@Justwise please can you assist me with the question I posted. Thanks

diamondsare4eva:
Thank you frontpagelawyer. Please which is the right visa application a cousin can fill. Is it https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome
or https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk
The visa4uk allows you to set up your account to track your document via TLSContact using the GWF number generated while filling the fom, but for the visas-immigration, it doesn't give you the option. Please help

diamondsare4eva:

Have you tried registering and starting a new application and was unable to do that?

I used the visa4uk but from the drop down, it doesn't indicate visitor,just family. Please which of the link above should I use for cousin

Thank you so very much. This link can be used for a cousin's application right.

Yes ... it is the right link
I have not read your cousin application post.. but i just know that is the right link for uk application.
You will also need to go to TLS contact afterward

The link you are using is the right link but i'm not sure if your cousin is using it properly because it should give you more than one option.

Ok. Thank you, will go ahead with the application using the link you sent. Thank you again

I dont Pay tax on my business. Just d normal buying and selling. But Pay tax from my salary.

Using unregistered business with no tax certificate for visa application will be difficult because there is no way to determine how will your business is doing and how much is your profit at the end of financial year.

So in this case only your salary is the only 'explained' sources of income.

You need to outline your budget for the trip and try to keep it within 2 months of your salary

@Justwise and others, pls i want to submit my uk Tourist Application and my Salary is 250k, and my Balance on my Salary Account is 850k, and this is my budget for 8days visit.
Flight-- ----------- -£530
Accomodation---£264
Living Expence---£400.
pls i hope my balance will be ok for it.
Thanks

justwise:


Bro why would you chose the UK for holiday on that salary? Flight ticket alone will take at least 3months of your salary let alone hotel, feeding and transport within the UK.

So basically you are going to spend almost all of that 500k in few days in the UK.

It will be difficult for you to get a visiting visa on that salary

His salary is okay for visa purposes

abnot:


His salary is okay for visa purposes as I earn close to 110k monthly and still got a 5 year duration uk visa in February 2016 and have since used it to visit the uk for Easter. Although I had a history of 11 visits to uk in the last 5 years when I applied ; don't know if it helped my application

Do you have the same profile?

justwise:


Do you have the same profile?

I don't know if he is a first timer or not but I understand that every application is treated on its own merit with little or know reference to previous travels. Don't know if I'm right though

Greetings to you all,

I am currently filling the UK visa application online, but they require details of hotel reservation.

I have gone online trying to do an hotel reservation but it requires credit card, can anyone advise me how to go about this?

Appreciate your positive feedbacks.

Firstly you are right about every application been treated on its merit.... But previous applications and previous records are considered too... if you over stay your previous visa or you worked while you were not meant to work... it will definitely affect your visa application....

Your salary is on point..... Applicants must show that they have approximately £800 per month for the first two months to cover initial costs. This is maintenance cost. 3 month original bank statements printed from a teller at your local bank..

oanda.com to do you calculation ( lets say approximately 500k) not up to that though.


The most important thing is to show you have things that will bring you back to nigeria....
property documents..... and maybe other relevant document that will show you will be coming back....


If you are employed, you will need the following:
o Letter confirming your employment
 This letter needs to be on a company letterhead
 Needs to be dated
 Needs to state all contact details of your employer
 Needs to state your starting date of employment
 Needs to confirm that permission for leave has been granted
o Confirming travel dates

Payslips (ideally last 3 but 1 is sufficient)


If staying initially at a B ‘n B or hotel:
 Reservation confirmation showing dates booked and contact details

If staying with friends or family:
 Letter of invitation
 Needs to state the date
 Needs to state the address
 Needs to state the invitees contact details
 Can be faxed or scanned and emailed
 Utility or accounts bill sent to the invited address
 Must be in the invitees name
 Lease agreement can be used
 Can be faxed or scanned and emailed
 Copy of invitees passport and/or visa
 To show their legal status in the UK
 Can be faxed or scanned and emailed


Hope that helps.... The rest document you should know what to do ... Good night

I am not a regulated immigration advisor so only giving my own view base on experience and past applications... which should not be relied upon as advice. . If you want advice, contact a registered immigration advisor: http://oisc.homeoffice.gov.uk/

Use your GTB cc to make hotel reservation..... some of the hotels do not need you to pay out-rightly they jsut want you to book. You can try booking.com , they allow booking without payment.

Hi, justwise. Pls Would like to know if 70k as salary,with another source of income ( registered) is good enough to get a visit visa...

It varies, not a fixed amount..... Cos it involves sewing of female outfits and sales of fabrics.....
