I don't pay myself salary, how do I explain my personal income and expenditure?

feelgoodstuffs:


I'm thinking since I'm going for a conference related to my Business (Tech), I should just use only the Business account.

Hello everyone,

Please a quick one, I have been saving some amount every month from my salary for my trip to the UK. This amount varies according to bonus, 13th month, etc. so I do not have a certain amount I save.

The thing is that I save it into another account that I do not transact on and it is strictly inflows for my savings. Do you think using that account will fly? because I do not have any outflows just inflows from my salary account. In the transfer description, I always put 'Savings for summer trip' and I plan to use it alongside the main account I transfer from.

Also the amount in my savings now is higher than what I have in my main account or my monthly salary, but I've been saving for a long time for this trip. I most likely will not use all the funds there, i would probably use about 600k - 650k and my monthly salary is about 250k.

Please what do you think?

I ask this because the ECOs are particular about businessmen and women posting their sales revenue as their income. It would be good though if you can show the entire sales revenue and try to separate the profit from it so you can evidently show that you are not using your sales capital for vacation travels. This is why you were advised to pay your self monthly from your company's account to show you earn something substantial. All the best.

I can't really answer that..you know average of what you spent as a household ..that will give you an idea how much to put but exaggerating/under stating figures will not help your application

Ok. Thank you. But please I have another issue and I really need an advice on what to do. Like I stated earlier I was refused Visa in 2012, and I have searched for the refusal letter, but I cannot see it. In the visa form, there is a question on if I have been refused visa before which I answered yes but the reason is what I dont have anymore please what do i do?

Alkidam:

no i didnt but transactions are indicated on the bank statement

justwise:


You really have to give a brief explanation about the refusal but if you can't remember then state that then add the year and month.

They know why you were refused and have all the details but still you have to acknowledge it

Chijiuba:


Please Should I give the explanation of my not remembering the reason for refusal in my cover letter or on the section in the form where it says I should state the reason for rejection.

Hello guys, please I need you advice.

My mum is currently applying for a UK visitors visa to visit me in the UK. She's fully capable of sponsoring herself, as she's retired she receives a monthly pension payment. Also, she owns 2 houses with multiple tenants who pay into her account.
I will be providing her accommodation during her stay, as well as feeding and transport within the UK. I have only been here for about 2 months so I don't have sufficient funds in my account to sponsor her. (1 salary received so far)

What I want to know is what documents she needs to submit especially as proof of finances (as a pensioner and landlord)?

Also, what documents can I also send to support her application?
Invitation letter? My BRP? Bills?

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

@bonnie submit all accounts and explain this way and more in your cover letter. The money is yours, as long as it shows origin of funds then u are good to go
Pls dont submit bank statement less than 6 months
Leave ur budget in your application within 2 times your disposable income to be safe.. read up parts of this thread to understand

What is your monthly salary? Forget about the amount you have saved so far.

House, please kindly assist. A cousin of mine intends traveling with his family(family of four-self, wife & 2kids) do they need to fill separate forms, open separate email add. Better still how’s a family form-filling different from a single individual filling?
Thanks in advance!

Your mum is in a better position to get a UK visa.

Here are the document she needs to submit:

1. Her bank statement where she collects her pension.

2. If she has a letter /pension certificate, then that's a plus

3. A letter of support from your dad saying that he is happy for your mum to visit the UK while he is in Nigeria. (shows family ties in Nigeria)

4. Property document (C of O or Deed) that proof that she or your parent own the property they live in.

5. Your birth certificate (that shows she is your mum)

6. Marriage certificate (if she has one. If not, don't stress on this, as I successfully invited my parent without it)

7. Does she give receipt to her tenant? If she does, then ask her to include her tenancy duplicate as part of the application.

8. If she doesn't, then she can explain that deposit into her account on a separate letter to say she has tenant.




On your own part, you need to provide the following:

1. Council tax bill
2. Your rent agreement or Mortgage statement (depending on if you own or rent)
3. Your BRP
4. A letter of invitation from you
5. Your one month payslip
6. Your job offer letter


In your invitation letter, state why you are inviting your mum, for what length (put dates) i.e. My hope is that she will be able to arrive on the 4th of July and spend 3 weeks with me.

Also, state in your invitation letter that you've only recently started work, hence why you only have one month payslip.


I can't think of anything else, but maybe some other people will suggest some things I am missing out.

@blazetitov
Check the 1st page of the thread. Information should be there
... then funds for the visa application should be palpable... not certificate form
Then How do u earn a living this very moment? What’s the purpose of the travel?Are u married?Do u have any children?Do u have any siblings or parents alive and in Nigeria? Any assets/property?

blazetitov:
Thanks for your quick response. I will recheck the first page again. I am aware of the visa fees. What i want to know is the other funds for the vacation if it can be in T-bills during the application process. Travel purpose is for tourism.Married with kids. Parents and siblings in Nigeria. Asset/property; yes. Working in the financial service sector.
