Hello peeps I traveled to uk last month and at the point of exit no immigration officer to check or stamp me out I was wondering if that's how they do I only have entry stamp no exit I ask the cabin crew and she went to ask the pilot and the pilot told her no exit stamps my question is how will dey know I exit the uk tho on exiting I place my pasport at a gate before it allow me pass to board so I guess maybe exit is electronic guys pls explain more

The UK doesn't stamp on exit. They still know exactly when you've left because your airline scans the MRP part of your passport as you check in for your flight home. They then compare this against your boarding pass which is scanned as you board the plane. Airlines automatically send this passport and boarding pass scan data to UKVI, proving your exit.

So, I'm the lady the mum was refused and banned for 10 years under false misrepresentation last month
And I went out of my way to get documents from a UK lawyer stating she owns the business name.
An affidivat claiming she owns the business name
A letter from CAC stating the shes the true owner of business name
A letter from her bank stating she owns the company and they opened an account for business in her name

I'm so happy to tell everyone that she GOT her Visa today with a letter.

Hello Good people. Please i need your advice. I just got a study visa to canada to travel in December but i want to go tru London. Will spend one week in London with my older bro who is a british citizen before i leave for toronto. i was in uk last year tho but the visa has expired.

Now i want to renew my uk visa. will it be a red flag if i tell them that my destination is to go study in canada but am just transiting tru London? Whats the best way to present my visa aplication. Kindly advice.

Hello good people of NL. please kindly help clarify as stated below;

1- My salary varies each month depending on how many hours overtime I work. How do i answer question of how much do you earn per month?

2- I receive outstation allowance for traveling out of Lagos, this money does not appear on payslip but it's usually transferred just like salary, how do i explain this & convince them especially when its more than my salary.

3- My trip will be self sponsored but I plan to stay with a friend who is a Phd student during my visit, is it OK to state that i will stay at his place or I should just book hotel.

4- I plan to travel in December, if i get my visa and decide to go in January, does it have any negative effect especially during future visa application.

Thanks & God Bless You.

Why, Why, Why is it so difficult just to tell the truth?
Just tell the story like you have here.
Look for a ticket that allows you the layover in London. Do not buy it but have the details.
Attach a copy of your school enrolment and payment as evidence.

Keep it simple tell the truth.

If one has a sister who is resident in the UK
and she is the sponsor for a visit but due to
monthly salary deduction (due to loan repayment and contribution to staff cooperative )45000 is deducted at source every month and 20000 is left can one apply for visa since the
sister will take care of all expenses

My opinion is, strictly based on what you have written. It does not show any ties to Nigeria, the sponsor would have no control over the applicant, assuming visa is issued, the applicant is not displaying any form of financial independence, why would the sponsor want to foot all the travelling bills incurred?
Based on all the above, visa might not be granted.

Hi all,

I intend applying on behalf of my mum for a UK visit visa to visit me. She has been denied before because the person who handled her application then messed up, made some silly mistakes: Changed the bookings of the hotel I booked to a different city entirely different from where I am staying in the UK (Glasgow to Belfast) and also made a spending calculation of 100k naira in her application when she had about 2M in her account. So the denial was valid based these reasons.

So my question, we intend using my dads account statement this time around, and he has written a sponsor letter stating hes sponsoring all her expenses (flight cost, spending money and application fees). should he include a specific amount in the letter? do I need to include my mums account statement and payslips in the application? my dad visit the UK regularly, do I need to include a copy of his visa page in her application?


Thank you very much guys

Just explain the truth when you get there.
Have statements or pay slips to back it up.

Thanks @ worry. I had to cancel the first application and applied and paid anoda visa fee. So my appointment at TLS is now tomorrow.I was told they refund money.i hope they will refund me my 1st visa application fee. Thanks...

We have answered this sort of question far too many times here and i personal don't like repeating it again.

He needs to submit all his school documents...student ID, progress result(his last result), admission letter and letter from his school permitting him to travel outside Nigeria PLUS the documents you will be sending him
