Maybe try Sending someone to pickup with authorization letter, copy of data page, collection slip.


JohnnyWalker16:
Good day house. I made application on the 6th of June for visa renewal and was notified for pickup on the 5th of July however I am unable to pickup my passport due to personal and logistics reason until the 29th of July.

I have been sent a reminder that it has exceeded 2 weeks with the possibility of having my passport sent back to the embassy from Tls ikeja.

Is there a way I can contact them as I see I cannot reply to the mail they sent

Madam don’t stress yourself. You are going to visit your husband in UK so you don’t need all that. My sister entered UK recently with just £200. Tell them you are going in to visit your husband in case they ask any question.

But if you have cash here in Nigeria that you are planning to travel with to UK then you can think of PTA because you will get official rate compared to the black market rate.

Read her post. Its a visit and not to stay. Sure she will have book a return ticket.

With due respect to you, I was not responding to her post, but yours and requirements to process a PTA.

You may wish to educate me pls, is there anywhere the UK home office states if you are going for a visit to the UK and its borders, that you must book a return ticket?
Whatever reason and wherever you are headed to, if you want to process the PTA in Nigeria, you need a valid return ticket.(even persons with study visa who could stay for a longer period needed a return ticket to process, so i don't get what you on about visit or stay). And I suppose even if you had a visa that permits you to stay, if you needed a PTA for your trip, you needed to provide your financial institution with a valid return ticket....

Thanks

Yup. you can be denied entry as a visitor with one way ticket
yes because you show potentials of one who wants to abscond.
Do you not watch border force? this happens very frequently
Pls @helen dnt try and book one way ticket if going on a visit visa. .. if your tickets are checked by immigration, you will have a lot of explanation to do with risks of entry denial or doubts of genuineness. Next thing you are on a flight back.

I will even consider her to be lucky if she’s lifted from 9ja here because the airlines too her obliged to not allow you board their flight with one-way ticket with a visitor’s visa.

It's risky to buy one way ticket on a vist visa. My last trip to the UK, the border officer asked for my return ticket. She took her time to check it thoroughly and noted that the information on the ticket was the same with what I told her verbally when she asked me questions.

Imagine if I bought one way ticket for whatever reason...

NO it isn't must. It is at the discretion of the border officer to ask for proof of whatever and in-line with the UK home office policy and that 6 out of 10 visitors get asked that don't mean it is a must thing to travel with.

However, to process a [b]PTA in Nigeria it is a must perquisite.
[b][/b] at least as of the time of this post.

Though I should state here, the onus is on the visitor to show that he/she would leave the UK and her borders, at most within 180days on a visiting visa, i.e with/out a valid return ticket just as was demonstrated in the visa application process.

You are right. If you want to purchase tickets via wakanow and the rest and you book one way from Nigeria- they’ll call you and ask you if there’s a particular reason you are booking/buying a 1 way ticket.
If you say oh I am on a student visa or work visa then they will go ahead- they will always ask.
I have heard of airlines not boarding visit visa people with 1 way tickets from Asian colleagues. bangladeshi, Pakistanis etc

I don't get you all, what is eff about it, if the post intended to visit China after her visit to the husband from the UK and has ticket to further the trip, would that cause her a denial at the UK entry? No it may not, because she would have demonstrated her ability to leave the UK after her visit, but if she showed such itinerary to a bank she would not be given PTA as there is no evidence of a return back to Nigeria.

Make points you are about Asian, and other continent.
With/out a return ticket as a visitor you can successfully be admitted into the UK as well as be denied an entry. But without a return ticket you can process a PTA.
Don't be so shallow when making points.

This fellow is even more shallow.
Even making it worse by trying to change scenario that the lady has a ticket to China now. Why change the discourse of the misnomer you were actually spewing in the 1st place?
Of course that is allowed. it shows she has plans to leave and that is all the rest of the house was trying to say.
I wont even waste more time replying to such a person before he drags me down to his level. I refuse to roll in the mud.

"Suddenly "of course that is allowed" as if have a ticket to further a trip from the UK is a return back to place of departure, yet you don't see your shallowness?

If I changed my grounds point to me...

I repeat, With or without a return ticket you can enter the UK for visiting.....whatever evidence you come with at the border is on the visitor.

BUT to secure a PTA you must have one that indicates return to Nigeria...
Hate that or love it, it is the fact....

If you need a PTA, follow instructions as on form A website and visit your bank to get one
During your departure, arrival and exist from the UK, have with you evidence you deem important for successful admissions into and exist from the UK.

Enjoy your trip...don't mind that garbage in-garbage out fellow..
