Honestly , I think this someone needs help, serious help.

Someone who has been in the UK for sometime. Has gotten a tonne of experience, enough for them to apply for SKILLED VISA. Keyword: SKILLED. Someone who has gone through the rigours of health & care training, enough to work as an Expatriate in the UK. Someone who made job applications, attended interviews and found eligible for SKILLED worker visa.

Yet someone has to ask a friend to ask on a faceless forum for the link to apply for the visa?


I know that my position may vary with a lot of people here, but I honestly think that some people are not doing themselves any good.
If the question was about some technicalities of completing the visa form, I would say fair enough… but to not take 2 minutes of your own time to google uk visa application link? Imagine the circle. The CoS owner doesn’t know the link. The CoS owner had to ask you, and you too doesn’t know. And both of you couldn’t take 3 minutes to search online, but to come to Nairaland and ask the most rudimentary question?

You (we all) can do better.

He's not acting sanctimonious, your reply was rude, unhelpful and condescending to say the least.

The goal of asking questions here to learn from people that already toll the path, making it easy to avoid unnecessary mistakes.... And if you can't help a situation because you don't know you either wákà pass or you don't belong here in the first place.

Hundreds of direct helpful have been shared here without anyone sending us to a wild goose 🪿 chase on Google.

I type in peace ✌️

I do not agree. I met this thread as a safe space where no question is "silly". It has remained so and wont be changing now.

Pls ask your questions. The questioner does not get lost

The bolded however assumes that the COS was acquired on merit by said expatriate, and not by bank transfer lol

Abeg no vex.

I searched on Autotrader and CarGurus but got mine on Autotrader. The car dealership is close to where i live. Rang them up and went there. The sales man gave me the keys to test drive while holding on to my license. The car drives like a dream. All major checks were done. The price was £6,800 but i negotiated it down to £5,600. The negotiation took a long process but they finally accepted but the best they could do is give me 3 months warranty on the car.

Specs
1.2 litre engine
2015 model
21,232 Miles
2 keys
Full service History
MOT and Full service done for free

Just as Oga Lexus and some others advised, i paid half the amount with my brothers Credit card just for a little protection. While i transferred the other half to them.

Facebook too many scammers
Gumtree same thing
Ebay most cars i found on there were far away

Any questions abeg ask, thanks

No one says a question is ‘silly’.
My point is: A Briton working in Nigeria on a Work permit visa is an Expatriate.

A Nigerian working on a SKILLED visa in Britain is also an EXPATRIATE.

It says a lot that an EXPATRIATE Nigerian, on a SKILLED work permit (visa) to the UK is unable to do the most basic checks/research to know the link for visa application.

I tell you what (in my opinion, which I am entitled to) would have shown that this is an expat?

“Hi all, A friend got a skilled worker visa sponsorship and is in the process of visa application. Is www.uk.com/skilledworker the correct application link? Or are there any other correct links folks are aware of?”

In as much as there are no “silly” questions on this thread, We (ALL of us) should as much as possible discourage laziness and a penchant for being spoon-fed.

Hi everyone,
I just registered with Mashmallow Insurance with my UK provisional driver's license.

I indicated that I had driven for 13 years while back in Nigeria and made no claims before coming to the UK.

Now the vehicle insurance is requesting a "proof of your no-claims discount." How do I go about this?

Your kind advice is needed.

Thanks
