Ok thank you so much am grateful Is the sponsors account also scrutinized? And will there be need to provide explanation for the inflows. Cos there r so many things to consider 1) opening balance ( Should not b huge) 2) inflows and outflows 3) Closing balance ( Should b signicantly more than the cost of the trip to u) 4) No padding of account ( no huge inflows) My question: Will this same conditions apply to a sponsor who is not traveling with us? crackcrack: |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 1:27pm On Apr 11 |
Nnekkyneks: You are not too many. I also have three children and we've travelled as a family of 5 several times. The issue is the rise in the FX rate - which has made it mandatory for you to have more Naira. In those days, with less than N5M, a family of 5 will travel and have a lot of money left for shopping etc. Now, you need a lot more than that. Your budget is okay. The issue is the savings. If you need to spend N12.4 million on a vacation, you need to have at least N24 - N25M saved. More than that - if possible. So, that is what you should focus on. Alternatively, you can secure your visa alone. Travel and then apply with the children later in the year. With that, the scrutiny on you will be less. 4 of you travelling together will attract a lot of scrutiny. You simply need to ensure your application is water tight. Don't waste money in this economy. 2 Likes |

Nnekkyneks: The sponsor's account is also scrutinized. The sponsor too can "pad" his account so yes, the account is also examined just like the applicant's account. 1 Like |

Nnekkyneks: If you have more money saved somewhere, prove it. Sometimes, I use three accounts to prove my savings. As long as there is no "account padding" and your savings is at par with the the income you claim, you will be fine. If you have N100m saved but your annual salary is N20m, it might be an issue. It depends on how long you have worked etc. Several things come into play. I have worked for over 25 years so if I've saved N4m for 25 years, I can have N100m saved - as long as my annual income is substantial. I hope I'm making sense. You know your personal circumstance - we don't. Present all documents that will help your case. If you can't, relook the whole plan and take a decision on next steps. 2 Likes |

Paying of Skilled Workers Visa and IHS fees from Nigeria Hi guys, I currently need to pay for my skilled workers visa and IHS fees. I plan loading usd on a prepaid dollar card . I'm worried the cards may not work. Question: Has anyone paid their visa fees recently from Nigeria? How did you go about it. What banks card did you use or what prepaid wallet etc. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by roak: 6:41pm On Apr 11 |
How did you pay for this. What Nigerian card did you use? sojimomomo: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 7:02pm On Apr 11 |
roak: Use a Dollar card if you have a domiciliary account. Or ask someone abroad to pay for you and you refund in Naira. |

@cash madam thank you so much for all ur advice it has got me thinking of alternatives. It will b difficult for us to bring in any lump sum without it looking like padding. So I was thinking of including my mutual funds statement, from the app I can generate a letter stating my balance and that the amount can be made available on request and this balance will meet up with the total balance we need to accommodate the required balance. I can send u the letter in ur email if u don't mind( won't like to post that here) pls kindly advise. Thank you crackcrack: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 12:47pm On Apr 12 |
Nnekkyneks: Good afternoon. You are most welcome. The mutual funds statement will work. I've used mine a few times so it is absolutely a good idea. Ensure you print the statement at least 6 months back and write on top "Savings in Mutual Funds". I've also used fixed term deposit and Treasury Bills so if you have any, feel free to include them as well. Your aim is to show that you have more than enough money saved - not necessarily in just your savings account. Good luck! 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 12:52pm On Apr 12 |
solid3: Good afternoon. Let's leave the budget for now. I don't quite understand the percentages you have apportioned to the budget. Furthermore, please note that your company cannot sponsor a vacation - even if you own it 100%. The money you need should be saved in your account, or wife's account or both of your accounts. If you own the company and you have money saved there, you cannot use that money as proof of funds. You are expected to pay yourself a monthly salary and save from that monthly salary towards your trip. I hope I'm not missing anything. Let us know if you need further support. 3 Likes |

Still waiting for your suggestions, pleaseee Honey9: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 1:09pm On Apr 12 |
Honey9: I assume this is not her first visa. Please confirm. If it is not, just use the same/similar documents your used for previous visas she got. About 2K Pounds should work as funds to be spent. I hope this helps. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nnekkyneks: 1:14pm On Apr 12 |
Using company account id not a good idea I applied once for my husband using his company statement, submitted company documents, he was refused on the grounds that we could not proof how the funds in the account was for the trip, it is believed that the funds in company account are for running the business and not for ur family vacation. It was not until I applied using his personal savings or salary account that we got the visa. As Cashmadam has said pls use ur personal account. All the best solid3: |

Visa Alert! Six Months Standard Visa Timeline: Online Application: April 1 Biometrics: April 3 Collection Email: April 9 Received my passport today. The entire process was so quick. It literally took only four working days after biometrics to receive a collection email from TLS. Would have gotten my passport since Tuesday if not for the holidays. Thank you to all who took time to answer my questions, especially Cashmadam, TheGamingorca and giselle237. 4 Likes |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by solid3(m): 4:11pm On Apr 12 |
Cashmadam: Thank you for your response. I my previously approved visa, my company sponsored 80% of my trip, that's why I want to use the same method. I that application I stated my company, a sole proprietorship company, always avail me allowances like travel allowance, housing allowance etc. That's why i calculated the 20% which needs to be in my account and wife's. My wife despite working elsewhere, gets monthly allowance from my company as her contributions to the suscess of the company. Lastly, the company is sponsoring as a form of reward system to boost productivity. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by solid3(m): 4:22pm On Apr 12 |
Nnekkyneks: What if the company pays travel allowance into my personal account? |

Hello everyone. Is the 28day statement of account for health and care visa like the one for visitor visa where you have to explain income and expenses? Would a debit that states refund of loan, raise any eyebrows? |
