babybenbaby: Just like someone responded tenancy agreement, utility bills which point to same address even if it doesn’t have both your names, pictures, flight trips together, hotel bookings and chats https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65face7f703c42001a58f065/Relationship+with+a+partner.pdf#page26
Move to page 26 of the official uk documentation for proving relationships. Ensure you gather as much documentation mentioned on the list. Try and label your pictures as well. I and my partner got 3 nsf emails until we broke each picture down. Under each pictures put captions and dates. Thanks a lot for this, though we uploaded our documents on Saturday night and went for our Biometrics yesterday. We uploaded as many relevant documents, pictures, chats as we could....didn't label/date the pictures though,. However, we put the pictures in a pdf file in a progressive order - dating, pre-wedding pics, wedding, 1st pregnancy, with first child, with 2nd pregnancy, with both kids, anniversary pics etc. Also included as many random pictures (not just the ones taken at photo studios) as we could. Fingers crossed 🤞 hoping for a positive feedback. |

Aminatola: I wanted to ask how did you apply for the job on indeed UK, jobs that give visa sponsorship for people outside UK. Have been trying to get that most job advert I saw require living in UK with a visa even if not work permit. Here's another good way to find a sponsorship job: https://findajob.dwp.gov.uk/search?q=Work+visa+sponsorship-jobs&loc=86383You can also type, " *your role* work visa sponsorship available" on Google and sort the date of results to the most recent. E.g "care worker work visa sponsorship available". It will pull out a number of sites that have openings you need. I have to reiterate though that patience and persistence are extremely important. |

Then please, can the frequent travelers in the group kindly help with these questions...
1. Is it that the popular "ghana must go bag" has been banned completely by FAAN or can they still be allowed (eg if they are wrapped)?
2. Are there direct flights from lagos to Luton/Stanstead? (Final destination is Cambridge and we are thinking of the shortest possible way to go since we have two toddler's below 5yrs of age).
Thanks in advance 🙏🏽 |

optimusprime2: If accommodation is sorted, then you will have no problems in Holland with 4K euros a month.
My main issue with Holland currently is the housing wahala especially in big cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague & Groningen (with special emphasis on Amsterdam).
There is a serious housing shortage in Holland currently and you are very likely to be affected since you have a family of 4. (The Dutch government has a housing requirement for families of more than 3) so in your case you need a bigger apartment, which will be where the wahala begins. If you were going there as a single person, the case would have been different though. However since you stated your employers got that covered, then you are ok.
Holland is a great country asides the housing crisis.
P.S The 30% Tax off will go a long way however whatever you do, do not get a car. Thank you so much for this. Yes the 30% off tax is one of the most amazing things about NL. It makes things so much better. Housing requirement? Hmm let me look that up. The employment coy says they would help find an accommodation, but it's still fingers crossed till we get there...hopefully we'll find something suitable.. we definitely hope to stay away from Amsterdam as we've been advised that apartments in the south of NL are more affordable. . About the car, why please? Because of the vehicle tax? We were thinking of getting something small for mobility..... Thanks once again |

Ayinke93: For him to be asking if 4k monthly is enough, it sounds like he already has a job there. I see no reason why he shouldn’t move if that’s the case. You can get your citizenship in 5 years in the Netherlands after coming in on work visa and you even get tax benefits for the first 5 years of your stay. People live there now and I don’t think it’s impossible for him to find accommodation on that income if he stays away from major cities at least. Yes, we got a job offer. |

tensazangetsu20: I would advise that you consider other options. Netherlands is having a severe housing crisis at the moment alongside an immigration crisis. This has created friction within the coalition party and they are calling for elections again. The government is even asking universities to limit the amount of international students being admitted as they won't have anywhere to stay. You can read all that up. They are also looking to revamp their post study laws so those who finish their studies go back to their country immediately after studies. Thanks a lot. I read about the resignation of their prime minister and the upcoming elections yesterday. Though, we aren't going for schooling....we got a job offer. Thanks again. Point noted about getting an accommodation too. Edited: I think the company offered to find an accommodation for us, I would have to check again with them to be sure. |
