Hello Guys.
Please, someone help me with a sample of cover letter for Tourist Visa. I have tried searching through some of the pages, but can’t seem to find it.
Also, due to error in conversion from Naira to GBP, I over estimated my Savings by about 2,000 pounds. Can I explain this in my cover letter or I need to cancel my application and refill? My Biometrics is on Friday, July18.

Many Thanks.

Hi all, I’m planning to fly with British Airways and would like to bring homemade frozen soup. Can I pack it in my carry‑on if it’s completely frozen solid, or does it need to go in checked luggage?
Thanks in advance for any tips or experiences!

giselle237:
Checked in luggage only!

I and my family did biometric at Ikeja on 27th June ,no update yet.
We are just hoping the visa is out on or before 18th as my husband is traveling .

lolly8937:
I just received the refusal letter
I and the children were refused because my husband application was refused but I do not understand the reason for his refusal
An agent did it for us and put his pension as other income ..Please note the exact amount is what he received as pension yearly .
I am wondering is it a mistake from the agent ,is pension meant to be as other income ?
We also uploaded 6months pension statement
Are we meant to upload one year ?
They didn’t state other reason for denial
What can be done ?
Please note my husband has been to Barcelona ,Maldrid ,Kenya ,Ghana ,Singapore and Dubai and we have also travelled together to Singapore and Dubai as family
He’s also a house owner in Lagos with another landed property in ogun state which we submitted.

Please my people help analyze it so we can know if to reapply or send an email to them and if it’s an email we should send ,kindly provide us the email address
We just need suggestions because I felt we met all the requirements

jmoore:
Change agent.

lolly8937:
Yes I know we need to change agent but what was wrong in this application ?
What’s our best way out ?
Should we reapply or send an email ?

When booking your flight, you can pay in Naira on Nigerian platforms like Travelstart or Wakanow. Alternatively, you can use your card, but be aware that most banks like GTBank for example limits transactions in USD to $4,000 per quarter.

Make sure to bring essential documents, such as proof of admission and proof of funds, as you may be asked for these at the point of entry.

Also, you don't need to take any vaccinations; you're good to go!

Was there any supporting document to back the pension that was uploaded?

Hi, I'm really sorry for the outcome of your visa, it can be frustrating. However, I think the problem results from your financial claims viz-a-viz the evidence provided. You need to show a bank statement that support your claim for example the one that show your monthly salary as claimed. This will convince them beyond resonable doubt that you are genuinely capable of sustaining yourself financially when you arive.

I advice you check your bank statement side-by-side with the information you provided. If you have this evidence, recently or previously, you can appeal the decision and attach a new financial statement that support the information you submitted.

I hope you understand?

lolly8937:
Yes there was ,we uploaded a 6months pension statement as advised by the agent but I think we could’ve uploaded 1year.

giselle237:
The 9.3m you stated as other income. Is this the pension? The little I know you are not in receipt of pension income until retirement or until you discontinue pension contributions then you can withdraw it less the tax/penalty amount, so how are you in receipt of this 9.3m as other income?

Hello Guys,

In my itinerary, I listed some tours that I'll be going on. Is it compulsory to attach booked tickets or reservation of the tours? I tried to make a reservation for the 'pay later' option, but my card is being declined. What do I do?
