Africankel:
Disposable income 50k? Meaning you spend over 320k from your salary every month? This is an automatic refusal, as the cost of your trip is 15 times your disposable income.

Secondly be sure not to have unexplained deposits in your account.

sorry...I mean disposable expenditure

you are correct.
I mean disposable expenditure

Hi Everyone,
I want to briefly share my UK visa application experience and also wish everyone can comment and advise me to get it right. I'm married and have kids. my family in Nigeria.

In June 2021, I came back to Nigeria for my vacation from Saudi, where I'm based and working (4yr Residency) I applied for a UK visa (6months,my first time)
Did the application myself
.
in my application
*salary/month- N227,000
*Disposable expenditure/month-N70,000
* Money I want to spend for the trip--N750,000
*Opening a/c balance - 1.5m
*closing a/c balance-3m
*15days trip

I was denied!!!
Reason:
* other deposits seen in my salary a/c (document I provide doesn't demostarte origin of the funds)
*Proposed budget N750,000 is 3times my monthly salary
*My expenditure not credible .



Now 2023.
i want to re-apply now .
*Opening a/c balance -3m
*closing a:c balance -5m
*salary/month now -370,500
*disposable expenditure /month -50k (wife working now
*Proposed budget -N750k
*7days trip

Please,what do you guys advise me to do,I really want to get it right now. Am presently on 2months vacation back in Nigeria.

@giselle237 and @tutu82, your honest input will also go along way
Thanks

If your monthly spend is 50k, then your budget of 750k is good to go. However, ensure there are no other unexplained deposits in your account aside your stated income.

Good morning.

If you have corrected all the reasons for the first refusal it should work this time for example you earn a bit more that is one good thing.

However,You are based in Saudi for now why are you not applying from there instead of when you come to Nigeria on vacation?.Would someone write you a letter of invitation and thus reduce your 7days accommodation needs which would be about £500.

-Currency conversion and Tickets have risen so do the maths as 750k is barely £800 and will not cover your expenses if all inclusive.

Glory to God, 2 years Visa for my parents collected this morning.
We invited them over for a 4months trip, POF is about 9k GBP for both.
Submitted on 15th June, biometric on 20th June.

Congratulations! What center did they do the biometrics?

Your travel document (and supporting documents, if applicable) are now ready for collection at the TLScontact Visa Application Centre, Abuja.

Just got this mail now, and I’m extremely nervous. I applied with my parents for a visitors visa, they got their email 10 days ago, hopefully this is positive

Hello house, I submitted an application for my wife and kids on the 31st of May. I did paid call on the 5th of July and I was made known that decision has been made on my wife's application on the 22nd of June but I have not yet received a mail to that effect. But decision has not been made on my kids application yet.

Me and my wife had two boys before we did court marriage and had our daughter after court marriage.

Please can anyone give an Idea why we still haven't got decision on the kids application and why they haven't sent any mail as regards decision already made on my wife's application thank you.

Yes you're very correct and I appreciate the insight you gave .
I've a childhood friend in based in UK, aside providing me with an invitation letter, what other documents do you think it's necessary he should add.to it? Thanks

Besides his letter of invitation you would need a copy of his data page and his recent utility bill (examples are council tax,electricity,gas,water).
Uk license also shows address so he could add that too.

Can someone with knowledge of the UK tax system please help me shed light on this my pay slip from the same company. The increase in the tax for previous month salary and the current month is what I don't understand. Thank you

if u have overpaid or underpaid tax, HMRC will send u a letter at the end of the tax year. Tax year runs from April 6th to April 5th of the next year. They will calculate everything your employer has remitted. U can open an account for urself on the hmrc app to keep tabs on things

Also look at the Tax code on your payslip to be sure it has not changed or that your increase in salary did not move you to the higher percentage.
It could be a number of things really,then ring hrmc or go online to open your own account.
