Good evening all GURUS in the house ...welcome back #tutu been a while we hear from you.

Please I need your assistant on how to fill the form for my 3 Minor that are traveling with their mom? Ages is 6,4,2.

1. What I mine going to fill for the kids where they asked how much they wanted to spend for the trip? and how much they earned or spending every month?

2. What type of documents I will uploaded for the kids?

3. If I wanted to sponsor part of their trip is it advisable to send the money I wanted to use to sponsor them into my wife account and write a sponsorship letter that stated how much I send and the date the money was send? Does it necessary to attached my bank account statement again ? After I send the money to my wife account?

Please kindly advise ....

Tutu82:

Thanks Gentlesoul3268!.
I would advice you send the funds into your wife,s account and write a covering sponsorship letter.
For the kids,their birth certificate,letter from their school, family photos and a letter of consent from you should suffice.
Cheers.

Thank very much for your Swift response #tutu82.

You didn't answer the last question I asked what should I write for the kids where they asked how much they wanted to spend for the trip ? and how much is their monthly income ?

Remember they are going together with their mom.

Please is there a limit amount of money I can use to sponsor 3 kids and their mom?I wanted to sponsor them with their flight ticket which is roughly 1.3 because their mom monthly salary is 250k and spend 30k monthly left 220k disposable, also is it advisable to stay in the hotel ?



Pls kindly advise !!!!

A friend of mine got an offer from a Trust in the uk to work as a nurse and COS given, she is about applying for the visa but she is a bit afraid because in 2009/2010 she applied for a visit visa through an agent using another name, she was denied and cant even remember much of the detail. Will there be a problem if she applied now? and the part where they ask if she has ever been known by another name, how should she answer?

Tutu82:

If she gave biometrics there will be a problem.Ask this friend to search for her rejection letter. When you say another name do you mean false or she got married/divorced hence name change?.

askossis:


She used a false name. she was a minor then, about 16 or 17 and cant exactly remember if she did biometrics

As Any one book Self service recently, Cause i can only see Assisted Service here, with Addition 11k
what going on pls someone should pls comment, is there no Self Service of Free Charges Again?

Tutu82:

I didn’t answer as i wasn’t sure it depends on factors like how long you are staying,shopping,kids tourist attractions etc.Might be worth drawing up an itinerary of what they intend to do each day.

You May transfer 1.5m so that covers their flight and accommodation, while your wife supports with spending money.
For example all three of the kids can visit London dungeon/aquarium world and shrek adventure for £150 and there are lots of free kids events.

Their monthly income is NIL as they are dependents.
How much they spend on the trip is the cost of their ticket (look online)+ feeding/tourist/shopping which you can peg at £300 per child.

In my opinion,it’s better and cost effective to stay in an apartment instead of hotel as kids need space to jump around and make noise plus you have your own kitchenette for when they don’t want foreign food.

There is no limit to amount but be sensible as you need to prove you can afford it.So a rule of thumb for me is no more than 2 months combined salary.

Gentlesoul3268:



Wow thanks very much #tutu82 God will continue to bless you and rewards you.

About how much the kids will spend on the trip is the cost of the flight ticket / feeding/ tourist/ Shopping right ? Do you suggested that £300 per child would be enough? Because flight ticket alone is more than £300 lol.
Actually if the self isolation is still compulsory at that time 10days for isolation and additional 5days for our outing.
Please kindly advise me what I can put for the kids? If £300 would be reasonable or I should add more
God bless you all

you do not have to allocate shopping money. It is not mandatory. You can go for a holiday without ‘shopping’. Once again shopping is not a determinant.

Guys, please what’s the best sites to book flight and hotel reservations for visa application? I’ve tried Booking.com for hotel reservations, I keep getting decline mails after like 2 days.
How are there flights reservations done? If I book on hold, it gets cancelled after a while abi?

Please help.

Sanmigbola:
Flight booking is not compulsory.
For hotel reservation try agoda.com and make sure you use your debit card.

Tutu82:

How much child will spend on the trip is the total you intend to allocate to each child to cover everything.
I advised flight +(plus means add) £300 so no you cannot put £300 as this will not be enough.(You do the maths with the actual cost of their ticket ).
They don’t require a break down am just doing it for you so know how much to put down.I hope this helps.(you will need to make copies of the bank statement for each of the kids application as proof of sponsor finances).

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the good work on this thread.
Please can you recommend a laboratory for Covid test.
I understand one must choose one acceptable by the airline.
The airline of choice is Virgin Atlantic.

Gentlesoul3268:



Thanks very much this really helps alot , Do you mean after I transferred the money I wanted to support the kids and wife for their visa application as sponsorship I will still need to uploaded my bank statement ?

OR

I believe that after I transferred the money to
my wife account and write the covering sponsorship letter that's all?

Please kindly stated what I will need to submit after I transferred the money I wanted to support their visa application to my wife account ?


Though she will be attaching her own 6 months salary account with sufficient balance and other necessary document from her end.


Do I still need to submit any document from my side ? apart from the letter of sponsorship, since I will transfer the money for sponsorship to her account ?

.

You have opted to transfer money to the wife so it is her statement that will be included in each application but,in your letter of sponsorship include the amount you transfered,bank and dates for clarity.(Some case officers are too busy and just glance for a few second so it’s better you explain everything).
You can decide to write a letter of sponsorship and a letter of consent that’s two letters or combine it into one letter for eg;
……………….(your address)


Uk visa application(Embassy address)
Abuja.

To whom it may concern,
