Once you get to Seme border, there’re bikes there that will take you through alternative route. You can cross with 4K. I entered Cotonou on the 11th, I got into the UK yesterday.

Does this work the other way around? Coming into Nigeria?

Your date of application is the date you submit your application and pay your visa fee. Payment has to be made within some hours of submission otherwise, the application gets cancelled.

Thank you!

Guys,

For the purpose of UK application, what is the date of application, especially in respect to validity of bank statements. Is it the date of payment for the visa or the date of documentation at TLS?

oyin000000:
Good morning house. Please what's the average wait time for visas now?

Co-ask!

Its risky sister, very risky. See what happened in South Africa, they are now number 5 in the world with over 500k cases. Their cases took a significant surge after they opened schools and now they are closing schools again. Its not like this thing is only happening in Nigeria, its allover the world. 60% of countries still have schools closed, even the ones that have re opened closed again, e.g China with all their resources to ensure social distancing in schools, yet some schools closed again in June and July doe to surge of new cases, mind u China is almost free of the virus. A lot of countries in Asia who have successfully beaten the virus have opened schools but with strict measures and social distancing. I don't think Nigeria is ready to re open schools fully.

This is a highly ignorant take. Correlation is not causation!

Uspic:
i think the only reason it's reducing is because just a total of 1k was tested. if 3-4k is tested, the figures would still be about what we usually have (between 600 and 700)

While this is true, I disagree.

Limited testing means mostly people displaying symptoms are tested. So in Nigeria's case %tested is just an artifact, not a valid data point.

Hospitalisations with Covid is a better metric.

I think pictures together, forms a vital part of this application..........

Can I take pictures when I arrive in Nigeria? I will be spending quite a while there before I return. Will those be alright?

Hi everyone.

I and my girlfriend are planning to get married in a few weeks. I am hoping to bring her over to the UK on a Tier 2 Dependant Visa. I understand there are requirements to show proof of a genuine relationship. However, we have been dating long distance and I have not been able to see her for a year now.

These are the proposed documents I am providing to prove the relationship is genuine:
1. WhatsApp Chat script from January - September 2019
2. WhatsApp Screenshots, especially on special occasions
3. WhatsApp call logs, showing duration (very long calls)
4. Video call screenshots spanning February to September 2019
5. Transferwise statemtents showing money transferred to her over 9 months
6. Pctures on my next trip to Nigeria with both of us and with family
7. Support letter from my pastor and her friend
8. Photos of the birthdays surprise I planned for her, plus screengrabs of the planning of the surprise with her friends
9. Wedding invite, wedding photos, receipts for wedding supplies, cake, hall payment, e.t.c
10. Letter to the rental agancy to add her to our agreement once she arrives
11. Flight ticket to attend the wedding
12. Flight ticket to visit her in December (I fell ill and missed the flight)
13. Marriage certificate (from magistrate court)
14. Cover letter

I am adding all this documentation because we do not have pictures of ourselves toghether (long story). It has been a long dostance relationship from the start, but we have kept in constant communication.

Do I have averything I need?

mimilyrics:
A certificate from any of the courts in Nigeria can be used; it doesn't have to be Ikoyi.

Thanks!

Hi everyone.

Quick question.

Can I use a wedding certificate at a magistrate court to process a Tier 2 UK visa? Or is it compulsory to go to Ikoyi registry?

bennymine:


Asaba is fast but you might not have the option of getting the enhanced passport there. I don't think the type of passport matters except you want new technology and 10yrs validity.

Thanks. This was helpful

Hi everyone.

Please is advisable to renew international passports outside Lagos?

Someone I know needs to renew a passport either in Asaba or Enugu.

Would appreciate responses. Thanks.

seunlovingme:

Please I would like to know if the on going application is for old or new passport? I'm trying to apply by self online. Kindly help pls. It's urgent.

I can't confirm this. You might want to visit any of the passport offices first.

tunjity26:

please can you make enquire on how much is renewal

To be honest, I can't. Everything is confusing because of the new passports being issued.

Oasishavenng:
It seems booklet is now available

I was there yesterday at Ikoyi passport office. They have begun issuing the booklets.

justwise:


You don't need a new passport, your current one will do

I just sent an inquiry mail to the Home office and obtained a reply. I was told there is a "strong possibility" that my application would be rejected.

Hi everyone,

My international passport will be expiring in October this year and I am due to apply for a UK tier 2 visa at the end of this month. This means that my passport would have less than six months validity by the time I apply. Am I likely to be refused a visa because of this.

I have already begun processing a new passport but there are no booklets for now. Please what would you advise?

Any one that have experience the Nigerian security service would know what it means to get a statement from any suspect under their custody.

Disobeying court orders is one thing, torturing suspects to compel them to sign statements under duress is a serious human rights violations.

Someone would answer many questions at the Hague

The problem is that Nigeria is still a young democracy that does not understand the freedom of speech. Come to South Africa and listen to Julius Malema's speeches where he publicly critisises and insult the president and white people. Zuma was insulted many a times by pictorial writing and satiric artists but it understood along the lines of freedom of speech even when the ANC never liked it. In Nigeria such can never be the case despite calling itself democracy.

Although insulting the president of a country is wrong, it is nowhere as terrible as inciting violent secession, which is what Nnamdi Kanu has done. Kanu's misadventure is certainly not covered by free speech. He committed treason and sedition. He might even get the death penalty.

As a matter of fact after reading the submission by kayfra I fear for Kanu. He is dead meat and I'm sure that his lawyers realize this too. Their game plan was probably for him to skip bail and flee the country. Now with the fresh charges against him (which are not bailable, I think) he is unlikely to get respite from the court.

If I were him I would learn the 5 stanzas of the old and new national anthems to convince the DSS of my dedication to 1 Nigeria, in order to secure my release.

Agitating for self determination can never be tantamount to devide the unity of the state.

Of course it isn't.

However, Kanu not only threatened the unity of Nigeria, he also incited his listeners to attack northerners, pastors, politicians and public dignitaries who did not support his cause. He told them to attack security forces, to start a war if he was ever arrested by the Nigerian State. Nnamdi Kanu was foolish enough to be caught on video soliciting for arms to fight the country. There was even a youtube video that circulated early this year where he openly asked for money to buy arms.

Face the facts: Kayfra is spot on. Unless a political solution is sought by well-meaning Igbo Elders, Kanu will spend the rest of his life in jail.

The truth is.
We hunt down a deer.

So we give credit to the hunter not the hunting hound.
You are the hound.
Of course we will still feed the hound, but not with a steak.

StealthIdeals:
I was recently employed in a farm as an assistant manager. I studied animal production and health. The manager studied political science. Since the resumption at the farm, I direct all activities ranging from feed formulation in the feedmill, animal treatments and handling, biosecurity measure, arable farming etc. The management hold meetings with me alone concerning farm reports, feed managements, sales and anything that concerns the farm's progress. They specifically hired me 'cause animal farming is my field. Note that I'm an expert in animal production and health, agronomy, and agricultural economics. So, I see myself as the manager, cause the only thing the manager does is withdrawing money in the banks to procure farm inputs as a result of decisions reached by me and the management. The manager is using official car, but I'm using nothing. I have no problem with him using the car, but I see it as an insult on my person. Should I protest?

This is exactly what brought down Satan. Pride goes before a fall.

Be guided.

abelle036:

Hello spiritmode

Kindly resend your mail.

Go to God in prayer and thank Him for His mercies. You just dodged a bullet.

segxi1960:


I wish so too. Turns out I have been blocked on facebook too and her number isn't going through.

A few questions:
1. How long had you been seeing each other?

2. How serious was the relationship? Was it well defined with marriage in mind?

3.Have you met her family? How close are you to them?

Please tell me this is one sick joke!

FOLYKAZE:


That you find it hard to accept your praise Lord is an authoritative thief does not mean you should bark at justice.

These people are stealing your future and that of your unborn children. These people are taking whats belong to the nation as their personal properties. They become demi-gods so that your parents, yourself and children will be bounded in poverty slavery. How much is your father's salary? Is he not doing a hardwork? But how much does he earn in a month? How much does Diezene who doesnt do a job harder than your mom does earn? They steal and steal everything and all you are expected to do is to cowardly bark at justice.

Look at the country and ask yourself what is working. If your father develop a stroke, he will dies because the hospitals around does not have any facilities to handle stroke while Diezena will fly out on air ambulance to spain for treatment. If your mother travel from the north to south in a public or private car, she will developed body pains because the road is too bad but you can defend a theiving person who fly around like bird in chartered Jet with out common wealth. Do you know what the standard of education is in India? They steal your money are send their wom children abroad while you lavish in annually striking varsity with poor facilities. Your Granny pension is stolen, he/she is left to die like a rat beating by the rain. Your parents were paid peanuts for working HARD while the Oga you support steals largese of their sweat. Your entitlements and benefits were stolen and all you can do is to shout around like a dog that lost it bone because Diezene is from your tribe.

Sorry for the son of the meat seller who fight over bone and praise those that steal the big flesh. It is a shame tribalism and bigotry has beclouded you.

You have said everything I was going to say. God bless you.

He is very very correct

I've gotten jobs in two of Nigeria's most prestigious firms. I didn't include it on my resume.

It's unnecessary.
