That's a good one, I m planning to do exactly d same thing, my salary is 155k monthly, I am a lecturer in a government polytechnic. I did my MSC in UK some 5 years ago and I am travelling for a 2 weeks holiday. Hope my salary is sufficient although I will have about 700k in my account before submitting my application.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by sutelk: 11:08am On Mar 01, 2018 |
Hello house, I'm putting things in place to apply for a Tier 2 visa. as part of the English language proficiency requirements, I applied for a statement of comparability and English language assessment from UKNARIC. But there has been too much back and forth with my UKNARIC application. Though I have submitted the extra documents required I need a plan B. The problem is the next available date for IELTS in and around my area is too far (may). My questions are; is there any other English language assessment exam besides IELTS that is accepted by the UK visa authorities? Or is there any legal means of booking for IELTS after bookings for a particular month are closed, even if it costs extra? Thsnks |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 1:50pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
funmido: Yes you can apply using that link |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by sutelk: 2:08pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
justwise:Thanks for your response. I'm in Lagos. The next available date anywhere is 24/03/18 in Abuja. But its academic. I believe I need General for Tier 2 visa. But will the academic be accepted for visa purposes. what are the differences. Thanks |

Good Day Everyone in the house. Please I need an urgent advice. I schooled in the uk for 4 years after which I returned to Nigeria and I have also visited severally on visiting visa. I applied for my most recent visitors visa last year and I included my friends name who are all in london but wrote on the application that I will be staying at an hotel in London which I did . I intend travelling again but the difference is I wont be staying in London as usual but in Liverpool so I will be flying in via Liverpool airport as I will be staying with my boyfrIend for 10 days. We started dating after my application and last travel. Please how do I present this at the poe especially when he was not listed in my previous application as anyone I know in uk and I have never listed Liverpool on my application before? Also on this trip i don't intend going to London is why I will be flying straight to Liverpool. Please I need suggestion on how to explain to themail at poe. |

sola21: Do you have a valid visit visa. If yes, then you have nothing to worry. Just provide the address of your boyfriend on the land card. In case you’re asked what you business in UK? Just be honest and tell them you are visiting your boyfriend in Liverpool who invited you. Have in hand a copy of the invite and his telephone number. Since you’re a frequent traveler to the UK, I don’t envisage any problem at POE. 1 Like |

Good evening everyone. Pls I've been trying to pay for visit visa (standard processing time). I want to apply at the VI centre as it's closest to me, but it's saying I will have to pay an additional 79 USD. Is that the new thing now? Anyone in this same boat? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ugomnaanny: 9:35pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
Good evening, @just wise pls can someone that own a business (enterprise) not (company) , use that to apply for a UK visa |

justwise: Stay on with UKNaric. you can pay for Fast Track service. This is a premium service for individuals or companies who require a Statement of Comparability and/or an English Language Assessment in 24 or 48 hours. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by sola21: 11:51pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
ekpotek: Thank you for your response. Yes I have a valid visa and a travel history of over 13 years to the uk. Thank you very much |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 9:14am On Mar 02, 2018 |
sola21: Then you got nothing to worry about, if asked at POE simply state the city you are visiting and contact person. |

good day everyone ....this should be my first time posting here...although I have been following this page for awhile now....... please I need advice and information/lecture ... I intend relocating to the UK towards pursuing my football career ..I haven't been there before and this will be my first time traveling ...I currently have no one over there and intend staying for years.....but I have a sponsor here in Nigeria who intends catering for my expenses .....I would love to know what type of visa I should apply for and the rest if it?? please anyone with good knowledge about it... |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 11:29am On Mar 02, 2018 |
Dericinh: There is no such visa and it doesn't work that way, if you are a talented footballer a club in the UK will invite you for a trial if successful you will be given a contract, this is only if you have played with national team for sometime. Or you are younger than 15 or so then an academy can take you up for trial. Though be careful because there are more scammers online who will promise you all these but you will never go close to any airport let a lone traveling to any country. |

Hello House, please I'm applying to the UK embassy and I'm not sure under what sub category my purpose of trip falls on. I'm a Lawyer and masters student abroad and I'm writing my thesis this semester. So I've been able to secure a lawfirm in the UK that invited me to come for research in relation to my thesis topic which is in line with the firm's area of practise. My university has also given me a letter to take to the embassy in this regard. I'm not sure which sub category this masters research falls under, I initially felt it was business academic but I'm also not qualified for that category. I'd be very greatful if d immigration experts in the house can give any possible suggestions. Thanks guys |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by realshifu: 7:37am On Mar 03, 2018 |
Msjoy: Good morning. I am not an immigration expert, so the gurus here will still correct me if I am wrong. But I believe the Standard Visitor Visa covers what you are describing. I assume you are currently using the Visa4Uk website, in which case you should switch and start here https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa read the page then click on apply, then click on online application. Start filling the application, you will get to a point where you are to choose a sub visa category, none of which will really fit your purpose, so click on "others", then you will get a box to freely explain the purpose of your visit, which is a few months research at a UK law firm. I hope you will find this helpful. 2 Likes |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 8:18am On Mar 03, 2018 |
Msjoy: Your visa category is the standard visitor visa, since you will not be paid by the law firm. There will ample opportunities in the application form to explain your reasons for seeking entry into the UK. 1 Like |

Hi everyone @justwise @ekpotek @fcisca Pls how recent should the bank statement submitted be? I printed out my bank statement on the 1st of March and submitted my online application on the same day, however, the earliest appointment date for biometrics and submission, I could get was 9th march. Should I print out another bank statement or is an 8 day old one okay? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 6:54pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
MamaGiovanni: No you don't need to, your bank statement is current. |

justwise: @Justwise and @Epotek, Do i need a covering letter stating the cost of flight with the application? Also, how do i quote my monthly income since it has a monthly fixed and variable pay. Your urgent response is highly anticipated as i am applying this week. Thank you. |
