Those Arab na don. They accep cash and non cash. Lawyer dey, accountant dey, dem go finish the work. No story.

They are crooks when it comes to biz
Wives are usually full time housewives - only one source of income but backed up by a closely knit Arab community.

They the ones living the ‘life’ with flashy cars.
They don’t think twice when breaking the law, knowing they got a solid community behind ‘em

Why do think people do cash in hand jobs? Or Why do think the African shops ask for cash?
That transaction never happened.

He doesn’t know ‘warrisgoinon’ , even after being advised, e still dey doubt am.
I’m yet to see any Arab accept non cash for their transactions - not saying there are none, but e hard.
Those guys are beating the system on a steady

Just carry bags and come over!

Hello guys. I realised that. Most students in the uk cant do side hustles like fiverr, upwork and freelancing or uber because its against the visa rule. Why is this so?

And how can the visa guys tell that you are doing freelancing work?.

‘Why is this so?’ Because of the highlighted. Visa rule says 20hour/week

Thru your tax n NI remittances.

If you have a gig or someone willing to pay you by cash (like most Arabs), then you are covered.

They now make entry as easy as possible and settlement as difficult as possible. The statistics are there openly. More reason why a student should plan well and ready to maximize every tiny bit of loopholes opportunities still left by UKVI multitude of rules

For me I have crafted on paper, a 'decision tree' more complex than that tattooed on the fictional Michael Scofield when he is about to enter Fox River state penitentiary to save his brother.

Ani daamu

You sure your decision tree on paper aren’t puncturable by their policies and regulations?

But I don't have a UK bank account nor a dollar card that can be topped up by the BDC. My bank wanted to exchange 1100 bucks for 970 pound sterling cash an hour ago(30 sterlings short). Please how do you advice I go about it now

Take it, it’s not a bad exchange

LagosismyHome:
I am curious why is 1. = no if its a job within the care industry . The guideline says this is yes

1) If her husband applies for tier 2, will they still get the IHS refund?


harrrry

I understand you have to apply for the refund b4 changing from the eligible visa route to another

LagosismyHome:
Are people allowed to use Ghana must go as a travel bag/box?

Yep

GOOD NEWS!!

Morning all, CONGRATS to all visa holders, visa applicants and admitted students.
As for intending students and other watchers.
UK is in recession, they need every kobo, penny, dime etc they can get as FDI or FOREX.

Don’t panic, your visa will be issued, provided you dot your Is and cross your Ts.

Good afternoon gurus.
A family of five came in December 2021. His wife is a PhD student, and her husband has been doing care jobs for the past six months. They are about to apply for an IHS refund for a family of five.

The care home wants to give her husband CoS, which will change his Visa to tier 2.

They are worried because of other information from people, and I decided to hear from our experienced brothers and sisters here.

1) If her husband applies for tier 2, will they still get the IHS refund?
2) Is it advisable he continues with the dependant Visa till they get all the refunds?

Get your refund first b4 applying for another visa route. So, technically,
1. No
2. Yes

10 years ke... Say 5

I ve given you examples with dates and you still saying 5years? Okay o

MyVILLAGEpeople:
I know they were in the game 2 to 3 years before that time. But those years they didn’t blow up like they did in 2006 upwards to 2011. Even tho Dbanj and Psquare were dropping songs, but the likes of Remedies, Danfo Drivers, Marvellous Benji were holding down the industry those aforementioned years. Dbanj blew up with Why me in 2006, while Psquare blew up big time with Do Me in 2007. That’s what I’m driving at.

No need to argue since ‘blow up’ is subjective

MyVILLAGEpeople:
These guys once held down the Nigerian music industry back in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Their careers started nosediving from 2012. Notwithstanding they were awesome and shaped the music industry into what it is today.

For those you mentioned, they ve held it down before then like 3 to 4 years b4 2006.
2004 was when Dbanj’s/Don J’s first single ‘Tongolo’ was banging and also P Square’s first single ‘Senorita’ 2002.
Now, if you decide to go a decade earlier when Remedies (Idrees, Tony T and Eddie), Maintain (Olu and Tolu), Tony Tetuila, Plantashun Boiz etc then you would be spot on about when the seed was planted.

He mentioned you don’t need TV if you are not a regular income earner….

Orishirisi on this forum

Na real orisirisi.
What then is the essence of the thread if one can’t ask simple questions and share real life experiences?

justwise:
Really? So because you don't earn enough to pay BBC for watching other channels you should not have TV?

Folks like this are just too naive.
They can even pay tax on the air they breathe simply because they have regular income and it’s a damn amount.

I don’t know if they ever heard of the Aba women riot of 1922.
Should we all naively have said those successful women traders don’t have regular source of income when they protested against some ‘damn’ taxes back then?

Nonsense and Putin’s nuclear threat

Goke7:
If you're working and earning a regular income, a TV licence is not a big deal, why give yourself unnecessary stress about what to watch when you can just pay for the damn thing and watch what you want on any device any day or time. It doesn't worth all the long conversations here. You can either pay £159 at once or you pay monthly. Additionally, you can use the license for other things like proof of address. And if you don't earn a regular income or you're not buoyant enough to pay for the license, why have a TV in the first place?

Finally, in these days of online entertainment and sports, there's no way you will not watch an online live event for which a TV licence is also needed. Get a TV licence and enjoy yourself to the fullest, simple.

Since you are working and earning a regular income and also know that one can pay monthly or annually, I might have to direct the bill to your address.
Please quote me with your address so I can do that ASAP and be a Good Samaritan to those of us who don’t have regular income.

Mamatukwas:
It was alright. I invited the man in, he came in, spent 2 minutes and I haven’t received a letter since. 4 years and counting. I renew my exemption every 2 years online .

I’m guessing there was no TV or was there any?

justwise:
Many years ago i was moving in to a new place with a friend, they visited just as we are moving things including TV and asked if we have TV licence we said no that we don't watch live tv them left, few months late we received the usual letter and my friend panicked and wanted us to pay(He was an illegal immigrants but i don't know at that time) , i knew very little about tv licence issue then as i was about 6months old student.

We started paying £10 a month even as i hardly watch tv let a lone live one because i work night and study day. Then i tuned in to a late night talkSports radio program one night and their was an hour long discussion on tv licence, i got educated and the rest is history.

Hmmmm.
These ones are threatening to get a search warrant to come and turn the house upside down in search of TV; meanwhile, I just arranged 1 conspicuous cinema screen.

One mind is saying “pay” , another is saying “don’t pay, nothing go sup”

Good evening House.

To my Glasgow people, please where can I get Free Household items; mattress, wardrobe, microwave.

In your search for freebies, beware of bugs, rashes-infested mattresses and all.
You know these pipo can kiss/curdle/sleep with anything animal in the name of being animal friendly but forgetting that zoonoses no dey look human face.

LagosismyHome:
Although this was many years ago, way over 10 years ... I opened the door not knowing who it was and the man said he was TV licence blab blab. I said ok I am coming, just a moment. I shut the door and went to sleep...lol. he stood outside for ages and then left

Then I got married to man who feels he must uphold the law of the land so he pays . I don't know what they currently do now when they come

Lol, you get mind o.

Those people with their threats - albeit empty, no be here maaan

Ayowolebami:
Make awoof no go run man pikin belle ni o bro

I understand fully well my brother

I’m just curious to know this.

Has anyone ever had a visit by this TV license people despite these their numerous threats? And what was it like, if any?

Preshyi:
Well, I get his point tho. I know a classmate that was offered sponsorship but not under the health and care Visa. From her calculation, she will pay almost 4k per person for visa application and IHS for 3 years. And this is a family of 4. Total calculation for the whole family to switch to tier 2 is about 16k which is ridiculous. So getting a health and care Visa makes switching to tier 2 easier.

Yes, I know but you need to look at PSW as a whole including the length and cost from year 1 to year10 that you would expend to get an ILR; whereas your tier 2 switching via non-care job already sets you on a short route.

Anyways, to each, his own. It’s a race with different end goal in sight

Preshyi:
To add to this. We wouldn't need to pay almost 2k per person just for PSW when we can switch directly to Tier 2.

Absolutely! what I was driving at with my earlier comment

MichaelUde:
Depending on the number of years the COS covers, PSW is not more expensive than a non health and care Skilled Worker visa.
The standard 3-year Tier 2 visa application fee from inside the UK is £720 per person, plus £624 IHS per year per person.
The 2 year PSW is £700 per person, plus £624 IHS per person.

No real difference. Na the people wey dey the health and care dey "enjoy", no IHS and cheaper application fee.

Which would you rather do, the 5 year route to ILR or the 10 year route?

In addition to the financial implications of PSW, the length of time is another factor to consider - the reasons for the statement “PSW isn’t cheap…..”
