iwanvisityankee: A six month UK visa is only valid for 180 days from the date of issuance. The visa allows the holder to present himself/herself at any UK border (land, air, rail or sea) point for entry in the UK. Depending on type of entry, you can enter the UK once or multiple times during the 180 days permitted. You do not need to travel immediately if your travel plan changes as long as you used the visa before it expire. Yes you can arrive at the UK border from anywhere in the world to present you visa for entry. However, some airlines may want you to show them a return ticket out of the UK before you board. Note that unlike the USA visa, you are not allowed to stay beyond the expire date on you visa. So the earlier you utilize the visa the better for you. There will be a UKVI stamp on the last page of your passport if the visa is denied. Obviously that stamp means that your application for visa was not approved at this time. |

MaBuk: Present the two bank accounts for the last 6 months and explain in a cover letter that you brought Tbills that matured at the end of the month leading to the lump sum of N700K. You can also include the Tbill certificates as supporting document. There is a section in the form that allows you to declare and explain additional income outside your salary. Use this section to explain your rental business with documentation. |

ekpotek:Thanks bro, you really did justice to my question, I want to also ask if I would be granted entry with onward ticket |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 11:15am On May 23, 2018 |
iwanvisityankee: Sure, I will advised that you book an onward ticket out of the UK, print it, as you may be asked to show it at point of entry/check in. I was leaving the UK back to Switzerland after a week of holiday from Switzerland. The check in officer demanded for my onward ticket from Switzerland to Nigeria which was not with me, despite the presentation of my Swiss institution staff ID. The check-in officer then asked for my onward airline and date of departure from Switzerland and then went to confirm with the airline and printed my ticket out for me. So it safe to have the necessary documents with you just in case they demand for it. 1 Like |

Good morning all, How will i make flight reservation as it will expire in 48hrs if not paid for? Secondly will the embassy accept hotel reservation from booking.com? Please enlighten me on these 2 questions above. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 11:37am On May 23, 2018 |
opomulero: It is optional to make flight reservation for UK visa application. There are many travel agent that can make and print out air ticket reservation for visa purpose at a cheap cost. Yes UKIV accept hotel reservations from booking.com either paid or not. The important thing is that your hotel reservation must remain valid until a decision is made on your application. |

Lordcrixus: I filled my travel history in the form but I was wondering if they would have the information to enable them to confirm that I was in and out within such short period of time each time I went there. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by juleze(f): 12:34pm On May 23, 2018 |
ekpotek: Thanks a lot for your response. I'm glad to know they can access and assess my travel history without my passport details. I guess I can chill and keep my fingers crossed. Going through this thread made me bothered about my chances, though. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 12:39pm On May 23, 2018 |
glam12: 1. General/Standard Visitor class 2. Training (be silenced on your brother graduation) 3. Communication between your company and the training institute, evidence of payment of training fees, evidence of hotel accommodation, evidence that the training is important to your career, evidences why you were chosen to attend, company bank statement, copy of company registration etc. 4. No. You can travel with your maiden name on your passsport. Just include your marriage certificate. Photos of wedding etc. 5. Since you are not sponsoring the trip. The bank statement of N800K is okay. 6. 6 months multiple entry 7. Maintain the previous stance for now. Or if you wish to disclose this information go ahead and enclose his British passport data page. However, answer NO that you are not going to visit him or stay with him (a long lost brother that you have just discovered is very difficult to proof ![]() ![]() Include a cover note to address the previous refusal of 2014. Your husband can also give a covering letter to assure the ECO that you will return back after your training, by including his bank statement as a backup sponsor. 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by DebsMed: 3:11pm On May 23, 2018 |
Dear Justwise, Ekpotek and other gurus in the house kindly advise on this please. My father in-law has been to the UK thrice; 2008; 2010 and 2012. He's a senior citizen/retiree now. He did less than 10 days in his first two visits. His third was after his retirement from service, he spent about three months even though he entered with the intention of doing four weeks. What effect does this have? The major issue now is that while filling his form for renewal we came across a part asking if he received medical care in the UK. Yes, he did, a check up on a suspected diabetic condition, he even has an NHS number to worsen matters. Next is if he paid? No, he didn't. We are told this will affect his application. Hubby's cousin in the UK advises not to state that he received medical care in the UK. Isn't that more trouble? Is there a way we can get to know this bill and pay up or what do we do? Currently, he has valid US and Canada visas (he hasn't been to these places yet) and had wanted to see all three countries this summer (Central London, Manhattan and Downtown Toronto specifically) paying personally for the UK part of the trip (booked an hotel around the Buckingham Palace area for four days already), he has about 3.4m in his account currently with a couple of houses to booth even though his pension money is around a 100k, but he receives rent proceeds that averagely could be put around 280k monthly and monthly allowances from his children (all resident in Nigeria but have visas of the above countries and even children born in them with associating costs duly handled), about 130k at least, etc. Is there any hope of renewing this UK visa? Can he apply for the 5yrs visa or repeat the 2yrs visa, or just start afresh from the 6months visa? Thanks ahead for your contributions. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 3:59pm On May 23, 2018 |
glam12: Visiting a family member in UK is always a tough thing to proof. It become more tough with your previous refusals from A list countries and non disclosures of your brother status in your previous UK application. The question is how do you convince the ECO that you do not have any immigration intent? Apart from all the document you listed, you will need to proof the family relationship, these including photos of you and your brother together, his birth certificate showing your parents names, emails and chats communication, etc. You can give it a try, however, it difficult for me to predict your chances. What may count for you is your financial and social home ties, that might make the ECO overlooked your pass refusals. Another thing is you will need to justify in your cover letter why your attendance is important to your brother. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by glam12: 5:49pm On May 23, 2018 |

bigbus: Thanks alot for your response. I followed your advice and I went back to read through but in all honesty, I didn't really gain much,and I was discouraged from going further. Please I would really be grateful if you can answer me here. I am 18+, and this is my first sponsored trip. I have two options of sponsorship, my brother or my uncle. My uncle is a politician and he has alot of money in his account, so that might be very okay for statement of account. But he is here in Nigeria, I don't know if I can still use him as my sponsorship. Also, I don't know if i can use my brother as sponsor alternatively since he is the one inviting me over. And also I need to know the documents he/my uncle has to provide and myself included. These are the things I want to be clear with. Can you please help me out, time is really not on my side. I have gotten an introductory letter from DSA in my school today. P.S: Yes sir, I'm surely going to rep unilag well....lol...Thanks in advance. |

DebsMed: 1. There is no any effect the 3months will have on him. The duration of his stay as a visitor is 6months, It is when he over stays after 6months,then he will have trouble. My last vacation to uk last year I stayed 3months with my 2years visa. I came bk and renewed for 5years, when asked to state how long I stayed in my various visits. I stated 3months and the purpose of visit was for vacation and the last visit was 11days on vacation. 2. Please let him d'nt complicate issues on his application by saying he received medical treatment. My advice just tick NO, inorder not to complicate issue. I received medical treatment, I had various GP appointments during my 3months stay and I never paid but when asked in my recent application, I tick NO bc I d'nt want to complicate issues for my self. This days I am not sure, if visitors are allowed to receive FREE medicals. The choice is yours, if u want to click YES, get ready to explain and submit receipts of medical treatment. There is no any trouble he will encount if he ticks NO. My advice just tick NO. 3. Your father in-law is financially able to sponsor him self, with all these u mentioned, there is hope for him. All he needs to do is place all his financial documents together, that includes the houses for rent, all statements of accounts, including pension he should go ahead and apply for 5years, this will save him the stress of applying every year especially if he is a frequent traveler. The 5years visa goes for N321,00 1 Like |

DebsMed: The abuse of NHS is a serious issue, medical tourism contributed massively to that. They need to find out if NHS has sent the bill to the address he used when completing the form at the hospital and pay for the medical bill then send the receipt to be used for visa application. Or use his NHS number to find out how to pay the bill. Yes it will affect his visa application or entering into the UK at some point. 1 Like |

monchat: Well done!! You abused the system and think you got away with it ? Only time will tell. Where in the world do tourist get free medical care in a foreign country? Your abuse of the system has affected others applying for immigration visa including students as they have to pay £200 and £150 respectively yearly before coming to the UK to live or study all thanks to people like you. 3 Likes |

justwise: @DebsMed. This link explain everything. At the age your father in law is now. Definitely, his history of his past visit would be investigated including medical. Better to be honest and find out if his medicals was free or needed to be paid for. https://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/uk-visitors/visiting-england/Pages/visitors-from-outside-the-eea.aspx 1 Like |

Lakesyd5: What year was your mum born in the UK? Does she have the long or short birth certificate? Are her parents still alive? Are there records/documents that place her parents in the UK at the time of your mother birth? Which passport did she use to return back to Nigeria with her parents. What was the immigration status of her parents in the UK at the time of her birth? Where her parent married before or after her birth? If you can answer these questions, then I can offer useful advice either to apply for ROA or British passport. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 11:13am On May 24, 2018 |
monchat: The fact that you got away with this misinformation does not mean others will be as lucky as you. The reason that you escaped a ten year ban is simply that NHS has not sent your file to UKIV as a debtor. For your information and others who might try to doctored their application form. Please note the UKIV and indeed every government institutions in the UK keeps good paper and electronic records even as far back the 18th century. This misformation will count against you one day, as long as you would need to apply for a UK visa in the future. It could be your next application. A word is enough for the wise. |
