Good morning people, I will like to know my chances of being issued a visiting visa to the UK. I earn a monthly income of#150,000, Paid #37,000 monthly to service a loan from my employer, earn other incomes aside monthly Salary three times in a year as stated below; A. Housing allowance upfront - #357,000 January B. Profit sharing bonus - Over #200,000 April C. Education allowance - #262,000 August D. 13th month Salary - #42,750 December I am married with two kids, I will be traveling alone for 7 days with an invitation from a family friend, my 6 months statement balance of #723,000 Issue here is what I will quote as monthly income, amount planned for trip and if I will spread other income to arrive at monthly income or state categorically that my salary include some em bloc payments at intervals in the year. Also does submission in Ikeja VAF has advantage over V/Island? Reason for my question is the varied visa fee for the two locations Your prompt answer will be appreciated. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ifyalways(f): 3:41am On Apr 26, 2016 |
franktalk007:Your letter of introduction from employer should state not just your salary but also all the other added bonus and if all is being paid into same account ie your salary account, then your case is pretty much straight forward. As a married man traveling alone, you should take great note with filling: how much you spend monthly on living expenses and how much you give to your dependants monthly as the sum of those two deducted from your monthly income is your " disposable income" VI cases are treated at Sheffield UK while ikeja cases are treated at Abuja. 2 Likes |

FrontPageLawyer: If u earn 100K as ur monthly income, that means you have saved 20 months of ur salary without spending a dime or Does other funds also goes into the Salary account? If Yes, You must explain the source of extra funds entering you salary account with paper documents. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by askari01: 6:03am On Apr 26, 2016 |
castiello: You didn't mention your company's TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE. A company that's capable to pay you 500K monthly, You know how much you'd be paying as TAX. |

Hello all, I will be travelling to the Uk very soon and applied for visa last week but need get some things clear. I have already applied and scheduled an appointment for next week but after going thru this forum i realized i goofed by paying a huge deposit into my acct last week. The deposit is actually from a contribution i am making with my colleagues at work and it was my turn to collect last week so i got the money in cash then deposited it into my savings acct before moving it to my current account last week. My monthly contribution appears in my account statement as it is a regular monthly payment that goes out of the account as soon as my salary is paid. I have already fixed the money in time deposit leaving about 200,000 naira in the current account. My questions: -Can this affect my chance of being issued visa -Is it possible to cancel the appointment and re-apply maybe later so it won't look like i decided to inflate my account because of the visa. You advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 12:25pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
franktalk007: Firstly, i dont think there is any preference with VI or Ikeja or ABuja.... Because My first Visa i got it from Lagos and the others which i was involved with was approved in Lagos.. so please ignore that , all your documents are been sent to the same location. I think your visa is straight forward but you will need to submit the right documents.. The other incomes you earn is it from the same employer? if so then u dont need to say too much in your employer letter.... but in the additional information BOX you need to explain all this clearly. Make sure you show ties your family is a tie which is good ... so in the additional box ; also explain about your wife and kids , let them know your family is here and nothing can hold you back in UK... regardless of the amount of days you are traveling they issue 6 months even if you are staying 7 days and from my experience , knowledge UK proof of supporting funds goes this way!!!! Applicants show that they have approximately £800 per month for the first two months to cover initial costs. (important) If you are employed which you are, you will need the following: o Letter confirming your employment This letter needs to be on a company letterhead Needs to be dated Needs to state all contact details of your employer Needs to state your starting date of employment Needs to confirm that permission for leave has been granted o Confirming travel dates o Payslips (ideally last 3 but 1 is sufficient) With this in mind your visa will be granted..... |

justwise: sorry for the late response these are the breakdown flight 539 pounds accommodation 144 pounds food and transport 400 pounds total 1,083 pounds = 313,936 naira... please kindly advice |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 12:39pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
mike234: Appointment is the easiest to cancel.... Well to be honest that lump sum deposit is a big FLAG!!!! except you have a big way to explain... or maybe in the history of your account you have had a large lump sum deposited often.. As for me... I will advice to cancel the appointment and prepare properly. But some people might say otherwise but this people reason directly they dont think otherwise so immediately they will think it is because of your traveling you deposit that. If you intend to go ahead with the application, then you will need a lawyer... to come up with something showing you and your friend are into such business that is as much as i can say.... Hopefully the lawyer will understand what i just stated. Stay blessed and Good luck |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 12:46pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
friendly101: Just to add to what @justwise have adviced you ... Proof of supporting funds Applicants show that they have approximately £800 per month for the first two months to cover initial costs. (https://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/) I recommends 250 000 naira per applicant, the more money the better. 3 month original bank statements printed at your local bank Sponsorship forms (if the money has been transferred within the last 3 months) o Letter of sponsorship Confirming why the money has been given- eg. Gift o Sponsors 3 month bank statements Confirming the sponsors ability to sponsor you o Copy of the sponsors ID or passport Additional supporting funds (optional) o Car registration papers and/or car evaluation o Confirmation of property ownership – including rates bill o Investments and/or savings About Flight Provisional or paid flight booking Confirming expected departure date Provision flights are free flight bookings only valid for 24 hours Accomodation Arrangement is to be made ... Good luck !!! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by friendly101: 1:01pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
tunderule2016: thanks tunde this is really helpful ...... so how much would u suggest I have in my account ? cos am still getting a letter from my cooperative were I work, ARM savings and my Pension certificate. I am sponsoring my self. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by mike234: 1:29pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
tunderule2016: Thanks Tunde. I really appreciate your comment i think i will cancel the appointment according to your advice. But will i be refunded for the appointment fee or i will have to use it later in future when applying? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 1:33pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
friendly101: You welcome .... it is hard to be specific... cos i have nto really read much of your thread to know how much yous aid you have in account ... but 500k is for maintenance, have you booked accommodation? the 500k does not include accommodation and flight... You can do accommodation @ booking.com or https://www.9flats.com/ Do flight booking ... KLM does pay at office flight payment so you can choose that. Regarding where you work ; If you are employed, you will need the following: o Letter confirming your employment This letter needs to be on a company letterhead Needs to be dated Needs to state all contact details of your employer Needs to state your starting date of employment Needs to confirm that permission for leave has been granted o Confirming travel dates |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 1:39pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
mike234: Bruv there are two options... You can decide not to cancel it .... and go ahead.. but make sure you meet a lawyer that can do Letter of agreement indicating such deposit of funds... You do know there are limit to how much can be said in public forum. You can proceed with the application but you will needed to be guided properly and i will say get that letter . A good lawyer will know what i am talking about. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by friendly101: 2:23pm On Apr 26, 2016 |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by mike234: 2:41pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
tunderule2016: But i have another account with over 4m which i intend to print the statement along with the former (The former is my salary account). How about that? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 2:52pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
friendly101: Well adding your own company will over complicate things... only add your company if you are paying yourself salary but if you are not i do not think it is necessary... If you have shares or car registration you can add but it is optional. Make sure you utilize the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION box to explain everything and anything .. from explaining what you intend to go do in uk and your plans ... and here is a strong sentence you can add in any of your writings.. ( Do you have traveling records)? I wish to apply for a short Visit Visa (6 months) to visit the United Kingdom (type purpose here) during my leave period in the month of (December, 2016) which I intend to meet every immigration rule by not over staying and my traveling records speaks for itself. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by friendly101: 2:59pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
thank you so much tunde I will do as you have written............. yea I have travel records but mainly Africa e.g Cairo, south Africa etc |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 3:03pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
mike234: Good you can show that and make sure you explain thing in the additional information box. is your salary paid in specific dates or does it vary with date? if it varies please print out ... and circle all your salary paid section... to make it easier for the ECO and it gives direction that you know what you doing. Give it a shot..... But make sure you get letter of introduction from employer and make sure you draft a personal letter.... it helps a lot. Shares, properties too. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 3:05pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
this will help.. see attachment... friendly101: Great.... play with that... and they will know you have travel records and you never over stayed.... I will see if i have more time when i get home .. i will draft you sample letter that can help which have helped my clients in the past... good luck... with all been set then you can pray ooo
|
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by friendly101: 3:14pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
tunderule2016: thanks boss I will be expecting the sample letter and I have started my fasting and prayer as well..... |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 3:44pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
friendly101: Fasting and prayer helps.. but one has to do there home work too .. so by posting here you are doing your home work... In all labor there is profit, But mere talk leads only to poverty... so you labor will be fruitful.... I will most def try to help you with that.. am hoping i have the time... It just hurt me a lot to see the amount the UK embassy makes out of our Country.... so so sad!!!! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by friendly101: 3:59pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
please how much is the visa fee in naira? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 4:05pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
@tunderule2016 Submission of application at Teleperfomance Ikeja attracts extra N18,000 and applications are treated here in Nigeria and it takes from 5-14 working days for UKBA to reach a decision, while at Teleperformance Victoria Island, you don't have to pay the extra charges aside your visa fee and applications are treated at Sheffield UK. @ifyalways was right. 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 4:07pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
mike234: If the funds are from unverifiable source. Do not submit the account, the outcome won't favour you. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 4:11pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
friendly101: This will depend on your bank.... The settlement visa application that i submitted recently ( Access bank charged the card for 302naira for 1 $) Access bank allows 3000 USD to be spent weekly so it was used but GTB only allows 1000 usd in a month... they will definitely have different exchange rate but i am certain it will not be less than 300$ CBN rate is 198... if not for the bad government... bank is doing their own rate I suppose to the CBN rate. If you have someone abroad that you can use there card it might be cheaper for you.... Call you bank and ask them how much is the rate that you intend to pay for visa and lets hear what they have to say |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 4:23pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
FrontPageLawyer: If you are submitting a settlement visa it is treated in Sheffield regardless of where you submit in nigeria. Every zone have there section.. Every submission from Southern Africa Goes to Pretoria , South Africa; Every western africa goes to Sheffield in UK....American also are directed to Sheffield, Australia and that part of continent are directed to Manila in Philippiness.... so every section have got there Zone.. Nigeria states can not have two zones.... what is the 18 000 naira for ? I Believe you do know that when you check visa processing times.... which you can check below... you can either chose Lagos or abuja, there is nothing like lagos VI or Lagos Ikeja so i will disagree with that except you show me otherwise.. I just got a UK visa for someone last month and it was applied @ VI... I can confirm to you it was issued in ABJ. VISIT visa is issued in Nigeria (Abuja) , Settlement Visa is Processed in (Sheffield , Uk) https://visa-processingtimes.homeoffice.gov.uk/y?previous-answer=lagos-nigeria |
