Www.booking.com make sure to filter your search. You want free cancellation just before estimated arrival date and “preferably” close proximity to central london. kolajoo: |

If i were you, I wouldn't reapply, I will make a complain to there complain unit. You were denied unjustly, also, it seems the eco expected to see a valid tie to your home country. Like a child, maybe you schooling, aged parents, investments, etc. But I can feel your urgency to reapply. T33cis: |

how do i track visa application? edited. figured it out |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by omopapa: 8:25pm On Nov 30, 2019 |
Considering the sentence in bold below, I’d apply on my own without stating or including any relative. It becomes more complicated when you mention that you have a relative. Since you have a tie to Ireland (your uni) and you have sufficient funds, I think you shld apply on your own and not declare any distant relative. Blessedolamide: 2 Likes |

Good evening all. It's me again. I've been going through the posts and the my question is explaining the funds in one's account. My Sister and her husband want to build travel history and would like to travel to the UK THIS CHRISTMAS for seven days (DEC 28th to JAN 5). My sister earns like 4M par annum and has a balance of about N3M in her account Her husband earns about N120K per month and has a balance of N6M Actually, some of the deposits in his account are for a friend who's abroad, that gives him some money to keep. Their budget for the christmas trip is almost N3 million and they're willing to pay. Flight for 2 kids and 2 adults Hotel for the four Feeding, etc. What do you advice? Do you think they should all go together or only the wife should go first then later they both apply together? Or in what order do you think they should plan the trip. PLEASE HELP US cos they've already filled the application. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ozymes: 9:20pm On Nov 30, 2019 |
I don't think you have been going through the posts here. Because if you did, you would have known that evidenced monthly salaries and subsequent disposable monthly income is a key factor. Furthermore, you have N3m in your account and you want a travel budget of N3m to fly? Them nor go chop when dem come back? Abi dem nor want come back ni? jesuisroya: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by jesuisroya: 9:30pm On Nov 30, 2019 |
Hi. Thanks for your reply. Both of them have a total of 9M in their account. They plan to come back. AGAIN we're trying to look for something more concrete. I just advised my sister to leave the kids out of this first application, let her and her husband apply alone. What do you think? Concerning accommodation, is a mixed hostel acceptable for husband and wife? Hostels are cheaper. But it's shared bathroom and other facilities. ozymes: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ozymes: 9:53pm On Nov 30, 2019 |
Can you state each of their disposable income? jesuisroya: |

It is NOT possible Real life personal experience, I travelled to Paris from Birmingham. My return flight was via Dublin airport, I wasn’t allowed to enter Dublin Cus I didn’t have Irish visa. The immigration officer even had a list in her cubicle where she confirmed with my nationality. Had to just continue my journey to UK jejely. The link posted here specifically states that except for citizens of India or China. Find highlighted points in the attached pictures justwise:

omopapa: That was just an example, with UK short visa you can visit Ireland and vice versa. This is not for people holding student visa or Long term visitors to the UK. Its called Short stay visa waiver programme Don't argue about something you don't know. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by omopapa: 12:19am On Dec 01, 2019 |
@jesuisroya pls tell your friend to call a flight booking agent to confirm this. I have used my own personal experience as example. Please get back to us with the findings let us all learn from it. justwise: |

Aibisoye0: I send emails every other day, they recently replied that they have transferred it to accounts where they are verifying the transaction but I will keep sending emails. When banks refuse to refund Atm false debits, do you know that phone number or email that was publicized for people to make complaints? If we can get it, we can send our complaints to them. Can anyone in the house help with it? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by justwise(m): 9:42am On Dec 01, 2019 |
omopapa: You were holding the wrong visa and as expected they refused you entry. You need a short stay visa either from the UK or the Irish government |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by justwise(m): 9:44am On Dec 01, 2019 |
customised87: Unfortunately this takes time, it takes as long as 6 months to get a refund sadly. I went through that experience with a family member. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 10:11am On Dec 01, 2019 |
3 million? Even if they have 100 million in their accounts the ECO doesn’t care. They shouldn’t declare on their application to spend more than twice their disposable monthly income per person... and somewhere in your writeup I saw 120k as salary monthly.. in comparison to this salary they will need a lot of convincing to the visa officer on how this money came about and why they should be granted visa. Go through the thread pls.. this account balance has to be concretely explained and herein lies the deciding factor of their visas U also said some money in the account is for some friends abroad that give him money to keep.. my dear they will be denied with all this money from friends... why are friends giving them money to keep? Hmm dont play with this kind of stuff and go to embassy... ur account statement will be scrutinized and every deposit will push you further down the refusal jesuisroya: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ozymes: 11:09am On Dec 01, 2019 |
Justwise. Are you saying any Nigerian passport holder with the regular UK visit visa can enter the Republic of Ireland on same Visit visa for a short visit? justwise: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by justwise(m): 11:14am On Dec 01, 2019 |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ecton(m): 3:45pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
Hi everyone. I have a valid Uk multiple entry visit visa which I used for one week in October and the visa expires in April next year. I want to visit again this December to attend a family member's PhD graduation ceremony and also spend Christmas and new year holiday there. I'll be going with an invitation letter from the graduand and he will also be accommodating me. The total visiting duration would be about 3 weeks + (trying to get a decent fare rate in this rush period). My worry is if there's any policy on returning visits or if there's a limit to the duration of visit, especially for a second visit. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 4:27pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
If u have a valid visa u are free to visit.. just make sure ur host is aware that they are going to be housing you for that period and that’s all. ecton: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by omopapa: 4:42pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
I have read through the Short Stay Waiver Programme you mentioned and I can confirm categorically that you CANNOT enter Ireland with a UK short stay visa if you are not a citizen of some countries in Eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia. Find below extract from http://www.inis.gov.ie/ I have also attached a picture Short stay visa waiver programme You may be able to visit Ireland, for less than 90 days, without an Irish visa if you can answer “yes” to each of these questions: Do you have an eligible UK short stay visa? and Does your visit to Ireland end before your permission to stay in UK ends (this is granted by an UK immigration official when you pass through UK immigration)? and Was your passport issued by one of the countries listed in the list below?

As mentioned by @giselle237 make sure your host is aware of your arrival date and y’all shld be on the same page as to where you will be staying. You don’t have any problems except that they might want to drill you at the point of entry. Your confidence and how you present yourself to answer the questions matters a lot. Be composed, look them in the eye, smile and answer what they ask. ecton: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ecton(m): 5:01pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
The host is aware. Thanks for the response. I appreciate. omopapa: giselle237: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by DMainMan: 6:33pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
ecton:Your host should write a succint letter of invitation stating the date when you will live with him and the date you will return back to Nigeria. He should also send relevant documents like tenancy agreement, his passport e.t.c. His he providing feeding? You also must provide all relevant documents Check my post on page 159 for more details. |
