Hi house. Please, does all these UK tourist visa come as Multiple entry visa especially if one specifically needs it? - all UK tourist visas are mutliple entry.

Does the UK require Travel insurance and flight booking? NO

Also, if one needs to write exam there with proof/s, land, some family ties, GOOD bank statement ( due to several yrs of pooled family funds on investments in my account, since I run it) and no work ties) plus definitely coming back from UK hope one stands a chance for tourist visa?

Surely, your wife should have some savings...

Although you will be her sponsor, she must be seen to have some degree of financial independence . Her income is low and her disposable income is extremely low. At this rate, it might be better to say she is a full time house wife.

onile1975:
She can not apply as full house wife because she was been denied in August as a self employed in Hairdresser salon job with monthly income of #65000 and living expenses of #50000, She was denied on the fact that the living expenses those not reflect on her account,I also submitted my account as the sponsor, she is now running new account by paying her salary into her account and withdraw #50000 has her monthly expenses.
And the eco said, her circumstances must change if she want to apply again. She just came back from Ghana by road last week,and we are planning to apply for her next year with two children,so with Ghana trip, can it increase her chance of getting it next year?Or what do you think we can do to boost her chance of getting it next year?
Or what of , if her salary is increase to 250k? Will it boost her chance?

@ Cashmadam thanks a lot

Ok, I get. Ghana will not add value as far as travel history is concerned. She can travel to Dubai or Qatar.

Her income is simply too low. Perharps if her income increases to N300k, it might help. I say might because other factors determine the outcome of the application.

Or what of , if her salary is increase to 250k? Will it boost her chance?

I tried to ask Meta AI

I own a company as principal director and sole signatory, but for purpose audit, I pay myself salaries and would state how much I earn from the business monthly.

Should I click self employed or
Employed (employee of company)

@olanrewaju

Of course she has four children and husband has strong home tie also she is a chorister in the church,is this not enough tie?

The means of support has a traceable source.
If the way I filled there application form is okay,then the sky is ur limit

Thegamingorca:
Why must you assume her expenses must increase?

Leave it at 50,000 or go lower. Ensure that after every month she has more than 250,000 naira out of her salary left as disposable income. It makes her look responsible, frugal. It will make her look like somebody who indeed is planning for a travel without recourse to use public funds.
250k is less than 100 pounds with today's oanda rates.


Even if you sponsor her at the end of the day, her discipline on the account will no doubt give her an edge or a pass on the financial aspect of the application.

Employed as manager works perfectly. However if you want to go through the CEO route you'll need tax returns, cac certificate and other shyte

As a company owner with employees, you would typically be considered self-employed for UK visa application purposes.

Here's why:

1. Immigration Rules: According to the UK Immigration Rules, a person is considered self-employed if they are "in business on their own account".

2. Company Director: As a company owner, you are likely a director of the company, which is considered self-employment.

3. HMRC Classification: HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) classifies company directors as self-employed for tax purposes.


However, there might be exceptions. If you receive a salary from your company and do not have control over the business, you might be considered employed.


To clarify:


1. Check your employment contract.
2. Consult with an immigration lawyer or UK Visa and Immigration expert.


When filling the UK visa application form:


1. Select "Self-Employed" as your employment status.
2. Provide business registration documents.
3. Submit tax returns and company accounts.
4. Include a letter explaining your business and role.


Remember to check the specific requirements for your visa category and seek professional advice if needed.

I currently have a 2-year UK visa which is due to expire soon. I have used it 2ce and plan to use it again before it expires

I will be applying for a 10year UK visa immediately i return. I've taken my time to go this thread all the way to Part 4, and it's seems the idea is to go through the same process as previous UK visa application(successful application) with updated documents. From my findings so far, it seems people who applied for long term visas be it 2, 5 or 10years all got approvals based on their previous success and having used their previous visas without overstaying or defaulting on any immigration policy.

My question is are there people with previous UK Visas who applied for long term visas and got rejected, despite following the same process that previously got them a visa approval and what was the reason for the refusal?

Gurus in the house please I'll need your wealth of experience

Richdiamond000:
Hey guys. Please the 6 month’s account statement for UK tourist visa application

Can I use the monthly statement sent to my email by my bank or it must be the one gotten from the bank branch ?

davodyguy:
Thanks

But I'm not adding tax returns unfortunately and you know the reason.

Even the richest billionaire in Nigeria, we're told pays only ₦20million per annum, where's he's supposed to be paying close to that ₦20million monthly.

So, tax is not commensurate with actual earnings

Cashmadam:
It is best to get the 6 months as one statement - printed or downloaded as a single document.

Richdiamond000:
The ones sent to my email monthly, I can merge all of them as one document
Can it suffice

bharkarh:
Hi Everyone,
I just received confirmation from the Home Office regarding my visa application which was successful.
However, there appears to be a discrepancy with the visa end date. The Home Office has indicated the last date as 12th October 2026, whereas my Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) states 23rd June 2027.
Can anyone kindly advise on the steps I could take to address this with the Home Office?
