Good morning
Thank you everyone for your contribution
God bless you all
I wished I had seen this thread earlier

I called as instructed this morning around 10am and I was told a decision has been made (I guess yesterday night or this morning) and they said I should get a mail very soon or sms from my VAC.

However I still checked the status on the app now and it has not changed. It has not ticked green for transfer from DMC to VAC.

pls can someone enlighten me on this or what to expect next

Can anyone guide me on how to apply for UK visit visa as a small business owner in Nigeria. I need list of document to be submitted. Biko , ejo,

ibukunpops:
I will suggest you also include her own personal bank statement.

Healhtyliving:
I am thinking it is not necessary since she isn't contributing any dime towards the trip. Also, I want to safe us the stress of having to explain deposits into her account.

Hello Guys ..Please I need your help/advice

My sister is inviting me to the uk to visit for a while. She has a house there and a job (she is a doctor). I resigned from my job in February(currently Unemployed) tho I make money from crypto trading, I also do photography. My parents are sponsoring my travel logistics including visa fee while my sister will accomodate and cater for me once i get there. My passport is a virgin passport My parents have been to the uk several times (3 times in the last 10 years). I think thats all the info i have.

Please any advice on how to go about the application especially in terms of employment status and income. thanks

Hello everyone, pls is it ok to purchase to separate one way tickets from different airlines in place of a return ? Can this create any issues at point of entry? Thanks in anticipation

Nchabuomo:


Naah you can get separate tickets from two different airlines or same airline.

delana:

Ok thanks for the response, so no issues at all

Nchabuomo:


Not at all. You will be asked about your return ticket though as it would be evident you flew one way so have it handy to present if asked.

royalmu:
Congrats. Are you going for tourism or family visit?

Tmeegal:


That’s great news ...still waiting for mine

Nchabuomo:


Personally I prefer direct flights as I don't really like flying, lol, so the shorter the flight time the better.

If you are using BA it might be cheaper for you to fly out from Abuja.

But in the end look at your budget and see what works also consider layover time if you pick a connecting flight. Your COVID-19 test should be valid for the last leg of your flight.

babz170:
good evening guys I track my application on the TLS application and it says passport ready for collection do I still need to wait for thier mail or sms?

royalmu:
TLS should send you passport collection mail in no distant time. You can also visit their office after some days if you don't receive the passport collection mail from them.

iyatrustee:
Personally, it makes no sense for someone earning 91k to propose to spend 850k on vacation and tourism. That constitutes almost 11times your disposable income.

Your budget is unrealistic.

royalmu:
You didn't consider the yearly income. The ECO didn't complain about the budget for the trip, that means the ECO was cool with the budget. The ECO only complained about the numerous credits from different sources made into the account statement that was provided.
