So we've arrived the UK and are now in our Airbnb we've booked for a month.
Flight was the smoothest I've ever been on (BA), connection in Terminal 5 was a breeze, and the Border Control officer asked us nothing at all, just stamped each passport, took fingerprints and sent us on our way, only document presented was the locator form.

No Covid test was asked or even hinted at in Lagos, just carry money with you for the massively increased bribes that will be demanded at the Lagos airport by the shakedown specialists in uniform.

Thank you. Do you know how long it takes for them to process the request or is it Instant?
ebunstic:
For Form A, use Wema Bank. School Fees was paid next day on two occasions.

For PTA or BTA, you can use Travelex BDC. They are both at the arrival and departure wings of the MM International airport. They use the CBN approved rates but you must have a return ticket.

Thank you.

Please I was informed I have to state the name of the school I'll be attending on the TB form for the test. Please how true is this? Because I'm hoping to get an offer from another school soon which I may consider.

Hello guys,

I need your advise with regards to my WAEC certificate. I included a copy of it in my application for a MSc program. The problem is the certificate only captures my surname and first name only while all other docs captures my full name. Would this be a problem after applying for visa? Or do I just get an affidavit to back it up?
Regards

Goodevening guys

I finally arrived UK on 11th using BA, the journey was smooth too. I wasn't asked for Covid 19 test.

Please gurus I have a little challenge, I applied for Msc Accounting and Finance but getting here I am considering changing to Msc Professional Accounting because of 9 ACCA papers Exemptions after my Msc and with ACCA I have a higher chance of getting a job after I graduate.

The issue now is that I was advised by the school that changing to Msc Professional Accounting, I won't stand the chance of proceeding to PhD Which I also intend doing after my Masters.

I am so confused can I apply for another Msc after my Masters? Should I continue with my first Msc after which I go for the second..please advice.

Am tired too ooo...my plan was to proceed to PhD after Msc, but not being able to is really disturbing...on the other hand I still need the ACCA expemtion.
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by ebunstic(f): 5:14pm On Oct 13, 2020
Yes you must have booked a flight as your ticket is one of the documents that must be presented for PTA or BTA. You can only access the PTA not earlier than 2 weeks to your travel date. Not sure how or if they check but I believe they need tickets to have been fully paid for.

Thank you

Hoverboy27:
Please must u book flight to collect PTA? Can you just reserve it? Like some airlines will confirm a reservation for 48-72 hours till you complete payment. Are such tickets allowed? I don’t know if they actually go online to check if the ticket has been paid for.
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by ebunstic(f): 5:16pm On Oct 13, 2020
Not sure if you are referring to Form A processing or PTA/BTA.

In my experience with Wema bank, Form A was processed next day. We got telex copy next day.

PTA/BTA processed instantly.

Thank you

Very true. If after the TB certificate has been issued, and you changed your mind on the school, you will pay 8500 at the TB center to effect the changes. My own case is slightly different from yours, the school i applied to I haven’t gotten admission and I still proceeded to do the test with the school address now should in case the school disappoint I would have to pay to effect the changes that was the information I got from a staff.

Doesn't seem the school named matters. My Tier 4 sponsor is a different school than the one on my TB certificate and got my visa

No you wouldn't need to effect any change on the certificate for that reason

494 to £1 for one transaction while the other was 496 to £1. In both instances we paid bank charges of about 15k.
