No ur brothers, sisters, parents etc can’t ... if you were less than 18 or so, probably yes or a student yes they could but even if they do, their circumstances will be put aside and yours will be used to judge if you a potential overstayer or not.
The applicant must convince the visa officer that they are coming for the written down/intended purposes and will go back

Helo Giselle i finally got my brother to do the payment from nigeria. I wanted to get direct flight but i ended up doing a transit. Ethopian airline, stop over at addiss ababa
I hv never used the airline before... i just hope they good. Also being transit i hope her covid test won’t expire bfr she arrives heathrow

giselle237:

U can only pay with dormicilliary cards as all naira mastercards have 100usd cutoff or alternatively book on wakanow or call the british airways lagos abuja office, they will tell you the naira equivalent to pay and where to pay it.
What do you mean as new entrant?

giselle237:
what is the total flight time? And she can do a covid test 48hrs before departure at an approved centre.. the result should come out in time.
Pls dnt forget to fill passenger locator form and to pay for the day 2 and day 8 package testing in the uk... without these 2, her entry into UK is not guaranteed.

Then pls guide her on what to do... u know d movement at transit airport... noone will basically come and be telling u what to do.. she needs to take note of her boarding gate, be searching for international departure... go thru security control and find her boarding gate to uk in time at addis ababa.. pls teach her these things and also what to carry hand luggage so she won’t be delayed by load in the transit movement. Goodluck

Hello, I am new to this thread and naira land so I would very much appreciate your assistance. My uncle wants to send me letter of invitation, he will be taking care of all the financial aspects. My question is what do I have to do on my own part to be able to get the visa. I just started working so I don't have upto 6 months salary to show. How much do I need in my account ( my uncle would sponsor everything I'm assuming I still need to have something).

chrisj2:
@Riola, just read about 3 or 4 pages back. Gisele has kindly gone through the sort of information you are asking about with another poster.

She has also been comprehensive on the issues of TIES: basically, what ties you to Nigeria that will convince the Entry Clearance Officers (ECO) that you will return to Nigeria after your visit.

Your uncle's sponsorship and personal circumstances only count for a small part of your getting a VISA - it does count because at least you have accommodation and other expenses sorted out. Being invited is so much better than claiming you want to go on your own as a Tourist.

* I do wonder about those wanting to invite folks to the UK and not doing much legwork for the invitee? Do they really want them to come to the UK or they are doing it out of family obligations?
A family member had done that to another that I know... He invited the person and did not bother including any bank statements or other docs... This was a long time ago though.

chrisj2:
Ok. It is not an easy process, so read up but I still think the person inviting you should do their own research and should be ahead of you... I suppose they want the process to succeed - don't they?

Read about Irenenewaka that was trying to invite her mother or mother-in-law to come and help as she is about the have a baby. You would have thought it was an easy process as they can sponsor and are ready and willing but she was here asking many many questions; that was after two refusals.

You don't have to read many pages back to get the picture...

Good Evening Guru in the house..

I need your contribution and clarifications, my wife and my 2 years old son wish to pay my wife sister a visit in the UK.

The sister and her husband are British citizens and have the capacity to accommodate and take care of their needs during the visit.

I the husband on the other hand works with a regional organization and I've exhausted a large chunk of my annual leave, so I won't be going with them. My wife does personal business cash flow to her personal account is not really on the high side. I will be the one funding the travelling expenses, her sister & her husband catering for their needs in UK.

I need your advice on way to go

graceodini:
Good morning house. Please I need your advice. I got my 6months visit visa last year and went to UK to spend 7days instead of 10days stated in my application form. If I want to reapply can I apply for 2years or 5years. Thanks.

alert20:
I have balance of 1.7m in my business account.
I haven't touched/spent from my staff salary account for the past 4months and i intend to leave it there for the next 8-10months will have a balance of (400-500k) in there by then..

I don't think this idea is good, have you been eating for the past 4months And where is the feeding money comes from DONT SHOT YOURSELF ON THE LEG.... BUSINESS MONEY IS MEANT FOR BUSINESS, YOUR PERSONAL INCOME IS WHAT YOU SPENT ON A MONTHLY BASICS, BUT YOU SAID YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SPENDING A DINE, SO WHO HAS BEEN FEEDING YOU FOR THE PAST 4MONTHS�✌️

@giselle237

@giselle237 pls i need your advise on this...



Dear NL, 
I currently work with a bank (3rd year) as a support staff earning below (100k monthly) and 1.1m (annually).. I have a registered business account (LTD) which has been functional for the past 6 months with a turnover of about 1.7m so far (Operating as Event Planner/Food & Nutrition Planning ETC)... 
My plan is that i intend to apply for UK visit visa later in the year or anytime soon as i get a concrete guideline after the whole pandemic immigrational laws and restrictions must have subside.
I can get my outsource to give me a list of some of the required documents but is it really advisable considering how much i earn, will it carry enough weight for this whole processing or should i just improve on my business account fully instead.
But my idea is since ppl do multiple jobs even overseas, i would want to believe that the ECO/VO would understand since all documents will be provided of bot (Business Profile and Individual Profile of me being a banker).

I can get my outsource to provide the following; 
introduction letter as well as my 6months payslips
Proof of employment
Offer letter.
Then other documents as regards my registered comp can be prepared by myself.

I was able to collate this list from what i have learnt so far from this thread
UK TOURIST Requirements:
International passport ( 6 months validity)
Bio data page2 passport photos
Proof of employment
6 month bank statement
6 months pay slip
Introduction letter from employer
Offer letter from work  
Self introduction letter
Official I.d card (Both Registered Business and Bank)Certificate of incorporation( if you own a business)

My financial strength..
I have balance of 1.7m in my business account.
I haven't touched/spent from my staff salary account for the past 4months and i intend to leave it there for the next 8-10months will have a balance of (400-500k) in there by then..

Please kindly advise on whats best to do.
Travel Experience.. (none)
Age (late 20's)
Marital Status (Single)
I have been reading this thread for the past 2 weeks,
I am so impressed with what have learnt so far.
Please kindly advise.

Mirabel2020:
Please I want to reapply I was refused on January on the ground that I didn't explain how the money in my account comes about. Can I apply again

nbid:
Thanks @alert20..

Please kindly advise on whats best to do.

However, ignore how i feed... I'm only leaving the balance in my staff salary account just because i wan't it to reflect over that 6months period of time for bank statement purposes.

Please advise on what do do.. Thanks

TheFuckQueen:
@giselle237 i need your scholarly advice here

Mirabel2020:
can someone help me on this

giselle237:
Nbid are you married? Or are u under ur parents? If yes i can let you know how to cover up for the feeding.. sorry im a bit busy hence the late reply
Then for the business, yes you are allowed to have a business and job
U will only need to reiterate that this business is on the side and you will need to project it as a strong one bcus for me ur salary of 91k is too low to show economic tie.. too low
Oh just seeing that u are single... for ur business money, it is strictly for the running of ur business and how u can claim money from there is to have a salary from there as well paid to you monthly.
Do this for 6 months to beef up your total monthly incomes from both ends to 300k. I think thats d safest but for now financially i dnt think u are there yet to be issued a visa

Irenenwaka:


In my personal opinion i would say yur feeding cant be ignored. As much as the eco wants to have a clear understanding of yur income, they also want to have a clear understanding of yur expenditure.

Having a bank account with only credits and no expenditure is money lodgement I believe. So as advertised sir/ma by others as well I suggest u run the account as normal and not be sooo keen on leaving a fat closing balance.
