Anybody holding you to that needs to get his/her head properly examined.

One more thing,,,,,

Visa refusals are not all about Refusals of earlier visa applications, and you can be refused and not given the direct reason why you are refused as most people will interprete on their own understanding ,,,


But hold me to my word , no UK visa application will deny you Visa for a schengen or EU, visa denial earlier eith decleared or not .

Gracias ...

READ and SHARE SIR.

Not as simple as you think it is , Its the persons who handle you application and they have more experience than themselves ...

Younger Caseworkers are more intensive and still have been very deep in exerting their knowledge or training beforehand, and it is visible in the way they take decisions...

The older and more experienced work a little flexibly and allow some loopholes here and there, with projection on the purpose rather than the description.

A case worker who is experienced may see an application with a strong 2.1 CGPA and who has a master's admission in a program that would further help the applicant grow and knows the input of that degree into what they already have may ignore home ties and even finance to grant the visa ...

when a visa is rejected most of the time, the next caseworker is a more experienced person that handles it and thats why you noticed that most second or third application is successful.

Deep search of information is mostly by unexperineced or flagged applicant through their initial application form.

The application is not even done by one person because it goes through stages of review, at least 2 people.

So for declaring refusals


CANADA refusal--- Declear in US visa

UK visa refusal ---- Declear Ireland Visa

Schengen refusal---- declare all in schengen

Australia refusal------ declear New Zealand.

olola4:
Thank you for this! People often underestimate how risky migrant from third world countries are, like u are coming from a country with Boko Haram, ISIS, Bandits and the likes - meanwhile they also know how dishonest we are so they are not even expecting u to say the truth that's why there are extra checks which includes enhanved immigration history checks to make sure u won't be a terror in their country.

That's too much na

Anugoson:
They only refunded £6400 and stated that £4000 is non-refundable as it is stated on their website 😢

Listen and learn... when you still have the time...

olola4:
Dey play...when it comes to immigration all Western countries share information, they call it something aliance, ur international passport details automatically pull up/reveal ur life record and immigration history in any western country and each country u av ever applied to have to log ur activities including visa refusal, this is an open secret.

AGENT, wey u dey listen to, You fit get sense pass am.

Nothing more .

adisaogo:
Honestly I seriously regret that decision right now, I didn't want to declare cause I saw no need, my agent insisted and she was the one that submitted the application.


My colleague that went this January had a previous Canada visa refused and he said he didn't declare it, my friend also has same experience with Canada but didn't declare it to UKVI and got his Visa without issues.

Why would you even declare a Spanish visa rejection, even at the Embassy level?

The UK doesn't see your Schengen rejection anymore because it is no longer in the EU.

The only threat is refusal of a UK visa application for Ireland, which comes up immediately after your application is entered in the UKVI.

The other search must be initiated, and this is called a DEEP SEARCH!

If your application is straightforward, there is no need for a deep search, unless something is amiss.

There was a NO-NEED declaring SPAIN denial.

adisaogo:
Good day house
My CAS request was just rejected by University of Salford and the reasons they gave is because I declared I has a previous student visa denied by Spain in 2025. I want to ask if anyone has experienced this before as i want to appeal but they are nor giving any room for reconsideration. I'll appreciate any advise

Travelling is not this ambiguous, my people,


I remember a scenario: we applied for a visit visa, used a bulk money account, borrowed 30 million, and applied for a visa... The visa was rejected, and we had already paid the person till the day we submitted the visa application.

Money has been removed from the account, and we already paid.

The next day, we said we were reapplying, and we went to VFS and submitted the application. This time, na 200k balance, and the bulk money has left... Visa took 6 Days! APPROVED.

Sometimes the things you read online are blabadash.

Oluseun234:
You are right but in Nigeria of today, is there any other way of steadily increasing your account balance for such a goal except financial investment options. Pls don't bother to even suggest any physical business because we have committed an enormous amount in two hyped types but yielded poor revenues. So my relative is looking at fixed deposits until 2031/32.

Honestly we are fed up! ☹️

I swear, you dey very wicked.... 80 Pounds for God's sake, TINUBU Eh..... VO sees him as a fly-Risk

Wotowotoman:
You are a family man that makes 80 pounds per month in Naija and you dey wonder why dem refuse you visa to visit UK. Wetin be this?

Yes, VFS Global for South African visa applications in Nigeria has closed for the year 2025 for submissions as of December 18, 2025, with full closure for holidays, including the South African Consulate, from December 24, 2025, and services (visa submissions/collections) are set to resume on January 5, 2026.

where ever u went to submit your own application is still a mystery.

Restaurant92:
Thought? That is not accurate, always rely on official sources. The whole place (Lagos) was a hive of activity for the different applications they handle for different countries.

How far did you get the Passport?

Thought they went on holiday? how did you submit?

Restaurant92:
Thank you guys, I submitted my application today. I didn't even know South Africa visa is that cheap. All those agents don chop my money in the past. I paid 66k for everything today, which is inclusive of premium lounge and courier return. I was surprised to observe that the actual visa fees asides service fees is just 10k.

You read a lot of Western propaganda about Russia. That place is good

Kaczynski:
So is russia except that things are very bad in russia.


Russia is just nigeria with snow.

1. SA almost has no set processing time, just apply 3 months before your travel date and expect a good time for them to process it

2. VFS won't be holding onto you passport , it will be returned to you after you application is submitted at VFS.

arcis:
Hello guys, Please I have two questions to ask.

1. Please whats the processing time for SA Visiting Visa application for frequent traveler.

2. After the documents submission, will they keep my original passport till a decision is made?

Kindly help with these two questions.

Thank you in advance.

One love

Don't say anything, submit the whole application, and your passport will be given back to you. The embassy ( VFS) will call, and you will bring it back to them

metodman:
So, what can that person say at the VFS OFFICE on Monday? I really thought they hold on to your passport until decisions are made. Just to be clear, the person is travelling to another country.

The passport won't be submitted in the first place. They can apply and travel, as long as they will return at the embassy's request.

metodman:
Hi guys, I trust you are good.

So, I have someone going to VFS to submit his application on Monday. However, the person needs to travel soon, and might not be able to submit his passport. What would be your advice?


Thank you so much

For that certificate, I think they are making money for some persons because the agents downstairs would do a quick printout of our useless acknowledgement letter from a ministry, I think this guys just do these things in Tandem.

You should apply 3 months before, not before, that's correct,

500Km, Na Yobe, you dey come?

ayodejiadetoro:
I visited the VFS center in Abuja for my South Africa visitor’s visa appointment, which I am applying for in order to undertake a postdoctoral fellowship, and I encountered two issues:

1)Upon reviewing my yellow card, I was asked to obtain a yellow card certificate from the Ministry of Health because they were unable to verify it online due to the yellow fever website being down.

2) I was told that I had booked my appointment too early. They stated that appointments should be made no more than three months before the intended travel date, whereas I had scheduled mine 3 month and two weeks. So, I was 2weeks early.

These requirements were new to me and my friends, despite having gone through the process before. None of this information is available on the VFS website. I traveled over 500 km to Abuja and paid over ₦29,000 to book this appointment

Has anyone heard or experienced this before?

What you are trying to say is the CERTIFICATE of Immunization that must be attached to your Yellow Fever Card. They ask for that now, and the Hustlers outside will charge between 7-10k to do it for you. For premium u probably choose it in your own application unknowingly.

Modupe1981:
Hello good people in the house

I and my two kids went for submission today and we were giving crazy bill's today,they said couriers is compulsory 9000naita, we were charge for premium 18000naira all multiply by three. Applicant's, Photocopy color2k black and white 1k, another charges my husband C.A.C 7k for legalized and my children birth certificate 7k for legalized, pls house is this charges normal? As any anyone done cac legalization before at south Africa submission center,, they rejected our application when we refused to pay the crazy bills

This Guy must be going through a lot. He has not reached out; I'm sure it is not a very good situation for him.

Stay strong bro.

we miss you.

i NEED ONE SIRE HOW DO I REACH YOU AND I HAVE YO COMFRIM IT BEFORE PAYMENT

Gd0007:
I can provide you with a proof of accomodation. Like a guest house for the numbers of days you want to stay for a fee..

OP still in pains about his passport na why we never see am oooo

[quote author=stillmaticOG post=137283169][/quote]When did you apply for a visa? You are showing me tracking, Visa that takes at least 30 days to be approved, and this tracking can be anything and not visa-related. And what app is this? It has been suspended; call the embassy to confirm.

Most people don't know that where people avoid is the place to make it .....

If you give some people ( Nigerians) a USA visa in Cambodia to leave, they will beat you!


Nowhere is bad, people dey village inside EKITI dey make am, most replies you see here are just people who can afford nothing but data, sharing what they read online. The first time I was in Moscow, I saw white people everywhere, the kind of love I saw in Moscow, I have not had it in Nigeria.

Anywhere you want to, Just go there .

stillmaticOG:
This is false. You should get your facts right. Families are still getting visas. The only difference now is that if you don't apply for your family before getting a trc, you will have to wait 2 years before you would be eligible for family reunification

You are the one who should get your facts right because you are on Nairaland arguing with someone who is in the POOL....

xyrexzmanto:
I will like to move with my family to Portugal, but how can I really go about it.

You can no longer move with family as a master's student until you have lived 2 years in Portugal and/or have a job paying 1020 Euros monthly at least. Most people don't know this information yet, even people studying in Portugal now have their family visa rejected in Nigeria. By 2026, Portugal will be worse than the UK in immigration of families.

Please, Anyone here who can help get a Visit visa appointment in Lagos ?

Only Legit people , drop your email for contact, its quite urgent,

Or better still if you can explain, we need an appointment in at least 2 weeks from today.

Are you replying to me based on what you heard or are you in Portugal?

No one, No Jobseeker Gets Residency in 6months..... none!

The only and fastest way to Residency is tru Study for 6 Months maximum if you meet the requirements.

Job seeker is another Manifestation of Interest but a Faster approach.

You get a job and go for your appointment, with your job contract, Then for the next 3 months, your TAX is reviewed.

This is where it gets tricky, A Portuguese employer doesn't file Taxes for you because they pay you by hand, ( they are also beating the system).

How then do you file your Taxes? You approach a lawyer and he/she uses the minimum wage to arrange your taxes and help you document them, this is also expensive.

If you get an Employer who will pay you by Your Tax account, you will earn less because he will also pay direct taxes for you than some who pays you by hand, this person who pays you by hand will pay you more.

lady25:
I really appreciate it that you are looking out for people. But it's not that bad.
1.You don't need lawyer for Job seeker visa. Maybe those that used the tourist visa do. But for jobseeker visa you don't need a lawyer
2. Once you get a job every other thing is settled.
Although getting a job can be a VERY difficult but if u have a skill and basic knowledge of portugese you are good to go. A friend got a plumbing job in two weeks. I got mine a little later. Some people get jobs some don't. You never know till you try. Everyone has different grace. But trust me the job seeker visa is the best path to getting your residency. If all goes well in less than 6 months you have your card. But like I said getting the job is most important
3. The language. Please and please learn before you come. It makes your lire easier... I wish I did. It would even help get a job speedily
4.please come with enough money to sustain you till you get a job. U don't want to sleep outside o. Come with money. Lol

This Jobseeker and Job seeker wey I dey hear everywhere .... Una dey try to ask the people wey don enter Portugal with this visa, HOW FAR?

This visa is a TRAP, making life very difficult for those already on the ground.

From No JOBS to bringing a PERMIT and not Recognizing your JOBSEEKER visa .... Many things are happening inside.

Don't forget that getting the Job is not even the toughest, The TAX (3-6 months), as Portuguese employers don't file your tax for you, You have to pay a lawyer or accountant to file your invincible TAXES.

Make your inquiries oo, apart from say the Visa Rejection rate sef LOUD.

After FRANCE rejected him

hunee:
With this your travel history, re apply for spain. The chances are high, but visit Bls before you re apply. They will guide you on payment. Goodluck
