Hi,

If you are not in a hurry, I will recommend you wait for 3 months during which you can be deliberate about your disposable income.

That said, if you decide to go ahead, you may want to print your statement from January since it shows significant disposable income. Plus, explain the fluctuations in disposable income e.g. for the May rent, attach evidence of your rent agreement. This can also serve as an indication of your ties to Nigeria. As @cashmadam said, give detailed explanations of your savings and how they they grew over time. Your stocks are a strong pointer to the fact that you are building your networth over time.

Btw, that table you created is a great snapshot. I am not sure why you said your disposable income is 100k given that the table you shared shows an average of 500k.

All the best with your application!

Hello everyone, please, I need some clarification regarding my UK tourist visa application.
I was discouraged about my disposable income, which was pretty low, and i stopped the application, but my friend, who has been to the UK twice, is arguing with me that i will still get it. @cashmadam, @VisaZest, and @giselle237, etc., please, i need your input.

My profile:
Status: Single.
My monthly salary is between #1,750,000 and #1,789,170.80 naira. My bank balance is #6m+.
I have a mutual fund of #6m+, Afrinvest bonds(FGS) of #1m+, for which I get interest frequently.
, Stocks via Bamboo of $1,600+, and savings in Risevest of $2,000+.
I analysed my expenses and realised my disposable income is #100,000+. I did not have any disposable income for May, i spent 2m+ because i paid my rent and monthly bills, which resulted in spending my whole salary and more.

7days trip,
bank balance is #6m+ and $500 in my Dorm account
Budget: £1,300
accommodation: Hostel in London e,g Astor Victoria Hostel
Based on my profile, do i need to proceed with my application or wait for some months.
Travel history: West Africa, 5 days in Ghana, 2 days in Cotonou, a pass-by in Togo

Good morning, pls I want to apply for UK visa,it won't be my first but I haven't applied for one in over 10years,my recent travel history is to the US and I have a valid 5yrs visa which I got last year. My husband would be my sponsor and I would stay with any of my sibling while there. My issue is my bank statement, my monthly earning is about 250 -300k which I get paid from our family business. I receive 500k monthly from my husband to run the home.My questions are; how many months bank statement do I need to submit and would the amount in my account matter since my husband is sponsoring me, if yes, pls like how much should I have? We have 3 kids but I would be going alone. I realise most refusals are due to finance and that has been d discouraging factor since but I want to give it a try. Thanks in advance for your reply🙏

Hello everyone,

Please, is the physical UK visitor visa sticker on the passport sufficient to fly directly from Lagos to London, or a UKVI account needs to be created and visa stickers linked on the system? Has anyone most recently traveled to London from Lagos with the UK visa sticker on their passport? I will greatly appreciate your guidance .

Hi everyone,

I have someone coming to the UK on a Standard Visitor visa. With the move to eVisas, do they need to generate a share code before travelling, or is there nothing else to do as long as their eVisa is correctly linked and up to date?

Has anyone travelled recently under similar circumstances? Thanks in advance.

Please I need direct link to apply for a Spanish visit visa


Gracias in anticipation
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by VisaZest: 12:32pm On Jun 30
Hi,

You are on the wrong thread.

Spanish visit visa is submitted through BLS (a 3rd party like VFS). Google BLS Spain and it should lead you to the link you need.

All the best!

Hi,

If you use the self service option, you only need to upload your documents, you do not need hard copies for your appointment. Follow instructions provided by VFS to upload. Alternatively, if you want VFS to upload, you will need to print all supporting documents and take along. They charge a fee for this.

All the best!

Your past refusal has nothing do with your new application, if the situations or factors for the previous refusal have changed. What were the reasons for your past refusal and have you fixed them? If they still remain, refusal is imminent again!

The person must link the details to UKVI, and get a code before traveling. Digital world now!

Good day, everyone.

Please, I’m currently in the process of applying for a UK spouse dependent visa and would appreciate some guidance.

Could anyone please advise what documents need to be submitted?

Also, I noticed the checklist mentions “all passport pages.” Does this mean I need to scan every single page of my passport, including the blank pages, or just the pages with visas, stamps, and personal details?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone, i need advise. I am applying for a UK visit visa for the first time.

I have collected all my documents, including my payslips, bank statements, and employment verification letter from my employer.

Now, the issue is that my bank account has my home adddres - I use that because it’s my family home. I see a case where someone was denied because the address on the statement is different from the address in the application.

What do you guys advise? changing the addresses now will be a bit of a constraint because the Meter does not have my name as it’s a rented apartment so i can’t use the utility bill at the bank.

Can i add my home address to the list of addresses i have lived in before now? will it count?
