@ Tutu82, please how much rough estimate should she put in for her expenses in UK for 14 days. thank you.

Juddy2018:
, ok thanks so much, please how much total expenses should she put for her staying 14 days ( estimate please). Thanks.
You seemed to have stylishly asked the same question in a different way so let me give you an example;I used £1-580.
£50x14 days accommodation=700
£30X14 days feeding=420
£600 Return Air ticket
£100 Oyster pass + miscellaneous
Total expense=£1,820(1,055,000.00 Naira).
Feeding is flexible as a meal should cost no more than £10 and you might not want to eat thrice a day.
You don’t need to show your breakdown on the application.

Right.They just after the total you intend to spend on the trip not necessarily a breakdown,who is paying for the trip,whether anyone is sponsoring you and proof that you actually have these funds in a functional account.
Be realistic and truthful on your application and this usually leads to an approval.

gud morning
is there a specific debit card for paga verve? for instance,i have my stanbic debit card linked to my paga account and im on level 3 on paga, do i just transfer the naira equivalence to the stanbic debit card, choose paga verve and pay?
I ask because when i clicked on paga verve, it didnt ask for my paga login, it went straight to ask for my card details

I need your opinion about this:

My last visa i truthfully filled in the form that I don't know anybody in the UK and I was given the visa but after getting the visa I got to know that my distance aunt has been in the uk for a long time. Tho we lost contact.

I was able to get her contact so I visited her and was truthful at the point of entry about her existence and how we lost contact. I was allowed in after border force contacted and also confirmed the same thing from her.

Can this affect my next application because I will now fill it in the form that I know someone in the uk but I don't intend staying with her this time around.

Your next application will not be affected because you have an Aunty you have no intention of staying with.
Your last sentence i have no intention of staying with her this time around means you stayed with her last time (Please word your explanations carefully to avoid being misunderstood).
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Jbaby09: 2:13pm On Jun 01, 2021
This please ?

Good morning ..

So for the test to release, do we pay before visa application? Or just state it in additional information that the option will be explored??

Cos I’ve reduced my vacation time to 11 days as opposed to 18 days and opt for test to release on day 6.


Also please asides a dollar or pounds card how else can we pay application fees?? Seeing there’s a limit on the NAIRA card

Thanks [/quote]

All the information you need is on the internet do a bit of reading and research and don’t just take people,s word for it.The test is day 5 not day 6.
Makes more sense to reduce to 14.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Jbaby09: 2:40pm On Jun 01, 2021
Thanks for your response

The reason I said day 6 is cos based on the UKVI website, it counts from a day after you land. To my understanding that’s day 6( though could be 5 for some) that’s how I understand it.

Thanks for the 14 day advise

Lastly please advise on alternative payment gateway.

Thats exactly what am trying to explain, I stayed with her the last time despite not declaring her in my visa application form, tho i was truthful at the point of entry but for my next application I don't wish to stay with her but I have to declare her presence in my next application.

When you got to Boarder control the first time was the officer chatting with you or typing on his computer before scanning your visa?.

Chatting with me and asking personal information based on what I filled on my visa form and my aunty's contact information to confirm from her too.

He needed to be sure because london was on tier 5 lockdown

This question goes to the house:

Have you ever come across a refusal letter based on this

Hi.You do not need to disclose that you have family in the uk unless you have a letter of invitation to stay with them.You have a hotel booking already so you are purely a tourist leave it that way.

You should avoid submitting 6months payslip then show only 3 months bank account how would the case officer confirm the other 3 payslips was actually paid to you?.

Yeah, after looking at the cost of booking, a decent place might cost me close to 2K,so - would just be isolating at my bros, all i am gonna be needing is his tenancy agreement, no ? or he's got to say he'd be housing me in a letter ?

Okay, so 6mths statements vs 3mths statements and payslip - which would you go for ?

How many days are you about for again?.

His Tenancy agreement is not enough you would need a government bill(ie council tax,electricity,water)as well and his data page plus a signed letter of Invitation from him stating your relationship and the period he is accommodating you.

Perhaps in the additional information section you might want to mention it or if you are asked but i personally wouldn’t see the need except you are asked.

Just answer questions that were asked. Don't give your self a question and answer it.

You can declare the relationship. That you know someone doesn't mean you should stay at theirs.

Most times I don't stay in my siblings place. You could also be visiting s different town from where they stay.

In summary: Answer questions asked. Don't give an unsolicited explanation

Hello house,

Please has anyone used paga to pay visa fee recently? It’s asking for card details and the amount is still in usd.
