Yes, download and upload your VAF.

With regards to cover letter, its not compulsory except there is something you want to explain.

I used same email for all with separate passwords per application... kids are minors.[iT turned out fine

quote author=rebless post=103793223]Good morning Nairalanders,

Please when applying for a family visa, is it advisable to use the same email address for all the applicants or better to use different email address for each individual in the family? I hope that if one uses the same email address for everyone it will not result in confusion or affect application when it gets to appointments stage.

Thanks [/quote]

let your sister pay all the money into your account. Check @bivoprad on this thread for documents submitted to guide you for sponsorship route and add any other home ties you have in Nigeria, you will get it. Use that list and add any other things u need to submit.


Thank you so much!!!

you can reserve hotel and airline ticket without actually paying for it.
Pls do not pay for anything until your visa is granted. This is the statement from the official uk gov website

Has any one used Polaris bank for their proof of fund and used their statement for visa application?

Their statement of account is not on their letter headed paper. So there’s no email or phone number incase the embassy want to verify the account. Though they have the statement stamped.

I am worried.

Anyone with an advice please

Hello house. Please does anyone know if Royal air maroc is currently flying to UK from Nigeria? I was able to book a flight for my parents on expedia.co.uk. However, someone just told my dad that the Airline is not currently flying from Nigeria. I'm a bit confused now. How come I was able to book it when they are not operating? Anyone with any info Thank you.

I am also looking for UKVI email address as I am now confused and don't understand the situation anymore.

I got a refusal decision dated May 29, 2021 and up till today the whereabout of my passport is unknown to me. TLScontact responded to my email that they have not received the passport from the embassy.

How can I still be waiting for passport return 50days after decision made?

What else can I do to get my passport back people?

Please I need help.

Not true. They're flying from Lagos
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Kennstin: 10:19am On Jul 19, 2021
Make sure you disclose it. There is usually a section of the application dedicated for that. They even give a box to explain what happened. Use that opportunity to say something that would exonerate you, but do not lie.

Good day @tutu,justwuse and all, my 76 years old aunt was denied visa on the strength of her financial status.(she didn't include her account,as she hasn't been using one for several years now. She gets her upkeep in cash)
No room for appeal or administrative review.
We got a lawyer to write the embassy,on the strength that the son who is the sponsor had enough money in his account.
Please advise and help with details of where lawyer will send protest letter to.
Victoria Island was the biometric center
Will appreciate any input

Hey guys,

good day.
I got my study Visa approval few days ago...yayyy

Right now, I'm trying to book a flight for next month end to Cardiff

I plan to book Ethiopian airways (well cos it's affordable and journey length is not bad)

I heard someone mention that I can only fly B.A or virgin right now due to covid restrictions, is that true?

Please I would like for everyone to help on this asap and if you have someone I can talk to regarding this, please refer me also.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Aibisoye0: 5:28pm On Jul 19, 2021
Ethiopia and Egypt are on the RED List you can only fly Ethipian if you are are a UK permanent resident or a Citizen and will still follow the RED list rules and fly Egypt if you have additional £2000 for hotel quarantine and testing. That 2k will buy you BA or VS jeje. You can do Royal Air Maroc which I don't recommend due to my last and only experience or go via transit visa route and go via KLM. The choice is yours
