Since when? Only airfrance,klm, Lufthansa and other eu carriers require transit visa to the Uk.

Mrmoney90:


Yes they do. Try Ethiopia Airlines or Rwanda Air. Or if you have the money, try Virgin or British Airways as they are both direct flights to Uk

Na why u no suppose deh do paid mails/calls after tourist/standard visa refusal, if not na mission excuted you deh do so.

Best you do is send complaint msg in such scenario(free of charge and e no go purge ur belle) if you feel u have been wrongly refused or jeje correct mistake and reapply.

You’re right! But sometimes it’s good to fight the battle till the end.

It’s always easier to reapply, but the stress of the whole process that’s the wahala.

But I’m sure there will be success this time

I just think with the new rules on Nigerians by the UAE, there’s bound to be that. But who knows?

Enquiries can be made from the airline company for clarification.

My best advise to you regarding the flight situation will depend on what platform you are using to book. If it’s Wakanow, I will advise you go directly to their office to make that booking. That way you can tell them you want to book a refundable ticket. So if your passport does not return before then, you can always cancel and get your money back.

Cheers and safe trip!

If your flight is refundable, you can cancel it, because that correction can take a few days to a week or more for it to be made.

Good luck and cheers!

TB cert. is for the application stage, you submitted before its expiration so don't worry.

Dont buy ticket yet until you receive you pp.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all the help you give. I have a few questions.

1. Do you need your travel ticket to request for your PTA or just your visa?

2. If you are travelling with children, can you buy more than $4k for the trip?

3. Which banks are the best in giving PTA?

Thank you

Maybe you can try either the TOUCHDOWN or TRAVELSTART. I think TRAVELSTART is good, because I usually use them to check for ticket rates, then compare with WAKANOW, but I’ve not used them.

I think if you are concerned about them (TRAVELSTART or TOUCHDOWN), no need to worry, just search them on google and get their address. It’s best to visit their offline office to make any booking. That way, you will feel safer.

Well from what I know so far, visa applications are judged based on individual circumstances, irrespective of it being a group application. Moreover, each applicant will be submitting their applications separately.

But since you said your boss will be covering for the trip, I suppose this includes all costs right? Or would you be paying for part of the trip?

If your answer to the second question is yes, then I will ask the same question Giselle asked you earlier, how do you survive here? Like what do you do for a living? How do you make money? As all these informations will be needed when applying.

Cheers!

As for your TB certificate, you have nothing to worry about as you only needed it for visa application. So Leef and Giselle are both correct.

I have added an attachment to that regard.

Cheers and safe trip in advance

Send another paid mail. This time around, let them know you have made previous enquiries with no response from them till date.

Remind them of the enquiry you made and how they failed to get back to you within the stated 5 working days timeframe. I’m sure you will get a response.

Make sure the content of your email is fierce, though not too fierce, because you only want to let them know of your disappointment towards their service and not to create further problems for yourself.

Goodluck with that in advance.
can I pm you pls? Or if possible give me an outline of the male to send pls. Very confused now

Yes please, the both of you will have to submit your applications separately for the sake of biometrics (i.e submission of fingerprints).

However, I think there is a section on the application form that says if you will be traveling with anyone. When you get to that point, you can put your boss’ name as the person you’re traveling with, whilst he does the same on his own form as well.

More so, if that option of who you will be traveling with isn’t available on the form, quite similarly, your boss can write a letter addressing it to UKVI, stating he will be traveling with you and why, and also declaring the intentions of the trip, as well as the length.

Also, if he will be paying for the trip, you will also put his name and how much he will be paying towards your trip on the application form. He will have to attach his bank statement as well as passport and other relevant documents that will be helpful to your application.

On your own end, you will equally have to provide your bank statement/s, both personal and business(at least six months. Although I’ve seen people using less than six months and still get their visa). In the absence of CAC, you can furnish the consular officer with your sales receipts to show the business is in operation, photos of your business, as well as receipts of other bills you pay like shop rent, tax etc. As all these will be used to judge your personal circumstance.

You will also need a letter of absence from your place of work and also a letter from your job showing you’re a staff and how much you earn.

Mind you, for your bank statement, don’t make the mistake of dumping a huge sum of money for the purpose of boosting your account, because the ECO isn’t concerned about how much you have, but the proportionality of the inflow and the outflow in your bank account and how it affects your trip and your personal circumstance here in Nigeria. Lastly, if you receive deposits of your business in your personal bank account, you can indicate in a cover letter.

Hope this helps?

Regards

Ok, if you made the application on behalf of your fiancé,

You can say something like:

To whom it may concern,

I would wish to understand the situation with the visa application I made on behalf of my fiancé.

I did make a paid mail in that regard and the response I got indicated that I would get a feedback within 5 working days. By my calendar, it has been more than 5 working days since the mail and no feedback yet.

It is actually a frustrating situation for me at this point and I would kindly like to be updated on the current situation with this application, as it is already 3 months since submission of application and biometrics.

I await your swift response in this regard.

Thank you.

Hope this helps..

Cheers!

Try bookings.com

Make sure you check for hotels that require payment at the hotel. It’s usually indicated on the hotel you pick.

However, be sure to know that your card details will be needed to complete booking, whether you are paying at the hotel or not. But be rest assured that your card will not be charged until the date of your check in.

Have a pleasant trip!
