FrontPageLawyer:
Next time you must read the thread thoroughly because these same questions have been treated here severally.

(a) How much you spend monthly in Nigeria for Feeding, transportation, utility bills, subscription etc. Sum it up, then convert to "£"using www.oanda.com

(b) Total you wish to spend on the trip, sum up feeding, accommodation, aeroplane, transportation (Be realistic with your budget and it must commensurate with your financial circumstances)

(c) Same as (b) accept you want to add miscellaneous.

(d) Amount you want to spend in the UK for food, transport, shopping, tour etc

The process is not really different. Fill the forms online, make payment & book appointment.

Attend your appointment with a print out of your application form, appointment confirmation, receipt of payment and other documents.

Gtb MasterCard (Token needed) worked for me and my brother.

Mine took less than 5days, My brother about 7days and we both submitted in VI. (Their Processing times vary for some people 15 working days or more)

The link below explains all much better

justwise:
I read those 3 questions and thought you should know the answers since this is your 3rd UK visiting visa application and all the answers are here as well....that was why i skipped your post.

Interesting...

iblaw:
My suggestion:
1. Ask your company Finance dept to write a letter stating why your salary is paid into your account as cash deposit
2. 6 months statement is required
3. You can get started with this link and follow this thread daily to learn more. https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome

Dropped a comment at 9:38am

*clears throat*

Good morng fam.
its been quite stime i dropped any comment but i read up almost all the time.

And actually, i shall be renewing 5yrs UK visa soon but i read up sthg recently which worries me. its the cash crediting of salary.

Nthg is likely goin to chnge in my approachin 5yrs application compared to d docs of d 2yrs visa, i still work same place, though there is a salary review and a letter of promotion to dat effect jus like d 2yrs too wen my salary was reviewed as a result of promotion, but my statement usually shows, cash deposited by xyz company (xyz month salary)

So having read sthg lately abt cash credits, i thot to ask abt my case.

Please help a member, like i said, i will have a copy of my employment letter in my application, intro letter stating my designation, annual pay and leave approval dates as usual, promotion letter dated to wen i received it, payslips, my ID, bank statement, invite lettter, her ID and British pp datapage.

my travel history is uk, america, expired un-used french visa, gambia, rwanda and ghana.... all holiday trips.

Please advice, my 3 questions are as follows:
- the concerns i raised as regards the cash deposits salary entries from my company to my salary account
- how many months bank statement is required, am hearing its reduced to 3, used to be 6months
- then whole process of applying, i hear thgs have chnged slightly in the last one yr, i wud like a breakdown of how to go abt it.


tnx in anticipation.

Wakanow.....
Imagine buying a ticket that allows you a date change(clearly/boldly specified on the eticket) should there be any plan to change your dates at a fee though, which is relatively ok.
Try missing that flight or ask for a date change, and God help you, you are left with Loius (there "supposed" quality ctrl rep who has no close idea on service delivery promptly) to resolve issue..
Wakanow will make u regret pursuing a visa in the first place, i am typing from experience.

Father Lord.... i have endless Questions for you...
Did u really create us all here in your own image?

Hi NL,

Thank you all for the past help, i learnt alot on NL which helped to get a safe landing for my US and France Visas, i apprecaite you all.

I am just a travelling freak! its time to see what Canada is like, would lke to go later in the year during my annual leave.

I have 2yrs UK visa, it expires in Nov, i should most likely renew 5yrs and renew my un-used France Visa around Nov. My US visa still runs till Nov 2016.... i would like to apply for a Canada Visit/Tourist Visa. i intend to go the hotel reserve way like i did with the US, kindly throw an insight on what i need to present to the V0, the docs required, how much time it takes and sureties...

i have been working with an Oil n Gas Coy for 4yrs, i earn above 200k a month, i have a fixed deposit of 6m with GTB and about a balance of 2m(accrued) in my salary account, i also have a car...

i count on our detailed help.

you did not even get back as to describing wat is available, you are sayin come for inspection.... when, how, where?

thats above the buyers budget, He mentioned maryland axis precisely for the mainland part, shonibare, gcappa etc, doesnt even mind a 2bed BQ

have you got any 2bedroom flat, goin for 8 to 10m on the island or mainland? i have an urgent buyer.

Hello fam...

Quick one pls, i got a France Visa in Dec that ran for 3months, expired march 24th 2015, sadly i couldnt use the visa.
Reason was, my 1month hoils from work was frm 22nd dec to 25th Jan, so i arrived london 23rd, so the plan was to go to paris by train from london and my date to arrive france was from boxing day 26th, and that was about the period they had terrorist attack, charlie sthg? so it was unsafe to to go or plan it again after the new year as paris wasnt fully settled still. So jan 25th came and i returned to lagos to resume work and couldnt get off work again to use the visa.

Would i be granted if i re-apply when i can go again?

Hello All....

Am back from America, itwas fun.

Please i need help with VisitVisa to Canada, kindly guide me on the requirements and visa process.

Tnx
Vuit.

ok, itwas my first time ever, but i didi alot of thorough research and read up alot here and there from pple and NL which has eventually helpd to land the Visa (excuse my abbreviaitions, bbm has destroyed me)

My appointment was 7.30am, i got there an hour earlier. everything went well from the que, thru the checks to thumbprint and biometrics. my almost a month back to back fear suddenly left me when i started payin attn to the hall, like how you get rejected within a wink from the questions being asked, to how applicants answer and try to defend and convince the VO up to dressing.... my fear left bt i said to myslf, i am getting my visa, finally 072 was called, i catwalked to window 4 and thus was the convo:


VO: Hi goodmorng
Me: gudmorng and how are you today?
VO: am great and you?
Me: feels good to be here
Vo: so where in the Us are u going?
Me: Manhattan
Vo: and wot wud u b doing in manhattan?
Me: its my holiday so i am goin to have fun then i point to my finger, am engaged so this wud help me window shop on wedding dresses
Vo: oh hmmnn ur weddding? congrats, where wud be getting married?
Me: Nigeria ofcourse.
Vo: ok good, so what does ur fiance do?
Me: he's a pilot with XYZair
Vo: oh so hes not based in Nigeria, how do u keep up?
Me: he is home for 3weeks after his 8weeks on rotation (work/flying)
Vo: and you work where?
Me: am a facility mgt officer with xyz
Vo: ok fantastic, congratulations, here is a slip, pick ur pp on wed
Me: hmmnnn tnx, have a gud day!

i got my visa this morning.......... thank you Lord, thank you NL, thank you friends.

i got my visa this morning.......... thank you Lord, thank you NL, thank you friends.

noperson:
Why do pple lie without doing proper research? If you have really ever applied for the US visa, you will know that it is your application confirmation page info that you book the interview with. So what's with the lie that you filled the visa form 20mins before your interview or your mum filled hers the morning of the interview, so how did you book for the interview in the first place

And this goes to those that allow touts at the embassy entrance to cajole you into refilling your forms at the premises before entering the embassy is waste of money and time. The reason your name is on the check-in list is because all previous applications and interviewees for that date has been processed with your application information and list printed. So you refilling your application prior to entering the embassy does not alter or update the previous information you had submitted

Olodo!!!
To book appointment, all you need is your form number and bank reference, your form could be half way filled and saved, it had a ref number to which you can book appointment with. and in your time befor the appointment, you can finish up filling the form and submit....
Ha!
who says your form must be completely filled before gettin appointment? hian!
you pipu wii kii me sha one day!
