This issue of card payment is so annoying. My dollar card refuse to be delivered since a month ago. I ended up telling my brother to pay from UK and I refunded him.

Just Incase anyone needs the info. I use 3 debit cards to pay for visa fees for main applicant and dependents. GTB deducted N176,280 and some, Standard Chartered N197,200 while Access bank deducted 201,140 for the fees.
The transaction was on Saturday though

Please what is the exact amount in Naira for visa application and ihs fees. Please I mean the total in Maida not pounds. Thank you

I'm experiencing the same thing.

I have been trying to book an appointment since yesterday to no avail.

Hi,
Alot of people are experiencing same, they can't seem to find slots on TLS. Like others have said, keep checking, perharps also check at odd hours.

The rush plus lack of slots could be the reason.

Cheers

Hi there everyone,
I've been following this thread for a while (very informative indeed), and now it's crunch time, so I've created an account to ask questions.
I just got my CAS, filled in the infernal forms, and now I'm stuck at the TLS appointment booking stage.
I've tried to mouse over some of the dates, nothing seems to work.
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong, biko?
@mimilyrics, could you shed any light, thank you?

Please how did you do this. I will also be paying for 3 dependents.I had thought of this before but someone said the IHS and Visa fees are paid for together. I also have 4-5 cards of different bank I could use.Kindly shed more light.

Thank you

One more thing - do you know how I can actually log in to the TLS site with a GWF number or something like that?
I woke up now and tried to refresh, but apparently I can only log into the TLS service selection area if redirected from the Gov.Uk site, and I cannot get that to happen no matter how I retry. There is no actual area for logging in on the TLS site, even though it keeps asking me to do so.

Pls can I use any bank in paying my tuition or some banks are better.. planing gtbank..

I'm paying for dependents too., so here's what I found out yesterday while trying to pay - The fees are deducted in two tranches ,and are denominated in dollars.
The IHS fee is deducted first, and it's $603.
I used my Access Bank naira card for that, which has a $1,000 limit, but Access debits you at the black market rate (very painful).

GTB works too, but it has a cap of $500, so you can use that to pay the second tranche of the fee, which was $466 as at yesterday. (they debited me at about 400)
My wife's Zenith bank card did not work.

There is no exact amount in naira as shown in my example. We only have exact in pounds. Exchange rate fluctuates daily and bank charges differs too. That’s how come I paid visa fees with 3 different banks and they deducted different amounts from me.

Someone else paid for IHS for me, it’s only the visa fees I could pay for because the fees is less than the $500 monthly limit

Go to the email you received that confirms your payment is successful. The one that has “noreply” as the sender. Open the mail and click on the highlighted “return to application” , click on provide biometrics whenever you see it as an option and it will redirect you to your TLS account.

For people trying to book an account, just keep checking. Tiring it is but that seems the only option. Also put all your documents together while doing this. They will be releasing dates that people have booked for but didnt use. They also plan to add to their times cause they are aware of the congestion.
I have always said why would I pay 11,700 for upload when I can easily do it myself but while checking at intervals I suddenly saw the assisted upload available. I clicked it without blinking. Better to pay this and get a booking on time. I also suggest putting documents together and preparing for interview because about 5 people got an appointment online on Sunday morning (assisted upload) for this Tuesday and Thursday ... which meant very few days to prepare.

Hi,

Yes the way back to the TLS site is through the Gov.UK using your sign-in detail you started with in your application.

When you log in and scroll down the last part, it has the section 'provide biometrics and documents' or something like that,if you click on it , it takes you to TLS

I think this is the new norm, even when you finish your visa application, tracking your application will be through the Gov.UK. same route but instead of 'book or amend ' on the page, it will be 'track

Not to confuse you..finish with the visa application first

Cheers

@ Pittoilett
Please were you able to pay with the access bank card?
If yes pls what rate did they charge you.

I am asking because am thinking of getting the card too so I can use it for my payments as well.
Thank you

I used Access Bank in making IHS payment yesterday but couldn't use it for my Visa fee. That means , Access bank has a monthly limit of $1000, I guess. I have to transfer money (naira) to my brothers Access account and use his card details to pay.

pittoilet:
those that have paid, please how did you pay for ihs and visa fee? I have been having issue with payment using my access bank card

please help

Update

So apparently, access bank monthly limit is $1000 and I am to pay $1005.

Why am I so unlucky?

I had same experience yesterday. I used my Access account to pay my IHS and used my brothers Access bank account card details to pay for my Visa.

Have u gotten your CAS from Liverpool hope?

mdeeokoye:
I have not sent my statement and TB yet. I will be sending it by month end.

Were you able to get an appointment date

Thank you, dduchess.
Can I also ask another question - (I'm going with dependents) is it possible to book an appointment at say, V.I. for myself, then maybe Ikeja for my wife, and then we attend the earlier of them with the children and pay the flexi fee?

Not quiet clear on this, you want to do a double booking and attend both? Since you are applying with your dependants at the same time, you are all expected to book in the same venue. What happens to the second booking? Not really sure of what you mean though.

Not sure the system will allow you, if your records are in one venue you probably can't attend any other venue to be honest. I know we are all desperate to get a booking and an early one, please try to avoid complicating things

As anyone successfully booked an appointment on the TLS Victoria Island page.

I have been trying to book since yesterday to no avail.

Please what date did you eventually get?
Location of your appointment also

Thank you
