It didn't work cos of the Pounds Sterling that was showing.

Naira card works for Naira payment

Below is the screenshot of how it shows here.

Is this how it's supposed to show?

Then what card should I use as I tried using my GTB naira card but it's not accepting it?

Did you pick VI? You need a dollar card to pay for the fee in Pounds.

My basket is showing £76.5 for UKVI
N32,000 for TLScontact services.

Is this normal please?

Yes VI?

Does it mean I have to pay that £76.5 and the N32,000

Yes. The 76.5 pounds is a seperate fee for using VI. You need a Dollar Card to pay for that and a Naira card for the N32,000

As posited, the £ needs either a £,$, or € card for payment, while the ₦32,000 requires ₦ card.

You need to use the card used in paying visa fee to pay £76 and another card for ₦32,000

I already explained how you guys can avoid paying ₦82,000 to TLSConTact

Visa fee of $155 @₦1700 is almost ₦300,000.

Why can't you save funds that'll be available for use, when even getting the visa is not automatic?

1. @ davodyguy but you told me it is only 32000 naira only ,why am I seeing another payment of £76 again.I don't have that pounds money oo. Is the £76 for using vi location ?..

2.please I hope Ikeja location doesn't require this payment in £...Maybe I should choose Ikeja and pay only 32000.

Please shed more light before I go and make a mistake.
Thanks

You by yourself picked VI instead of Ikeja

People have said it here that VI is premium only.

Don't blame people trying to help you for your own error

It's clearly stated on the TLS website that you can't change application centre.

I didn't tell you to pick VI.

Our advice is how to select a date for Biometrics for ₦32,000

TLS Contact is deliberate about how they did their site that you can hardly get free date

If you wish to reschedule your appointment, you must first reconnect to your account on gov.uk, via the link in the e-mail from gov.uk when you completed your application form.

From gov.uk you will be redirected to our website. Click on My Account and then Amend to change your appointment date. Do not forget to confirm the new appointment date at the Check-out phase.

Once you have selected one of our centres, via the gov.uk website, you unfortunately cannot change this. Your only option is to cancel your application, through the gov.uk website and make a new application, at a different TLScontact centre.

I need a UK tourist visa. On the webpage, I saw $580 as the visa fee for two years application.
Please what happens to the money if I'm denied visa?

Sope otí lọ

Read T&C

$580*₦1700 = ₦986,000

Under the T&C, visa fees are non refundable.

If they give fine, if they refuse, it's gone

Visa fees are none refundable after decision has been made.

How to avoid right? Don't apply or apply and have faith

Hello Atinuke

Did your lawyer send the PAP or did you type it yourself

Atinukemi23:
l

We challenged the ECO decision last month for reconsideration, like I said previously it is not all the ECO that knows what he or she is doing, some roasted me for that statement, I have seen so many refusals that made absolute no sense, they are humans, they have hormones too we have the bad eggs among them who just refuse you based on flimsy excuse(s).
I didn’t take the second refusal likely, as there was no difference between the previous refusal which was last year, and the this recent one and it is based on financial grounds( enough sufficient funds with proof). (Looked more like a copy and paste to me ) Pre action protocol (PAP) was sent to the home office giving them 14days to reconsider before taking it further to court for JR.
They responded on the 14th day and yes a senior caseworker in his/ her right senses looked at the evidence submitted and he/she did agreed it was sufficient enough to grant the entry clearance visiting visa in the first place.
If we had accepted fate and re - apply the third time it MAY be refused again and that is too much dent, although they claim every new application(s) is decided based on its merit but I do not want to believe they do not look at your past history with them in concluding.
So fingers crossed on when my aunt and her children will be asked to bring their passports, it shouldn’t take up to 3months sha.
Sometimes you just have to push some buttons.
Don’t let the refusal bring you down, but first, do the right thing.
And good luck to everyone.

Good evening guys,
My friend's wife is inviting her mum to the UK on visit visa. Due to proxy, she chose VI. her biometrics is due a week from today. She said she want to change the biometric date. when she clicked on amend, she was asked to pay another 32k for assisted service. Is she on track? On the submitted application, she said her mum will be coming first week of December. From the look of things , that is impossible because she plan picking a date after that for biometric. Please, we need advice whether to cancel the application or just change the biometric date?

I'm not sure why she is being charged another N32K...

The conflicting dates might be an issue..

I suggest she picks a biometric date in November.

Change biometric date.

But be prepared to pay another ₦32,000 cos it's clearly stated on that same page where you see Amend, that the first ₦32,000 is not refundable

So yes, she can amend.

I'll share a screenshot now.

However, if she has quoted a different date in the submitted form, she could get into trouble as Cashmadam suggested.

You can cancel the application, apply for refund and start a fresh application

Hi, please who has same experience, I did biometrics on 14th Oct, got a mail that my application is with DMC on 17th, but up now no decision mail has been received, what does this mean ? anyone has same experience?

Hello All, Good day.

I make a withdrawal of my salary(I work remotely and get paid through geegpay) to my gtbank account but send the bulk to my opay and get most of my other funds on opay.

Can my statement of account from opay be used for my visit visa application?

DHL Has just been giving me headache

Berisagurl:
It was exactly same for me….I was always refreshing my mail and praying I don’t receive another mail aside from the collection mail, lol. Go and collect your passport, It’s a good sign your mum has been granted visa.

hi, was that the case for you, that you got it approved, since you didnt received another email?

Olubunmi101:
Hi sis,I received a collection email for my mum's visa yesterday. I'm yet to receive the decision email. Does it mean her visa has been granted? Or should I wait for the decision email before she goes to pick up her passport?

Hi Olubunmi,

did not receiving another email meant an approval?

@olubunmi please when did your mum do her biometrics?
To answer your question Yes, it means her visa has been granted.

Please has anyone experienced this?; A week ago i did paid call to UKVI, I was told a decision has been made on my application and that i will receive a letter from them shortly. Today I called again when i did not receive any letter and the TLS tracker failed to move, they said the decison has been withdrawn and my application has gone back to 'awaiting approval'. Please house any ideas why this is so?

When will the transition be complete?
The UK plans to gradually phase out physical documents by 2025. However, the law firm Bindmans says that visas stuck into passports will continue to be issued beyond 2024.



What happens to existing visas?
All UK vignettes remain valid until their expiry dates.

Biometric 11th Oct
Collection mail 1st Nov
Dhl delivered on 4th Nov

Document submitted.

Employment letters, offer letters, confirmation letters, introduction letters, visa requests, and annual leave letters.

Your uncle, is he first cousin to one of your parent or a distant one?

And did you have to prove serious relationship between you?

Cos, I know how it's not easy convincing ECO.

Please share that part
