when the previous visa expires and another is applied and issued

Ceejay2:


Also they said give more details what should I write?

Newsolutions:



No,please don't pay. Let them tag along. The crowd is manageable. If they insist when you get there then you can pay. But nothing of such. Just arrange your documents well and book normal appointments for them. Each of you need appointment

Ashirioluwa:


Boy, you have a lot to do to convince them that you're a genuine traveler because someone else sponsoring an adult traveler is somehow questionable. So many red flags.

A relative is sponsoring your vacation trip with £5000. That figure is also on the high side.

Anyway, nothing is impossible.

Mrmoney90:


5k pounds is too much o… that might even be a strong ground for your refusal. Just say 1500

Ashirioluwa:


The amount to write there, according to some of the Nairaland visa counselors, is £1.

The way I understand this question is different from the way other gurus tackle it. Anyway, I am not an expert when it comes to visa applications.

I normally write the cost of the trip, then explain in the cover letter who is (are) paying for the trip and why they are doing so, then back it up finally with a "Letter of Support" from the sponsor.



Please what exactly is this cover letter. I’m sorry but this is my first time applying. Thank you 🙏

MayCar:
Please is it possible for someone who is on a visiting visa renew their Nigerian passport at the embassy in the uk?

Oluwaloniglory7:
Good evening house

Please is Tenancy agreement for rented apartment compulsory? NO, are you a landlord?

Is 520k fair for flight budget to apply for visit visa ? Yes, depending on the month you wish to travel. Remember this is a budget, you are not expected to have the exact figures.

Under where I will upload cover letter? When uploading your documents after booking appointment.

Lastly how much is 6month visa fees in dollar? Someone that paid recently can advise you on this.

Thanks

Ashirioluwa:


A cover letter or introduction letter is not mentioned in the list of required documents for a visa application, but it’s still very important to write one.

The cover letter introduces you and the purpose of your travel.[b][/b] It states every important thing you want to tell the consulate. It is also used to explain the documents you're planning to submit with your application.

The application does all that itself, and the additional comment section is sufficient enough to fill up things. The talk of this cover letter has become too often yet it is quite inconsequential

Ashirioluwa:
I saw this on the GOV.UK website

9. Documents you should not use as evidence

Some types of documents are less useful as evidence in visit applications. These include:

- Bank statements or letters issued more than 1 year before the date of application
- Credit card statements
- Driving license
- Educational certificates that are not listed as required for your visa
- Evidence of car ownership
- Personal photographs
- Notarial certificates
- Business cards
- Hotel bookings
- Flight bookings (unless transiting)
- Photocopies of bank cards
- Certificates relating to leisure activities, for example, sports trophies
- Travel Insurance
- Sponsor’s utility bills
- Sponsor’s council tax bills

You may be asked to provide additional information by a decision maker.

It really baffles me when I saw hotel booking and sponsor's utility bills among the list of documents we should not use as evidence.
