Good morning boss, thanks for the input, I attached below a copy of refusal I got from this forum and highlighted the part the ECO refused an application cos the applicant had 1.5M opening balance, while mine was 500k & still got refused, meanwhile I got a 6 months visa June last year with an opening balance of 300k and my cousin got with an opening balance of 500k 6months, 500k again for his 2 yrs renewal last year June, we submitted together, also my expense was similar to this that got refused now, so I believe Uk visitors visa just need some space for now, while I am running my account from now till the next 6 month I should have another 2.1 added to my account, is it advisable I indicate on my form that I have a saving and calculate my opening balance, convert to pound and fill in my form? I don’t know how declaring savings works, or should I just take the money out of the account, but I prefer to leave my funds in this account cos I feel it is safe here. I appreciate your time, and everyone opinion is welcome too. Respect AskGod07:

Goodmorning house, I noticed Ethiopian airline has the cheapest prices on their app but payment through our cards keeps saying error. And secondly is there a way to view the ticket prices in other currencies should one want to ask someone abroad to pay. Thanks in anticipation for your reply |

Good morning. Please I want to apply for a visit visa with my wife and my child. They always pay us upfront in our work of place every beginning of the year. Please when applying I hope the eco wont say it lump sum. There is documents to back it up like a payment advice from our corporation. Please I will need a reply to this. Thank you |

Phakabir06: Good morning. Mention the amount you are paid and when you are paid in the additional information section. If you can, highlight the lump sum you are paid in your statement of account. I hope this helps. 1 Like |

Djbaju sorry I feel your pain, Firstly your SALARY is 5 month credit as ECO stated because you always received your salary on the 1st of the month right? For example if you want to receive June salary it will pay on the first of July ? i.e your December salary would be pay on the first of January right. But you applied for visa in the month of December which you supposed to apply after you receive your December salary on first of January 2023. Assuming now if you want to rebuild your account for next visa from the month of January, let say your January salary would be paid on first of February right? So you will count your 6 month from January till July because your June salary would be pay on the first of July. As per the opening balance ECO using this as an excused to denied people, because there’s no how you won’t have Opening balance before you present 6 month bank statement.The only supporting documents to show prove of Opening balance as a savings in your account is your previous payslips. Please don’t let any money enter your account apart your salary and have a specific monthly expenses to declared. Note: where they asked do you have other income or saving in Visa application?You click savings and input your closing balance. djbaju: 1 Like |

Phakabir06: The lump sum is not a problem, just endeavor to explain it just like you have said on your LOE and reference the attached payslip for the month that shows such a transaction (upfront). I would advise you don't apply immediately and wait a month or two after such a lump deposit just to be extra safe. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by AskGod07: 11:24am On Jan 10, 2023 |
House what someone can use as a supporting documents to demonstrate the source of OPENING BALANCE? I think previous payslips can do that . More advise plssssss because ECO are now using this as an excused to refused many people |

Hello House, I went for renewal of my Nigeria passport December 15th last year at the Nigeria embassy in London and my passport isn't ready.I have tried calling their number but it's not going through.Also tried tracking it on royal mail and it's showing passport not registered. Please I'm really tired of the wait as I need to use it immediately. I'll be grateful if anyone can suggest how to go about it. Thanks while I await responses. |

Phakabir06: It is still regarded as lump sum, but it will be better if you can explain it in your cover or introduction letter, then attach the payment advice from your employer to it. |

I have been following this thread for a while now and just observing, reading people’s experiences so I learn a thing or two before putting my application forward. Thanks to everyone who keeps this thread active and flowing with advice and suggestions I heard the refusal rate for uk visit visa has significantly increased this past month but went ahead nonetheless. And now, after receiving a refusal with the most ridiculous reasons, I can say I’m fully convinced something is wrong with the vetting system. I am also not able to appeal the decision, which is very disappointing. The decision came out in 4 working days post biometrics and this was not a priority or super priority appointment btw. Reason for refusal was tied to 1. Doubt on my employer (which is crazy because I work at a multinational of great repute - they claim my employer couldn’t be found on CAC’s website as a valid company, howww?? I literally use our CAC document to process permits for incoming Expats of various nationalities and with 100% success, I also had all sorts of supporting documentation to prove my employment), 2. Declared funds being 3x my disposable income despite having a solid statement (I had a closing balance of approx 2m and lump sum was clearly explained with bonus memo and payslip) showing flow of funds from my employer, and a strong LOE explaining all these in detail, payslips for 6 months, an introduction letter from my employer as well as a supplementary statement from another account of mine). They also stated a budget of 1.1m is too much for a short stay trip and gives them reason to doubt that I would leave the UK. I used this budget inclusive of flights (in my head) but in hindsight, maybe I should have declared half of that instead especially since I’d be staying with family. All in all, the decision is unfounded. And I’m completely stunned as I also have good travel history within Africa and to two Schengen states and never had an immigration issue or visa denial. The latter part of this upsets me the most because these guys have now spoilt my record undeservedly. If I saw this coming, I would have just applied for a Schengen visa jeje and saved myself this headache, and some money. At this point, and with these flimsy decisions given without due diligence, I am not sure what more one can do to prove their application is genuine. It is well 6 Likes |

99Good: Thank you so much. I eventually got a collection email few days back after visiting TLS again with the instruction letter from UKVI to release my passport. UKVI gave me the most frustrating times of my life in 2022 both financially and emotionally. I lost 2 travel scholarships (Asia and Europe) because of their delay in returning my passport (over 4 months) for nothing. I realised that £55 payment VI is nothing but an offering. If not for the letter I took there physically, I doubt if I will ever get my passport back. |

Hello House, how can one pay for the visa fee during application. Can one use Naira debit cards or ATM cards? |

thelma76: So sorry this happened to you. My observation in recent times - If you've never been to the UK, it is now a capital offence. Which is ridiculous really. Your application appears to be water tight so I really don't know what else you were expected to do. Don't let this bother you. It is well 1 Like |

MadeMan01: I am sure you know the naira master cards card stopped working for international transactions. If you are not aware, It is fine. Now visit a commercial bank close to you to process a dollar card, preferably ask for one through a dorm account, not a prepaid card with limitations for online payments "only" Specifically for visas, you make use of usd cards (Especially for Uk) Regards |

thelma76: Just like the link from @hunee This is not the best time to be declaring family members who are not citizens in the UK. If one doesn't have a strong purpose for traveling, it is best to sit it out at this time. |
