Hi Gurus in the house. Thanks for the advice giving to me the last time I asked some questions, I have to work on myself and now I think I am ready to apply for a UK visa now, Previously on my old passport I have over stayed my south Africa visa and I registered my company(Enterprise)and I have been building my account and paying tax to ogun state government, but my firm was registered in Benin city, I decided to pay the tax in Ogun state because I could not afford to pay the required tax in Benin ,because it was too high, and i registered this firm 2016 and pay the tax and registered this company for the purpose of traveling to Europe with ease, and I spent 9 months in Kenya in 2017.
I was advice on this forum that I will be refused visa cus of my over stay south Africa and also spending so much time in Kenya when I have a firm here in Nigeria, I have to let my old passport expire and I have renewed it…All the while I was in South Africa and Kenya, I was on study leave
I’m work with a federal government organization in Benin and I’m a junior staff that earn less than 40k per month and I have been working with the government for 9 years now, I have resume duty for a year now and I have pay slips and my salary is reflecting on my salary account .I’m married with a 2 years old and my firm has up to 5 million naira as of today and I make use of my salary immediately it comes in.

My problem now is that how will I be able to convince the C.O that I own a company in Ogun state and work in Benin City
There is a column in the form that asked about previous passport, I do not want to submit my old passport with my application because of the over stay stamp and visa
Can I take photocopies of the Kenya visa along; I did not over stay in Kenya because my visa was extended for the 9 months duration
And less I forget, I was refused a student visa in February 2009 and I also appealed and lost.

Please guys I really need to succeed this time and please I need all the advice I can get please and if I stand a chance to get a tourist visa if I apply, Thanks

Good people of nairaland, Please I have a question.

I was a student in uk . I was doing my ACCA in london. My plan was to do MBA after ACCA. I came home for summer holiday in August 2014 after my acca, and i got a job in Nigeria.

September 2014,I sent a mail to my school to defer my admission for MBA because i got a job in nigeria, and they deferred it and also informed the home office that i am no longer a student.

The school advised I leave the country within 7 to 14 days, and I told them I left the country in August before i even deferred my admission. please note i left uk august and i deferred my admission September, so I was not in UK when I got that mail. I also got a curtailment mail from UK Home office.

The issue now is that I am applying for a canadian visa, and i was asked if i been ordered to leave a country?

Do you i tick yes or no

I will appreciate if someone can be of help

eduson33:
I will advice to the best of my knowledge. I hope Justwise addresses this too.

I will be stating Positives and Negatives.

Negative
1. Acquiring a new passport doesn't overwrite the fact that you've previously overstayed in a country and as far as I know, you need to mention this in your application to avoid ban(I hear say if you lie, you get ban)
2. The stated salary is very poor( if that's the pay slip you'd be presenting)
3. Did you lie about your overstay or old passport when you applied for the student visa?

POSITIVES
1.If you can provide your company licence +
2. If you can provide tax papers and proof of day to day transactions +
3. If you can provide a company account statement+
4. Provide a bank statement which states how much you pay yourself monthly from the company (Should be better money)
5. Provide strong invitation letter( there should be a strong reason why you need to visit UK other than Holiday) (if you have anyone who works in public sector .EG a doctor,lawyer,police,military, or a clergy) or you can find a conference that's related to what your company does or get a strong invite for a business meeting.
6. Your salary certificate should state how much you earn, reason for travelling and when you joined the company
7.Add other things that can solidify your ties with Naija.

please add more.

Thanks for your advice @eduson
I have not over stay when i applied for the student visa in 2009 and I thought I do not need to pay myself a salary as sole business owner, I know the government salary is very poor, but I’m thinking it will help my application, but I can stick as a business owner only if the salary I earn with the government will complicate it

OmoBendel24:
Simple question; what on earth would bring you back to Nigeria if issued this visa?

eduson33:
As a business owner, you need to put yourself on salary. *correct me if i'm wrong*

shanga:

1.What is your purpose of visiting the UK

2. Why are you paying tax to ogun state government rather than Benin city where your company is registered?

shanga:
Thanks for writing back sir,I want to go visit a cousin and he is a British citizen,I paid the tax in Ogun State because I can afford 3 years tax ,compare to the amount Benin is requesting I pay and I have a letter from the Ogun State tax office that I have moved my business to Ogun....that is part of my fear now,cus I wanted to use my government work as home tile,but it’s In Benin.please I don’t want to fail,I need all the advices I can get thanks

justwise:
I will be surprised if you are given a visa on that salary as a married man with kids.

You are a potential immigrant because the chances of you coming back if given a visa is slim.

priorityservices-region1@tlscontact.com ......specifying your GWF reference number, name and surname, and the location where you are submitting your visa application for further guidance on the alternative payment mode.

ozymes:
@Justwise, Omobendel, seyewest.

Please, Visa4UK or GOV.UK which is the appropriate/advisable site for visitors visa application?

ephbe:
you have to log into your account on uk site, there should be a link that would link u to tls site, I think all applications from march 6 has to go with the new upgrades.

Does anyone have an idea how else priority service fee can be paid.

I cant logon to tlscontact page. No login option

Do they have an email I can email

Kindly assist with info if u have one pls
