Dear House Bosses and Elders:


Please give me your thoughts and suggestions on this.

In Nigeria, I own an ICT company that has been in operation for 15 years.

In 2010, my company formed a partnership with a UK-based ICT firm, and we served as their Nigerian representative until early 2022, when the contract was terminated (the UK company moved into oil and gas).

We completed transactions totaling more than 600,000 GBP over the course of our 12-year partnership; all transactions, including international bank transfers, are documented.

This UK company arranged my first UK trip in 2013 for business meetings and training, and I have visited the UK more than 12 times since then for business meetings, training, and vacations.

Prior to moving to the UK with my family last year on a Tier 4 student visa, my wife the ( student), I was on my second two-year visit visa.

My company formed a new partnership with another UK-based ICT firm late last year.

Here's my question: is there any other type of visa I can or am qualified for besides the PSW (through wife Tier 4) and Tier 2 visas?

Please amiable senior nairalander, I need your input on this.

Please someone should kindly assist me with the requirements in applying for Schengen visa from the UK using Spain as the first point of entry?

@bigtt76, Thank you so much for your time. I will look at all the options mentioned so far, in particular the Global Tech Talent Visa.

bigtt76:
Entrepreneur visa appears to be close to what you should look at but you would need to have an investment of £50k on grand cheesy

Another option is the Global tech talent visa and company relocation visa (or something close to that)



Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by businessnow: 10:30am On Jan 19, 2023
@semmyk, I know you always come through, and I'll also contact the Bincom Dev Center; thank you, bro. 

semmyk:
Scanning through, you should, on face value, be a prime candidate for Global Talent Visa (Digital Technology)
- www.gov.uk/global-talent-digital-technology
Your solutions and/or products development in the last five years will be of importance though.
Alternatively, as last resort, explore the start-up visa route.
NB: this is totally different from scale up visa
NB: it is non renewable and doesn't count towards ILR
The Global Talent however counts towards ILR (3 or 5 yrs!!!) and you can even be an entrepreneur!!! (AKA self-employed)

You may want to engage the folks at Bincom. They are in the UK and 9ja. - https://blog.bincom.net/emigr8/
Incidentally, they just had an open session yester night.
https://mobile.twitter.com/BincomDevcenter/status/1615755685194498049
[Disclosure] I'm related to one of the founders.

[UPDATED]
Noticed Bigtt76 has already suggested Global Talent. Though still referred to as Global Tech talent visa, the current official reference is Global Talent Visa. You have the Digital Technology route (as suggested and applicable in your case). There are also the Academic/Researcher route (which I've posted on last year) and there's the Arts and Culture route (seemly not the option for you).
NB: the Entrepreneur visa route is closed to new applicant. However, you may want to explore the Innovator visa route (the successor to Entrepreneur visa)
So, if you've got £50k in the kitty, you're good to go for Innovator visa. You just need to come up with a biz idea and get endorsed.
PS: not sure. Alternatively , you might become a financial partner to your current UK collaborator as a full fledged Director in good standing.

Please I need connection. If anybody have any link with company to get Certificate of sponsorship should please share with me. I have done with my Msc program, January 2022 cohort. The bottom line is my visa will expires on 10th of march 2023. I had 15 years of experience in engineering maintenance from Nigeria. Zero experience in care job. All part time job I did during my study is around warehouse due to 20hrs restrictions. All the interview i attends so far is manufacturing companies and they refused to sponsor. they need somebody who has right to work in Uk.

Go for Graduate visa and if posssible take up a job even though there are not willing to sponsor. You will likely get a company to sponsor within the next 1 year. Try and target Engineering companies that sponsor.

Has anyone here been successful in buying a house with their student visa or dependent visa? With the amount I'm paying for rent, I think it's better to just buy a two bedroom apartment but I don't know how to go about it. If you have, the please help a brother out with some information.

For me Sha, I despise North Yorkshire / Middlesbrough smiley

Jobs are not easy to get but rent is relatively cheap. Your story may be different though as I am talking from the perspective of a student

This is just bandwagon effect.. the 6p/hr is even if one uses the minimum watt on the heater (400W or so), at 1200W, it shoots to 18p - 20p which is not so different from the average heater.

Any halogen heater can more or less do the same thing.

Open a Revolut account instead use this https://revolut.com/referral/temitaim40!JAN1-23-AR ...they are fast to approve you and you get your debit card within 5 days. Starling has too long a wait time.

With your Revolut, you can get inflows into the account and get you started while you work on opening a conventional bank account. for the conventional account I would suggest a Llyods' Bank Classic Account - less stress especially for new entrants into the UK.

When you settle down small, apply for your AMEX Credit Card with this https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/tEMItOhbvx?XL=MNANS ...don't be scared of credits though cos you will need to build your credit score while you are here ...e get why cheesy
