hi y'all
kindly let me know what documents pple who have visited d uk once, twice or more in d past needs to present with
their passports when renewing or applying for a 2 or 5 years uk visit visa these days?
[b]do dey still need to present a visit invitation from a uk resident?[/b]the uk visa forms r getting too long n complicated these days & some ridiculous questions too
the u.s one is just straight forward online - uk used to b like that b4 (not online tho)
but i prefer d uk's way of applying 4 a visa these days tho

justwise:

Yes u still need an IV or hotel booking, the process is still the same as the first time u applied.

ceasyc:

I'm here again, to rant this time around, come tuesday, I'll be going to the UK for studies, I booked my flight with a Travel bureau and gave me a kind of "electronic ticket receipt" with the flight details on it. I think I'm ok with that? What must I do on getting to the airport? Cuz my first and the last (till date) visit to the airport was when i was a kid. I'll like to know the usual process like the entrance to the counter, to the security check, bla bla bla as i don't want people to look at me like "WTF!! Who is this guy??" I'm just nervous, though i know it's not worth it. *Rant over*Thanks.

former:

Thanks justwise, you've been of immense help all through, i think they'll also ask about my accomodation? though a friend will pick me up from the airport and accomodate me, is it justwise if i tell them that I'll be staying with a friend? I've got his address and phone number. Thanks

@all:

in other words, he'd still be based in nigeria and i'd be based in canada but with a visit visa to uk, we can meet up there periodically until his canadian papers (permanent residency) are approved.

would a visit visa be better becasue my hubby just got a new job in nigeria and i have strong ties to canada so he can say that he has no intention of staying in uk, only to visit?

please advise

Hello Nairalandas, I checkd d vfs ikeja centre for appointment bookin but no free day in february, i want to know if i can just drive down there without booking an appointment wit them.

I have been married for 6 years now, blessed with 3 boys. We only did traditional married and I don't have a married certificate for now. What will happen if I intent to apply for a VISA to any country without married certificate to this effect? For now, we’ve not done the legal wedding, I mean to sign papers and get a married certificate. What will happen when they see that my married certificates date is recent date knowing fully well that we had a traditional married 6 years back with 3 children?

mr.man:


Abeg,i need answer to my question ooo

You will need that marriage certificate 4sure, you can back date it to the very year u got married, not sure if that is legally possible though.

Thanks, but dating a married certificate could backfire considering the fact that they could verified if I am actually married on that date or not. Don't you think so?

That was why i said that i'm not sure if its legally possible.

You can do court marriage and get marriage certificate.

where r u? if in 9ja go and swear/do an affidavit or declaration of marriage in a court near u = accepted everywhere

Hey People,

I have not been on here for a while, I have a quick question for the guru's in the house (especially funkybaby).
I have a cousin who's entitled to a certificate of abode as he's father was a naturalised British citizen at the time of his birth and he is just about to apply for it with his sisters. The problem here is that, he and one of his sisters are already married but with no kids. The Certificate of Abode form VAF7 I believe is for those entitled to it which would be himself and his sisters. So, I am wondering, Would either of their partners have to fill a VAF 7 with them to apply for a Certificate of Abode as well as the UKBA website doesn't shed more let on this?

Hello,

I have a somewhat similar ques to the one above, how would a bizman prove his income, the money that goes thru his personal account isnt like a salaried one, where the visa oficial can cancel out payslip payments from the account statements.

Any advise on how to put the across in the application?

sarnneth:

Ma ppl abeg. I want to renew my visa and my husband will do a fresh application at d same time. He is a biz man. Pls which documents does he need to submit to show proof of biz. Den his biz has been run through his savigs acct n not biz acct. Is dat an issue?

concrete:

another question:

though i'm a british citizen, i'm not settled there (though the intention is to do so). anyhoo, i don't have a national insurance card/# (though i'll request for one upon my arrival there)

looking through the application that my hubby has to fill out, i'm seeing that this is something they're requesting for. i was told that it wasn't necessary for me to have in order to sponsor my hubby. can anyone confirm this for me? that holding the passport was enough

scopusng:

yes, i am based in Nigeria. Thanks.
