Hi guys in the house , Please I would like to apply for a Uk visa anytime from now , but from what I have been reading on this post account seems to be very important , but I just got a job a while ago in a networking company and I earn 400k , and I also have a thrift that I collect 70k montly, now I still live with my mother so I don't really run a certain expense in my account , so I am thinking of setting up my account properly now , I am thinking of starting from July, I am going to start with an opening balance of about 2.5 million Naira , pls what amount do you think is okay as expenses monthly and how do you think I should go about it , also out of the 70k monthly thrift that I get I usually send out 45k immediately or on the same day again for the thrift to earn 70k at the end of the month , please guys all is just need is some good advice no matter how cruel or bitter it sounds , I just want to learn , I also have a decent travel history

How much is your monthly expenses?
Does the thrift paid into your salary account?

I picked up my passport today after three weeks of biometric.

I was almost sure I wasn't gonna get my visa, because I made an unpardonable mistake on my application.

I even wrote to them my cancel my application and was atold a decision had been reached already.

Was shocked to see visa approved.

THANK GOD! Lessons learnt.

Congratulations

Seynex01:
I have1.2m as my closing balance

That's should be fine. What's your budget break down?

miqos02:
Please can a good Samaritan share a cover letter format?

If I am doing biometric in Lagos, do I address the letter to Lagos or Abuja?

Address it to their Lagos embassy

MadameW:

Your ticket is even more expensive than mine. That hostel is very cheap sha. You are lucky to find that. I am new in this paro. However;

Will 36 for seven days of transport be enough? Except I am missing something, I don't think that is enough for a cab from Gatwick to Central London.

Feeding with 182 for seven days? Na so food cheap for the UK? 26 a day?

Your budget is very tight I must say. Nothing for entertainment. I guess some tourist locations would need you to pay.

You might be lucky sha. All the best.

I won't be taking cab, na bus and train oh

Monmarri:
The budget in the first place is small for 7days trip and you still talk about reduced . How much you want her to reduce it to? To 250? Or what? No way that she can be given visa with such budget she stated in her application. From her buget once the flight fare is removed, then what is left? Who then takes care of her living expenses and accommodation in the UK. The ECO is not satisfied that she can fund the trip which is obvious in the refusal letter.

If she has a dependent she should state it, it is left for her to know the amount she gives to her dependant . Let the amount be reasonable to the salary she earns.

When u said the budget is small, don't you think budget can be reduced by booking a cheap hostel instead of an expensive hotel?

Ucdavid111:
Good day everyone in the house, I have just been refused tourist visa below are their reasons for refusal

You could have gotten the visa if you had reduced your budget and not to have stated your brother as a dependent

giselle237:
... spending upto 3 months of your salary on a trip is a red flag.

You are right

giselle237:
The time frame of your approved leave and when you are returning to work. Let the dates be clear

Date of employment and designation is stated, also approved leave date and returning is also stated on the letter. Abeg no vex o, do i still need a leave letter after collecting no objection letter?

Osemigho:
I don’t think the budget can work if you don’t have a family in the UK. Last LAgos-Gatwick return flight that I booked is about 240k. So, I don’t know how one will survive with 100k for 7 days.

Is objection letter a letter of introduction or leave?

I don’t think there is a general formulae. It is every applicant duty to present a very convincing case.

I meant to type "No objection letter"

I booked a hostel for 7 days at #38,220 that's £84
Transportation £36
Feeding: £182
Upkeep: £50
Flight ticket I got is #235k

Monmarri:
What do you mean by objection letter?
You don't need pre booked flight reservation. Not relevant. Till u get your visa you can book flight.

Your 7days buget for your trip is too small. What of your living cost, transport fare to visit sight attractions, little shopping. Pls work on your budget. Moreso your budget need to include your hotel reservation. U also need six months payslips.

Total buget estimate:-
Flight fare
Accommodation
Living expenses
Transportation fare to visit tourist attractions
Shopping

you only need introduction letter which the body of the letter covers your leave details.

Please post your refusal bf submitting to cross check all

I dont think adding shopping to it is a must, besides i've booked a cheap hostel as to make my budget reasonable

giselle237:
It is a NO objection letter not objection letter
Also in your cover letter try to speak on what basis u were denied the last time and how you have been able to address that in your present application

Pardon my typo, I have no objection letter from my employer

What's needed to be added in your point of view?

Hello gurus in this great forum, I'm submitting my UK visa application soon and below are what i have been able to provide.

1, Employment letter
2, Work ID
3, No objection letter from my employer* corrected
4, 6 months bank statement with payslips
5, Hotel reservation for 7 days
6, Cover letter of my Itinerary
7, Pre booked flight reservation
8, Married certificate and pictures
9, Cover letter explaining the irregularities in my bank statement and prove of rent payment recived
10, Documents of my property

7 days trip costs #359,700 and that includes flight ticket.

Do i still need a leave letter or the Objection letter has covered it or what more is needed?


I need advice

Monmarri:
U can visit any where in London but I will advice if this is your first visit I will advice central London because that is where u will see all the tourist attractions as a visitor. U can check out this hostel BARKSTON ROOMS EARLS COURT. It is in London and still cheap. As for first timer to UK , London is the first place one should think and excited to visit, that is the way I see it.

Thank you

Dolorsa:
Write a cover letter. You should work towards rectifying the reason(s) for your previous refusal because the ECO that will handle your application will definitely make reference to it.

I can do that. Thank you so much

tallestguy:
How long for someone to reapply back, I was refuse on ground that by open balance in last year August too small that maybe I loaded my account my account for six month for the purpose of traveling and that my account could have high than the balance I have.

You can reapply at anytime as long as your circumstance has changed

Seeyat:
There isn't. I'm thinking of writing a cover letter

What do you think?

Additional information is there, i unknowingly omitted it.

Can i write a cover letter or cancel the application and ask for a refund?
Im worried, please enlighten me

giselle237:
there is no question like do you have additional information? Where u’ll answer yes and then write
?

Additional information is there, i unknowingly omitted it.

Can i write a cover letter or cancel the application and ask for a refund?

Please enlighten me on what i can do

Good morning everyone in this great forum,

Has anybody noticed there is no extra sheet on UK application form again, should i be worried?

I have things to explain before submitting my visa application

Hello everyone,

I just completed the visa application and i could not see a last page where i can explain what's needed in details

Is it just me or that is their new portal?

Please advice

[quote author=zakmus post=79569908][/quote]Copied, thanks

giselle237:
It could serve as a letter of introduction, no objection or leave letter. Very importantly let the letter state that you have strong ties with Nigeria especially mentioning how long you have been with the company and as such can not abandon your job ties to go and live in the uk. Also let it mention that you have been granted leave to travel to the UK and you will return to your job after your vacation.

Pls it has to be on company letterhead with original HR or manager’s signature and with email address and phone numbers that are official and working.

Thank you a lot. I will do accordingly. I'm grateful
