Now That I Have A Uk Study Visa, What Do I Do Next? ?
« on: August 19, 2008, 02:41 PM »

After getting a uk study visa one can really get confused about issues such as how to take money to the uk, choosing an airline that will save you money etc. I've never travelled ouside naija Grin so my first question is; Which is the cheapest airline to the uk? All the veterans PLEASE HELP

Take Afriqiyah Airlines  from Lagos-via-Tripoli to London. Its the cheapest flight to UK.

As you land from the Afriqiyah plane at Gatwick Airport get ready for TOUGH questioning from Immigration Officers when you arrive. They can over-turn your student visa if you are not sharp and eloquent. Passengers arriving from Afriqiyah airlines are rated the least level of Nigerians as they normally produce the highest number of "Oluwole" passport/visa holders into UK

Cheapest and best do NOT usually go hand-in-hand. What are your plans when you get to the UK? I am assuming someone will be meeting you there. Be ready to answer all sorts of questions at the airport, since your passport will be blank. Good luck!

@ poster
british airways offer cheap rates for student travellers but they would need yo letter of aaceptance from the varsity and a photocopy of both yo visa page n data page of the int'l passport to do that. it's about 113K .the choice is yours

Congrats

You are only allowed a maximum of £3000 due to the money-laundering act, but I guess if you have to carry more than that, you need to declare it on the landing form that it is for your school fees and upkeep.
