But even a rookie UK ECO will not grant a visa in your circumstances.
Take your time to digest your refusal letter.
You want to go for a vacation? You don’t have funds, you depleted your account so what kind of vacation will that be? The trip is not compulsory.
If you paid school fees and all your expenses that means you had nothing to fall back on few months ago and next moment you decided to go on a trip which will not add any value to you just for the sake of… they can not issue such a visa.
You could have at least submitted the statement of account after you had funds not from when your opening bal was 209k for a CEO earning millions as you wrote since 2016. It does not just add up and this is the issue I have on this thread with people just expecting stories to be picked up and accepted by the ECO hook, line and sinker because we said it. No proof, no clear reasons, no clear evidence.
You can come in, seek asylum and start benefiting from tax payer funded benefits as clearly the business that dropped to 200k can not be a home tie.
Also if truly you have been earning these millions since 2016 as you stated, how come
1. Your travel history is non existent- again Dubai and Qatar do not count to the US or UK visa officer in 2025.
2. The France visa was when?
3. Someone earning these millions in the last 9 years surely would have had multiple trips to one of the first world nations.
4. Worst thing working against you was already you had 2 to 3 prior refusals… they reduce chances especially if you are not an elderly applicant or a financially/economically secure applicant eg been in a salaried role.
5. Your circumstances are wishy washy and neither here or there and very risky for any visa officer to say on a balance of probabilities you would come back.
This is why you were denied.
Do not reapply.
If you want to go back, put in an official complaint and use that one maybe your goal can enter because you might be lucky but not to reapply. You will be denied again.

With a profile like yours, a refusal can be annoying. It's a constant reminder that visa approvals are totally at the discretion of the embassy. You can do everything right and still be refused a visa for the most flimsy excuse, it comes down to the consular officer treating your application.

If you are not pressed for time, I would recommend seeking redress by way of filing a complaint or Pre-Action Protocol. However, a faster option would be to put in another applciation and taking time to address the concerns raised in the refusal letter. Since the money went into paying rent and school fees you can show proof of the expenditure. Those expenditures allude to strong ties.

Your refusal is quite annoying to say the least. It's not enough to show bank statements, one now has to explain the circumstances of the statement. This is the reality of a visa applicant in Nigeria

All the best in whatever route you choose to explore.

Thank you for your candid advice and honest feedback!

I plan to submit another application with a well-written cover letter that addresses their concerns and provides additional proof.

And, if that doesn't fly, I will consider filing an official complaint. Can you please provide a guide on how to file a complaint?

Thank you!

Good morning, great people,
I had my TB test in February to expire August 27th in preparation of traveling to the UK last May but the admission was differed to September. For my Visa processing on August 11th, I uploaded the same TB test cert as it was still valid then and thank God my VISA was approved.
My question is, is it safe to travel with this expired TB test because I learnt immigration do ask for some of this thing? Will it still be tenable or I should do another test before I travel?
Thank you.

Anticipated travel cost is 1,800 pounds.

Sponsor has sent up to 5 Million naira in installments to the applicants bank account.
So what should be written in.
How much you are you personally going to spend?
How much will the sponsor pay towards the trip?

giselle237:
Why the multiple payments? Any reason why sponsor’s account could not be provided?
Personally will still be £1
How much will be provided £1799
In the additional information section of the form and the cover letter- expantiate on what you have done to give the ECO clarity.
