As a way forward, I have done my first 2-years (2013 & 2014) Account Balance and pay the tax already, about going into last year (2015) account and subsequent tax payment b4 June to avoid sanctions. The coy got registered Dec, 2012.

What is tax clearance certificate? Or all I need tender for now is evidence of tax remittance?

What is your purpose of travel?
Are you employed?
How long have you been working?
How much is your monthly salary?
How much will the trip cost you?
How long are you staying?
Are you married?
Do you have children?

Your answers will help assess your application

Why should your uncle sponsor your 'holiday' as a grown up who also has a job? It's as good as dead on arrival.
Why not work on your account and bank on your family plus the ongoing project as a solid tie to Nigeria.
All the best ma

currently I'm not working, not married, no children I'm actually going there to explore probably I can get a PT job before coming home

kaffie2:

Your current status (no work, no children) will actually give you away to the VO as someone who is "going there to explore........get.... Job.... " and base on that, visa will be denied. There is no 2 ways to it.
By the way, how do you want to pay for the flight, hotel,feeding when you are not working?

I've someone who can take care of my needs

Good evening, I need some clarifications, I would be going on leave and would like to visit the UK.my brother is a citizen of UK and intends to write a letter of invitation stating he will take care if my accommodation, feeding and my sister too is ready to be a co sponsor as she is willing to buy my ticket and drop her statement. My brother too will drop his statement. presently I work in one of the commercial banks as a DSA( direct sales agent). They are not paying much at all. Our sakary is at the range of 50k. But the bank is willing to give a letter of introduction, and my leave request! Will this fly!

Yes your uncle can sponsor your trip... But you will have to submit along some documents which must defend visa refusal. But before i can give you my full view i will need answers to this questions..

Who is inviting you ?
Where will u be staying ?

Supporting documents are one of many factors a consular/visa officer will consider for your visa application...

Consular/visa officers look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural and other factors during application. may look at your specific intentions , family situation, and your long range plans and prospect within your country of residence. Each case examined individually and is accorded ever consideration under the law.

Like nairacountry pointed out you its your responsibility to sponsor yourself as an adult and not your uncle. If you can't sponsor yourself then you got no strong tie to Nigeria and that reduces your chances of getting a visa.

The focus will be mainly on your salary and not those who promised to sponsor you. As it stands you don't have a good chance of getting a visa.

It can fly only if you can show strong ties to Nigeria... You will need more than letter of introduction; how long have you been working with the bank?. You need to provide your employment contract. if you have properties or shares you need to attach that. Property documents(optional), Investment documents ( optional) but they are important.

Evidence of family ties

Marriage certificate (if married)

Wedding / Family pictures (if married)

Child(ren) birth certificates(optional)

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

As for who is sponsoring you ..... Needs to provide Much more document But try using the sponsor that you both share last name that will help much more... but if otherwise .. then you will have to show what connects you both. Reasons that you have to go spend your leave with him or her?

Letter of sponsor,
Payslip
Bank statement
Bio data page
Rights ( The BRP or citizenship status)
Birth certificate (optional)


In the additional information box, you will need to explain a lot in there..

Your chances are slim but you can try if you can get this documents.... you have a chance

Good luck

nairacountry is definitely right, you will be denied a visa straight up... so dont waste the application fee... Just explore here more in nigeria and get things sorted

Thanks the bank is giving me an introduction letter, letter of leave, but tie with my brother. Or family what do I need to show, am not married and don't have kids either. My brother and I have same surnames. And off the bank will give me in a letter headed paper. And what can I write in the additional information box. It's owning like 3 or 2 keke worth a property?

Evidence to consider in assessing genuine relationship

In assessing whether there is a genuine relationship, the ECO will consider the nature of the relationship, how you met the person, how often you communicate and by what method you use to communicate.A genuine relationship may generally be presumed when your proposed sponsor is a parent, spouse, child, sibling, or employer. However, it is not sufficient to merely state that you are related to the person without providing evidence of the relationship. In many cases, a birth or marriage certificate identifying you or the proposed sponsor will suffice.

If your sponsor is based in the UK, you must also provide evidence of regular communication or contact by reference to phone records, Whatsapp or Facebook records, email, money remittances, greetings or anniversary cards, etc. The burden to provide evidence of a genuine relationship becomes more pronounced where your proposed sponsor is an aunt, uncle, nephew, niece, cousin, etc. In many cases, official documentary proof of such a claimed relationship may be lacking. You must therefore provide evidence that the person has ongoing financial commitments to you or has previously sponsored other relatives.

For example, the officer may doubt your claimed sponsorship if you submitted documents affirming your uncle’s willingness to pay for your visit, but fail to provide satisfactory evidence of why your uncle will be willing to pay for the cost of your trip when he has not provided you with any previous or ongoing financial commitment or has no history of paying for other family members to visit the UK or elsewhere.

Sponsorship inside the UK

Your friend or relative in the UK may provide you with maintenance and/or accommodation provided they are not in breach of any immigration rule at the time of the decision on your application. In addition, the officer must be satisfied that your sponsor has enough funds available to adequately support themselves and anyone normally dependent on them, as well as you.
It will therefore not be sufficient to merely provide evidence of their bank statements and other supporting documents showing their ability to pay for you. They must explain in their letter the number of any dependents they have, the amount of money they propose to spend on you, and a statement that this should be sufficient to maintain them, their dependents and you.

How long have you worked with the bank ? Need to know that.... Yes owing a KEKE is property

Car registration papers and/or car evaluation
o Confirmation of property ownership – including rates bill
o Investments and/or savings

6-7 months!

Is it contract or permanent or in some case some company uses the word STAFFED worker. Or are you a contract worker?

aodis:

tunderule2016:
Is your contract a permanent contract or in some case some company uses the word STAFFED worker. Or are you a contract worker?

It's not a permanent contract, because that is the means they you in the bank ladder. From DSA, you get ur promotion become a senior DSA the an account officer. So it is part of the bank structure. Any one coming in will go thr the channel. So that why I said they will introduce me as a staff of the bank. I have spoken to my hr!

Ok then if they will then you are fine then. I really do not understand banking structure but what matters most is they need to show that you are a staff on leave. As i have explained before

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

You are fine.... I will advice that in your brother letter, he needs to stress how much he has missed you and how much seeing you is important. Is birth certificate should be submitted and you should also submit too.

Explain about your relationship with you brother in the additional information box. Does your keke bring in returns and is it deposited into your bank account?

The best will be yours IJN..

The most important thing is to do what is right i.e. submitting all required documents. Then leave every to prayer.

The pictures on whatsapp, records of the stipends if you have them and please make sure the pictures have dates , if they do not put it yourself. As for whatspp ( if you can get records that shows date timeline fine, they do not have to see the words in it .. but if you have no choice just print it off like that).

Arrange the documents well. There is a thread that explains how you arrange documents under Travel; read about arrangement.
