I think so, fortunately water sector has not been deregulated but u can find out urself, chat dem up via live chat dey r very efficient.
Meanwhile I doubt water will be part of council tax sha but anyway it's scotland it could be different
There are different water companies around the UK so it will depend on his location. The supplier may be different from the one you stated.

Please what's the difference between TLS ikeja and Vi in terms of cost, processing time, etc. I'm currently processing my Tier 2 application and I intend using priority. A friend advised me to use VI although Ikeja is closer to me, his reasons were issues of touts at ikeja but i think i've come across some comments about extra costs at VI either in this thread or related threads. So I'd like to know the cost of biometrics at VI and Ikeja and anything else I need to know about both centres. Thanks.
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 2:11pm On Apr 18, 2018
The basic difference is extra cost. Ikeja is good if that's what ypu want. Didn't experience any incident over dre.

Good morning guys, good job you are doing here. Very informative thread I must say. Big ups to
You all.
Now to my question, a family of 3 is considering doing a priority visa because of time constraint, please does it mean that the priority visa fees will be in 3 places? i.e. £184 each?

Priority is now £212, and I'm not sure but I think the family will have £212 x 3

Whaooo, thanks for your response @sutelk, I think it’s advisable we make provision for £212 x 3 so that we are not caught unawares...this journey is not beans o
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 12:11pm On Apr 20, 2018
@yinkzy It will be an individual payment for each applicant made on the TLS website

May God enrich your purse.

Amen on your behalf! @yinkzy And make more provision oh coz this journey eh! Meanwhile why do people pay for priority? Is it not dashing those folks money ni? The application is already expensive
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Yinkzy03: 3:01pm On Apr 20, 2018
Thanks for wishing us well o, much aopreciated.
To answer your question, We don’t run a charity o, it’s circumstances surrounding when the COS would come out and when you are to resume. It’s gonna be too tight if we don’t do priority visa. We have tried waving this but it seems It’s our best bet.

Ok. All the best dear.
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 11:38pm On Apr 20, 2018
It is usually circumstances and timing dt brings about priority, everything is just expensive, meanwhile dre is an increment in visa fees again now dough quite small but significant for multiple applicant.

Don't worry the Lord is your muscle, u r almost at d finish line..
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by sutelk: 11:48am On Apr 21, 2018
Urgent advice needed please. Is there any difference between these sites https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa & https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome. I understand the latter is the old site which is gradually being phased out.
I started my Tier 2 application on the new site but someone told me the new site is for visiting visas for now and he wasn't sure if the new site can be used for Tier 2 applications yet.
To be on the safe side I opened an account on the old site and restarted my application, however, the old site has been giving me this error message since yesterday and I can't continue my application but my account on the new site isn't having such issues.
My question is; can I continue my application using the new site? Is it accepted for Tier 2 visas yet?
I intend using Ikeja.
Please response needed urgently, I wish to sort this out today.
Thanks.
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 11:45pm On Apr 21, 2018
Just go thru gov.uk and follow the link it directs you, immigration changes constantly so what happens for A may not necessation be for . Don't worry d fear of losing money is real grin grin.

I feel the first one will take u where you want dough and during d process u will still be redirected to some other pages for payment, Ihs and appointment confirmation.

Good luck

Very 1st tip......

- Perform a vehicle history check
- Very very important - Do an MOT history check
- Read user reviews online, prior to purchasing
- Once you decide the vehicle you want to buy, obtain an insurance quote prior to purchasing
- When conducting a test drive, test all buttons and pull all knobs
- Go on your knees and check underneath structure of the vehicle for rust or inconsistencies or get an extendable mirror
-Ensure you check the odometer reading against MOT history certificate
-Don't pay a deposit if you are not sure of purchase (your deposit is normally non-refundable (unless otherwise stated)

I don forget the rest for now.....
