They asked if I have any other source of income or savings I said No …….now in the cover letter I should write I have an online business which gives me another income aside from what my parents give right ?

itoski:


Better stick to your application you made online and explain yourself but what they were advising you to do is create a home tie i.e why the ECO should believe you will leave the UK.

Good evening everyone.
Please do you think an account balance of about 1.4million and a 4 month statement of account would be good enough to apply for a visitor visa.
I have an exam in the UK in February and I'm just trying to get things ready ahead of time.
My Salary is 220k and monthly expenses about 50-60k

You can actually use 4 months bank statement as long as it is clean.

Jbab:




We have read here how an applicant was denied visa because he/she presented less than 6months bank statement, if you are a first time applicant, it's better you go by the rule of six months statement.for a frequent flyer, 4 or 5 months good statement can be considered.

Ashirioluwa:


The requirement is six-month bank statements.

Some applicants used a 4 or 5 month bank statement, but most of them are frequent travelers.

Why don't you run the account for 6 months before you put in your application?

Thank you very much for your response.
Do you think the account balance is ok for a 5day trip just for my exam.

rab4sure:
Please I see people complaining on this thread sometime ago about using wakanow as travel agency. Those who have used them should please explain if they are good or I should stay away because I intend to book with them tomorrow with either British Airways or Virgin Atlantic because it seems they are the only two with direct flights to the UK and I do not want to be going through the stress of learning how to apply for transit visa. Your prompt response will be highly appreciated. Thanks

IfeNimi:


Thank you for the reply.
What do you think about the account balance?

royalmu:
It is advisable for you to have in your account the amount that will cover the cost of your trip and also have reasonable amount you can fall back on when you return from your trip.

Ashirioluwa:


1.4 million naira is low balance for UK visa. The price of tickets for UK trip is currently above 750k. If I were you, I would run the account for at least six months.

Can one gets visa with that balance, yes, it’s possible especially for frequent travelers and those who have sponsors. One folk actually got visa with account balance of less than 1m.

In any case, it all depends on how your application is packaged. You may give it a shot.

This is just my own personal opinion. I am not an expert in this field.

IfeNimi:
Thank you

giselle237:
is it plab 2? If yes they may close their eyes to some certain things if other boxes are well ticked. Try to ensure that you prove greatly beyond reasonable doubts that you will come back. If not plab 2… sorry I can’t speak on it

Good morning everyone.
I just arrived UK on a dependant visa with the MA and a 7years old son. What are the steps to take concerning:
(1) Getting a school for my boy. Due to his age check with your council as they would handle primary school admissions.
(2) Opening a bank account. With your BRP +/- proof of your address you can open with online banks like monzo or revolut or with street banks like Barclays.
(3) Applying and getting jobs.- indeed, reed etc but you need to know what you applying for
(4) Idea about other things I need to do or put in place.
(5) I am a medical doctor. How do I go about the application for OET or IELTS, PLAB 1 and PLAB 2?
As a doctor all this is on google.. book and pay for ielts or oet online, during or after passing open an account with GMC and continue from there. To book plab 1 slot, when u clear oet or ielts is when u can book plab 1. When u pass plab 1, then u’ll be able to see plab 2 seats. Google everything . All the information is there

For more information check the living in the UK thread..
