If coming over
is.it on visiting or work permit
will you have finished your sgudies before moving
are u moving with your would be husband


Good and bad

Good reason first
Marry first before you BOTH move down(distance not advisable)
You will need to be very submissive to your husband as in uk
it doesn't work the way naija work
your husband or b/friend can't give all those things you get now
you'ill both probably be earning almost same amount so you have to join funds
and plan together.
If you can both plan your funds then you're fine in u.k
if it mine money n i can't contribute then unhappiness n frustation creeps in.

Now that's another dimension

you stated relocating

What sort of visa are you coming over with

To answer your question to get a work permit now it's almost impossible as a lot of chnages has occurs.

If you had the work permit from naija that would have been the best sort of visa to relocate with.
I've heard that such visa has been suspended by british embassy at the moment.

Give more info and can give you more info.

This is the issue. We are coming over with general visit visa though our plan is for honeymoon after which we intend to relocate to UK ad stay there for a while.

If your husband has a good job in nigeria
i'ill advise not to relocate on visiting visa due to uk recession and not much jobs at
the moment.
When the highly skilled migrant visa is re-opened then you can apply for that
at least you guys won't be illegal immigrants.

If you decide to go for the options both of you are tginking about.
You will need God on ur sides n be prayer warriors for your young marriage not to crumble.

Just come over to visit n go back and enjoy your married life in nigeria jejeli,
