Cashmadam:
No need to transfer any funds into your account. Provide your statements of account and proof that your employer is willing and able to sponsor the trip. The money transferred can appear like "account padding" if you are not careful.

Thanks for your response.In order not to make it look like account padding,my employer will write a letter of Sponsorship to correlate the amount.

They just want to be sure that the visa is granted because the previous refusal stated that the balance in my account doesn't reflect my current financial position.

They'll only ask you the basic stuff unless you give a wrong vibe/not answering confidently. Why are you here? Where are you staying? What will you be doing? When will you be returning? Just the norms

Their is nothing like conference visa.

Hi. Good afternoon everyone.

I want to apply for a visitor’s visa but I was told biometrics and medicals aren’t required. How true is this please?

Lizboh:
I applied for Visit visa I was rejected, I don't understand what happened....I'm self employed. I need to know how soon I can apply again because I want to meet up with my sister that I've not seen for more than 10yrs, she is coming to the UK from America

Hello everyone,

I’m about to apply for a standard UK visitor visa for my wife. We plan on traveling together over the holidays, but my wife was refused a visa when we applied earlier this year. I already had a 2 year visa which was granted in 2022 by the time we applied for her visa.

She was refused because the clearance officer felt her monthly income (N450,000) was too little to pay for the expected cost of the trip (N800,000) even though she had about 12k USD in her personal dom accounts. This was also even though we had put that I (as her husband) would sponsor the entirety of her trip and I had enough income (N1.5M per month) and savings (25k USD) to cover the costs.

Can any visa gurus advise on the best way going forward to avoid another refusal. Please note we later applied for a France Schengen visa a few weeks after her refusal and were granted the visa so it’s quite confusing why the UK denied her.

Thanks a lot!

If it’s truly your employer sponsoring then I see no reason why you have to do collaboration on the finances . Sir, Anyway from day 1, I have not been sold on the story you telling so try convincing yourself first then the ECO second before us on nairaland. We come third.

giselle237:
Ofcourse there maybe other things but the refusal letter clearly stated this as reason for refusal. Sayin the sponsored person had no funds.. the sponsored person had entered the sum twice. When refusal letters are presented it is always better to air on the side of caution which is simply what I have told the poster.

either is fine.. just make sure both accounts are submitted

You can add either the contribution statement of account from the co-operative showing your savings so far or a bank statement showing the amount leave your bank each month.

If your tenant pays rent to a different bank account then please add the statement from that bank too and then write a cover letter to explain and give context.

Recently, I completed my sister-in-law’s visit visa application and I did not she did some saving with a cooperative which was deducted from her salary each month so we explained this in the letter and added her payslip showing the deducted amount with the name of the cooperative. Her visa was granted

Sorry, I no longer engage in personal discussions outside of this platform.

It appears that you are want to complicate issues for yourself for no reason.

Focus on your salary and the sponsorship from your employer. You don't need to prove you earn extra income from other sources.

Unless there is something you are not telling us.

The ECO said aside the monthly income, there are unexplained deposit. That's why Cover Note and Cover Letter including Supporting documents is needed. In your cover note and Cover letter, let the ECO know that other transfer asides salary is from so so so income and you have included so so so supporting documents to prove it's source. That way you have a say Incase it gets omitted or skipped. The ECO wasn't curious of why the company is sponsoring you but that could be the reason for the next so please digest the advise above me.

Cashmadam:
You are complicating things for yourself. I'm getting a bit confused. Is your employer sponsoring you or are you sponsoring yourself? Kindly clarify.

This social club thing and rent will complicate issues.

My suggestion remains: Focus on building your savings, keep your salary account clean and reapply sometime next year.
