Please what documents did you carry with you on the day of your biometrics?

Since it’s a premium service, did they also assist you in uploading any documents?

For invitation letter, did you have to prove relationship to the person?

Did you have to upload soft copy of international passport too?

Thank you

1) Documents needed for Biometrics

- Print a copy of your TLS Appointment Confirmation mail
-Photocopy of your International Passport Data Page
-Print First page of your document check list

2) You have to upload all relevant documents before going to the Visa application centre. They won't assist you in uploading documents. This is only applicable to PH TLS Centre.

3) I'm going for a graduation ceremony, so I got letter of invitation from the school.

4) No, you don't have to upload soft copy of your international passport.


PS- PH TLS Centre is very organised. No stress at all

Thank you so much for responding.
I am a little bit confused about the checklist, do I need you fill and upload it myself also? Or I’m just going to print it and go with the first page there?

Oh and, did you upload a personal passport or it’s just the one they take at the centre?

I already scheduled an appointment with TLS contact Ikeja but realized I could do it earlier. Can I choose another date of biometrics. If yes, would I incur another charge?


Yes you can

No extra charge

That was what I did in my big sister's case. I wrote in the application that she is traveling together with her husband, and that her husband is the sole sponsor of the vacation trip. The only bank statement used was that of the husband.

Yes, you can use your husband's bank statement. Write in the additional information section that your husband will be the sole sponsor.

Thank you so much. One more question please, what did you put in the how much are you personally spending on the trip.

Hello everyone, please I’ll be grateful for some guidance. I am a little bit confused about the checklist document, do I need you fill and upload it myself also? Or I’m just going to print it and go with the first page there?

Also, do we upload a personal passport or it’s just the one they take at the centre?

Ps, I am using the PH TLS center.

You are not uploading any personal passport, the only passport you are uploading is your international passport.

The Checklist is not to be filled by you, it only give idea to the Visa application center concerning the essential documents that u have uploaded online or need to upload THROUGH THE ASSISTANCE of those working at Visa application center that is TLS center.

-Go with the checklist don't fill anything
-Go with your original International passport with a photocopy
-Go with your TLS email print out

You are good to go........

Okay, I’ll go with these. Thank you so much for answering. It’s just that I’m doing it on my own, so I’m trying to avoid any mistakes.

Please, one last question, after submitting all my documents online, there’s no need to take hard copies to the center right?

Wow you didn't even get a email notifying you that your application has being received and is awaiting consideration? Where did you do your biometrics?
Anyway just be positive as long as you didn't get refusal mail either. Remember to update us. Best wishes!

Good evening everyone,
I’ll like to ask a question and will be glad if i get a response

I’ve applied for uk visitation visa twice and i was denied twice in 2021

I’ll like to apply again but what’s changed from then till now is my mum is currently living and working in the uk ,she doesn’t have her BRP yet but she has the right to work and has also been paying taxes

Is it possible to declare her as my sponsor this time around and won’t it jeopardize her current status?

And it’s a family friend that will be giving me the invitation letter instead as well?

And can i also declare in the self introductory letter that my purpose of visit is to see my mum?

Recent experience at TLS Ikeja contact center for UK Visa

Hi all,

So I recently visited the TLS center at ikeja for my biometrics and I kid you not I spent about 20mins in total. It was a breeze in and out.

People no dey go Youkay again o. Lol. There was no crowd at all. As I got to the gate, under 2 minutes, they checked my appointment confirmation and let me in.
Then another lady checked all my docs, under 2 minutes again I was ushered into the main building. Spent about 10 mins on the queue where they checked my docs and gave me the black bag to proceed for biometrics.

At biometrics I spent another 7mins and I was done.

Now this takes me to my main question; If there's no crowd for visa, why can't people see close appointment dates? When I checked, the earliest datei saw was 10 days ahead.

Im wondering do they intentionally block out dates so one can pay for flexi (with flexi you pay about 90k to come on for any appointment at any time).

Because if no one is traveling people should be able to see close dates to book

I don’t think it makes any iota of sense for a family friend to write invitation letter and then you want to see your mother in same visa application. This just rings a lot of red flags… what exactly is your mother’s status in terms of residency? If she is out of status and awaiting an outcome on herself then again this is a wrong time for you to be applying .
Also with 2 previous refusals I would not dabble with 2 stories
