Yes, I believe the term is "forward ticket", the important thing for them is that you have a valid proof that you plan to leave their country for them, lol.

TheGuyFromHR:


Hopefully the wife in the hypothetical situation would avoid taking an MPH which is another degree beloved of Nigerians that could be as unproductive as a MSc HR or an MBA.

LagosismyHome:


A couple should always work together and should be a standby for each other until you cross the finish line.....

In this case , its very easy he quickly switches to be on her dependant visa.

LagosismyHome:



My wife just moved to the uk last month via student route.

We got married after she already applied for visa application,so there was no information about being married or coming with a dependent.

I later got information I could join her as dependent with our marriage certificate.

I have booked an appointment for my tuberculosis test.

Can I still go ahead with the dependant visa application?

When is the POF expect to be in the account as I was told I could get it done with a certain percentage of the expected fee.
Days before submitting application on after?

And also is it advisable to apply now with the restrictions of visa processing and flights?

Egocen:
Please does this mean
you do masters for two years
apply for PSW for two years

then get a job with sponsorship for tier 2 or leave UK

Thanks

umarwy:

Plenty people here live in Scotland. State what you need help with.

You cant enter on a visiting visa.
Only citizens and residents allowed at the moment.

Hello, when do you plan on leaving?

I am looking at Turkey, Dubai and Cotonou routes at the moment as it appears Ghana is undergoing some ment

I have checked the turkey evisa website and there is a need for a return ticket - from the response you got some pages back, does it mean I can book a ticket to the UK and it will count as a return ticket of sorts?

I sent you a PM

careerwoman:


Okay
Thank you.
We await Dec 20 review.

However, the circular didn’t say the travel restrictions were based on country of citizenship.
I think there might be a loophole to explore:
“Holders of valid visit visas are not allowed to enter from a red list country”.

If a traveler of red list country citizenship is coming from a green list country with foreign predeparture test and all, why should they be refused entry at the border?
Just wondering if anyone has explored this or thinking to explore this before the Dec 20 review.

hustla:


Hello

I have always had one funny scenario in my head

Lets assume that someone (M) comes into the UK on a 2 yr student visa and then luckily gets Sponsorship immediately after school

He then brings his wife into the UK who studies maybe nursing / MPH when she enters. His wife also finishes after 1 yr and gets her own sponsorship

If the husband, due to some issues later loses his job with the sponsorship, is there any way his wife can help?

mizGene:


I agree with you, but I think it isn't a loophole per se..I think it is straight forward.
Visit visa holders from other countries are still entering the UK, visa holders from redlist who transit moree than the required 10days from non redlist shd still be allowed in. I guess we may never find out until someone who has done it declares (which will be rare because very few visit visa holders will have a desperate need to get into the UK) Would be interesting to know if someone has done this....

careerwoman:


True. “Loophole” makes it sound illegal meanwhile it isn’t.
It is necessary for one to understand and apply the grammar used in these policy guidelines.
I really hope the Dec 20 review is favourable otherwise I might have to travel from elsewhere for my important trip.

LagosismyHome:


10 years just means "have stayed in the UK legally for 10 consecutive years then you qualify. The key word is legally and consecutively ..... so student visa is a legal stay so is any dependant visa, spouse visa , PSW and the working visas. All that can be combined to make up the 10 years . ...... so even young people who do A level and read up to PHD level and then PSW can make up their 10 years that way .

Visiting visa is what doesn't count as that not a stay visa but a visit visa and also entering UK through a boat illegally or any other illegal way of entering and staying .

Even if you tried to travel through green list country it will not work because your visa was issued in Nigeria

careerwoman:


I don’t think the issuing country is a problem according to the circular. The visa doesn’t even state where it was issued.
If the visa is valid then it should be permissible.
Anyways, I think the best thing would be to confirm from them first before going on my trip.

Issuing country is the major prob here, if you live in Ghana or Cameron as a Nigerian and got your visa there you will be allowed to enter the UK without restriction. Even if its not written on the visa they still know where the application was made and other details . Look at the exemptions to see if your purpose of coming to the UK fails under that

Aprokodaughter:


Did you read before posting the link? Where did they state PSW is part of the 10years?

ybahrbz91:
@Mamatukwas, thank you for your response. Most of the discussions here are always about England, that was why i asked.

I plan moving to Glasgow next year and I would like to know few things about the city

The accommodation cost
The cost of living
The weather
Any other important things.

Thank you.

Just so you know, even visiting visa counts towards the 10year route to ILR

omo I beg to differ. Colleagues’ parents and family tried this thing when India and Pakistan was on the list. I was just watching film. The problem is the VIRUS from the ‘red list’ not the visa. They do not want anyone from a red list country coming here. As long as you technically wipe your red list history by coming from a non red list nation, you will scale. Seen so many examples of this.

Bmuhd4smile:
Please house, Does 6month full time course in the UK( MSc) qualifies for the 2 years post study visa aswel.

Fourcade:


So a uk student Visa issued in Nigeria can be used to travel from Cameroon. Cameroon isn't on the red list. Maybe a favorable option.

How will you do that holding visiting visa? Travel to non-red list country then from there buy another ticket to the UK? When you land at Heathrow with Nigerian passport what happens?
