Hi NL

I saw a news about the IHS and Visa increase.
Has this taken effect already?

The news I watched only shows what they are planning to do but no update on when it will happen

Does anyone have any information about this?

Thank you

Hello Nairaland fam!

For the people who picked St. Nicholas for their TB test.

My test is slated for 3pm during the week.
I want to ask, should I go there exactly around 3pm or I should go earlier than that? Maybe in the morning?

If I go earlier than my test time, will I be able to take the test?

Please what is your advice.

Thanks in anticipation 🙏

Hi please, does anyone have info on this?
Please!

Thank you🙏

You will have to choose from 17th of July before you can get time

Thank you, how can I do the 20k extra payment to get an earlier date?

Ralph117:
I was waiting for this 😅😅 question booked from 17 next month before you can see break down of time .

Omoooo! It's far ooo.

Will I get my result on the same day?

Please can I have your number so I can call you. I have some more questions to ask.

Thank you

Ralph117:
Yes I have, if you’re in haste you can go to Saint Nicholas they’ll attend to you ASAP but you’ll pay extra 20K.

Sorry for disturbing you. I have some more questions to ask.

How did you pick the date? I couldn't pick a date on their site. Or did they give you the date?

If it is the normal date, on an average, how long will I have to wait?

Thanks for your continuous response.

Ralph117:
Please I want to know if it’s compulsory For POF before issuance of CAS

I think it depends on the school.

Ralph117:
The university address you apply @ I also want to use Saint Nicholas

Great!! Have you booked an appointment, yet?

Superex:
same here, did mine today at Ikeja and collected my certificate

Please how did you book an appointment and how long did you take?

I cannot find the option to pick UK as my destination on their website.

Hello everyone.

Please I need urgent help.

I'm trying to book my TB test at St. Nicholas.

But they are asking for my Address in the UK.
Please what do I write there, I don't have an address yet.

Has anyone tried this, what did they put? Or should I put my school address.

Please I need urgent response. Thank you all

borie4u:
U finished within 5years so no study gap but nothing bad if u still throw in your reference letter from work to avoid nsf. Mind u reference letter is always on company letterhead which u attach to mail

Okay, thank you.

Would have loved to drop a reference letter but I'm not so sure I can pull that off.

Atunrayo:
Hi everyone. I have some questions.

I finished my B.Sc in 2019 and my NYSC in 2021, and I've been working since then.

Does that fall into the the study gap verification?
Will I have to show a reference letter from my work place along with my employment letter?

If I'm to show a reference letter, will it be on a letter head?

I'm worried that I may not be able to get anyone to write me a reference letter at work.

Thanks, I look forward to the responses.

Good morning everyone, I'll be glad if anyone can help with this please.

Thank you

Hello

The first page of this thread is best to start from

You can then ask questions if you are unsure of anything


Cheers

Thank you so much. It is well detailed.

I'm grateful

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to apply for my student visa and everything without an agent.

I've tried looking through the thread but I can't seem to find one that tells me everything I need to do.

I'll be very glad if anyone will help list what I need to do or point me to a link online or a thread that shows the proper steps to take.

Thank you all.

Hey guys... Please I've been trying all day to book an appointment via the IOM website for a TB test, but whenever I enter Nigeria as the departure country, UK doesn't come out in the list of Destination countries.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Hello house,
I have a question to ask please.

Is it only IOM that is accepted? I saw other hospitals there but it seems like it's only IOM everyone on this thread is using.

Is there any reason for that ?

Please I'll be glad to hear your responses. Thank you.

mimilyrics:
It can be paid by anolyone within or outside Nigeria.
Currency equivalent in $ will be debited.

Okay, thanks for the response.

mimilyrics:
I can't say what amount you'll pay if it's not in £ because how much you end up paying in $ or N depends on the exchange rate in play at the time you submit/make payment.

Cost in £:
1. Student visa fee (outside the UK): £363 https://www.gov.uk/student-visa
2. Application fee: Priority - £250 (you don't need this if it's a standard application- your £363 above covers your standard application processing) https://pos.tlscontact.com/los_en/added-value-services#fraud_alert
3. IHS - £705 for a year's course. https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/type
Total in pounds: £1,318 (Priority)
£1,068 (Standard)

Naira
1. Courier - N30,000 (from TLS site link in 2 above)
2. Tb test: 57,800 (subject to changes in ForEx) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-nigeria/tuberculosis-testing-in-nigeria

Total in Naira - N87,800


PS: you don't need an agent to process your visa since it's something that you can do by yourself.

Please o. I'm still asking o.

In what currency will these fees be paid?

and can someone outside the country pay on one's behalf?

Please o

Please house, I would like to ask, will all these fees be paid in Naira, pounds or USD?

Also, can someone else in the UK pay for me with their cards?

Please, kindly share insights.

Kassidy4luv:
Hello Greetings,

I'm going to NTU as well this September. The school will confirm your payment and issue CAS in less than 2 weeks.
My CAS got to me less than 24 hours after confirmation of payment.

All the best

Thank you for the reply.
I'll exercise more patient then.

Although did you send them any mail after you paid?
Or you just waited for them to reach out themselves?

Atunrayo:
Hi everyone,

Did anyone here apply to Nottingham Trent University for the September intake.
I have the following questions:

1. Did you pay through convera and how long did it take for the school to confirm your payment?
2. Please have you gotten your cas and how long after confirmation did it take.

I paid via convera and convera says the money has been sent to the school. However, ntu is yet to confirm my payment or reply my mail.

Please kindly provide answers if you have any. Thank you🙏

Please if you have answers to this, I'll be glad

[quote author=OsiEnterprise4 post=123390840][/quote]I did transfers since you can only transfer the amount that was transfered in.

harley4:
Thanks for your response.

Did you go to the bank to make the payment? I think with my debit card, I should be able to do it.

How long did it take to hear from the school?

I want to pay my deposit to university of Hertfordshire.

If you choose to pay with naira, you can use a visa card but the transaction will not go through. I even emailed convera to confirm.

So the next action was to pick a different currency either Euro, GBP or USD.
I picked USD because I had some USD in my account.

But if you pick it, it will prompt you to generate an instruction that you can either print and take to your bank or you can make the transfer from your mobile or online banking yourself.

I decided to go to the bank because I didn't wanna hear stories.

However, at the bank they'll tell you that since you're making a transfer, you can only transfer the money that was transfered in.

So when buying any foreign currency, tell the buyer to transfer to your account.

DO NOT DEPOSIT!
If you deposit, they will not be able to do the transaction because according to CBN inflow can only be transferred. Deposit can not be transfered.

Unless you transfer the money to another person using the same account after you deposit and then you transfer back.
Just save yourself the stress and make sure the money is transferred in from the beginning.

Convera got back to me within a day that they had processed the transaction. However, my school is yet to get back to me - they said confirmation takes days.

But if you get the success email, then you can be sure that they'll see your cash.

OsiEnterprise4:
What was the rate?

You'll have to buy the USD or the currency you're paying with then the to the bank .

However, 3k GBP was like 3808USD.

Please guys, I need your response.

I have paid with Convera.
My bank made the payment before the end of the day and it took Convera about a day to send the money to the school.
However, it will take a while to hear back from the school. But some schools generally advise to use Convera
