Yes to whom it may concern is fine.

I just went through the process.

Chudycharles:


Please did you apply for the statement of comparability along side the main English Proficiency stuff.

Blessedsteph:


My only advice is to please declare that you had been refused visa in the past, state why. They like honesty. If you leave out this information it may lead to them banning you for 10yrs.
Regarding your business account, please open a personal account then pay yourself a monthly salary from that account.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions as regards my brother's visit visa application. He has been granted. Submitted all University related evidence and his bank statement highlighting the funds he receives from parents and siblings. Another question please. If my outward journey to the UK is through KLM (Amsterdam) and inward back to Nigeria is via Air France (paris). Will I need an airport transit visa or a short stay schengen visa? Its a bit confusing, considering I have to pass through 2 different airports. Anyone with transit visa experience please.thanks

giselle237:
minimum required is airport transit visa for each leg.. however if you have a Schenghen, American, Japanese or Canadian visa you are fine

narpheesarh:

Thank you giselle. So two separate applications? One for the armsterdam and the other for paris. Both can be submitted at Lagos French consulate right?

gerrald02:

Your requests depends on what you want to use the Ecctis statement for which is shown below.

For my purpose I did the visa & nationality service(English proficiency).

Once the documents were uploaded took 2weeks to get mine.

giselle237:

mbanolady:

Thanks for your response, like how many months do I need to pay myself now before applying since am only going because it’s summer time.

narpheesarh:

Oh really..when I compared flights using all these websites like opodo and Expedia, British Airways are so expensive, nothing less than 1 million. Will have a look at their website. Thanks

You're good to fly, so far You're not transiting more than 2 schengen zones.

My experience last December while flying from Heathrow to Mauritius:
I was bound Hthw - Amsterdam - Paris - MUR (kLM/ AirFrance)
On boarding at Heathrow Airport, the staff asked me if I have another passport, I said nope, na so she carry my passport komot enter inside room to confirm if I fit fly across, after confirming, na so she come back board me o.. say make I dey enter flight no shaking..
On getting to Amsterdam, layover was 10hrs overnight, and at then, they never display our next boarding gate. Na so guy man sleep for airport.
Fast forward, when my boarding gate later show, e come be say I gats pass immigration to cross over before getting to the gate, na so I reach immigration, then look my passport, tell me say I no fit cross, say I dey enter schengen zone. I explained to the officer, na so em carry my passport enter inside office, call their oga, still come out tell me say e no go work, say make I fly back to UK or make KLM redirect my flight from Amsterdam to MUR, omo I wan mad.
Na so I go KLM counter, go give report give them,
They come redirect my flight. I flew back to UK.
From UK, I fly go France, from France I fly enter Mauritius.

So hence you're not transiting more than 2 schengen zones, you won't pass immigration, you're good to fly.

Ashirioluwa:


He will not be allowed to board here in Nigeria without the transit visa.

More importantly, it is boldly written on France and Germany's websites that Nigerian passport holders need a transit visa to change planes in the Schengen zone unless the passenger has a valid Schengen, USA, Canada, or Japan visa.

A plane ticket is damn expensive right now, so let him try to obtain a transit visa to avoid a touching story at the end of the day.

Chudycharles:

PLEASE I need advice not insult. Thank you in ADVANCE. I've been in the UK with this care visa work for seven months without my sponsor agency giving me work. Now I've been able to get work at a very far place outside London which I go to by entering train 5am while returning by 9 to 10pm. I cannot relocate to the place because I'm currently been accommodated by someone. Going to work is almost costing an arm and leg as I've not been paid till month end. Someone told me to be buying under age ticket rather than normal one. My main question is not the fine as life is risk BUT if caught, CAN IT AFFECT ILR IN 5 YEARS TIME?

Blessedsteph:


I think it’s 6 months account statement that is needed.

Blessedsteph:

Have you done your biometrics? If not, I strongly advise you cancel that application and redo it. I know a few people here that was handed a 10yrs ban because they didn’t declare their previous visa refusal.
I wish you the best

Femaleoutfit:
I never asked him/her not to declare that he has been refused visa before. I was responding to the personal account thing. I have done my biometrics and Yes i got my visa
