shemy: What is the maximum physical cash to travel with? Also, what is the best way to open an account in UK or have enough money in your local bank and gp with the ATM card?

You can carry as much as £10,000 into the UK, put it in your hand luggage with bank statement. Never give a penny to those thieves at the Nigerian airport, you maybe asked at the point of entry to the UK, just declare it and you will be allowed to go.

Change it to £20 or £50 pounds note to reduce the size.

After your registration your school will give you a letter to open bank account, some schools invite banks to the school during the orientation so that students can open bank account easily.

Using your bank card from Nigeria to withdraw money in the UK is expensive because you be charged each time you withdraw money.

There is no limit to what you can travel with as long as its in your debit card. And as for opening account in the UK, if you travel-in during your school's orientation week, you'd be properly guided.

Morning everyone,
I thought i read somewhere on this forum working hours has been reduced to 10hours during term time?

Atlantis85: Morning everyone,

That depends on the duration of your course, the level of the course and the type of accreditation your Institution has with the UKBA..(justwise confirm(?)
Also, if you read the earlier part of this thread you'll get the answer to that...or just read the Tier 4 Policy Guidance!!

I heard every applicant who got an sms or email on friday or saturday,31st and 1st, confirming them to pick up their passport were held up @ ikeja vfs office. The population queue for collection is choking.. Confirmed source has it that BCH requested the whole package to be sent back to Abuja. So if you one of those who got an sms or last friday or saturday, pls check with VFS for further information.. No one knows the main reason for the call back but according to a VFS staff, he claimed it was a technical fault.. Pls if you have more info about dis.. Pls share. Thanks

Very many thanks to Justwise, he allowed me freedom on this thread and then Special mention to ell77. The part 1 of this thread was it for me. It just motivated me to go get the Tier 4 pdfs and read them and that was it. I can now take a well deserved break from this thread. Special hailing to all the Tier4 crew here, Dharkchild, Salsera, Richeyy, Adebee,Cavenchy, Kolawoye,dolz,Penfold, and all dilligents followers and readers of this thread. I love you all and God bless us all.

How's everyone doing on here, i knw i've been off a while but settling in isn't quite easy, well thanks to God i'm almost set for studies here in the uk. @Justwise I think your nairaland name should be Just-Great. S/O to all who've recently got their visas and all my other folks helping out with advice.

Hello. Please a friend seeks a sample of consent letter to show that his dad is financing his living cost. Please does anyone have a sample that he or she used and worked? If yes so I can drop his email here for it to be forwarded.

Also, what does one do with Section 6.4 of the Self Assesment form, for those who have already paid their course fees in full.

Prompt answers would be highly appreciated.

There isn't a particular format, His dad should know what to write, just address the letter to The British High Commission stating the acknowledgement of His Decision to finance his son's living cost and any fees left to be paid. The son on his own part should also include the birth certificate showing the relationship between him and his father with the bank statement and oanda conversion rates.
*Its always better for parents to pay the equivalent funds for living costs(or slightly higher due to flunctuating exchange rates) into the students account especially if the student in question is an adult, as this strengthens the application.

for section 6.4; Tick (X) the box.

There'r loads of jackets in clothing shops here...but u might wanna wear one for the cold though..I remember seeing someone shivering on the plane even with the blanket she was given..Summer is gradually fading and it's getting proper cold these days...so do the maths.

Dear friends,

Is it possible to send another document after submitting my application. As some of you know, the bank statement I have submitted is not of the exact format, but I should get an original one in few days. Thanks
