hello guys, Please how else can I buy a flight ticket directly online with my naira debit card? Since the herculean restriction on online naira to USD transactions, this has been a problem

Pls can you help with a mail I can ask them this question?
Also, if they say a decision has been made, what does that mean? How many more days would it be before it's returned?

If they say no decision made and I go ahead and tell them to return the passport, how long would it take for me to get it back?

Also, if you don't mind, can you help with a draft of how to write this mail to them with the request.

Thanks

2nd of November. But you can make message them to confirm if a decision has been made on your application and when. It's possible this mail is a generic mail

Naira card I know doesn't allow past $100 payments. or do you use a $$ domiciliary acct?

What airline is it? Do they have a naira account?

It's actually very funny and sad when I see all the documents that people upload and still don't get the visa.

I applied for the first time recently and all the documents I uploaded was less than 10. I think 7 or so and I was granted the visa. My colleague that applied same day as me was refused after almost 36 working days. We reapplied again, this time around priority and with loads of documents to back it up and she was still refused again after 2 days. They apparently used another person's application to judge her own, because most of the paragraphs in the refusal mail wasn't submitted.

To say she is devastated is to put it mildly. Which brings me to my question. What exactly do they look out for in an application?

I keep thinking about my visa, what exactly did I do right??

Use wakanow.com
There is an option to transfer the money to their account and they book the flight for you.

She should ask for a review since they used another application to judge her own

We plan to do that. Almost 200000k gone down the drain.

If a decision has been made, it means you have either been given or denied a visa.


It takes about 15 days for them to withdraw your application.

There is no format to the mail. It's a paid mail, just state your name and reference number (it starts with gwf) and request for the status of your application.

You can also track your application on the website

Omo!

Again, use wakanow, transfer naira to them and they will pay on your behalf.

My partner used them in September when he was leaving for the UK,

Please guys I just submitted my Uk application form yesterday but I have a question, Do I need to fill a separate form for my 4 years old son? we are traveling together. will my appointment for biometrics cover my Son?

plz i need someone to help

Yes. You have to fill a separate application for your son. Also when scheduling your appointment, you may want to use one of the services that enables you and your son get same appointment time so you could submit both applications together.

PLZ @sholsy so i have to pay different visa fees (Priority) for him and Biometric Fees?

Yes. Same fees you paid including priority. Hopefully, you are able to get same appointment date and time so you'd be able to submit your applications together. He also has to go with you on the scheduled date.

When filling the information below, what do i fill here? he is just 4 years old

Did they tell you if a decision has been made on your application? It took them two months to return a friend's passport. I will advise you to be patient to avoid loss of money. Can the deadline of the other stuff be extended if your explain your situation to them?

Lol , two good months. They’ve always been on time with me and my family’s passport so I’ll take this one exception from them

For your cheap ticket to anywhere in the world you can reach out to us. Our office is at Ikeja

I can help you out sir. Just tell me the travelling date and everything will be done. You can as well come to our office in Ikeja.

Please help me with answers.

I want to apply for the 6 months visa to visit my fiancé. He is a final year undergraduate student so I will only be getting an invitation letter from him and I would be staying at his place. I would be sponsoring myself fully on the trip.
Now my dilemma is this:
- To help me be prudent with spending, part of my savings is removed from source I.e it doesn’t even land in my account at all, just reflected as savings reduction from my payslip. I have over 2 million in this, which is what I plan to use to travel.
- Because I’ve once been robbed and account cleared, I don’t leave Any money in my accounts. Immediately my salary comes in, I send all the expense money I need to send out, move whatever is left to different savings platforms and then I move my weekly expense from there.

What is advisable to present as proof of funds? If I use my statement of account from my 2M savings account, do I still need to add my salary account? How do I prove my disposable income? I would be adding my payslips to show how much I earn, how much is deducted at source and how much is payable into my account. How can I present my story.

@27autumn how much do you earn and what do you do for a living?
Even if u have 2m for the trip, u cnt decalre tht u want to use all ur savings fot a trip, what happens to you when u come back from the trip?
Present two accts to show the source of your funds.
U also should also write in the additional info section of the form this explanation u wrote above .
Add ur payslips it will also certify your earnings.
What other ties do u have to Nigeria including aged parents
Do u have any travel hx?
Where exactly is this 2m? Can u get a letter + loquidate d funds if they are not liquid. Mind u tht u will need a cery comprehensive letter with receipts to show how this money has been accummulated

Lmao two months ó. She was going to church everyday after a while.

Funny enough, they were on time for me and my partner. I don't know why they are delaying my daughter's own

sholsy:
Yes. Same fees you paid including priority. Hopefully, you are able to get same appointment date and time so you'd be able to submit your applications together. He also has to go with you on the scheduled date.

Even if you don't get the same appointment day, you can do walk in any day you like.

You would need to pay for a Flexi appointment to do a walk in any day. That's another cost different from Priority.

My uncle who has British passport wants to invite me to UK to visit him base on his health condition and my work here in Nigeria is a salary work of 46k. And again, the salary account has been receiving money like one million and something but not up to two million. And my uncle said he will send me his British passport for my application
My concern now is, is my salary of 46k and the money that my friend has been sending to my account which is sometimes more than one million and sometimes not up affect my Visa approval?
Pls advise me also on other things to do.
Thank u

I think anyone paying for priority will be able to afford the flexi fees that's less than 50k.

Please who knows any school with a course related to Project Management with an affordable school fees ?

If he is using Air France, he can pay to their account at zenith bank and their dollar rate is low (about 444/$).

u can not get a visa based on what you have stated.
Your friend sending more than 1 million to your acct looks like money lodgement. Who is goin to sponsor the trip? Your uncle is apparently sick so how do you want to convince the ECO that it is your appearance that he needs.. he surely will have a nuclear family. Then salary of 46k … nope chances are slim

bukimireal:
I made a mistake on my cover letter. I didn't address to the ECO and I didn't write it like this

doesnt matter

Won't Air France need a transit visa?
