Build that account for another 3 months, 6months bank statement is safer.

That depend on your budget for the trip, let your budget be around 600-650K but you need to have more than that in your account.

Thanks.
Let assumed I tagged it as a side business, we the ECO consider the sales invoices, receipt and another related document for an additional source of income.?

Considering the fact that it is not registered and does not have a designated business name, it is necessary to mention it?

How would you advice i handle the case ?

oluayebenz:


That is your side business not self employ.......
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Enick: 12:54pm On Jun 15, 2019
Thanks for your swift and sincere reply.
What the alternative ways of having the visa officer acknowledge an additional source of income?
In fairness, i get so much from that business.
giselle237:
If the business is not registered then how do you want the visa officer to acknowledge it or proceeds from it? not possible

Submit your main job details and mention that briefly as side business.
Note: your main job will determine your approval

get the business registered and documentation completed if you need them to count it as means of income. I dnt know if you understand that these are not Nigerians... Anyway save up with a salary that is monthly and regular and then apply otherwise its not advisable to go back there, another denial will be imminent.

Like giselle237 said above, get the company registered, open an account for it and let all revenue of the business be paid into that account. Also let all your receipts,invoices, contracts etc bear the name of your company. That's the only way you can use it as an income source. You CD an also consider paying yourself a fixed monthly income from that company account into your personal account as salary.


NB; I'm interested in venturing into this kind of business also. Can I PM you for more info/tips?

Hello guys.

Just found this thread. You guys are doing great work here . Big ups

I've read the whole of part 3 and i can see that different people have their own unique case to present.
Please help me with mine. Biko!.

i plan to travel to the uk in September for vacation for 10 days.

My Aunt's friend whose family is based in the UK wants to give me and invitation letter . During my stay in the UK i plan to visit some friends, sightseeing and most importantly watch my favorite football team play.

My office will provide my with Letter of introduction and other important documents for the trip.
i earn a net monthly income of 183k (minus leave allowance, 13th month , clothing allowance and incentive pay for the year). i usually save up to 120k p/mi have a total of 1.1m in my salary account and 300K in my saving account.The total amount should be 1.9m or 2m by sept. Also, My mum has sent 100k to me on 4 or 5 different occasion over the past 9 months( i plan to explain this in a cover letter).

Although i do not have a written budget but i plan to spend a total of 550k on this trip ( 3 times of my monthly income). Me and my aunt's friends have not discussed accommodation and feeding but i'm budgeting 550k on this trip as i plan to takecare of these myself if she can't afford it.

@justwise and others Kindly advise me on what to change or improve . feel free to criticize constructively

Thanks and Regards.

Parent collecting for a dependent child when the child is below 18 years of age
2. One member of a family group collecting the passport for the whole family if applied together.
3. Applicants who are 65 years and above with already issued form obtained during submission
4. Government ministry representative and business network company representative who is approved by the British High Commission and the company’s authorized signature with a letter of introduction and a company ID card.

Good Morning everyone!
Please has anyone succeeded in collecting his/her passport from TLS using a representative other than the above mentioned?

Those are the only exceptions in nigeria now.. nobody can pick up for you, if the applicant cant make it for passport collection, he/she should pay for courier services.
