Best advise... don't try that story he cooked up for you... you want to put your brother on a long 10years ban... Please don't come back and lament oh. Do it yourself. Read through this forum and you will learn it. You could also look for reputable travel companies but on here they would advice you to read through and do it yourself.


Thanks for your advice. I appreciate

You should know too well that this is wrong and will lead to 10yrs ban from the UK? All that man wanted is to make money out of your sister inlaw by introducing her to the agent and you have succeeded in doing that.

Thanks for your comment Justwise. But I want to verify if Abuja and Lagos embassy do interview for tourist visa? As for me I am not comfortable with the guy and we are not interested again. My only concern now is if tourist visa go for interview?

Hello guys i plan to apply for UK visa by the end of this month but i am facing some challenges.

I own a business that i registered in 2017. The business is mainly imports and there are forex transfers between Nigeria and asia and other countries in the DOM account. Now i have a personal account, but most times i use both person and business account for business. sometimes i recieve payments of hundreds of thousands through my person account. Sometimes i also transfer funds from my business account to my personal account and transfer to people.

sometimes i go shopping and use my business account ATM to pay, likewise my personal account. Now this month, i transfered 1,000,000 from business account to personal account and spent 500,000 out of it. I want to fund the trip which i budget 600,000(6days) for from my personal account. If i transfer another 1,100,000 from business account to my personal account making it 1,600,000 before i apply, will it be suspicious? Even though i own both accounts and run them as both business and personal account.

I was in dubai in october last year, if i am applying for UK visa in march against june, will it be somehow?

Finally, i have not paid tax for the business since 2017 i registered it. Will it be suspicious if i go and pay tax now? Also, will be a problem applying with a business name that is a little above 1 year?

PLEASE ADVICE .

1.Are you going to pay tax from 2017?

2. No it will not as long as your business is doing well and you are not using the business money for the trip.

Might pay for 2018.

Now, I have 500k in personal account. Though I normally transfer money from business account to personal, if I transfer 1,000,000 from business account to personal account as account that will be funding the trip, will it be a problem?

Will they say huge sum was deposited in my personal account before application?

Hello house. I need comments on these issues please. My sister in-law was assiting her younger brother to re-apply for UK visa and just yesterday a friend of my husband came to our house and from one talk to the other, we started talking of UK visa, so I mentioned about my sister in-law, how she was trying to reapply a visa for younger brother, the man started gisting me how he got his visa in 2012. He said that someone assisted him, he just went to Abuja with his documents and passport and was interviewed, in few weeks he got his passport with visa. I was very surprised, do tourist visa applicant go for interview ? He even said that most documents were fake but ended up getting it. He just said the man that helped him knows pple at the Embassy, I was so confused about his talk. Please are they some people that go through interview for tourist visa here in Nigeria? Is it in Nigeria that they put the visa sticker? He even gave me the connection of the guy for my sister in-law to use him, i called my sister in-law and linked her with the guy and he said he will assist but we are scared and beside I av not heard about Interview for tourist visa. So sorry for the long write up.

@ bigtt76:

Thank you for your contributions. I own the company and there is no side hustle. We have one account for business and as well operations.

I did not use my salary account for side business. The deposits into that account since 2017 till date were strictly salaries except 3 payments - school fees refund from post graduate school 165k, refund of 110k from 3D wall papers and approved travel allowance for 2018 and this were all clearly explained.

I own the company but business payments are dealings are handled separately from personal accounts and the in the sponsorship letter, the amount and purpose being for return ticket, accommodation, feeding and transportation was also stated and hence I added the business account statement.

I feel the ECO did not read the cover letter. I really do want to reapply to explain the last 3 deposits in the company account of 5th and 11th. Although I did not see that as lodgment because the transactions were genuine transactions and the last transaction was made 10days before I printed the statement. I want to reapply but want to be sure what went wrong or how to draw their attention to these explanations on the cover letter.
. In the Additional Information section, kindly refer the ECO to reading your cover letter....

Hi all, the last time I applied for a UK visa was in 2012 ,now it is 2019 I am in the process of applying ,I can see the process has changed. My question can someone tell me the cost implication of getting my documents scanned and uploaded he TLS cennter as opposed to scanning them and uploading at a business centre .

Hi guy,
I am abt applying for UK tourist visa for me, my wife and 3 children. I have my own company and my wife and children are share holders in the company. My wife and one of my children are directors in the company. I am not on any particular amount as salary as funds comes in from the business I do at any time. I have some landed properties to show that am coming back with my family. we intend spending 3 weeks. We have travelled to Europe and Dubai. Though we were refused visa to France in 2012 due to insufficient funds back then and US in 2018 due to inability to show ties in Nigeria even though we were not given the opportunity to show our documents during the interview. My questions are;
(1) what are our chances of getting UK visa?
(2) is it better to use my company as sponsor since my company is more than buoyant enough to sponsor our trip or my personal account?
(3) what documents do we need to present?
(4) do we need to book for accommodation and flight before applying?

I am awaiting your answers seriously! Thanks a lot
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by boladet: 8:46pm On Mar 10, 2019

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by NanaOne1: 8:56pm On Mar 10, 2019
A friend of mine also had a similar issue. He wanted to visit with his family of four and they were all refused UK visa ending of last year due to insufficient ties. He and his family had traveled together to Dubai and some of them had traveled to USA before
We assisted him to apply alone and he just got his visa last week.
With your recent refusals to France and USA, I think it might play a part in your visa application. I will advise you to traveled alone or with only your wife for the first time before applying with all your children so that your children will strengthen your ties to Nigeria.

Let the experienced gurus give us more highlights

Men guys abeg i go need una Help for this one o.

I recently got refused UK Visa.Meanwhile i showed a statement of 2.4M and am on a salary of 500,000 Monthly. Though i made a withdrawal from my crypto Currency Account to add up to make it up to 2.4M.Not to forget, i applied with my wife.
See below the response..

You have stated that You are an XyZ engineer with XYZ company and earn 500000 (1,043 Pound sterling) per month. You also stated that you have no other sources of Income and have no property in your own name. In support of your application,you have provided an employment letter.payslips and bank statements in your name. How ever the bank statements show deposits made into your account which are in excess of your total claimed income. You have not provided any details on your application as to the origin of the excess funds and i am unable to determine this from the statement or the other evidence provided.I am not satisfied that the funds held in your account are under your exclusive control or that they are available for the purpose of your trip to the Uk.

In light of this i am not satisfied that you have the adequate funds available to you which are under your exclusive control.


Mean while, In my cover letter i explained origin of the extra 800k Lodged into the account from my crypto Currency wallet, and even went as far as attaching the account statement of when the money left my account to the cryto currency account and when it returned.

Guys i will appreciate your advise on this

Might pay for 2018.

Now, I have 500k in personal account. Though I normally transfer money from business account to personal, if I transfer 1,000,000 from business account to personal account as account that will be funding the trip, will it be a problem?

Will they say huge sum was deposited in my personal account before application?


Yes and you are likely to be refused, you need to explain your source of income and support that with paper evidence, make sure that you are using your business profit to fund the trip and not your main capital.

You need to be able to explain clearly your profit from the business and the capital for running the business, submit any paper that will show your business audit so as to convince the ECO that you are not using your business money for the trip

The ECO probably did not see the cover letter or the visa centre staff did not include it in your application package.

If you want to reply type the explanation within the form where they asked for additional info...the blank space in the form
