Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by mcmc: 10:02am On Feb 22, 2023 |
Hey everyone, My family are visiting me in the UK within the next couple of months. They have gotten their UK visitor visa, and also a Schengen transit visa (2 entries) from the French Embassy to be able to get cheaper tickets (direct flights are ridiculously expensive). The problem is the Air France flights for the dates they want to travel are now quite expensive (still cheaper than direct), but there are KLM flights which are considerably cheaper however this would mean they will have to stop over in the Netherlands instead of France. I know with a normal Schengen visa (short stay or long stay) you are required to first visit the country that issued the Schengen visa; is that the same for transit visas? As they are only in transit does it matter what Schengen country they travel through? Thank you! |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by giselle237: 10:28am On Feb 22, 2023 |
mcmc:i think the rule is to have the visa to be allowed in the Schenghen area or valid American, Japanese, Canadaian visas.. can’t remember them mentioning on their site that it must be valid for the country u applied for or must be used for the country |

Having millions in your account is not what the ECO wants to see. How does ur disposable income of 186k now yield 13 million naira as well as prove essentially to the ECO the origin of these funds and how they are truly yours? So is it that you earn a salary working for someone and then also have a business .. so 2 jobs? How did you acquire the properties you got? How dis you get the 13 million?There must be paper trail with this your situation except you have competent travel history-US, Schenghen, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and likes.. that’s the only thing that can come to my mind. Otherwise things are not plainly adding up as you also mention your salary stopped coming in from September 2022. You also mention Canada in the grand scheme, do you have the Canadian entry visa on your passport ? If yes it helps ur case. If it just admission you have and the above story, I believe you should abort this mission or resume school in Canada and try it out. That’s better If I have misunderstood any part of your circumstances pls restate it for me. Thank you hotboss: |

giselle237: Thanks - wish there was a way to confirm. I don't want them to have any issues departing Lagos, or be refused transit in the Netherlands. |

Do not exceed your allowable stay in the uk as a visitor which is 6 months. However you can change your visa when you get a sponsor. To apply from within the uk is usually about 8 weeks. Also no employer will allow you start working if this is not sorted out. so apply early. Good luck QUEENBIZ: |

Does the transit visa specify that it is a "France Airport transit visa" or a schengen transit visa? As AF/KLM are sister airlines of a sort, I don't think this will pose a problem for them. But feel free to call the airlines for confirmation - some agents might not be able to help so insist on speaking with a supervisor or someone with adequate knowledge. Best of luck! mcmc: |

mcmc: I believe you can fly KLM with the transit visa issued by France embassy. The Netherlands Embassy in Nigeria does not issue transit visas. https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/visa-the-netherlands/airport-transit-visa/apply-nigeria You can contact KLM for more information concerning this.

hotboss: The Canadian visa on your passport although a great thing is also going to raise some questions. Student has valid visa but due to some circumstances had to temporarily suspend studies and return home. At home now he has decided to defer his admission to another year. Now he is deciding to go to UK for a business conference for 4 days. Please how does this business conference help you and why now? Someone some time ago mentioned crypto as the source of her husband’s funds. I dnt know if they actually mentioned this to the visa officer. Also ur disposable income is too low to supprt this application so its best to be able to figure out if this business conference is worth it and how to present your building materials and crypto story to them because you can not afford this trip presenting a disposable income of 186k as the source of your funds. 2 Likes |

beautyuche: Are you certain of this your "however "? It is clear on gov.uk that you Cannot change some visas to another visa category. The best and even the worst immigration solicitors would advise you use monies you'd had use to pay them and buy a return ticket home and do the needful. If you have a sponsor what is difficult in returning home and complete a very easy process with no stress, rather than trying to force or bend things that may not be bendable..... 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by djbaju(m): 9:24am On Feb 23, 2023 |
You will need to confirm with your branch bank, maybe talk to someone, normally banks send names of those that applied and have been approved to CBN for disbursement, but if you meet someone in your bank, the person can watch for you and let you know when your name is approved or listed to get disbursed to, I mean the exact date you will need to come pick up the funds. quote author=Malevonent post=121152004] OK, finally went with access bank, adb supervisor initially marked it for rejection as i didnt upload my intl passport, i hv now uploaded same,, and its been approved-. you know the next step after this?[/quote] 1 Like |
