The UK Home Office has updated several visa pathways that directly affect Nigerian applicants. Getting the details wrong at the application stage can mean costly delays or outright refusals.
Key Changes
Standard Visitor Visa
The financial sufficiency threshold has been revised upwards. Applicants now need to demonstrate stronger ties to Nigeria and provide bank statements covering a longer period.
Student Visa (CAS Route)
CAS numbers must now be used within 3 months of issuance rather than 6. Begin your visa application immediately after receiving your CAS.
Skilled Worker Visa
The minimum salary threshold has increased significantly. Verify your offer letter meets the new floor before signing.
Common Mistakes We See
- Incomplete translation of supporting documents
- Bank statements with unexplained large deposits
- Gaps in travel history not addressed in the cover letter
