Gurus in the house...justwise and CO.
Pls am planning of applying for UK tourist visa 6 months just to spend 9 days vacationing hoping to spend 650k. I'm working with a company with a salary of 320k and I have 6 months salary account statement with 800k closing, married with kid.
Pls what are my chances of getting the visa though I have an unused valid visa from One of South America country.

Nobody here can honestly answer that just submit a good application, your salary level is good just don't spend more than 2months of your salary.

Don't forget to add the breakdown of your expenditure

Good day everyone. Plz where do u find d gwf number? coz I can’t see it anywhere.

Thanks

Its in your application form, the moment you created and account for visa application GWF number will be given to you and it will appear on your completed application form

Please hear this, so I wish to apply for a 6months visit visa, I work with a salary of 100k, but my boss been paying me 60k since March due to economic downturns,now it has improved, he recently made a payment of the outstanding salaries amounting to 160k and it's a small company, so I don't have a pension account to print for this application, and oh sometimes he pays me with his main account and not the company account I think just once.

I also have a side small business ,I sell wears and shoes on jumia and also dress people up, help people go to the market and buy clothes, which I am been paid for, which explains the other monies that enters my account apart from salary, I have jumia's vendor ID card to support as jumias deposits reflects in my statements and also has a page on IG where I sell too. Which makes my mothly income to 150k 200k sometimes.

Now I learnt here I don't have to spend moredan 4times my salary in a trip , and my brother inlaw is taking up my flight and hotel fee for the five days I intend to spend in the uk ,pls what documents do I need to present on my part and his. And would you advice he sponsors or I let him out, I have inflow and outflow, eventho most times I transfer from my fidelity to the main account I intend to use gbt and my closing will be 2m or 1.5 as people are oweing me a lot..

Sorry for the long talks, thanks again

You need to read this thread regarding documents to submit because we have answered this sort of questions far too many times.

Whether you want to sponsor the trip or your brother inlaw you still need to proof that you have a strong tie to Nigeria, looking at your salary level you will need to spend more than 5months of your salary on 5days trip.

If your brother inlaw wants to sponsor you he can but you still need to provide those documents to support your tie to Nigeria.

Your side business without any document to support it will hardly be taken seriously.

Awwww, ok. I had always wanted to go for a 3 weeks summer course for some time now, i wasnt too sure i could make it this year so I didnt put many things in place.Eventually, i decided to give it a try.I had filled my form and was about to submit when i realised the category of visa i picked wasnt right.Thank God for the confirmation letter that was sent to me.Had to change from tourist visa to short term study.Time wasnt on my side, submitted on May 30th.Available date was 6th june through prime time which i clicked mistakenly.It was a day to biometric i discovered i wud need to pay.Long story short I paid online, went for my biometric and prayed i get a response after 3 weeks(june 27th) before the course starts on the 2nd of july.my paasport was eventually returned to me on 29th (not without drama with dhl) and travelled next day.Coming to this platform, I discovered things that i wouldnt have done if i hadnt come: cover letter (which i did after submission thank God i checked here befr biometric).I wrote alot of things from itinerary, to financial status, what I do etc. My mind was playing tricks on me cos I submitted a 5 mnths statement for both my salary acct and company acct, made bulk transfers a week before biometric, forgot to include i was denied US (i didnt remember at first), was confused when i was asked in the form if i have a relative in the uk which i responded No because of the clause written there meanwhile my cousin invited me in my previous application that i was denied...so it was a crazy moment for me while waiting cos a 2000 pounds non-refundable for my course was at stake if i was denied and didnt inform the school with proof before the course starts. I jst have a feeling the cover letter got my back.

You are very lucky to pull this through. Enjoy your time in the UK

Congratulations!

Tickets r quite pricey.. I'm looking to travel in August.. who knows of how to get cheap ticket biko.

Thank you but I haven't gone to submit my documents should I just notify them before I submit?

Contact the embassy to inform them.

Omg I've not gone to the visa application centre to summit but I've printed out the form does that mean the visa is not sure or what can I do pls reply Asap Marylander
enlight me

marylanderr:



Have you already submitted the form? If you put a certain amount there, then it means you are paying for part of the trip which you should clarify on the extra info page.

Otherwise if she is fully sponsoring the trip as a gift, then you need to put 0.

Good luck

Hello gurus in the house, hope your week is going well? And family ?

Thing is do I need introduction letter from this store (Mr Biggs) or leave letter? As I was employed by word of mouth and have been working here ever since

Please what do you guys advice justwise, marylanderr

I would advice you state it in your cover letter...that someone is sponsoring your trip but you have the 93k for miscellaneous or pocket money

Thanks.

I later realized yesterday. I’m on track now.

I've been a silent follower of this thread for a while now, kudos to all the gurus providing help and advise. I applied for renewal in Abuja on the 5th of this month and today makes it 13 working days, I am tired of refreshing my mail for decision and pickup mail lol....who else is in my shoes? I wish everyone the best of luck with their application.
