Richardelorin:The father should apply for the EU citizenship he holds for the child.Children are granted automatic citizenship from their parents. Which EU nationality does the father hold?The UK expects the child to hold the father’s nationality too.if he was truly his child. |

Good morning My name is carim I’m new here. I’m planning to apply for a uk tourist visa, I earned 300k per month but I got promoted last month with increment of 150k (450k) per month expecting this January.my available balance is 1,055,000 but by ending of February salary it should be 1.9M (September-February) I spoke with my lawyer this evening she said 1.9m is too small for tourist visa,that’s y I signed up to seek for opinions Thank so much Guys |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by asknaija: 3:31am On Jan 26, 2022 |
rigvod: Thanks for the response. I have sent mails to public enquiry and the complai-nt mail. Got one response that says the can not assess cases or advice. That I should refer to the letter given to know if i have right to appeal, else I should reapply. Why will I apply 3 times for a mistake on their part? Still thinking of what next to do. |

Please avoid that lawyer because that is very false. you can have as low as 500k and still be granted a visa. The most important thing is just to enusre your financial statement easily reflects your monthly salary and also explain any inflow that might be a red flag. Also, keep the application simple. Your Salary is more than good enough to get you the visa. All the best. Carim19: 1 Like |

No need to explain business transactions going through your personal account. I said make sure ALL your business transactions go through your business account and ensure your personal account is clean. The simpler your application, the better for you. Just let everything be clear as day. ummys: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by cutebear: 9:53am On Jan 26, 2022 |
It's not just about your salary. There are many other factors to consider. People earning much more get denied and some people earning less get approved. Everyone's case is different. Kindly give us your general profile. Age, marital status, do you have children? the amount of money you have in savings, if you have any investment like land, property or other fixed investments, your travel history, how much you plan to spend in the uk. Carim19: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by cutebear: 10:02am On Jan 26, 2022 |
See, it depends on your budget. I know people are saying 1.9million is enough but its like a lot of you have forgotten that many people on this thread have gotten refused because the ECO doubts that the applicant will have enough money to continue their lives in Nigeria when they return from their trip. Also, I hope that 1.9 million in your account wasn't recently deposited. If you have bulk amounts in your bank account within the last few months, it will look like you're trying to inflate your bank balance and that will lead to straight denial. Make sure that the only large deposits in your account is your salary and if there are large deposits, you will have to explain the source of the funds in a cover letter and show proof of your claims. I also recommend your travel duration to be no more than 7-10 days and your trip budget should be no more than GBP1,500. Also, do you have a travel history? That is always an advantage. Carim19: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by cutebear: 10:07am On Jan 26, 2022 |
You can't say "little left in your account". That is not enough! Imagine someone spending 50-80% of their life savings just for a holiday. It doesn't make sense to these ECOs and they have explained this several times in the refusal letters we have been seeing on this thread. A substantial amount should be left in the account UNLESS the person has other monetary investments or property investments. Finance is literally the #1 reason why most people have been getting denied on this thread. Osoderi: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by cutebear: 10:23am On Jan 26, 2022 |
It’s not just that. There are unexplained deposits in your bank account. Before application, you are supposed to go through your bank statement to make sure that there aren’t other large deposits in your account apart from your salary. If there are large deposits, you are meant to determine the sources of these funds and then address it in a cover letter to the ECO with proof of the source of the funds. If you want to avoid explanation, then you should keep your bank account very clean and free of large deposits for 6 months. Personally, I had to move my biometrics date forward by 2 extra weeks when I discovered I had over N4 million deposits from my crypto investments and I didn’t want to explain it to the ECO in order to avoid wahala. The deposits were early in my statement so I only needed to wait for 2 weeks for it to clear. Also, what was your bank balance as at submission? The ECO said you are travelling with your family….if that means wife and children, you are meant to have a substantial amount of money for them too. If it’s your siblings/parents then, that doesn’t matter Then there is the problem of your budget. Why would you budget 500k for your trip when flight ticket to UK costs around 400k. Then you plan on staying for 14 days. How will you pay for your hotel? Even if you’re staying with family, you will still need to buy food out, go on tours, do a bit of shopping, use transportation. Even taxi from airport to London will cost nothing less than 40-60k You need to do some serious work on your finances, bank account, budget, savings, investments etc. Because it really looks like you want to Japa without returning. switch900: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 10:36am On Jan 26, 2022 |
@Carim19 1.9million is not deciding factor for visa. It is a collective of your pre existing factors, if you can even wait longer and further strengthen your acct the better. You recently got promotion and upward rv of salary, you can still give that time and then plan your application meticulously. My motto still remains there is never a rush to go and chop and refusal! This is good salary nonetheless… 450k 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Carim19(m): 11:06am On Jan 26, 2022 |
I have no large sum of money in my account except for my salary,I also have a side hustle (tailoring) which I use to maintain myself
|
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 11:11am On Jan 26, 2022 |
Carim19:this tailoring money do you receive it inside same salary account? If yes, pls start the separation now. The two can not work in the same account as you will have a lot of explanations to do and peg your self towards denial. Also delete your personal bank statement pls… |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 11:15am On Jan 26, 2022 |
switch900:oh my. That’s strange. Well. What was the purpose of your trip? You said family visit… pls explain this part…thank you. U will have to reapply later, just dnt go now and look desperate. I saw your explanation to cutebear. What documents did your cousin provide to support this application? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by LoyalRoyalty: 11:18am On Jan 26, 2022 |
@switch900, is your company name active or not on CAC database? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 11:20am On Jan 26, 2022 |
LoyalRoyalty:i just reread the letter. They dnt seem to have any problm with the company nor his employment status as he had stated. They even acknowledged the salary credits are in line with the stated amounts and all. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Carim19(m): 11:30am On Jan 26, 2022 |
@gisselle I’m using my personal account for my tailoring, though it has been registered (haus_of_carim) last year April but I don’t have an account for it |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by cutebear: 11:31am On Jan 26, 2022 |
Please I want to understand something based on your account statement. You are employed and you earn 300k but from the beginning of your statement, you never had savings? You don't have another account for savings? You just started getting your salary now? How long have you been working? Did you just get this job? because it is strange that 6 months ago, you had almost 0 savings and within 3 months, your account grew to N1.3 million. It looks very strange. You never had money and then all of a sudden, over 3 months, your account started growing to 1.3 million. This looks very strategic. You only gave 3 months statement starting from september. This isn't even enough to determine your financial standing. Let me give an example. When I submitted my salary account, it had only about 250k balance but I've had transactions of over 7 million in the account. I earn 450k monthly (and I get other benefits in millions yearly) BUT i have a savings dollar account. The balance started with $12k and the closing balance is $11k....This is the account I plan to fund my trip from. Carim19: |
