Travelling With A Domestic Staff From Nigeria To Uk by AlorJulie(f): 1:03pm On Mar 18, 2021
Thank you all for the information sharing here.. Please I will like to know how I can succeed with traveling to the UK to study with my domestic staff who is 23 years old.

As a foreign citizen that is going to be staying more than 6 months, will that be a problem for me?
