Quick question that I am asking for a friend...

Can a visitor to the UK on a 2 year visit visa, visit an Optician like Specsavers or Vision express to obtain glasses (paid for services) without violating terms of their visit visa?

Or do the UK high commission consider this part of medical tourism?

Justwise, Ekpotek kindly advise please...Thanks.



Yes you can but make sure you keep payment receipts

With the little experience.... fill your forms carefully, have a valid reason for your visit. Your paper work will only speak for you. If you're writing a cover letter make sure it explains everything in details. Also, if you go the TLS with any supporting docs and the attendant tells you that you don't need one of the docs, they them to scan it... it's your application not theirs. It happened to me... my first application the lady didn't scan my docs for business dealings. Telling that my CAC docs and tax will do that. I was refused that my business doesn't have a valid means of transactions... I reapplied the next day I got refused. Got back there and I told them to scan all my supporting docs. I got my visa straight.

I really appreciate justwise & ekpotek... what do you want me to get you when coming to UK ? wink

Congratulations!

How can you own a company and still pay your self a salary? How did you determine how much to pay yourself?

Did you explain in your application what your gross and net profit are hence the half a million salary?

Thank you
justwise:


1.State your average salary then use the additional space for info to give more details about your payment

2.Your hubby doesn't need to apply if he is not traveling

3. You need to get your tax paper to support your net income.

Regarding documents needed from your cousin ..we have answered this sort of question too many times here and its not fair to keep repeating the same thing page after page.

Please read back for an answer

The survey questions are generic. The questions are mainly about the visa application processes and services. They will never ask you if you got the visa or not.

Hello, great people of this institution. I'd like to know if anyone has experienced this case before. On the 17th of August, I submitted UK visa application for myself, my wife and 2 kids. 2 weeks back, I received my wife's passport and mine with our Visas but the kids applications when tracked on Tls website are still awaiting decision even after 2 weeks of receiving ours. How could this be?. Your comments would be appreciated.

Same thing happen to someone I know. Mother was issued a visa and kid yet to get hers. Mother will travel out today. This certainly means that either the group application no longer working or TLS is messing up somewhere. Group applicants are suppose to be treated by same ECO. angry angry

You can only book appointment on the visa4uk site. The sad part is that you cannot view appointment date until you complete and sign your application. You will see appointment dates before making payment, only that you would have signed your application before appointment. In other words, you cant make changes to your application anymore at the appointment stage. But anyone who has passed that stage can advise you on the earliest dates available. I just checked and noticed 28th Sept is available. I checked last night, the earliest was 2nd Oct.

Great People,

I need someone to help with the question below.

Has anyone subscribed to the "Keep my passport When Applying" option on tls website from Nigeria. I want to submit my application tomorrow and need to travel to another country mid October. I just want to be cautious in this period where uk visa application can last 2 months. Though i wish i can have my visa before my trip in October but if visa wont come on time then i don't want to forfeit my other trip too.

Gudevnin good people of this good page. I really want to thank the great GOD of Isreal, and the people of nziraland. Submitted my passport and documents on 27th august at ikeja, and I just got my passport back with d visa. One reason am very happy is dt I was denied a USA student visa last year fro my masters, so I felt so discouraged that it might affect dis current applicatiin. I almost didnt include in my UK application that I have a previous denial from USA. But thank GOD I said d truth, and today recieved one of the hardest visas to get. All d best to all those expecting. And for those who are contemplating if they should lie about previous refusals, please just tell the truth and present ur case well, first to GOD, then to the embassy, shalom

Hello house...please I decided to throw my question here since the Ireland thread(where my question is suited for) isn't effective at such...

I am planning to apply for Ireland tourist visa as a tourist. I have traveled severally in the past to the UK and have been looking forward to travelling to Ireland someday but haven't had the opportunity until now, I want to spend my forthcoming leave days from work in Ireland. Please note that my husband is a UK citizen and resident who visits me often in Nigeria. I have no plan joining him in the UK soon as I am still comfortable with my job hence my stay in Nigeria. Also,It is just going to be me visiting alone and hubby doesn't intend joining me from london as he has used up all his leave days at work.what are my chances please?

This image shows the order in which you must follow on the visa4uk site. Once payment is successful, you can then click on the Register at commercial partner which then takes you to the tls site for registration. On tls, you will be asked for the GWF number of your application on visa4uk, your passport no and some other details after which you will validate and submit the form.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by wiselong: 3:54am On Sep 25, 2018
Hello Everyone,


My company would be sponsoring me for a training in the UK and would be responsible for all the expenses, I want to clarify the following

1. My pay is about 100k per month and I have been working for about 4 years, I hope this does not matter
2. The training is for 6 days and I plan using about 18 days during my visit, should I fill the 6 days of training for the number of days I intend using or I should fill the 18 days?
3. I intend staying in hotels for some days during the training and then staying at some family friends house after the training, should I include that I would be staying in both places during my visit?
4. What other documents do I need to add to submit to enhance my applications?

Thank you

@justwise, ekpotek

And which o the sites is better and more flexuble? Also I want to know if I can use any naira debit card to pay or a dorm master card to pay. or suggest a better means of paying for the viisa hitch~free. Thanks for your input
