There are so many questions to ask?
1) when did we start international flight ?
Or is it that there are other international flight other than essential services flight?
2) How did the doctors board without valid visas
someone should please explain to me
Day by Day I get confuse.

Try travelling out through any of the Nigerian international airports. You will think there is an order to prevent anyone from escaping. It feels like jail break. From one post to the other, different Law Enforcement Agencies querying your itinerary and motive.

Of course, they will.

They are telling you the health of their citizens are more important than the health of your uncles and aunties in Nigeria.

Parasitism and extreme nationalism at its worst.

I don't think the UK will care though.

Post that link here.

Just a bit of education..visa waiver and visa on arrival are not the same thing.


Show me the link about UK visa waiver for Nigerians.




See, I don't have time to argue with you. Of course, I know that visa on arrival is different from visa waiver and I didn't say UK has started visa waiver for Nigerians. I said for doctors. During this COVID period, if you are a doctor from anywhere in the world and you have a job offer in the UK. You can travel to the UK without visa. They started it during this COVID period because UK visa office in Nigeria and many other places are closed because of the pandemic. That's why they put that in place so that doctors who want to travel to UK to resume job can do that. Hopefully, when UK get across to NIS on this issue, it will make headline. Au revoir

Nothing like that in UK.

Try something sensible toddler.

They all had letters from the UK Home Office and the UK also sent a jet to convey them. It's part of the Covid strategy as countries (uk, usa etc )are looking for doctors. The UK high commission visa section is currently closed thus the government made this arrangement though Nigerian government countered it. A set of over 100 doctors left for USA about two weeks ago .Air peace conveyed them to Lome, Togo (Ethiopian airline's mini west african hub). From Lome they all boarded an Ethiopian airlines flight to USA. Nigerian government had to pull this move else there will be no more doctors left here lol .

I saw a UK link on twitter asking for doctors from poor countries to come to the NHS right in the midst of a global pandemic.

I blasted them heavily and asked them to train their own doctors.

Morals and humanity disappears in the face of poverty and these UK and even the US parasites are preying on that fact to deprive poor countries of their own doctors.

Story.

No visas hence no travel.

These governments aren't gangsters

Everything is systematic and documented.

Should they need them desperately, they would provide adequate paperwork.

I think you are mixing it up with the free visa extensions for NHS staff. There's currently no visa waivers for doctors to travel to the UK.
Even British Nationals stuck outside the UK with expired or no passports have to wait for the VACs in their locations to open to enable them submit their passport applications.

The Uk did not start any visa waiver for doctors wishing to travel to the UK to work, there is nothing like that.

Show me that link to support your false claim.

The UK only gave foreign doctors working in the UK an automatic visa extension without paying for visa fees and ILR to health care families who lost their loved ones working for NHS during this period

This is misleading, there is nothing like visa on arrival system between Nigeria and the UK, they can't board a flight without a valid visa.

The pandemic is a new frontier for everyone.
The concept of visa waiver that existed between UK and some countries has been extended to intending essential workers from from other countries. These people most likely hold the initial visa vignette which must have expired due to lock down.
The fact is you can get an electronic visa waiver to enable you pick up your BRP if your initial vignette is expired. This is granted on a case by case basis.

Nigeria does not have any 'visa on arrival' pact with UK. I wonder what silly statement you would have made if they went and were turned back by UK immigration.
