@ cornoak thanks for response

If we choose self download of documents is compulsory we pay money to vsf before we cash out or submit to print appointment letter

borryworld:
Thank you so much for this response.

Will I need to pay for the visa fees before I could proceed to upload document on VAC site?

CornOak:
Pay visa fee on UKVI website » Go to VFS website » Select your free appointment date » Select self upload (free) » Complete your booking » Appointment letter will be forwarded to your email » Upload your documents afterwards.

onile1975:
@ cornoak thanks for response again

Is there specific requirements size of each document it can take per download?

CornOak:
5mb max per upload. PNG, PDF, JPG are the accepted file extensions.

davodyguy:
For those with valid UK visa, you can apply for KSA and Qatar E visa as a Nigerian national

onile1975:

Pls how much in pounce is accepted by (eco) to budget for 7day holiday visit? Flight+hotel+food+transport+attraction

sanyaolurilwan:
Apply for Saudi online, you would wait forever to be approved, but you can get visa on arrival, I applied online, it wasn't approved, then I got visa on arrival at the port of entry. I was told to cancel the online application and request for refund.

Qatar: I heard they have cancelled that for Nigerians, you can only apply through accredited agents, not sure how true it is.

Nairae:
Good day house. On VSF, if you self upload which is free, then proceed to submit after uploading, will you pay any fees to attend the biometric

Are you suppose to go with photocopies or originals of uploaded documents?

My third question is about the checklist. Am I suppose to take it to VSF or upload it.

CornOak:
1. You will book the Biometrics first before you can self upload any documents. Regardless, you're not paying a dime unless you wish to pay for the courier return.

2. No, if you successfully completed the upload online. The only document required for your biometrics are – your appointment letter, a photocopy of your passport data page, and your original passport.

3. No, VFS won't accept it as it's not needed. You can upload it as part of your documents, however, it's not necessary.

Good luck.

With a valid UK visa, you will get KSA visa on arrival.

Ive been to Saudi Arabia before, but just want to get for my family.

My UK visa expires in June and I want to visit Riyadh around August. How feasible is the visa on arrival, considering that my UK visa would have expired at the time of entry?

What's your experience with this?

3 Are you required to go with the OLD passport that has visa?

4. Are you required to bring printed passport photograph?

Visainfo Ukvi, has just invited me for interview after I don my biometric this week, please you guys at least tell me if some one reach this stage what to expect that day, I apply for work visa

CornOak:
Typically, they will ask you questions pertaining to:

1. Your job role/tile, technical information about the job, details of the UK employment contract, how you found the work, the salary package, and more.

2. Education, skills, and previous work experience
3. Motivation, home ties, financial situation
4. UK accommodation details
5. Personal background information (please know all the details on your application form)
6. Immigration history

Be ready to spend at least an hour on the call. Be prepared and ensure there are supporting evidence to strengthen your claims. Importantly, use AI tools to curate possible interview questions based on the key areas above.

Please, as much as you can, try to stay calm and give honestly correct answers. NEVER give rehearsed answers, rather, let your words flow naturally. In addition, you may be asked the same questions multiple times at different intervals to see if your response would change, don't fall for it.

Lastly, visit YouTube to watch videos and learn from others who have gone through the same process. Above all, there's nothing to fear, as long as you're a genuine applicant, you will get your visa.

All the best.

Travel time is later after visa must have expired.

Actually looking at getting E visa while the UK Visa is still valid

Fatliga2025:
Did biometric on the 9th of January,
Received confirmation email: 9th.
But up till now no response, and is more than 3 weeks now

I don't think the e-visa still works. About a year ago I needed to travel for business, so I went to the embassy in Abuja to enquire. The gentleman who attended to me said they no longer issued business visas (not sure if this includes tourism). He however advised that I reached out to my business partners in KSA to speak with the MFA who'd in turn reach out to the embassy in Nigeria to issue me a visa. Alternatively, if I had a visa for the UK, US, Canada or Schengen, I could get visa on arrival. So I had to travel using my Canadian visa.

You should go when your visa is valid and all your first-degree family can also get 1yr tourist visa on arrival with your UK visa, but the UK visa must be valid. So August isn't an option, except you get another UK visa and use it again.
