Please guru in the house. What is the appointment date available for Lagos now at Ikeja or VI
Only those that have recently paid for their visa application can answer that. You have to pay for the visa application before you can view dates that are available.

Good evening house, it's been a while here.

Please I have a question and I need directions. I have obtained 3 UK visit visas and I've used all successfully staying a maximum of 3weeks, I don't stay more. I have visited the UK like 5 times from 2024 till date. These visas were gotten with an invitation letter from my elder sister. Now her stay will expire by January 2026.

How best can I renew my visa? A friend invite or tourism?

Directions are needed, thank you!

You really don't need an invite to get a visit visa. As it stands, your travel history to the UK has stood you in good stead. You can take the tourism route. I'll advise you go for longer term visa say 5 or 10years, you're eligible

Next time you renew book a hotel and state your going for tourism. I'm assuming you were your own sponsor.

I do hope the 5 times you have gone sinxe 2024 were short visits o

Pls get long term visa next time
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by sanyaolurilwan(m): 6:35pm On Sep 10, 2025

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by sanyaolurilwan(m): 6:36pm On Sep 10, 2025
Yes I've always sponsored myself

I have never stayed more than 3weeks for the whole times I've been to the UK. This year alone, I've been to the UK 3 times.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Ayobami227: 9:30am On Sep 11, 2025
Good morning experts,

Please for hotel booking confirmation, the hotels I am seeing are having £1000 total for five days .

My visa application is for five days for tourism and my entire proposed budget is £1300 is it too small?

How can I get cheaper hotel booking confirmation so I attach with my application?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by sanyaolurilwan(m): 10:11am On Sep 11, 2025
Yes you do, except you have a Canadian, USA, Schengen or Japanese Visa

Just write that you will personally spend 100 pounds while your sponsor will spend the rest of the expenses.
So if i understand you clearly, in the portion for how much i will be spending personally, i need to put 100 pounds and in the portion for how much my sponsor is spending on my trip i can put the rest? The pictures i attached is the current status of the application @cashmadam

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by nocodeboss: 5:17pm On Sep 11, 2025
Also if someone could help me with a template of the letter which i can use to explain my changed circumstances per the last rejection

From what you uploaded, the total cost of the trip is 5,500 pounds. Which is wrong.


So 100 pounds is what you personally will contribute. Then the rest is what your sponsor will contribute. Make sure this is consistent with what is in your cover letter and financial sponsor letter.

RWP 6.1
RWP 6.2

When did you receive the mail? When will your 10 working days expire?
You should be done by the 5th day.

I can help you out.
Provide a channel we can talk.
I'll tag you to an email address.


For the RWP 6.1, you need a Police Clearance certificate.
Possap (dot) gov (dot) ng
> Get started.
> Select Police Clearance certificate
Fill all details.
Select the police station in your state.
Fill it by 1,2am, so by 7,8,9am, you'll get an invite. If the invite doesn't come till 12, head to the station to get it done. You'll pay about 30k onsite and tip not more than 20k.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by uchman(m): 11:22am On Sep 14, 2025
wttsven:
Doesn't matter , Your monthly income doesn't affect that because it is what you declare to FIRS that determine your VAT. whatever you pay is good. have been doing 14k for over a year now!

The main point is you are paying your tax and you have receipt for it.

How many years tax certificate is required?
