Thank you for your quick response. should i wait for the expiry of the visa since passport has expired or should i re-apply now.
thank you


You don't need to wait until your current visa expires before you apply for a new one, but the earliest you can apply is 3 months before your intended date of travel.

If it is within your means and you know you will visit the UK frequently, you can choose to apply for a long-term Standard Visitor visa for 2, 5, or 10 years.

Thank you so much sir. I have tried without success to get the figures to zero. Not sure why this isn’t going through.

l also have questions about Evidence of relationship with my sister. What can I use for this please.




You can't enter zero. You will still need to enter the total cost of the vacation, even if someone will be paying for the vacation.
 
 
Note it in your application and cover letter that someone is paying for your vacation.

For the part that requires how much you will be contributing towards the trip, you can put 0.00.

You should include your bank statement regardless of being fully sponsored. Your sponsor should provide all relevant documentation. Also on your end, ensure your account doesn’t have any discrepancies. As for how much you spend monthly, check your account monthly and see how much you spend. As a student, I don’t think you should spend more than 40k per month.

Lastly, you should attach proof you’re still studying and also a letter of permission from your school for you to travel.

You can't enter zero. You will still need to enter the total cost of the vacation, even if someone else is paying for the vacation.

If you can’t enter zero, use the total cost of trip even if the sponsor is paying.

As for evidence, you can include photos you both have taken together, as well as your birth certificates to show you’re both from same parents.

30k monthly (end date is May 2023), uncle

Well since you have a very buoyant sponsor, then you need not worry about how much you earn. Still attach your bank statement, but make sure there are no discrepancies in your account. Also, your sponsor should write a letter of sponsorship to you which you would attach to your application. Lastly, show proof of relationship with sponsor.

Goodluck

Thank you Bro.
God bless for the detailed comments.

You know how all this mothers are? Do you have money in your account? she said no. Who knew she even had savings reach 3m in the first place. 😂

My brother also didn’t tell me or even seek advice before he applied. How long is she stating they out 4 months 😂😂😂.
That’s how the went to put 550k as income without any prooof. Business no proof.

I am the one doing this new application and so will take all these you have said into account.
I reduced amount she’s contributing to 200k but with what you said I will just take it out entirely and put the major focus on the sponsor since has good documents to back up.

currently work with Ministry of humanitarian affairs thru N-SIP (and I receive minimum wage pay). My Mama (Civil servnt) and uncle (self-employed / business owner) also want to apply for the UK standard visitor visa too.
Mrmoney90:


Yes of course, the uncle can.

First of all, how do you earn (what you do for a living) before you can be advised accordingly.

There’s a lot of complications in your application.

1. how much do you earn monthly from your business? before we will multiply it by 12 to get your annual income?

2. Eco mention you said you have another annual income of 250k? What is the source of this income and do you submit documents to prove it?

3. Eco said you have a savings of 2,350 pounds? Where this savings came from?

4. Between 01/06/2022 to 04/01/2023 how do you Accumulated total 5,099,792 nearly your declared annual income in 7 month?

5. How much do you declared as your monthly expenses?

6. Do you separate your business account from your savings account?

I earn 500,000 monthly , I pay myself 500,000 naira from my business Acc to savings account
Yes I have another income of 250k that’s 2bedroom bungalow in ogun state I receive the rent yearly in my savings Acc
I have 6,500 pounds in my savings not 2350 pounds
Between 01/06/2022 and 04/01/2023 I accumulated such total cause on my birthday 31st of august I received a cash gift of 520,000 and on the 12th of October I borrowed the sum of 700,000 from my saving to my business account for business purposes which I refunded on the 5th of December and on the 28 of November I receive a cash gift of 30k from a friend.
My monthly expenses is 100,000 naira
Yes my business Acc is different from my savings account I run a business Acc with gtb and savings with keystone bank
@gentle soul what do you advise I do cause am confused and in my application I never said I was using 100,000 naira for my trip I said 2350 the 100,000 is my monthly cost of living I think there is a misconception

It doesn't affect anything.

But try and get your NIN. You can't renew your passport without having a NIN, and you can't register a business with CAC.
As a Nigerian, you should find time to get yours. The newly issued passport carries the NIN.

Ensure the information on the NIN tallies with your passport if you wish to do so. Also, ensure the NIN is activated.

Hello house please I need your help 🙏🙏🙏 I applied for uk tourist visa with my daughter and I gave them ever, and on the 19th of January I got a refusal letter stating something different from what I filled on my application form , I stated I was spending 2350 for myself and 1500 for my daughter cause her dad is also sponsoring her for the trip only for them to state I said I was going to spend 100,000 naira for my trip , i run my own business and I stated how money entered my account but they missed it all up have gone through my application I didn’t make any mistakes and they told my daughter they are refusing her cause they are refusing me . What should I do I am attaching the refusal letter and my savings is different from what they wrote I am confused 🫤

You can reapply and address the concern of the ECO on your cover letter if you believe your SOA is clean and won't raise the concern of the ECO.
Ensure the cover letter is clear and concise.

Your chances of getting approval are very slim with your virgin passport. But if you want to try your luck, you can.
It would be best if you had a solid reason why your aunt wants to sponsor your trip at this time. Sufficient proof to show you have a happy life in Nigeria.

She is very convinced that they will give me the visa because she work for the government there. And I hope I can get lucky.
I have a happy life in Nigeria, it shouldn't be a problem.
But please what are the documents that I need when applying?
I planned to apply in March.

Use the search bar on nairaland and type "List of documents for UK Visa."

I believe that will be much helpful to get unlimited ideas of documents to boost your application.

It’s not necessary though. If it was that you had something that would desperately need your attention and presence in Zanzibar, that could’ve been fantastic. Maybe something like a business trip or work related. Could’ve be fantastic. Regardless, you can still declare it anyways.
