1. No, confirmation letter will not affect it but, if u d'nt av it no problem , it is just that it helps atimes if u are applying as an employee of a company. If u av a good HR in y organisation he/she should be able to write confirmation letter for u after 6months probation. Let the HR check y staff fille and calculate 6months u joined the company and write the letter, if it is not possible u can leave it, your employment letter, payslips will cover it.

2. Your 2M depends on how long u will stay in the UK.

FGN bond certificates, TBills certificate and other investment certificates are what u will fill when asked if u av other savings or investment. The most important thing is showing a good comprehensive statement of account with a good closing balance. The ECO wants to see your total budget in your account and the remaining amount to show that u av something to fall bk on when u guys return. So u av to do a good mathematics here. Your statement of account is preferable.
3. If tax certificate is not available no problem but , note that, if there is no tax deduction stated in your payslips, it will lead to refusal. UK are really concerned with your tax deduction, they d'nt joke with it, so it is compulsory u must av it stated in y payslips.
4. Letter of invitation is not compulsory if u d'nt av any one inviting u guys. All u need to do is go to booking.com and book hotel for duration of stay and print out from y email. U will take it along with u when u want to submit y documents, it serves as proof of accomodation.
5. Landed properties ps. If u no get am no problem.
6.yes of course, it is one of the widely used for booking hotels
7. U can not book for flight reservation until your visa is approved.

Quick Question Please!

Please, if I have a "multiple entry visa" of 1 year, does this mean that I can enter, exit the country and enter again as many times as I wish without applying for a new visa for that 1year?

Thanks!

ekpotek:


YES

hardeymorllar:
Thank you!

Hello Sir @Justwise and every other expert. Finally had to join nairaland so I could ask my questions. so i will give a bit of a background to my questions, I currently live in Sweden as a full time masters student for about a year now.

I was refused a UK visa to see my sister and her husband during my Christmas holidays last year because i mentioned i had other family members in the UK but did not provide their biopages and proof of legal residence (didnt do so because they were away on vacation), but i provided all my sister and her husband's documents as full sponsors - bank statements, invitation, utility bills, birth certs of my sister and i, bio pages and proof of legal residence in the UK, plenty docs from school to prove my being in full time studies - the whole nine yards.

So I have reapplied for summer and my biometrics will be in the middle of June. My sister and husband are moving on to Canada at the end of the month on ministry assignment. This time, my brother and family will be around and they want me to spend the holidays with them.
My invitation letter was addressed and signed by my sister-in-law and she is sending docs to me (both brother and wife are British citizens) but my brother is too busy! so they agreed that she would do my letter and send her own docs.

I didnt include my sister and her husband as family residing in the UK because they are moving in 3 days and wont be in the UK in July when I plan to visit. I stated my sister-in-law as sponsor and my teenage nephews and her as relatives in the UK alone without mentioning my brother?Will this be okay?
looking forward to your thoughts on this? i was thinking about mentioning these in my cover letter or just leave it alone.

@ekpotek & just wise.

Good work my ogas.

I applied for visiting for me and my wife since 7th of May and I am yet to be contacted to pick up my passport. please what should I do?

ekpotek:


Schengen countries - 90 days maximum per visit
UK - 180 days maximum per visit.
Others - durations is determine at point of entry.

You guys know you don't have to submit hard copies of documents anymore. Now they scan everything and give you back your documents immediately. I didn't know that initially.

iwanvisityankee:
does it mean one can visit schengen countries with UK visa?

iapt:


I dont think that is possible sir....because UK is not part of the Schengen territory

iwanvisityankee:
does it mean one can visit schengen countries with UK visa?

iwanvisityankee:
yeah, I thought as much, just curious about ekpotek response

Oh, it seems he was just referring to different countries with their methods

Be reasonable for once, we all know that a salary of ₦18k cumulatively for a whole year without taking a Kobo from it can't even buy you a return ticket,Same way a salary of ₦250k a month is not automatic to grant you a Visa... Nothing is cast in concrete

djpope:

Hello.

I would appriecte some advice. So I have a boyfriend in Nigeria (I am a British citizen). I would like to sponsor his visit to the UK for approx 2 weeks.
With honesty can you please tell me the likelihood of being accepted for a visitor visa. And how much would he have to have in his bank account if I am sponsoring his visit? With me sponsoring do they still look at his situation?

Thanks.

Dear bosses and gurus on this thread, good evening to you. Please, a little issue on ground and I really don't know what to advise, but we will read and follow your sound take. In the days of backdating exit dates, someone did too and she did successfully renew her visa without hassles despite quoting and using the backdated date for her visa renewal application, but the five years visa given her on that renewal in 2011 however has expired now (no backdating was done on this visa's usage). She wants to renew now and she's confused as to whether to stick to the backdated date as used in obtaining her last visa back then or to just write out the correct exit date this time around. What do I advise? Isn't this trouble? Should sleeping dog just be allowed to lay there or will it open a can of warm would get opened?

Super guides @Justwise and Ekpotek; and other gurus; how will this pan out? Thanks

Hey guys!!! I’m new here..and I’ll appreciate your help and advice !
I applied for Uk visa some years back .. and was denied due to insufficient evidence ... I’m trying to apply again for my cousin’s graduation ceremony .. please what are the documents I need to present? I’m trying to apply alongside my cousin’s family ... and her dad is sponsoring the trip.. so do I need to present my own bank statement also .. cuz I earn 50k monthly salary and I have worked for 8months.since my uncle is sponsoring do I need my own bank statement ? also while filling the online application, the “are you travelling with anyone part”. Should I put their names and should they put my name in theirs considering they’re also applying for the visa with me as we are applying as a family. P.s we are applying as a family.

BabaOman:



Does this apply to previous passport because I want to use my new passport. The checklists says I should come with previous passport.

justwise:


Obviously if she stated a date different from what they have in the system on her profile..the outcome will not be positive.

She has to pray long and hard that the backdating issue is not found out
