Whether business or pleasure, it is important you submit your business documents as a company owner which includes registration certificate, tax clearance certificate, contract documents, award letters, receipts, invoices and what have you.
It will be almost impossible to get a visa without your company's Tax Clearance Certificate. The entry clearance officer can only evaluate and determine the financial strength and capacity of your company through its Tax clearance. The TCC is also the only document that confirms your company is legitimate and in compliance with government tax requirements.
If the FIRS no longer issue TCC no newly registered companies; you should be able to explain the situation concisely to the officer. The onus will be on you to arm yourself with overwhelming ties and prove to the ECO that your trip is genuine and you will return back to your home country at the end of your temporary stay as every application is judged fairly, rigorously, transparently, and on its merits.

Will the applicant be submitting

a. Only copies?
b. Original and Copies?
c. Originals only?

Thank you.

aodis:


I have got the visa! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

ronvlaar:

pls check and attend to my mail, thank u

nairacountry:


I agree with you sir. However, his coy might as not yet qualified for TCC having not paid any coy nor edu tax, being that they r still running within their first year of corporate existence and still have 6months grace to compute it's P&L cum balance sheet before filling and pay for its first accounting year TAX.
However, this may be the owner's undoing. Why would a coy owner who is just less than a year in bizniz want to go for vacation? It's dicey, LET HIM GIVE IT A SHORT with genuine application and be sincere when the call may come in

Kazumu:

The total reservation for 7days is £135 not per day.

Thank you for your comment.

£135.00 is more the price for one night in London!
What hotel have you booked for that money?

No hoStel in London will offer you a bed space for £19/nite let alone an hotel via booking.com with additional charges by the middle man. Above all this is London peak period.
If you don't mind, post the link here so we verified for you or upload D reservation confirmation.
You docs look very OK if properly applied BUT with the above budget, you will likely get a rejection coz its not practicable.
Why not refer to my earlier questions so people can suggest a workable budget?

Kazumu:

Thank you so much for the reply. I will tell our Admin to include the detail on my reference letter. My bank statement and balance are good with a balance of N1.3m

FrontPageLawyer:


I remembered you shared the testimony here. But we can't rely on luck at all time. TCC is a very important document and a requirement. Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it will work for everyone.

Good morning all. Please I am a self employed visa applicant but my company was registered last year. I have requested for nil tax clearance but due to the new directives from Firs, I was told they no longer issued nil tax clearance. The process involved in getting one can take up to 3weeks and my appointment is next week.

Although I pay myself consistent salary of N300,000 with other deposit from my tenants. Please I have the following questions to ask:
1. I have filled and submitted my application as self employed thinking I will be able to get my company tax clearance so that I can submit both my company and personal statement with a very good account operations. Please can I just submit my personal statement, payslip, bank reference,hotel reservation, letter of employment and reference letter from my company and explain with a letter that I am employed under my company as the Director of Operations? Or how best can I go about it?

2. Do I need to submit my company statement of account and certificate of registration since my company tax clearance is not yet ready?

My major challenge is the issue of tax clearance. I don't want to waist N43,000. I have a good statement of account and a viable business here in Nigeria. My children and wife have been to uk severally on excursion.

abeylevels:
Hello @FrontPageLawyer, @Justwise & Nairaland family;
You have been very helpful on this forum. May God Bless you all

I have some questions in filling the Uk online application form at (https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/) for my trip on a Business visa, in which my company is sponsoring me.

1)There is a place they ask if I have any family in UK?
My uncle's wife(who i can call my Aunt) is based in UK with her 2 kids. The husband is a Professor lecturing in Nigeria. He only visit his family on vacation.

Question i-Can I just state my Aunt as the family I have or I must also include her kids?

Question ii-Also my blood sister & her husband are based in UK. Should I just indicate my sister's name alone or I have to include her husband?


2)There is a part that also ask what is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP?
Since am not paying, I will answer N/A as advised by @FrontPageLawyer
However the next question asks for the ....Total money you have for this Trip?
My company has budget a max of 8,000USD for my expenses which is more than enough looking at my expenses of about 3,000GBP.
I also have over 1m in my personal account. I have over 1m in a co-operative savings with my company welfare unit.
I have 800k naira in a Mutual Fund. I have stocks worth over 2m.
Please based on the above, how should i answer the question ...what is the total money you have for the trip?.... since am being sponsored but I still have my own money which am not spending for the trip?

3)There is another question that ask..Do you have other income and How much you receive monthly from this?
While I have investments in Land, stock & Mutual Fund, the only income I receive now is Dividend from stocks which doesnt come monthly and I cant predict the amount.
How do I answer this part since for example i can receive X naira from company A in April last year , Y naira from company B in June last year.
But this year company A pays lower that X naira based on performance while company B pays more than Y naira.
Though these credits are not so huge. They vary with amounts like 35,000 naira, 800naira, 20,000naira etc

Please Nairalanders family, @FrontPageLawyer, @Justwise help as I dont want to fill N/A when i know they will see that there are some credits into my bank statement apart from my monthly salary.



Please help

Did I heard you say you don't want to risk #43k out of your 3.6m annual income?

weigh your chances yourself, if not favourable, wait till you have your TCC

Stay positive....
They do make mistakes that i can certainly tell u ...
They will send an official to CAC if need be.... but if i have to be honest they will not because it is getting to a busy period for them... most times they compare documents, or check the websites and if need they call if they have to.... Only send officials if the application is complicated... I just hope one day nigeria will get to the point where documents can be verified online or numbers can be verified online; it will make the document geninue. I recently tried checking something on NAFDAC website and it failed to verify the product; so it is naija for u ...
anyways, God in is infinite mercy will grant your heart desires... stay positive and have faith...
