. @ Dadamann, what? 22 working days no response?. I'm freky don't know what to do, the exam time frame expires on 28th Oct.,2021.next month. An exam that you will process to write for almost 1year & 6 months with millons involved. And if I want to reschedule the exam there might be no space in October. Oh God COVID-19 see what you are causing!!!. Just believing God to do something.

Covid 19 might not be the cause, the fault might be from verification of some of your documents.

No!, What I mean on COVID-19 is that we don't go to UK to write this exam , normally is in the Philippines. So easy to get your visa. Now no visa to Phillippines.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by owenjegede: 3:22pm On Sep 09, 2021
Now I understand.
You just have to endure.
What type of exam ? If you don't mind

PLEASE I NEED HELP. I NEED SOMEONE WHO HAS GOTTEN AIRPORT TRANSIT VISA TO PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GO ABOUT IT. I'M TRAVELLING WITH KLM AND I'VE PAID FOR IT ALREADY WITHOUT KNOWING THE STOPOVER AT AMSTERDAM WOULD REQUIRE A TRANSIT VISA. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. I'M LEAVING SOON.

[You have to call the company you booked with and tell them to put you in another KLM flight without stopover or re adjust your travel date and give them small money.

You can also quickly take travel insurance before your flight date and claim sick to get some of your money back.

You can apply for transit Visa at the Netherland embassy if you still have 10 to 15days to your travel date and write a cover letter to explain to them about your travel date and attached your book flight ticket.hopefully they can issue the transit Visa within 10 working days if you submit the same documents used in getting your uk Visa.

Or you can just book another flight because no way KLM go let you board, na their second scam be that to reap off people wey nor watch the stopover sign when booking, all best in advance.

If going for masters in UK, is there possibility of visa renewal for work permit after the end of the studies?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by owenjegede: 4:53pm On Sep 09, 2021
You need to be 100% sure by calling klm.
I think if your flight will transit through Amsterdam, there is no need for airport transit visa but if you are going through France you have to apply for ATV.

If you transit through just Amsterdam, transit visa is not required.

I would like to know which airline one can fly from Nigeria to UK trying to avaoid BA as much as possible. He reach to almost pay school fees grin.

KLM and airfrance seems to be the logical one to take, but there's this confusion about needing transit visa or not. Has anyone flied them recently?

Oh thank you so much for this reply. So my sister is actually the one inviting me and she just told me now that she doesn't mind standing in as a sponsor too since she has every qualifying document with a closing balance of £8k, but at the same time i dont want to submit my account statement empty, so i am thinking of reducing the money hubby will transfer to 600k or 700k for flight since she will be providing accomodation and feeding. I also don't intend shopping because i am only attending her baby's Christening. At the same time i wouldn't want to add/submit my hubby's statement of account bcus he is running on some loans and wouldn't look nice.


giselle237:

Let the money be in your account and show proofs of the source of your husband’s money.
U can provide payslips + sponsorship letter + his employment documents + his work id+ marriage certificate+ other proofs of relationship between yourselves .... if he will still have a substantial amount in his account after the money he wants to transfer to you, then by all means also add his statement of account.
Also if you can reduce your budget a bit, pls do

To avoid story of the gods eco can see inappropriate things in your hubby bank statement which can affect your application, have seen many people who their sponsored transferred the funds to their account and the sponsor writing a sponsorship letter stated the amount he sent, date, time and what the money for without submitted the sponsor bank statement or payslips ..... Although I'm not aguru but talking from experience what have seen on this forum

Let see other people who have been in this kind of shoe should please contribute so we can help

Hi everyone,
I want to apply for tourist visa to the Uk. I have a place to stay already and my friend is going to write an invite letter for me. But I don’t really know the documents he is to provide, aside the letter.

Also, I will be self sponsoring. I do not currently work, I just got done with my final exams, but I got a letter from my school stating I would be coming back for my graduation, would that be enough as proof of intent to return? I have a business that I registered with CAC in February, I have roughly 4m for the entire process. But I’m not sure what else I would require as documentation for the process. Could you please tell me what documents to get from my friend and the documents I should also provide.
Lastly, do I require travel insurance? I plan to be gone for about 3 months.

Thank you for your help!

your sister should write an invitation letter to u inviting u to her home and an invitatx letter to the home office notifying them of who you are, relationshp to u, where u are comin to, why you are comin, date exactly comin, what she will be happily providin, when u are leavin and to where, to further substantiate her claims of financial provision for accommodation and feeding she can submit bank statement, payslips, pictures, birth certificate to establish u are sisters, tenancy agreement or mortgage etc. all these in addition to previous documents you mentioned you would submit

It is not that simple.
Also graduation is not a tie. After all you are done with final exams and would be awarded your degree. It can be added but surely it is not a tie. U need to explore what your ties are to Nigeria.
Also u cnt be gone for 3 months on actual visa application form- say that and get your chances for denial be at 90%. Reduce trip duration drastically. Factor in 10 days for quarantine + a few days for the travel.
U dnt need travel insurance for travel to uk
Pls how do u make your money in this your business?
U cnt use the business account to apply as your business funds are for your business. U should have personal savings or earnings by which you would use to sponsor your trip.

Lastly, it is not enough pls get reason for travel. Any visa application tht will be approved has to have a reason for travel that can be communicated effectively via your docs to the visa officer.

@deraal
True graduation is not a tie, and no officer will give you visa if you are staying for three months, but my spouse used only his company account to apply for visa and he got it. I think it depends on how you explain yourself in your cover letter.

I think you should look for other stronger ties that will bring you home and reduce your trip to 3 weeks. Wrote your cover letter like you are talking to the ECo officer.

Also, anyone using the self employed route to apply for a visa, and your company is not a scam just for visa purpose, always ensure your business has a Google presence at least that's if you can't afford to have a website. If makes your company look genuine. ( Advise from a friend who has worked at an embassy before , not UK embassy though, so UK may not use this as a requirement but at least just give it a try)
