Good day everyone,

Well done to all contributing to the forum.
I am currently completing my UK visa application and would appreciate some clarification on the following points:

For the question “Where do you plan to stay in the UK”, am I required to provide hotel booking details and enter the hotel information in that section?

In the section on previous visa refusals outside the UK, if I cannot recall the exact reasons given, can I simply provide the date of the refusal along with the type of visa I applied for?

Regarding previous employment history: as an employee of a government parastatal, should I select the option shown in the image below?

As for where do you plan to stay..if yiu have a host, why not enter their information.

Juxen:
Thank you for your input.

I do not have a host and intend to stay in a hotel. My question is whether it is mandatory to make a hotel reservation and provide the details before submitting the application, or if I can simply indicate that I will be lodging in a hotel without including specific details since I have not yet made a booking.

After a successful email, how long does it take for the passport to be returned via a courier?

CornOak:
Depending on your location, it's usually within 7 working days.

Self employment does not mean she is earning hugely.
In the UK we have self employed individuals earning lower than 1k pounds annually. They do not have to pay tax etc.. they can continue as a one man business etc.
So what exactly is the issue with the self employed part?
She can also be self employed, earning little and therefore not have a business account.
She can be a farmer, a fisherwoman, a petty trader.
Everything is about presenting your circumstances in a way the visa officer understands.
As long as she is elderly and has a sponsor, her profile is 50% good to go, the rest is for you to handle the filling of form and compilation of an adequate profile showing her home ties to complete the other 50%.

Hello everyone I need your honest response and review on the explanation of my financial situation. First time applicant.

I wrote that I earn 500,000 monthly after tax as asked on the application portal. And this is also reflected on my payslip from my regular 9-5.

But I also have additional sources of income from my registered Make-up and wig selling beauty parlour, Rent payment from my tenants, and an investment with an investment company and the income surpasses my salary.

Now, after ticking additional sources of Income to be Investment and another Income on the portal,

I was asked how much is my total regular additional income Annually. I indicated 13million.

To the part of my monthly expenses, I spend around 600k a month as reflected on my bank statement....this actually outweighs my regular salary of 500k and that is because I have other sources of income that come in monthly. and I have seen here that monthly expense is a crucial factor for approval or denial. My current closing balance as reflected on my 4 month Bank statement is 14milllion. and opening balance of 10m.

My question is, is it okay to put a figure that is more than my regular salary as monthly expenses? Especially because I earn more than the 500k salary monthly. And add proofs

Or do I add my additional income with the normal salary and put in that box for monthly income after tax.?


Thank you , as I await your response.

You can request your boss address and use it. Input his full address and phone number, when he will be contacted he will confirm that he is inviting you.No stress.

Trust2021:
Okay are you saying I should not book hotel reservation, I should just stated on the application that I will be staying at my boss house for that duration.

Iamshy:
Hi , I am no expert at all and might be wrong but reading through some instances here , I think you should have been the only sponsor of the trip. Also you’ve not shown enough ties to home country in form of dependents, marriage , landed properties , proof of occupancy, community involvements and the likes.

Greetings Experts!!

I would appreciate your honest advice on the next steps to take after receiving my third UK refusal.

I have attached the reasons of my refusal this time around.

I would like to know if I can reapply immediately and explain the reason for the low opening balance which was due to the fact I just paid my rent and child's school fees? and also now submit my recent 6 months statement with a higher opening balance of N5M and closing balance of N13M in my salary account.

I do have a well established business and pay myself regularly every month.

I was rejected in 2019, 2022 and just recently. This will be my 4th UK visit application and I would like to make it perfect this time to address their concerns with my account statement.

Thanks for your time!

Cashmadam:
Sorry about this.

With three previous refusals,I stronly suggest you leave the UK for now and try other Countries. You can try Schengen visa.

If you try again, you might get another refusal.

nairabase:
I do have a good travel history.

I got a Schengen visa through France and I have been to Qatar, Singapore, and Dubai.
