If you are going for the bolded you can self sponsor.

nwaogukings03:


I know it is not a guarantee for success but I wanna avoid the hassle of looking for a sponsor [b][/b]cos if I add that flight and hotel/dormitory money to the other expenses, then the total expenses (N425k or 780GBP) will be less than 3x the balance i have in the statement of account i wanna present (N1m or 1840GBP). Also the cost of the flight and hotel will increase by 50k or more by the time the visa comes out if success.

what do you think I should do?

nwaogukings03:

I dont understand. can u explain a little more

giselle237:

3rd jan is fine.
Eco won’t be there to know you are sponsoring the rest of the application from another account. He/she will likely make judgement from what they see
Since you knew you were/are going for an exam why didn’t you just arrange everything from the beginning because I cnt tell if this other account’s complication is necessary.
You have however a good reason to travel ie exam
Provide all proofs of this
Write a beautiful cover letter to explain your history as well as your ties and reason for travel.
Someone posted a good cover letter on this thread for the sake of goin for plab 2- you can use that to serve as a guide
Goodluck in all of this.

Buying and paying for hotel accommodation does not spare the fact that the onus is on you. I.e you would still have to explain and demonstrate to the eco how you are able to self or have someone sponsor your trip,stay and return to your home country after your trip to and from the UK.

What I think is reaccess your application, put a simple yet genuine application and hope for the best. All the best.

Happy Easter All.Kindly assist me with UK airport experience like questions to be asked at entry, challenges someone might encounter, items I am eligible to carry and not to carry as a tourist, cheapest airline to book which might be a bit below 300000 and best time to book in May.
Kindly help if ok to book with agency or direct airline. Is Ethiopian airline ok with their services? Also, I stated 7 days trip when applying can I stay between 13-15 days ? Is it ok to mention in my renewal I stayed 15 days due to 4 days airport shuttle i.e long flight to and fro?
I booked hostel when applying but cancelled due to delay issuing visa and time passed, but i intend to stay with a sister and a friend now, will it be a problem? Any need to book few days hostel lesser than days booked on ticket and present address of sister and friend at entry or rather ignore the hostel booking? Please advise appropriately.

Please my application is at DMC, I want will the ECO search my social media like Facebook and Twitter as part of the decision making process?

Reason I'm asking is cos I really do not support Ukraine's bid to join NATO & EU most especially on my Twitter.

I know this may sound trivial but I'm serious.

If you mentioned having this same person on your application then it’s fine. You must however have the money you claimed you have available for the trip on you, cash will be best. Also a few days difference in length of stay is not something to be worried about. Just remember if asked at the point of entry how long you are here for, state the truth.
Check wakanow and travelstart to compare prices, as for qatar airways if u get the price call the jigerian office and they will give you the naira equivalent for the chosen dates and u can pay to their naira bank accts
Also know what you filled on your visa application form if this is your first time of travelling, no room for different stories.

Hello everyone, please I have few questions I need clarification.

My brother was banned from the UK for submitting fake documents in February 2012.

Apparently an agent he contracted messed him up and that resulted in the ban.

February 2022 made it 10 years he was ban and he is trying to apply again by himself. Now this is my questions?

1. Will he disclose the ban? Since it is 10 years already.

2. Will he need an health insurance for the duration of stay?

3. Is hotel booking sufficient for proof of where he will stay in the UK?

Thank you all as I await your positive response.

leef2022:
Thank you for your prompt feedback. He has learnt a lot. I warned him against it. I did my Canada and US study visa myself 6 years ago and got both visas. God bless! I will be back to share the outcome. He is planning to apply the first week in May. Thank You!

But wait, you guys should allow these agents rest init...... Always the agent messed up, wasn't aware, like the wrongs always starts and ends with the agents... Ignorance is SIN.. it isnt in the bible for no reason that my people perish for lack of knowledge.....

1. If he encounters such question and it states within the last 10 years, he would have to disclose it... just to add it is safer to disclose such either ways during the application and be clean on events.
2. No. UKVI does not require travel insurance for standard visa application, as such that is optional.
3. Yes. That is sufficient.

veleta:




Write a cover letter introducing yourself, job title then mention you are inviting your mum for a visit but don't mention omugwu/childcare. You can say she is visiting to see her grandchildren. Mention that she will be staying with you all through her stay that her flight, accommodation will be sorted by you.

Include her bank statement, it's very important and also, if she is currently working or retired add the letter(pension letter if any).
Attach your tenancy agreement, council tax, letter of invitation from you as well as the cover letter.

Your mum should write cover letter as well.

All the best.

2. Will he need an health insurance for the duration of stay? - Not necessary

3. Is hotel booking sufficient for proof of where he will stay in the UK? - Maybe. He can book and show evidence

Thank you all as I await your positive response.

Greetings lovely people. I would love to make some enquiries. I have a family member in the UK who is ready to send me an invite to come over. He doesn’t know about the process so I said I’d find out but I really have no clue how to go about it. Please can I get a list of documents required and how the letter can be written ? Also for me the applicant, what documents would I be needing and how do I start the process? Incase there is page where all these is stated please kindly indicate. Thanks.

giselle237:
@rerin pls if you have the money available kindly book hotel for the duration of the stay, once you finish with border control you can go ahead and cancel the booking and find your sister. You stated hotel intially.
This is the option that will allow you have less palpitations at the border.
You know first timer and blunders.
If you insist on changing your story, I believe someone said he did that in part 4.. he got to border and said he will now be staying with his aunt, dnt know if he was asked further questions.. it is on part 4
He addressed that in his renewal application and was granted. this is all i know

Hello house, please I need your advice.
I want to apply for standard Visa to UK (6months single or multiple entry) on 31st April for the purpose of sitting a professional exam in mid June which has been paid in full. I plan to stay 3 full days in London and this excludes the days I fly in (may arrive in London in the evening) and fly out (will likely leave in the morning). I have no travel history.

I would have built my account for 4months starting from Jan to May end and so i want to use a 4months statement of account for the application. There is a small lump sum that came into my account on 1st Jan which i transferred out as investment.

I want to pay for my flight and hotel/dormitory accommodation in full using another account, so that it will remain transport and feeding and miscellaneous. I don't plan to engage in any form of shopping or sight seeing while there.

Current salary is N290K
In Jan, Feb, March, i performed an international transaction of N50k
I withdrew 20k from the account in 2 separate months.

My account balance will be about N1m (1840GBP)
Return Flight - N350k (645GBP) will be booked and paid in full from a different account.
Hotel/Dormitory - N35K (65GBP) will be booked and paid in full from a different account.

Expected expenses in London:
Feeding for 3days: N15k (30GBP)
Transportation for 3days: N10k (20GBP)
Miscellaneous: N10k (20GBP)

My questions are:
1. is it acceptable to present just 4months statement of account?
2. Is is acceptable to pay for flight and hotel using a separate account? Do I need to tell them that I have another account with money in it as a proof to show that i can afford to pay for the flight and transportation? will I need to provide the statement of this separate account?
3. Will the ECO add the flight and hotel expenses to the rest of the expenses even though I would have paid for them prior to visa application?
4. Should I start my statement of account from 3rd Jan to avoid explaining that lump sum that came in on 1st Jan or should I go ahead and explain it? how will I prove that the lump sum that came in is my money?
5. The expenses i budgeted, are they reasonable?

Please help me, abeg.
