Yes you can pay with your naira debit card. I have paid with both Mastercard and Visa Card. My friends and i used to old website and it worked well. Waiting for passport with visas. Hoping for the best. kokoli: |

wiselong: I would strictly advise that your application should be based on the training only. Mixing it with pleasure trip will not work. If you get the visa then you can extend your visit for few more days or revisit the UK after your training. Since the training is been sponsored, you will need the necessary documents from your company as sponsor and the organization conducting the training, as well as your personal documents to showing that you have a strong home tie to Nigeria (bank statement, pay slips, marriage certificate, etc) Read back and you will see list of common documents for visit visa. |

ekpotek: Thank you @ekpotek, If I indicate my training days as my number of days to stay, can I stay two weeks longer than that date? If I do? will it count as an offense against my next visit? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by OmoBendel24: 11:45am On Sep 25, 2018 |
wiselong: I think it's understandable if you arrive a day or two to your training period and depart a day or two after. 8-10 days should be good to state, you may then extend it to 12-14 days on your actual visit without much worries. So I think sha, not necessarily solid.... I for one can state one week and even do up to a month, but if you try it, you can get injured. |

OmoBendel24: Lol @ the get injured part. Thanks though |

Hello house...please I decided to throw my question here since the Ireland thread(where my question is suited for) isn't effective at such... I am planning to apply for Ireland tourist visa as a tourist. I have traveled severally in the past to the UK and have been looking forward to travelling to Ireland someday but haven't had the opportunity until now, I want to spend my forthcoming leave days from work in Ireland. Please note that my husband is a UK citizen and resident who visits me often in Nigeria. I have no plan joining him in the UK soon as I am still comfortable with my job hence my stay in Nigeria. Also,It is just going to be me visiting alone and hubby doesn't intend joining me from london as he has used up all his leave days at work.what are my chances please? |

Hello house, has anyone gone to TLS without getting an email or SMS from then for collection. I applied before my siblings and all their applications are out. They applied in Abuja mine was Lagos |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 2:40pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
OmoBendel24: @Wiselong. Yes is possible. However, I will not advise it. As this is will be your first visa, it is important to keep to your first UK visa plan. Many have unintentially extended their stay and regretted it as it affected their subsequent UK visa application. Like @OmoBendel24 said, you can add one or two days extras but not 10 days. |

Hello house, I am back to say thank you to all the wonderful people on this thread. My son's visa is out. He was denied at first and I applied exactly a week after I received his refusal note. I took the advice of ekpotek . I submitted same documents and upgraded the bank statements. I also addressed the initial refusal. Timeline Application submitted 31st August Biometrics 4th September Sheffo receipt email 10th September TLS collection email 24th September at 2.30 pm Received passport with visa 25th September at 2.46 pm My observation, TLS VI centre more organised, less strenous and faster than ikeja. Thank you @ekpotek, justwise and all the good people. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 6:02pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
Motol: You will need to apply for c visit visa on your own merit. However, if you were traveling with your UK husband, you would have apply under EU free movement laws with minimal documents other than your marriage certificate and a copy your husband UK passport. Just go the INIS website and complete the application form. At the end you get a check list of documents to submit with your application. Another options if you don’t mind adventure and the risk is to fly into UK if you have a UK visa and ask your husband to take you into Ireland by road/ferry (You will need your marriage certificate). He drops you off, then come back and pick you when you are ready to depart. 1 Like |

Hello House. Pls I need your urgent advise/suggestion.I was denied uk visa last week and want to reapply immediately with more supporting document and an explanatory letter from my sister in the UK. I reapplied last week Friday on the new website but I cancelled my application the next day cos of a little mistake I made in the application. I want to start a new application but haven't received my refund. I received an email saying my refund would be processed after 28days. Can i go ahead with another application while i wait for the refund? Would the cancellation have any effect on my new application? Would I still get my previous refund if I make new payment? Pls I new your urgent advise . Thank you! |

I didn't submit any tax clearance Invitation letter Cover letter Company Bank statement Personal Bank statement (low closing balance) marriage and kid's birth certificate Tenancy agreement. Documents were scanned and returned to me prior to biometrics exercise. Wishing you guys the best! 3 Likes |

jason02: I don't think anyone can predict your chances of getting visa. Be sincere in your application and add all necessary documents to show you have ties to Nigeria and you will come back. Applying as a family doesn't stop them giving you visa if you have strong ties back home; but why can't you apply alongside with your kids and let your husband be your family tie back home. Just my view. Good luck! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by folmus: 5:53am On Sep 26, 2018 |
mutico20: You see, nobody responds to this question. If you put it in google, you will see a link. However, I believe VFS is in charge of Middle East applications. You can try check it on google and the link to apply ill pop-up. |

Hello guys, please I need assist. I am planning of going to UK for honeymoon, my company hasn’t been registered and I have done transaction of 10m for the past 6 months but my acct balance Is less than 1m. Can it work ? If yes what are the documents I will need ? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by edmasta01: 9:09am On Sep 26, 2018 |
Iamoilprince: The guru's will answer, but let me contribute from my small knowledge. For this to happen, you need to have a plan. e.g. when is your wedding? What is your previous travel history? How do you intend to fund this honeymoon? e.g. Are you going to spend that 1 million from your business account? if this is so, that is a red flag. If you are not registered business, i don't think this is really an issue, as technically, you can run an SME in your personal name. As long a you explain this in your visa letter + you provide proof of tax payment if you've been doing business for more than two years. |

youreign: Go ahead and start a new application. The new application is entirely different from the old one and will have a new reference number. You will still get your refund. I did the same for my friend. Cancelled and started a new application the next day. Still got our refund. Visa is out too. 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by yjay(f): 1:52pm On Sep 26, 2018 |
hi everyone i really need your advice. i stumbled on this link regarding uk visa last week after i had applied and i pretty much had an inkling that i would be refused after reading spme of the post here. i visited the VI OFFICE and submitted my supporting documents on the 6th sept 2018 and i received a mail to pick up today 26th sept 2018 and i was refused. i had no idea about cover letter so i did not include that. I applied for a 6 months visitors visa. Brief history about me; I work for an electronic mutluinational and have been working there for 5 years. i earn a salary of 246,000. this i stated in the form and also provided evidence with my payslips. Documents attached 1) letter from employer 2) 6 months payslip 3) 3 bank statements which includes salary account and savings account 4) passport page of hubby(married) 5) evidence of 3m federal govt bond and letter from the bank 6) evidence of 4m money market fund and a letter showing that money can be accessed within 48 hours 7) letter and passport page of my sister. shes a British citizen ![]() 9)utility bill showing her address 10) marriage certificate 11) change of name document 12) tax card 13) drivers license ( i included this cos i wanted to.show my current address) 14) letter from one of the banks also showing that i operate both naira and dorm account. i am pretty bumed cos i applied in july 2009 and i was rejected based on lack of funds. and now that it seems i am financially independent i still get rejected. However i can see where the confusion might be as i get deposits from time to time when i purchase electronics for custimers which.is usually done throigh my gt account which was the focus in the rejection letter. There was no mention of my salary account even though i transfer to another account once i receive my salary Regarding transactions done with my gtbank i ddnt want to focus on that as i felt it would be weird. Perhaps i should not have included it. i really need advice here. i have absolutely no desire to live in the uk. do you suggest i reapply or just forget about it. my sister says i have to reapply as she says there is no basis for rejection even though i tried explaining the "cover letter" to her but she says its not part of the requirements. i waited 9 years to reapply so im a bit upset but then again! @justwise anyone with advice for me. i am also open to answer questions. i have alao attached a part of the refusal letter. thank you.
