Has Anyone Ever Applied For A U.k Visa For Premiership Games? by lorna2011(m): 11:35pm On Oct 09, 2011 |
I follow wakanow on Facebook and about a week ago , they had this advertisement on a travel package to watch your favorite team play live in u.k. The package includes match ticket + hotel+ flight + ground transportation from hotel to match venue. The package includes no visa, which in reality, wakanow doesn't process (only the British embassy does that) I am interested in the package, but I don't know what my chances are of getting the u.k visa. I intend to stay a maximum of 10 days and probably see a max of 2 premiership matches. The reason I said I don't know what my chances are cos of the following. 1. Presently not employed. In year 2008/2009 , I was an active trader in the Nigerian stock market, but having lost about 80% of my funds, I pulled out the remaining 20%. Also was passively involved in some forex trades but also lost out in that. Practically all the jobs (self -employed) have been tax-free ie stock/forex trading So I have no employment letter, nor tax clearance certificate to provide. 2. I'm not married, so I have no marriage certificate to provide. 3. I can fund my trip though and my bank statement is over a million. I don't need any illegal documents, like fake employment papers, fake marriage certificate etc. I just need honest and truthful responses on what my chances are or any other positive suggestions. Please no one should post any contact details here, any suggestion should be here for all to see, thanks. |

I would advice you not to waste your money as you are most likely to be refused Visas. The ECO will find it difficult to be convinced that you will spend nearly £3000 just to go watch a football match and He would refuse you under balance of probability as usual. If wakanow was organizing this as part of a holiday package with an itenary of a premiership match then I would say you chances of getting a visitors visas will be very high. But as it stands, it seems they expect you to get the visas yourself after which they will help you with the package of watching a premiership game. Really daft move I must say. Best bet go apply for a visiting tourist visas,and lookout for local holiday agents in the UK who can help sortout a premiership match for you but I must warn it wouldn't come cheap! You can also get tickets yourself on the day of match for some games depends on which club and who they are playing on that day. |

Omo_Tier1:Thanks for your response. Actually total fees inclined match tickets , flight tickets, hotel fees and ground transportation is not 3000 pounds but abt 1150 pounds . http://www.icontact-archive.com/Q_NAMWlQt7afY1m2c8xOy6776cVM0Xka?w=2 But I was thinking if I could pay for the package and send the original or photocopies of the match ticket, flight ticket and hotel confirmation as part of my visa application and if refused collect a refund from wakanow. Can u please explain the bolded part? Cos wouldn't applying for a visiting tourist visas still be fruitless? llbhuds:Please learn to use your brain to think. If I was looking for any means to travel, wouldn't I be looking for fake documents, or fake tax clearance to increase my chances? I clearly stated here what my intentions were and specifically stated I needed no dishonest arrangement like fake documents or someone putting up a contact details here claiming he has an imaginary contact in the embassy. |
