Good day ,please I'd like to ask, can someone travel to the UK with 1month visa validity ,that is if the visa expires in a month time .although I intend to stay two weeks ,,which states I ll be back before the visa expires ..my agent is asking I reapply for another visa even before this current one expires that I will be refused at the point of entry
u can travel with visa validity of 1 month... just make sure u have a return ticket and funds at hand just as u told them when u were applying of how self sufficient u are for a holiday... incase u are asked..

Hello house is it only British airways that is the only flight to the UK? I just confirmed from waka now and they said that is the only airline. It is very expensive ooo. It is 545,00.

Please for those that have recently travelled, how much did you pay and is there any cheaper airline to travel to the UK?

Thank you
British airways is still on the rise and if you saw 545 for Economy grab it .
Ethiopian and Turkish are cheaper alternatives but remember Turkish tends to have a missing or delayed luggage issue i flew them once to save cost but the transfer and misusing luggage wasn’t worth it.Their on board food is better than BA though that’s a pro.

That is not true.You can travel on even a one week visa as far as you have a valid reason,return ticket and arrangements that terminate then as proof.

Visitor's visa: Details of breach of UK immigration law : Was appealing decision, how to respond in my visa application


Good day everyone. Please i need advice.

I am currently applying for a visitor's visa to uk. and the section Details of breach of UK immigration law is confusing me.

I used to live in the uk under a work visa, i applied to move to another category and it was denied. I started an appeal process that lasted 3 years. When i left the UK HO letter given to me said i over stayed from the initial time my visa was refused but during appeal i think it is legal to remain in the country.

Now the options in this section of the application are:

- I entered the UK illegally
- I remained in the UK beyond the validity of my visa/permission to stay
- I breached the conditions of my leave
- I gave false information when applying for a visa, leave to enter or remain
- Other

Do i select - I remained in the UK beyond the validity of my visa/permission to stay

or

- Other

Thank you
It’s legal to be in the state while your appeal process is ongoing but having said that I will like to paint you a scenario so you will understand why you might have overstayed.
Let’s say you had leave to remain until 1 March 2017 and submitted an application to change the category on 26 February 2017. Then the application was refused on 31 July 2017. Then you exercised your right of appeal and on 1 October 2017 the court upheld the refusal decision and no onward appeal was made.
In this case your leave was extended during the period:
• your application was awaiting determination
• you brought an appeal against the refusal decision
• your appeal is pending
Meaning all these period you are very legal in the state
But you will begin to overstay on 16 October 2017, based on:
• appeal determined on 1 October 2017
• adding 14 days while an in-time onward appeal could be brought gives 15
October 2017
The first day of overstaying is 16 October 2017
Second scenario is if you did not put in for your appeal on time and your leave to remain ran out you could be overstaying during that time or you did not apply for change of visa status before your leave to remain expired you might also be overstaying during that period.
To your second question choose I remained in the UK beyond the validity of my visa.

They have temporarily suspended sales of COVID testing kits as they are out of stock. That's why you're unable to book at the moment. You can try again later if you have the time or try any other test package.

Also I don't think Ethiopian is allowed to enter UK at the moment

Pls confirm before purchasing

It was cancelled as far back as March

Turkish airlines was still allowed till April ending ,not sure of May (don't forget turkey is now being included in the UK red list)


Your surest bet is BA (though expensive but sure)

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by nellytivities(f): 7:54pm On May 21, 2021
You already had a UK visa. I’m asking for someone that has never gotten a UK tourist Visa (who has never been to the UK before getting it during this Covid period without anyone inviting you..
won’t the consular officer just wonder what kind of vacation one is going for during this lockdown?

This is the reason I’m asking for anyone that has gotten a 6 month visa recently so I can be encouraged enough to go apply.

545k for economy is too high either BA or any other airline. You can get Los - Lhr for $750 to $800. It mostly depends on the day you are traveling. I booked return ticket Los - Lhr - man for $880. He arrived UK today.

U will get more help from the student thread,
However u cnt make these payments with ur nigerican card as they all have limits. These payments can be made by requesting someone u know with outside nigeria to pay whilst u remit naira to dem or buy u openin a Flutterwave account... u will b able to access a virtual dollar card for which u can use for ur payments.

Ihs must be paid complete— durin ur applicatiom it will ask u to input ur course end date, thts how d calculation is done.. whatsoever ur course is due to end is what will determine d amount u owe.

For visa application fee— every tier 4 student visa applicant pays d same rate which is the standard fee.. if u say u want a faster decision then u must standard fee + fee for faster decision.. this makes it two amounts. They aim to conclude standard app within 3 weeks... so if u have time, u can sit with that..
Thank you so much for this information.

I have friends that have come in from Nigeria on these Airlines in the last two weeks so i asked them before putting the information on here.
BA has a cheaper basic economy option where you carry only hand luggage with no checked luggage allowance but then your shopping would be limited.
I googled Dec 14th-28th as an example because a lady on here had those dates.The prices depends on the date but i maintain that this is high season coming on summer.
The search came up with;
Ethiopian 445,520
Turkish 455,210

Hi.The kind of vacation you choose to take is not the caseworkers concern.That your claims are genuine and you meet the requirements set out for your chosen visa category is what he/she is there to assess.

Thanks so much for your help..I contacted him and he said the package doesn't come with an email..personally I don't know the agent,a cousin of mine who works at the airport contacted my big brother and told him there is a special package and I'm going to pay a million +..I gave 600,000 as an initial payment but when it didn't go through because of covid according to them I was refunded 500,000.

Now I want to apply for a new one..I have a limited company I registered since January 2018 which I want to build for six months and then apply November..I have never used that company for any transaction but but I have started fixing it..I want to ask my in-law in Germany to use my company to import the next container he will be bringing to Nigeria,I want him to use my name like three or four times and I also import goods from the UK but not as much as what my in-law brings...
I also want to ask my in-law to be sending all the money he sends my brother for his house project into my business account so I will be the one to pull it after four days then send to my brother..for my personal business I want to always put my own personal money in my business account then keeping sending 100,000 into my private account so once it's 6 months I will print my bank statement and also I will have like 4 million as my balance when I'm doing the printing.
Please is there any other document or information I will be needing for this business visa application?I will be applying like someone going on a business trip..maybe to go buy second hand shoes and clothes then come to Nigeria and sell?
I also would be submitting all the documents I used to purchase all the goods for that six months..please put me through on what I need for a business trip or if I'm on the right part.. God bless.

sandra pls can u get all the details from the last uk application so u are sure this your agent has not filled one information which u re not able to continue... any change or discrepancies will open room for more scrutiny plus or minus denial et ban if deception was used.

You can get $800 (less than 400k naira) ticket on BA this month & early next month. An agent asked my brother to pay about 530k naira for Lagos - Lhr - Manchester (dept may 20 / return June 7) but I booked it on ba.com for $880 (less than 430k naira)

I checked return ticket on BA for Los - Lhr (December 14 -28). Price $1250.

Well this packge and package left, right and centre.. if you have to do all these probably is not goin to help your case. Anyway did you go for biometrics? I am really worried that this agent claims that your last application is not email package.. pls what does he mean... since u were refused, a reason must have been stated.. and the only way this ppl translate this reason is via email or physical refusal letter.

I dnt think it is wise to apply for another visa if u dnt know what exactly went wrong in d last ‘package’... is it just a refusal or you were bannned bcus all this talk is not straight forward. I think u shud invest time in finding out also what was filled in ur last application and/or your visa letter as you can’t give conflicting .. information this time around too... we just need u to confirm that u went to a TLS centre to submit biometrics- fingerprint and digital photo yes or no??

Were u filled as married? What job did they put for you? What was ur income? Did they say u have kids? U need to know if truly u had a visa app and what information was filled there and why u were denied if so...
I just have to let you know tht you were scammed, I pray you have not also chopped 10 years ban in d process! 1 million naira uk visa package indeed!
