Please some guidance is needed . A friend wants to apply for a visitor visa to the UK for herself and her 2children who are both under 10years. What will she need as per documentation. Will the children apply separately from the mum. It is a visit and there are no plans to Japa. Her husband might not be travelling but will give consent

PLEASE ANY NEED RENEWING MY DRIVERS LICENCE BEFORE MOVING TO THE UK?

HAVING IT WITH ME OVER THERE WHAT'S THE USE. IS IT RECOGNIZED AS A PROOF OF MY DRIVING SKILL OR I MUST STILL PASS THROUGH UK DRIVING SCHOOL?

A Friend wants to apply to UK for visit for 7 days and here is his profile and he is sef employed with a balance of $6,500 in dorm account and 2m as an available balance

Earns 15m annually which is 1.250m monthly but spends 150k monthly as maintenance leaving him with a balance of 1.1m monthly(584.659GBP)

He plans on staying at hotel for 7 days which is 460GBP, flight through Egyptair which costs 720GBP making a total of 1,180GBP excluding food and activities.

1. He is planning on spending 3m(1,594.52 GBP) but I have read on this page about disposable income which is not advisable to spend over 2.5x of monthly income, In his case, Can he spend up to 2.8x - 3x of his monthly income? Yes, that can work

2. If i acted as a co-sponsor for him saying, I would be responsible for his hotel accommodation, will that be a red flag? Big Red Flag

he has travel history within the last 5 years to Dubai 2x, South Africa, Ghana and Lebanon. They don't reckon with these Countries really. But he should still state his travel history for the records.

what are his chances? He can try. Self employed applicants are under more scrutiny so he should ensure he fills the form carefully. No lies, no "account padding".

Kindly Advice

Hello everyone, can i use money in a savings app (optimus) as proof of fund for a visit visa? or should i just transfer the money to my regular bank account and explain the transfer in my cover letter?

Good afternoon everyone,

My sister who is a student in Nigeria wants to go visit my sister who is working in the uk. Basically, my sister is standing as her sponsor. Does my sister(the student) need to show POF as well given that it’s a sponsored trip??

tinutunde:
Thanks to everyone for the guidelines,I followed through with your recommendations and I just got a positive feedback about my mum’s visit visa.

Ashirioluwa:


You can, there’s nothing wrong In trying. You will need to cancel the application first, then request for a refund.

Hi AlphaLady,

Your question is not a complicated one. Your Sister (UK) will surely need to provide anything that will indicate she's taking responsibility of your sister (Nigeria). In such case, POF will be needed, her employment letter to verify her source of funds and other the Nigerian Sister must also show ties with Naija (Something to show she will be coming back after her visit).

Thank you for your response. I’m aware of those. My question is my sister in Nigeria ( the student) does she need to show POF given she is a student with no money to her name.

If she does need POF, how much would be sufficient and can we just put the lump sum in her account without it being a red flag??

Good Afternoon,

I am trying to make an application for my mother to come and visit me in Birmingham Uk.She is a level 16 officer working with lagos state government for over 25 years.She is been paid 280,000N and she has a second job with an online store where she responds to orders and she is been payed 100,000N monthly she has a closing balance of about 2,290,000.She has been to Egypt and has a Canada/American denial.

I just finshed my university and recently had my brp changed in January to skull worker Visa and I recently got a job with the Uk civil service in the department for transport.Prior to that I worked in my Uni and started doing support work in September.I have about 2500 pounds in savings.

Please I need detailed help on how to put an application for my mum she wants to come visiting in March for graduation I have gotten a letter for her as well if not she doesnt mind visiting during the Easter Holiday.

Thank you

Cashmadam:


with 2,500 Pounds, you should not act as a sponsor. However, your Mum's salary is also low.

Do you have another sibling in the UK who can sponsor your Mum?

Unless your Mum has a lot of money saved somewhere over a long period of time..

You didn't indicate if she has any savings..

ifyobidiaso:


She has about 5 million savings in another account and this is over years

Cashmadam:


She's a student and not expected to have a lot of money. She should rely on her sponsor.

AlphaLady:
So give or take how much do you think would be enough for her to have please?

Handsome1:
Please Kindly help with some valuable advice and insights.I would want to travel to the UK using the study route but I don't know which part in the uk would be cheap for me and I would be able to get jpbs i would be grateful if anyone who has successfully relocated to the UK using a Master's degree program could share their knowledge and experiences.Also I want to know the most reliable way to travel to the uk. I want to understand the costs involved, What is the typical range of costs associated with tuition, living expenses, and the visa application process?
Additionally, please let me know if there are any other crucial aspects I should be aware of that could help me
