Hello house, pls I want to apply for a Uk 6months Visa. I have visited Uk in 2016. I was invited by my friend and he paid all expenses. I wrote in my application that I was doing nysc but the company will employ me on a salary of 150l which later happened when I got back. I had about 4m in my fixed deposit and demonstrated how I got it through my petty business and all. Now, the challenge is this...this company is owned by Lebanese and they pay salary in cash except if your earn above 200k. So what I do is that I add 50k to my 150 and pay it into my account as salary. I have 7.5m in my fixed now and not too much in my savings since I do the transfer to my fixed from my savings. Pls, how do I package my application? What do I say so that it can be easy to understand.

Hi Nairalanders,
I would like to apply for Australian, Uk or Canadian visit Visa from Nigeria but my country of residence is Singapore. I am on a student visa which needs to be renewed every year. The problem is the requirements for foreigners applying for these countries are difficult for none residence. I was advised to apply from my home country because if my student visa is less than 6 months I am not eligible to apply visas to other countries.

My question is.
Is it possible to fly to Nigeria for a week and apply or stay back in Singapore apply for visa and bio-metrics then when my visa is approved I can fly back to Nigeria to get the visa sticker on my passport?

thanks

If Imay ask, why would a registered company be paying staff salaries by cash? Maybe for tax evasions....which is very bad.

dilodavid:
Make the booking to show the cost of your flight in your budget breakdown.

Good morning everyone.
I applied for UK business/tourist visa on priority basis to attend the ongoing world travel market. I Biometrics done on 18th Oct, Mail for decision taken received on 23/Oct, yet I have not received my passport nor gotten a mail from TLS.

I have called the home office and they asked that I wait for 15 working days to elapse stating that priority is not guaranteed.
Please who has had such an experience as I’m getting really worried. The conference has kicked off, I do not even have my passport and I have a trip slated for the 10th of Nov.

KodakBlack:

My brother, you can apply for Canada online.

If your visa is approved, you’ll send the passport to any embassy in the world within 30 days and it’ll be returned with the sticker.

Good morning everybody. Please I want to ask a question on behalf of my sister. She works and earns 200k after all deductions and want to visit the UK though early next year. She is 36 and single, she lives in her own house (3-bedroom bungalow). She has a friend who has travelled to the UK about 9 years ago and her friend has promised to support her trip with £300. Her friend will invite, accommodate and feed her. Please how can she package the application so that it will fly. She want to say she will spend only £500 from her account and is it okay as her friend want to sponsor the trip with £300 so everything will be £800. Her friend want to support her trip because when he called my sister on Friday which was her birthday he said he would like to host in the UK and promised her £300 whenever she wish to visit him and his family in the UK. Her friend is a male and married in the UK. Thank you all.

If ur sister cant afford a holiday she should not go to the embassy... be wary of all these sponsorships. If she is working and earns she shud give herself a holiday fully only if she is financially capable... if she cnt then she should not apply as she will be denied..
the embassy is ever ready to deny u if u do not have the financial capacity to a holiday in the uk...
they dont need anyone coming to overstay or trying to access the funds of their country.. they wont allow u smell their borders...

Okay, thank you. She can afford the trip with her salary. Please how much can she state she want to spend for 6 or 10 days trip with her 200k salary? Her friend will accommodate and feed her. She also have her own house here in Nigeria. Please we need your input. Thank you.

Is £270 good enough for living expenses for 7 days in London? Contributions please..

Pennywise:


Oh. Priority is not guaranteed after paying £220. Isnt this a scam?

giselle237:
Is this for visa application or for tourist visit in a person with visa in hand?

dilodavid:
For visa application. The amount isn't part of flight and accommodation.

Candybright:
For family of 6, 2adult and 4kids. How do one book appointment without paying for all those extras. Self service. Can one book for the 2adult and just show up with the other children or each child need appointment too? I noticed that each date have like 2slots because afterlogging in with different email and booking for 2people, that time will no longer be available.
Paying 42k for 6people is too much. Who knows how to go about this? Thanks

giselle237:
U dont need to put expensive amount... u are a tourist.. just make sure u have enuff money to take care of your accommodation and feeding... every other thing is secondary including shopping money.
Use ur disposable income as a bar, dont exceed twice the amount for the cost of everything about this trip

[Please, airline or site did you book with? quote author=dilodavid post=83801756]Noted. I got flight at 220k, hostel accommodation @ 47k for 7 days. What amount is reasonable enough as living expenses? Trip period is next year. Thanks for your time.

HEP PLEASE

Hello house, please may I know the procedure at which you upload document before biometric using a laptop? Also I am sponsoring myself with hostel booking may I know which category I place these documents? Eg residency, financial, etc

giselle237:
200k is not her disposable income. She must subtract the amount she wants to state as her expenses monthly from this salary and then the amount she gets she cnt spend more than 2 times it on the trip.
It is advisable tht this amount is substantial if not she will be denied and she shud not try exceeding 2 times d disposable income , nor having so little money left in her account afterwards.

DMainMan:


You dont need to book any flight for UK Visa. This is a huge risk.

dilodavid:
It was not paid for. The essence is just to show the cost of flight in the budget breakdown.

Janechinem:


Thank you. She earns 250k and spends like 26k monthly in Nigeria. Once she will be accommodated and fed by her friend can she say she will spend like 650 or 700 pounds from her own account without anyone contributing? Her balance will be like 1.4m by the time she will apply.

dilodavid:
Please good people, could someone be kind enough to post a sample of a detailed cover letter?

tshoboy:

This means her disposable income is 224k. Twice of it is 448k. Since her friend will provide letter and other documents to shoe he will provide accommodation. She can plan her budget for flight, feeding and sightseeing around 400k.
You should also read across the thread for other key things.

tshoboy:

You can google this and include Nairaland in your google so it brings results from Nairaland.
