After you complete the application form and pay, there's an option to save the completed application form, which you can upload as one of your supporting documents.

Hi all,

Do I carry along all the documents I uploaded to the VFS office during biometrics? Apart from my Int'l passport, what other mandatory documents are required, please?

Thank you for your helps.

Please How much will they Charge for Courier service to Like Delta
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by b31164707: 10:32am On Feb 12, 2025
Not sure. You can find out by including the courier service as one of the additional services provided by VFS before you pay to use the VFS application center for biometrics.

Visa Alert
Mum's visiting visa
Had 6 months visa which expires this month - Visited for 2 months
Decided to apply for 5 years after the initial 6 months visa
Biometrics 28th January
VFS collection mail 7th February
Passport collected with visa vignette 8th February
I submitted my bank statements in both applications. She did not submit any bank statement as she is retired.
So, I can confirm that you can apply for a longer term visa after the initial 6 months visa. I have ILR so that probably made it easier.

This is most likely an approval if no prior rejection mail from UKVI. Go pickup your passport for confirmation.

Congratulations .

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Gd0007(m): 9:09am On Feb 13, 2025
Good day, everyone. I need quick advice regarding my UK visa application. I've decided to include my wife in the application, and I have a closing balance of ₦10 million.

Here’s my estimated budget:

Air tickets for two: ₦2.8 million

Hotel: ₦1 million (or We may stay with my brother)

Feeding and other expenses: ₦1.5 million


Total: ₦5.3 million

Would this closing balance be sufficient for the application?

Haha I know right? I guess my strong ties to Nigeria, financial situation and the fact that I've been to the UK twice in the last 10 years made them overlook a minor calculation error in my cover letter. Thank you!
