Yoms47:

Can you pls give a guide on how to go about it. Thanks.quote author=Yoms47 post=132696500]Thanks i appreciate

You don't have to pick a date to upload

However, you must login via UK website, get redirected to TLS, login to TLS, by picking your Centre, then you'll be taken to the page showing Amend, and tracking.

While you're on that page, open another tab of your browser and insert this link

selfupload.visas/uk.tlscontact.com

You'll be able to upload.

Make sure all documents are uploaded before you click submit, as if you click submit, you'll not be able to upload anymore

As much as I wish to help these guys seeking for dates and not paying more than ₦32,000 to TLS, you guys are not putting effort to either read to understand the process or you're doing the wrong thing.

I just booked for biometrics for 3 people and it's only ₦32,000 I paid to TLS contact per person
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Yoms47: 8:53am On Nov 02, 2024
Pls will appreciate if you can help. Its not that i am not putting an effort but for some reasons its not highlighting checkout. Thanks

To be very honest. Assisted service won't guarantee you getting a close date. Take it from experience. You might "luckily" get a free date but only prime time would guarantee that

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Odbestie: 9:16am On Nov 02, 2024
That means assisted service its 32k while prime time is 76k?

Can you pls help us on how to go about the appointment date. Thanks
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by davodyguy: 10:13am On Nov 02, 2024
Once you're on the TLS contact page, click Amend.

The next page you'll see is STEP 1 where you'll see different services with different prices. Ignore, do not click on any service on this page, just click on Step 2 UKVI

Now you're on page 2. On this page you'll see services with £. Ignore and not click any service on £. Just click Step 3 Book appointment.

Now on Step 3 Book appointment page, you'll see different dates and above those dates you'll see

Assisted service
Self Service.

Click on assisted service.

Then you start clicking on the time slots one by one on the day you wish to go.

When you click on a time slot, it will bring out a prompt at first saying you're paying for service, click yes.

Then the next dialogue box will show you if you want to upgrade to Prime time or Premium Lounge, click No thanks.

If that time is available, it will be loading and will prompt out proceed to Check out and you'll see ₦32,000. If you like that time, proceed to pay with your card.

But if that time is not available, it will not load.

You'll be doing the above steps on all the time slots, until you see anyone that will prompt you to check out.

Some time will not prompt, so you will be doing this continuously until you find a time available and pay only ₦32,000
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Goodiegirl: 10:23am On Nov 02, 2024
I paid around 82k VAT Included

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Jolene474(f): 11:53am On Nov 02, 2024
Good morning, please I’m quite slow to understand stuff. So pardon me for asking again, I just want to get clarity.
I’ve been filling my UK visa form online and my situation is this. I have a “First Bank Savings Account” which my salary is sent to. I take home N650,000 monthly.
Every month I use about N200k, sometimes N240,000 and sometimes N280,000 as monthly expenses due to the inflation currently.
So first, how do I enter my monthly expenses? Do I use the average amount over the last 6 months as the monthly expense?
2. I keep the remaining funds after expenses in this same account, and over the years it has gotten to about N9.4M.
They asked if I have any savings on the form? Should I say Yes and put the N9.4M as savings or I should say “No savings” and continue. ? I feel the N9.4M is savings, or it has to been sent to a separate account for it to be considered as savings? Please kindly elucidate, Thank you all.

That's exactly what I did

Myself, my wife and son are the 3 people I paid ₦32,000 for separately

I did my wife first, did my son's and mine.

Try to select time like 15mins are apart, as you may not be able to choose same time

With this, we would find a way to enter together and do bio same time, saving seriously compared with paying about ₦300k for three of us

😂

Ordinarily, Agents will charge you ₦200,000 for the free information you'll get here.

How much do you earn from this Job monthly? ₦650,000
How much do you spend monthly? ₦300,000

Do you have savings? No
Do you have Pension? No (because you're still active, pension is for pensioners who are retired, but you're still working)

Then attach your state of account showing the ₦9.4m

You don't need to out 9.4m on the form
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Abbebbay: 1:20pm On Nov 02, 2024
@davodyguy Thank you very much,Please can I pick TLSVONTACT UK (IKEJA) instead of UK(VI )because Ikeja is closer to me than VI.

Hope you know you can't change application centre.

Once you pick one, that's final

You're free to choose a place close to you, but this can only be done once and can't be undone.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Choicecarsng: 3:10pm On Nov 02, 2024
Good day gurus in the house.

I have paid for my visa application and have been redirected to TLS site.

I observed that appointments are not possible unless one picks a flex package.

Then for this package I couldn't even pick the time I want only the day.

My question is; can one use naira master card for Payment or it must be dollar card like for visa payment.

The amount I saw is in pounds (76.5) and in naira (100k).

Then there is a warming of separate charges being required by UKVI and TLS contact services, what are those?

Below screenshot.

Thanks @davodyguy for your detailed step by step guide. It was really useful.

1. I couldn't make the payment of N32k with my naira master card. Must it be with that same dollar card used in paying for the visa?

2. I still see other charges on top for UKVI

If you followed my guide here, you'll not see any charges.

Make a scan of all pages with visas, and entry/exit stamps of all the countries you have visited on the old passport. Then upload it as evidence under travel and residency on the TLS website and submit only your new Passport.

Only the new one. You can submit data page of the old one if you have a UK visa in the old passport. Otherwise, not required.

One quick question:

Someone who has 8 years validity left on his international passport, then applies for a 10 year validity visa. When the passport expires after 8years, his visa still has a validity of 2years. Please would he still be able to use that 2years left? If Yes, How?

Please I need explanations, from experience please.

Yes, the visa will be valid for the remaining two years, but he/she will need a new passport. Ensure the person has both passports with them when traveling.
