People have warned on here several times not to mix business funds with personal funds. You need to be paying yourself salary monthly from your business account to your savings. Do that for minimum of 6 months, that way you will be able to calculate your disposable income kaampe1: 1 Like |

Thanks for the update, but Birmingham is not a tourist attraction. His your friend in UK to write exam or something? We still need a Tourist POE transcript for people to know what's going on at the airport. Thanks Wales1111: |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nchabuomo: 7:55am On Oct 10, 2020 |
eyeshaveseen: What do you mean by Birmingham is not a tourist attraction For the sake of agreement let's say Birmingham is not a tourist attraction (whatever that means), Birmingham is still a commute away from London so can be used as a base (accommodation etc). That's on the assumption that you consider London a 'tourist attraction'. |

I wonder o, the Heathrow airport is hot at the moment for tourist cause nobody will be policing you for the 14Days isolations once you're allowed into the country. We pray for this Corona Virus should go so everything can be ease. Vasco1dagama: |

Who says Birmingham isn’t a tourist city? There’s Aston Villa Stadium, Birmingham stadium, Cadbury chocolate factory, Jewellery Quarters (a whole street dedicated for jewelleries), Sea life, Bullring shopping centre and even Dudley zoo is few minutes away from Birmingham. These are places you can mention when asked why Birmingham as your chosen city for holiday eyeshaveseen: |

I posted my story here in 2018, thanks to those that advised me @phardey @customised87 etc and thanks also to those that said I would never get a visa because I had been banned earlier from entering the UK because of deception. So I applied for UK student visas in 2005 and 2007 and used deception and changed my identity in one of the applications. All the documents submitted were actually not originals. I was young and being misled by some stupid agents at that time. In 2017 I met my wife who is a British citizen, we had a baby in 2018, he is also a British citizen and we got married in 2019 in Nigeria. Few weeks ago, we decided that I applied for a UK visitor's visa to be able to visit them. I submitted the application and declared both previous applications. I wrote a cover letter detailing the deception, and I apologised for the behaviour. I explained how I had evolved over the years into a high profile professional working with one of the best oil companies in Nigeria. Long story short, I was so surprised I got the visa few days ago; the application however took longer than normal, I assume they were making several checks and verifications. Documents submitted Int'l Passport - with 1 expired schengen visa and Dubai stamps Marriage Cert Letter from employer Payslips - 3 months Bank statement - 75m balance Property documents Copy of wife's UK passport Copy of child's uk passport wife's payslips wife's bank statement Pictures of family trips to Italy, Germany and Dubai - We went on 3 family trips in 2018 and 2019 Whatsapp conversations I am posting my story because I am sure there are a lot of people in my shoes and they do not know how to go about their next application. Please just be as truthful and transparent as you can be; do not hide anything especially if they already have the information. 8 Likes |

dehiero: Hello Dehiero, i have got a similar suggestion from someone......please do you know how she can do this?? and would any taxation need ot be shown on the payslip?(if yes what is the tax percentage in Nigeria).........Please how can she go about this payslip thingy? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by dehiero: 4:16pm On Oct 10, 2020 |
Irenenwaka:Ask her to get a payslip from someone and use the same format for hers as well |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nobody: 5:16pm On Oct 10, 2020 |
dehiero: yes i have a sample of someone's payslip... i noticed tax is always deducted on payslips but i dont know what percentage was used. so my mum pays herself 200k every month...the payslip shud include the gross pay nd then net pay will be 200k. with not knowing what percentage to use, its impossible to get a gross pay do you get? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by justwise(m): 6:22pm On Oct 10, 2020 |
Irenenwaka: Don't do that, its fraudulent act, you can't prepare your own payslip when you are running one man/woman business, that is scoring an own goal and self-deceiving. The money your mum makes after expenses is her profit and not salary. She can keep record of her purchases, sales and profits. at the end of every months or weeks she move her profit from business account to savings and present these two accounts during her visa application. Paying yourself salary for purpose of visa application is like setting your own exam questions, answer them then award yourself high marks. 2 Likes |

justwise: What’s the difference between preparing your own tax and intentionally paying yourself monthly salaries just to apply for a visa,it’s not fraud?! Lol! I think it’s a ‘Lazy’ procedure on the side of the Eco’s,We’re Nigerians,way of life and business runnings are different! It’s like when it’s not salary style account,they don’t understand it! They need to do a thorough survey on Nigerians so as to know how to grade our applications properly! If you don’t know us,how would you be able to grade properly? They spend so much time looking for what’s wrong instead of looking for ways to make it easier for people that actually qualify for a visa but doesn’t appear like it at first glance! Telling grown family men and women to avoid putting so so monies in their account,transferring money up and down for months for visa! I get it! It’s the procedure,follow it or leave it! But UK people needs to do a re-study on Nigerians! You can’t use the style of a country that’s over 200yrs to grade a 60 year old country! 4 Likes |

justwise: Hello Justwise thank you for your input. it highly respected and appreciated. Firstly with this approach, i will be unable to provide an exact answer as to how much my mums monthly earning or annual earning is. i would be only able to make an estimate, as we all know the business structure in Nigeria, sales flunctuate severely each month hence profit fluctuation. From the last 2 applications i made that was denied, i submitted her bank statement and i only estimated an annual income. the ECO claimed they couldnt prove my mum earns the claimed annual income from the bank statement which they saw....This is very true because a business person's income isnt as fixed as a white collar professional, so i wonder how i am expected to provide an annual incopme from a very fluctuated bank statement. i think this is the biggest advantage white collar professionals has over business owners. Justwise please do you see my point? This is just me trying to rub minds with you, if thats ok |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by BiggestAmaju: 8:14pm On Oct 10, 2020 |
justwise: Frankly, the quickest way for self employed to get their visa is by getting salaries into their savings account monthly. It gives you easy financial presentation. I tried all effort using joint company and profit as explained by Just Wise but got refused 4 times. I took time to pay myself and submitted and got the visa. Sometimes you try to explain to the best of your knowledge and the VO might get a different view. There is nothing wrong paying your self a defined monthly salary as long as the business is stable and running well. If it has worked for others it can work for her too. Paying your self from your own business isn't a fraud. 4 Likes |
