I need your help please.
My parents have a 6 months visit visa and travelling via air to UK. Can anyone please help clarify as I was getting conflicting information about transit visa. Do Nigerians require it? Has anyone used them recently from Abuja to UK. If so how easy is it to get the airport transit visa. Any tips please? Many thanks.

They need Schenghen transit visa or UK BRP to use air /KLM.
If above not available, then they need USA, Canada, Japan or Schenghen visas or resident permits.
Schenghen transit visa is as per filling visa application forms, booking appointment, going for appointments, submitting required documents and then waiting for outcome.

Thank you very much

No point going to vfs when you've not been sent a collection mail. Your best bet is to send a paid email or patiently wait for collection mail. Add prayer to your waiting to. All things are possible. All the best

Greetings everyone, I'm applying for a 7 day visit visa. I earn 500k monthly and monthly expenses is 50k as my husband fully s the household expenses.

My question is with the high price of flight tickets can I still be within 2 months salary budget that's 900k for my 7 days trip.

Hostel £105
A week Bus £25
Feeding for a week 90

That's £220 excluding flight ticket.

Please everyone advise how I can stay within 2 month budgets.

Good day everyone,

I want to depart Nigeria on the 26th because I will be using a connecting flight by Qatar airways which arrives Gatwick on the 27th but my entry date is 27th to the UK.

I want to know if I would have any issues boarding on that 26th?

Most likely. Your trip to UK via Doha is based on your valid visa.

Since the visa is not valid till 27th, Qatar Airways might not permit you to travel to Doha.

Best you change your travel date. What were you thinking?

If your Husband sponsors the trip, it might work.

However, your monthly salary is low and that might be an issue.

It is worth trying. Good luck!

They will most likely not let you board. You can depart from 27th and not before.

Mrs B is visiting UK. Her husband is sponsoring the trip while a friend of Mrs B will host her when she arrives.

What should be the right title for invite from Mrs B friend? Invitation from host or sponsor?

I want to use host. Just asking to be sure.

Hello house

If I can cancel application,how many days it will take ukv to refund visa fees?

This has happened to me before with Air and they boarded me.

My visa start date was the following day, whereas I was to depart at 11pm or thereabout.

Using these your dates for example. My Schengen visa starts on the 27th, but I booked AF flight scheduled for takeoff around 11pm on the 26th.

Air boarded me. But I recall I got in touch with them earlier and received confirmation that they'll board me. Some Naija immigration I sought their opinion earlier wanted to use that opportunity to extort me but I later ignored them.

Now, AF may exercise some discretion and flexibility because they are the national carrier of their country, my destination and may be able to easily sort things out.

So you have to ensure you get multiple confirmation from Qatar. Both their customer care and directly from their Airport desk.

All those Emirates, Qatar, Turkish, MAROC... Those guys sometimes do not treat us with respect and dignity. Emirates almost made me miss my connecting flight from Dubai to Paris on one occasion when they were analysing my visa over and over saying it looks fake. I just stood there watching all their antics with amusement wondering if someone who is not the issuing authority can validly declare a visa as fake.

Sponsor cannot invite as he does not live in the UK.

Host can invite. Sponsor can provide letter of sponsorship

Her biometrics was on the 2nd of May. And email was received around 1pm today.

She's retired but receives a monthly pension. I deposited 8m into her and made a monthly payment of 300k as upkeep. That was the only credit besides her usual pension. Her statement of 2 months was submitted.

My sister is on a post graduate visa and submitted her statement of 2months (circa £4000 balance) also since she's the one inviting and being responsible for her upkeep.

Please am applying for my mum and I intend using one month bank statement. It has a balance of £3203. There are period during the one month that the balance in statement was £250. Can I use the statement with the fluctuations in the balance and the fact it is a one month statement?
Thanks.

Unless they have United States, Canada, Japan, or Schengen visas or resident permits, they will require a transit visa in order to connect through any Schengen area to their final destination.

Personally I would not do this.
Especially if you are a student or on psw. But this is just me.
If you want to give 1 month bank statement then give minimum of 3 months payslips. Again I won’t personally do this especially if your mom has no travel history. Shows struggle finances for both applicant and sponsor…
