Asking for a friend. Can you pay for UK student visa application with a Naira debit card? I usually pay with dorm debit card.

leef2022:


Pls where did you get that condition from?

There is no written condition. It is advisory. Rarely, will an embassy approved a long duration visitor visa for a first timer. Even if she is approved, they will give her 6 months regardless of applying for 2 years. She going there for visit her son, not for tourism or business.

Confidantfunds:

Sent mail since 23rd n 27th June, decision has been made... Made paid calls and decisions has been made, but no movement to tls

Escalated twice, still nothing.

No refusal mail
No nsf

Please what’s the full meaning of NSF

Anyone travelling next month 4th August lol …. Qatar Airways from Lagos

Checks are needed otherwise, some persons would leave with wrong info...also when the term only is put in use, that goes beyond advisory and more like certainty hence I asked whereabouts i could read such..

Thank you

If she's a first time visitor, 6 months please. She can only apply for 2 years as a visitor if she has previously had a 6 months visiting visa.

yes i have someone but 5th August Qatar airways… from abj.. change your date lol

Hello house,
i was rejected my visit visa, the rejection letter attached to the mail was blank but i have no right to appeal or istrative review. I sent a paid email and i was told i should wait 15working days (i think it's a generic response). please my question is, can i reapply again immediately or i should wait 3 months again before reapplying? (i need to visit my brother in-law to help his wife with their new baby, she's always crying each time we speak, i dey ptiy her.

You should not reapply without knowing why u were refused. If you insist, ok go ahead with what is surely a recipe for disaster.
Your brother in law can help his wife as well as perinatal counselling from the NHS who offer services in the interim.
She needs to speak to her doctor and get all the mental health services/ that is available. This is very commonly gottn especially for pregnant and nursing mothers. My apologies to her and I hope she makes it through this difficulty.
Your reasons are not grounds to be given a visa compulsorily.. infact none is… we all have to satisfy the ECO one way or the other. If you dnt meet the visa conditions you wont be given so hold on until you know why you were refused and then if it can be tackled then go ahead .
You prove your ties and intentions and show on the balance of probabilities why you would return to Nigeria.
Also keep in mind you only recently said you are going for graduation, the next moment you want to reapply and say you are going for childcare … dnt allow your application look like that of desperation because thts what it looks like.
Wait until the rejection letter matter is sorted and take it from there

You'll do yourself a whole world of favour to read through the UKVI guidelines for visitors. If you have a contrary view your best bet is to have stated that with the relevant quote

On the contrary it is not advisory, it is a rule. First time visitors can only apply for a 6 months visa. Thank you

ok sir

Good day house. I made application on the 6th of June for visa renewal and was notified for pickup on the 5th of July however I am unable to pickup my port due to personal and logistics reason until the 29th of July.

I have been sent a reminder that it has exceeded 2 weeks with the possibility of having my port sent back to the embassy from Tls ikeja.

Is there a way I can them as I see I cannot reply to the mail they sent

Does everyone with a rejection/refusal now get a prior refusal mail/letter before picking up their ports or it's not in all occasions

Please who knows how to go about changing cac status to active from inactive. Thank you

Try Alat by Wema dollar virtual card.

yes in 99% of cases… those who dnt get and receive their ports too without visa and prior rejection email… when they reach out to UKVI, it is still a refusal(the mail got lost in transit or network problems)

Thank you so much, this sounds much better

I had done so before I commented and there wasn't such an info hence I asked where you got yours from since you have it as your pillow. I mean don't see why you are iritated at me seeking knowledge and understanding to your post. Considering I started my question with a "PLS"....

Someone should pls help me… my husband is my sponsor and I’m going to visit him in the Uk, I heard someone talking about PTA. So how much will be my PTA.. in the Uk visiting form i told them I’m spending 1.5M and my husband is sponsoring the visit.so do I tell him to send the 1.5M in pounds? someone said I should take $1000. Will $1000 be enough?

PTA is personal travel allowance. The maximum is $4000. You will need your port with visa stickers and flight ticket to apply at your bank. It has nothing to do with the fund your husband is sending to you.

Dnt panic.. pta means personal travel allowance meaning it is personal to you and your travel.
Just hold a reasonable amount of money in hand incase you are asked at the UK border. Note I said UK border, nigerian immigration officials have no business with how much you are carrying except over 10, 000 usd which u will have to declare.
Also if this amount you will have to declare at the UK borders. If less than this it is not NIS business.
Your concern is if the UK border officials want to see if you are carrying money or not. U can carry some in cash and the rest in your .

HelenABUO:
Okay thanks

And try to get pounds. They dont spend dollars in UK. U will end up coming to buy pounds again in the UK.. this is okay if you dont mind losing money due to buying currency twice

If you can afford to buy $4000 PTA, buy it, and deposit it into your dorm . Its the cheapest way to get forex at CBN rate. Otherwise you have to buy at BDM rate at the airport. Since you already have your visa. You do not need to carry much physical cash. $500 cash is enough as your husband will be waiting for your at the airport.
