i need some help regarding the documents to be provided with the visa application:

my sponsor runs a restaurant,now what documents would i require and which of those need to be the origanal ones<i.e not photo copied>

chris4gold:

well guy am also intrested in travel out of this country, but how sure are you? cantact me on my personal mail for details,opeyemi4gold@gmail.com
Regards
Chris

Why are both of you being lazy, go and get the Forms first then read the instructions and read their requirement, when you don't understand any part of the requirement then ask questions, as the always change and are very dynamic.OK!GO get the form first.

i do have the form, but i want to know if every document provided to the embassy has to be a original one,if i send the original tax returns slip,original bank statement,effadavit,and the photocopy of the restaurant's buisness registration, is it going to be enough evidence for the sponsors financial position.

hey guys, News Update, don't know if you guys are aware of this developments


 

   

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR VISA AND PASSPORT APPLICANTS (09/07/08)



The British High Commission in Abuja and British Deputy High Commission in Lagos regrets to inform its customers that it is unable to offer a full visa service in Nigeria until further notice due to an unavoidable technical failure. From 10 July 2008, the Visa Application Centres in Abuja, Ibadan, Ikeja and Victoria Island will only accept applications from the following categories for onward submission to the Visa Section at the British High Commission in Abuja.
Urgent and compassionate cases (e.g. medical treatment);
Returning residents;
Fast Track applicants (not including those applying under the auspices of the Business Express Programme)
Settlement for Children or urgent/compassionate settlement cases;
EEA Family Permits;
Diplomats and Officials;
DATV and transit visitors;
Long Term Students

 

The reduction in our service is only a temporary measure and we hope to restore a full service to our Nigerian customers as soon as possible. The British High Commission apologises for any inconvenience caused by this disruption and will let its customers know as soon as full service is resumed.

Customers who have already submitted their applications before 09 July 2008 to the Visa Application Centres in Abuja and Ibadan should not be effected by this disruption.

Also, the passport operation in Lagos will be closed until further notice. Emergency passports will be available to British nationals who already hold a British passport and can confirm their British nationality.

Fast Track applicants (not including those applying under the auspices of the Business Express Programme)

ask google the meaning of fast tracking.
those people that have family in uk are not affected.funky,justice where una dey make una explain now

man that simply means if your case is not urgent or priority, you have to wait simple,if you are applying to study short term, you have to wait, no visiting VISA for now, that has to wait, No holidays or touring visa,men shit has hit the fence.

i want to know if every document provided to the embassy has to be a original one,if i send the original tax returns slip,original bank statement,effadavit,and the photocopy of the restaurant's buisness registration, is it going to be enough evidence for the sponsors financial position.

please just want 2 find out
is it compulsory to apply 3 months before your resumption date
because my younger sistas sch is supposed 2 start bysept 27
and she wants 2 apply 4 d visa by August 1st
becos she just paid her fees nd is yet 2 get her receipt nd d oda docs
we got all d oda neccessary doc
just scared about d time frame

Guys does the circumstances above not bother you? all Docs has to be originals as you will get them back.

guys, what happens if you already paid you visa fee( they say it valid for 30 days) and you had not submitted your paper work. how does this Visa ban work?? does anyone know?

For this academic year, international students from outside the EU can apply from 1st of September 2007 to 30th of June 2008. Any application after the 1st of July 2008, goes straight to the clearing procedure.

The only disadvantage of enrolling once the clearing period kicks in, is that it limits one's chances of getting a place on a high-demand course, but does not affect your chance if your course isn't a high-demand one.
