid mistakes, i decided to ask.
Thanks
1) If you don't have PhD, then answer 'No'.

2) Check your COS if Maintenance is certified 'Y' or 'N'. This stands for Yes or No. If 'Y', you won't need to have POF in your bank account. If 'N', you need to have funds in your account for POF for 28days in a row.

3) Yes

4) Yes and you need to submit Police Character Certificate for Nigeria in addition to any country you have lived for over 6mths or so.. I'm nt sure of the duration.

5) Yes. If not u won't have gotten the COS in the first place.

6) No.. It should be stated as 'N' on your COS..

No but your child application form should contain the consent page and you just need to tick and have the main applicant sign on it.
Good morning. Pls will the dependant partner also upload the pages 1 and 3 of the form?. I saw some posts saying the dependant partner will also upload them on her own application too. And if so is it the only the MA that will also sign the one for dependant partner or they will sign it together? Pls clarify thanks

It’s not that compulsory since everyone is applying together and visas are generally linked together by GWF or VAF. Also in our case, the main applicant who’s the mum signed the consent letter. So I guess the main applicant should sign.
