You need to submit all that and use the blank space in application form to explain more about any money paid into your bank account that has no paper evidence to show the source of the money

yasuleiman: Goodmorning, i use my current account for my transactions. Customers mostly pay cash, while those that in large quantities use the bank. Most times when i order for goods i use internet banking. Also, our family estate agent remit money accruing from properties willed to us by our late father.
On paper evidences on earnings, i only have invoice booklets, a copy of will.

justwise: Does your bank statement show the source of your income now? Can you provide paper evidences of your earnings?

That matters a lot.You need to state why you were refused a visa on those two occasions

Vicjustice: Why are you looking for a short cut over something that take process?
If it is not mandatory for the company to pay taxes because it is new, wouldn't the company be demed ineligible to be used for visa application.
Why not let the company go through the normal regulation before applying for the visa?
Well, this is a Nigerian revenue matter, I'm not an expert in it

Vicjustice: It is not only how the money comes in that they want to see, but rather also, (as a self employed owner of the company), the Visa Officer will be interested to see how genuine both you and the company are: and to prove your legitimacy, you must have up-to-date tax records otherwise, you would be considered as a business man in corruption.
I like to recommend that you apply for the visa in due time when you have the revenue paperworks.
If you have proper documentations and you have good taxes records, i see no reason why you'd be refused a visa.
PAY YOUR TAXES

Vicjustice: PAY YOUR TAXES

justwise: 2weeks is not even 28 working days yet which is the minimum number of days it takes them to respond to review case.

justwise: You can email them to know if they have received your review paper, but reviews or appeal takes time.

adesojiaderemi@:
18)What that means is that;you can apply as a principal applicant with your wife and kid(s) as beneficiaries and simultaneously apply again using your wife as the principal applicant and make yourself and the kid(S) beneficiaries.In that case you are using two stones to kill one bird (That was what I did). If you are not selected, your wife may be selected in either case you still win.

19) Some people are "smart ass" trying to beat the system by adding their name as beneficiary to other man's wife or husbands i.e attaching yourself to almost/over 50 different entries.

live_wire: There are alot to consider for the picture.

17. Its so funny but if you are married with 100 children the photo specifications must be observed for each child and uploaded accordingly with their details.

18. You are only permitted to apply once.but it is possible you apply twice legally but this is only for married folks where the husband or man apply as the principal applicant and the wife or woman as the spouse likewise the wife or woman as the pricipal and the husband as the spouse.

19. But the case where the guy is mapped to multiple girls and viceversa might get u a visa to your village. LMAO.

22. Good luck and God bless the federal Republic of Nigeria.

Peace!!!

justwise: Why is that confusing then?

justwise: With review no additional document is allowed, only in the case of appeal that you are allowed to include additional documents to support your appeal.

ECM will only go through the decision made by ECO again to see if the decision to refuse you a visa was right, if the decision goes on your favour then you will be called to submit your passport.

justwise: You can't include additional documents.

jt2010: Abuja.Visa.CorrespondenceUnit@fco.gov.uk or visa.lagos@fco.gov.uk

jt2010: The monthly payment slips is a example documentary evident that you/ur business pay you for services you rendered to the company. It help to demonstrate that you and your company are separate entity and also maintenance a good accounting practice. I believe the contractual agreement between u and the agent may help your case (just incase you want to reapply) or better still you can remove the documents if it will make your application complicate unless much of your income come from such investment.

Also, should i call or e.mail them 2 knw the status of our review or i shud i re-apply again. To me, no problem in emailling them to know the status of your review but whether to re-apply again immediately is something i will advise you relax for a little while... but just wait for the experts live VIC, JUSTWISE AND CO... to advise you on that....

jt2010: Base on the bolder part, you ought to have included a Monthly payment slip for Six months and duplicate copies of Receipts of rent paid to you by your tenants and any other transactions documents of the incomes.

yasuleiman: @justwise & other u.k travel experts. Well done on the wonderful job you are doing. Please assist,
My family(i.ewife, child&I)applied 4 visa as a general visitor twice&refused.

The documents i submitted are;
*C.A.C-certificate of biz name(newly registered)
*my savings&current acct
*my wifes' saving acct
*used cash sale invoice(i deal in generators,spare-parts e.t.c)
*wedding certificate
*several pictures 4rm wedding
*my childs' birthday certificate
*hotel reservation
*flight booking

The reasons for the 1st refusal;
*earn ₦210,843.16/mth as a self employed
*the documents i submitted relating 2 d business circumstances did not indicate my earnings
*that i have failed 2 submit unambiguous evidence of my income such as my income tax clearance certificate
*though they acknowledge that they have seen my personal bank statements indicating enough funds available,but without satisfactory evidence 2 d origin of these funds.
After d first refusal,i contacted my lawyer. He had 2 address d complaints.So, on d 2nd application, we included;
*copy of letter showing my tax exemption til 2015 (In Oyo state, its not mandatory for a newly registered company to pay income tax until after 3yrs of commencement of biz)
*the copy of wil of my late father(cos i stated in the form that i also generate earnings from other source i.e late fathers' property)

To my surprise, it was refused the 2nd time. The reasons are;
*the amount i earn as a self employed businessman is the precise monthly income, but submitted no evidence of this
*my bank statements does not reflect deposits commensurate with my declared income
*no evidence of income from property

After the 2nd refusal, my lawyer advised we apply 4 administrative review. On the 18th june, 2012, we applied and sent it through registered mail 4rm Nigerian Post office to BHC office in Abuja. Til now, i have not gotten an acknowledgement or reply from BHC office.

What assurance do i have that they have gotten my mail. Do i need to send an e.mail or try to call them to confirm our status. Maybe i should just sit down and pray

Vicjustice: It is allowed to do both ie, to make a fresh application while administrative review is pending on previous application.
But you could have explained the reason for that refusal so you may get appropriate advice and suggestions
