Hi everyone,
Has anyone traveled from Nigeria to Scotland recently after the quarantine hotel was introduced?

I know Nigeria is not on the red list but Scotland is asking all international arrivals to quarantine in the hotel.

Is true that if one arrives in an English airport have a layover and then proceed to Scotland on what will be a local flight you will be allowed to self isolate at home.

Please I need your inputs on this. Thanks

Dependent on what ?..spouse. tier 2, tier 4 student

However I think all dependant visa are allowed to work. On student thread I noticed there been a lot of errors on the visa been issued and some have no work allowed. In such cases after you arrive in the UK, you need to contact UKVI to correct it .

UKVI is collecting big money in visa fees yet issuing quite a number with errors, maybe covid and remote working is affecting quality control

Like I said previously, I will try it after many many people can confirm. Some people were actually successful' some didn't even get past British Airways- they should have checked before travelling. What's more worrying is that there's no official govt website with the information' just madam Abike's SM postings

Guys, how does this £12.5k UK tax allowance work,

e.g if i earn £30k per annum, before tax is £2,500 monthly, will I start earning this £2,500 monthly up to the £12.5k tax allowance before I start getting taxed which gives around £2000(20% of 30k) monthly?. I don't know if I am making sense or how does it work?.

In some way yes the £12.5k will be spread across 12 months from April to March each year..... so instead of trying to figure it all, you can just put your salary here and it would give you a guide on tax and take home

12500 /12 =1041.67 this will be your monthly allowance before tax so 30000/12 = 2500 - 1041.67=£1,458.33 (taxable allowance)this is the amount you will be taxed on
20% of £1,458=291.66 tax payable
Your ni should be about £204
Take home pay should be approx about ( 2,500-292-204)= £2,004 it could be less after pension deductions about 3%.
Hope this helps?

Good morning Dear Men and Brethren especially the Ancients on the thread:

How many years would you reckon is long enough in one location to make buying a house there sensible. I.e if you know you will spend 4 years in 1 place then move, would you buy a house for the 4 years or rent till you get to your ‘final bus stop’.

Advice me please. Thank you.

I will definitely buy even if i'm spending 3yrs in that place especially good location, you can always sale or rent it out then move.

If you get a good mortgage deal then go for it.

I choose rent (even though the money was there) when DH was stationed to do a 3 years training. ..... after 3 years I saw how prices had sky rocked and even the area was very rentable.

Looking back it would have been better to buy because after those 3 years if I had bought and later rented the place or sold, both I would never have lost value coupled with the 3 years I would have added to the equity pot than renting that went nowhere

However you must do your home work. Not all areas will be the same

Thank you Justwise. The problem is that I don’t know whether this part of Scotland is considered ‘good’. Before you buy and then to sell or rent becomes a problem. That’s the fear.
