Use the COS details to apply. If eligible for health and care visa tick that when filling the form, this would haf the visa cost

Thank you

I'm sorry to say this but the whole paragraph makes no sense. It is not cohesive and even a secondary school student would write better. Some of these agents are traps. I would advise you take over the application yourself and write something sensible. Please see example below that I composed for a colleague. In addition to that, please include a strong cover letter.

"I am a digital marketing practitioner who has worked across several multinational and pan African organizations. I recently transitioned from XX Bank Plc to YY Bank as I was poached for my excellence in digital transformation at XX. I also have freelance clients who I help manage their digital brand presence and therefore get paid for this as well.

The purpose of my trip is simply to join friends on a cruise from the UK. This is my second cruise with this group of friends as last year we went on a middle eastern cruise from the UAE to other countries.

I am fully vaccinated, and my cruise has already been fully paid for. My flight and hotel have also been booked but will be paid for once the visa is granted. I have no intentions to stay in the UK and have every intention to return to Nigeria to continue my work at YY Bank.

I earn a good living and will be able to sustain myself during this short trip and won’t need to rely on public funds.

My individual budget for the holiday
Flight - £1,000 Food- £300 Transport- £225
Entertainment/Shopping- £1000 Total Spend-
£2,517 (N2,528,150)"

Good evening, please an agent is helping with my mom’s visa application. Is the reason stated here enough. Looks mediocre to me. She’s retired. Any advice please?

On what? Read through the thread; that's why it's here. Read and ask specific questions.

chummygirl:
Can somebody please answer me.

chummygirl:
Hi all,
Pls I need information. I am currently in Canada studying. Entered canada September 2023. I have a part time job also. I want to visit my cousin in the UK during the summer holiday for one week. Pls what documents should I submit. Thanx

Your Canada visa, account statement to show you have the funds to cover your fees.
Your house rent receipts e.t.c

Understand that you just need a verifiable/official document to back your claim.

If you are in Canada as a student, you have to school your school fee receipts, documents that show after your intended purpose of visit you will be returning back to Canada.

If your Cousin is in the UK legally you have to show his document as well employment/school ID e.t.c

If you will be staying at the place of your cousin attach proof like his rent receipt. Invitation letter. Pictures if you have one together.

Oyesquare10:
She can use her ties with a church or mosque, is her husband still alive? Does she have any animals? Any association she belongs to? The reasons stated here are very generic. More importantly, I think she might as well add a letter to the application.

thank you. Recipient and address please .

Good day, please I will like to make an inquiry. Our first and last UK visit visa 6 months was in 2018 December and we used it once, and we haven’t traveled to any other country since then. Though we have travel history prior to that to the US and the UAE. Same period we visited the UK we also visited France. Now I want us to go for a 2 years Visit Visa , do we qualify, seeing that we haven’t traveled in about 5 years. Thank you.

Thanx. I appreciate

PLS WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST WAY TO SEND MONEY TO THE UK FROM NIGERIA.

URGENT PLEASE
Hello everyone. Please, my wife and I just relocated to the UK under the skilled visa. Though, I am the dependent here but I already got a job too. Right now, we are yet to secure our accommodation but we are seriously working on this. The issue is that we still have our kids with the grandparents back in Nigeria and we hope to have our kids join us soon. We have paid all the visa fees, and we are looking forward to booking their biometrics. However, we are contemplating that both grandparents retired (grandpa doesn't like travelling, he has only gone out for pilgrimage) or only grandma, who has more travel history ( she has been to Uk once, Qatar once, SA and UAE twice) accompany these kids to the UK by applying for visitor visa for them. What are the chances that both granparents will be given visa or grandma alone? Also, do we need to book the kids biometrics with the grannies for higher chance or we need to book their biometrics separately? Then what are the other things to consider so to have a successful visa for them? Will be counting on the wealth of experience here. Thank you and God bless!!

Good day guys, this is what I got this from UKVI today:

"We are unable to resolve your application within these customer service targets, due to operational restrictions. Please be assured that we will continue to progress your application to enable a decision to be made as soon as possible"

Has anyone experienced this before? And what does this operational restrictions portrays?

Hi, I got this msg from UKVI today, biometric was done jan 19th.
Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 120 working days.

Please do i need to have return ticket to enter the UK on a visitor's visa?
The airline is BA.
Will i be denied entry if i dont have a return ticket?
If it is compulsory, can i make a ticket reservation instead of a purchase?

Please for a university resuming september, if the person applies early, what is the earliest month the person will be allowed to leave the country

They'll not let you leave Nigeria if you do not have a return ticket

what is your reason for buying one way ticket if you have a visitor visa? I wouldn’t try this if I were you

I came to the UK as a skilled worker (Care). If I decide to go back to school, will I have to switch to a student visa?

[quote author=Opeyemi007 post=128076412]They'll not let you leave Nigeria if you do not have a return ticket.

Ok. Thank you.

I was asked at the port of entry if I had a return ticket, I answered "Yes", she said "show me" and I brought it out and handed it over to her.

Then imagine if I didn't have a return ticket with me, what might have happened?

What are the questions you were asked at the point of entry on visiting sir.. Let us learn

They'll only ask you the basic stuff unless you give a wrong vibe/not answering confidently. Why are you here? Where are you staying? What will you be doing? When will you be returning? Just the norms

Good morning guys.

Please I want to apply for a visit visa. I have a balance of 3m naira currently in my account which I have tried to build for 6 months. I am in paid employment as well. I have a cousin who is a sponsor and has spent about 18months in the UK working as a nurse. He is stating in the application that he is taking care of my accommodation and flight tickets and I will be doing my shopping with my funds. Do you guys have any advise for me. Do you think this will fly?

I applied for a tourist short stay visa to the Netherlands.
I'd already booked my flight to and fro, attached my company documents, my medical license, employment letter, proof of fund, medical insurance, hotel bookings and purpose of visit. Yet i was denied visa.
Please what do i do next.

My flight was booked via Royal air maroc. Someone suggested i get a morrocan transit visa but i don't understand how that can help me. Please kindly advise me.

I think proving your relationship and familial ties to your cousin would be the hardest part. You'd have a lot more work to do proving family ties to cousins compared to mum/dad or brother/sister. Having 3m naira in your account already qualifies you financially and having a job means you equally have financial ties. If you really want to take the cousin as a sponsor route, then you'd have to provide strong evidence that links both of you together - pictures, chats/conversation trail that show how frequent you stay in touch, documents that show you are related (paternal or maternal), cover letters from both of you explaining your ties and maybe letters from common relatives with their IDs to consolidate your claim/proof of ties. I am no expert at this, so this is just an off-the-top-of-my-head suggestion. Let's hear what others have to say.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate your comment

Good evening guys please I need your help .
Sometime last year I applied for a visiting visa for my junior brother to come celebrate my graduation with me in the Uk which was later prosponed . Unfortunately his visa application was refused base on the following

[b]REASONS FOR REFUSAL NRA v 1.0
You have applied for a visa to visit the UK.
In deciding whether you meet the requirements of Appendix V: of the Immigration Rules for visitors (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-v-visitor- rules), I have considered:
• your application and any additional relevant information you have provided with it
• your immigration history
The decision
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraph(s) V4.2 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for Visitors because:
• You state that you are visiting the UK for 9 days to attend your brothers’ graduation ceremony.
• You state your UK sponsor will contribute an additional £3,000.00 towards the cost of your trip to the UK. I note the in to your
and to or not you I must be of your own as
in your and
• You state that you are self-employed with a yearly income of
NGN). You state you intend to spend £208.77 (200,000.00 NGN) during your visit to the UK. I am not satisfied you would be willing to spend such a disproportionate amount of your annual income on such a short visit to the UK. This damages the credibility of your application. I am not satisfied your intentions to enter the UK are genuine.
• You also state in your visa application that you have savings of £450.00 (431,080.00 NGN). The information you have provided does not demonstrate the source of these funds and I am not satisfied that they are available to you.[/b]



He reapplied this year and his application has been refused again .
