Visa Alone No Longer Guarantees Entry - Uk Announces Travel Requirements by Kingzjayzee: 2:53am On Sep 05, 2023 |
The UK on Monday, September 4 announced that Nigerians and other citizens, except British and Irish nationals, wishing to enter the country must apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). The new rule becomes effective from November 15, 2023, and applies to everyone, including children. The new travel rule means that all visa applicants wishing to travel to the UK need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) card before they enter or transit through the country, The UK home office said persons who need the travel permit are those who were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK. Also listed for ETA are those on visits shorter than six months, business people, tourism, and those visiting family and friends. Applicants are required to apply online before booking any travel to the UK. Once granted, it will be valid for multiple journeys over two years or until the passport one is applying with expires. According to the UK Home Office, travellers with valid visas may not be allowed to board without a valid ETA, as the ETA is digitally linked to travellers’ passports. A statement from the UK office reads: “The UK travel requirements are changing. Except for British and Irish citizens, everyone, including children who enter or transit through the UK, will soon require permission before they travel. "This means that if you were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK, you will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), your stay must be shorter than six months and could include tourism or visiting family and friends, transit, business, and short term study. “You do not need to show a paper copy, but it may be helpful to prove the confirmation email for your own records while an ETA grants you permission to travel to the UK, it does not grant you entry. So, you would still need to go through passport control at the border to enter the UK. “Make sure you show the same passport you used to apply for your ETA and that your passport is valid for the whole of your stay." https://www.tori.ng/amp/246807/visa-alone-no-longer-guarantees-entry-uk-announces.html 6 Likes 4 Shares

This is one of the reasons I regret being born in this useless hellhole. Just see the measure one has to take just to run away from this zoo we call a country. For all those who continue to believe and support this failed system and those who run it, I continue to hope you all keep up in enjoying the suffering and wailing. Whereas they can stroll into Nigeria as easy as dick slides into a condom. The black man is cursed we just don't know yet. I have said it before and I'll say it again, Nigeria is irredeemable with the set of politicians in charge, present and future. Argue with your keyboard. Feels good to be back from my self inflicted ban, to the mod that gave me 3 days ban, here I am 3 months after, joke is on you, I come here for fun and actually do my part very well. 73 Likes 8 Shares |

UK's Home Office is feeling funky because hundreds of people are moving to the UK; this year is the last opportunity they have before the kingdom ends the era of bringing in dependants through study route. Two things are at play here - it's either the UK doesn't want foreigners in their country anymore or they aren't aware that these stupid immigration policies will reduce the number of people visiting or coming to their country to further their education. 6 Likes |

UK is overrated and very poor. They always sit down and think of her to reap others to have funds to run their nations. Yeye people. There is nothing spectacular about them if we must be honest with ourselves. Abegi!!! 11 Likes |
