in an International flight?who dies that??

I am very conversant with BA classes. BA Economy has 3 levels: Basic Economy with only hand luggage entitlement, Standard Economy with a hand luggage, a laptop bag and 2 checked in luggage, then Premium Economy which is Standard Economy plus more benefits.

U guys better call Turkish Airlines, they are as dodgy as hell! BA from ABJ to Heathrow is £620 return, cheaper

This might be a basic economy flight were you are only entitled to hand luggage oo

I will be traveling to tier 4 area, although I'm supposed to resume work as nhs staff... Will my flight be canceled or even if there is travel bann, will I be affected?

I'm on tier 2 visa

Your flight won't be cancelled cos of tier 4, unless the UK Govt bans flights or your airline has other logistics issues. If you are using Heathrow, that airport is already tier 4 and flights can't be rerouted to other airports. Also, travelling in tier 4 for work is an exception from the tier 4 restrictions.

BA allows change of date or cancellation for a voucher. However, I believe you should not be worried about POE. I have someone, on visitor visa, coming in tomorrow (23rd) with BA through Heathrow. Ask me tomorrow evening for update on their experience. Just make sure you complete your Passenger Locator Form

Does the decision mail shows something like "Your status has been approved" or "Sorry, bla bla bla"

NO, it is just a mail to say a decision has been reached on your application. That's about it. The decision could be an approval or rejection which you wouldn't know until you get your passport. You just have to hope for the best.

A friend came on Saturday Dec 19th .... no issues. It understandable that plans were already made before this suddenly last minute restriction

Although she said if she hadn't bought her ticket she probably would have cancelled the trip

Ok, thanks but the latest tier 4 was introduced just after 4pm on Dec 19th to take effect from midnight. This is the reason I'm particularly keen on arrivals from Dec 20.

Ok sir. But I plan to do test to release after 5days so I can leave quarantine on time because I need to quickly come back to my place of work. Just want to use my visa before it expires in March.

If you would be in tier 4, you are pretty much stuck at home even after 'Test to Release' after 5 days. If not in tier 4, that means you are prepared to do private Covid test twice in the UK. You need one which test date and result date fall within 120 hours (5 days) prior to your departure from the UK back to Nig. The one you plan to do after 5 days would expire by the date you plan to leave back to Nig.

Pls ignore this. For some reason in my head I thought u wanted to come for 10 days

The first part is so true. I flew Airfrance on Sunday and I know how they stressed and delayed me in the name of trying to confirm if visitor visa's are allowed into the U.K




Hi, u mean you flew Airfrance into the UK on Sunday being today (after PM's latest broadcast)? At Heathrow, what tier did you say you were going into from the airport pls? Was it at Heathrow POE they stressed you or at Nigeria Airport while they enquired if UK visitor visas were allowed into the country? I have someone due in on Tues on a Visitor visa, reason why I ask.

100% correct, I know 3 people (2 ladies and 1 guy) who have gotten their leave to remain in the UK with work permit through baby born to a British citizen.

And they were overstayers as visitors as at the time of granted leave?

hahahaha, you truly don't understand how it works. the those who gets it aren't magicians either but got it within 6 months.
if you think spouse visa is the best route, have a rethink because recent laws passed by Congress was designed to frustrate applicant efforts.
am not here to post what am not sure about, for clearity sake you can email me let me contact you to more than 5 guys that got it under 6 months.
coming back home can be diecy. meanwhile if the lady accept to come along and with prayers , he may be granted especially as there is child in-between.

Congress? We don't have Congress in the UK o. Congress is US. We have parliament.

The person inviting me sent me their passport page as supporting document however it’s a picture of the passport. The full details and the numbers at the bottom are visible but very little bit of the corners didnt enter the photo and I really don’t want to disturb them again. Can I use it like that?

Anyone willing to invite you should be willing to see the application through. Although the passport no showing, the ID of your sponsor can be traced but it's best to have the passport scanned properly as an official doc.

Hi fam,

Please for the 14days quarantine, can one use a family or friends house as his location for quarantine? And must the 14 days isolation be strictly adhered to...asking for a friend who has an exam to write within that 14days

Definitely yes, u can use family or friend's house and you will definitely be asked this at POE. Adhering to it is a requirement but advisory cos there is no real way of policing it

I spoke with BA call center agent yesterday, and she claimed that it is now required. I think within, 120hours before travel date.
You can call to confirm yourself: 08002222557

This can be confusing to some. I just picked family member from the airport who arrived from Lagos on BA flight. No covid test was done neither was it asked for.

Okay. But I mean can I make just 6days flight booking just to use the visa and come back so I will self isolate for the 6days then return to Nigeria.

Official gov.uk information suggests if you are coming to the UK for less than 14 days, then you would have to isolate for all of your stay in the UK. However be prepared to face tougher scrutiny at the POE as to why you wanna come and lock yourself in for all of your stay.

Good afternoon,

Please for those traveling to the UK soon, is there any requirement to do covid test?

I am travelling with BA and there is no requirement for this. However, I have heard people say they were asked at the airport. Please anyone with information on this?

Family member boarded successfully the BA flight from Lagos to London tonight and no mention of Covid test at the airport. At the security, after checking in bags, they were given a form each to fill their local addresses in Nig, I presume for contact tracing.

Pls help !!!

I believe each applicant requires their own priority payment, otherwise only the applicant that paid for priority would have that service. I have a friend that applied for his wife and child for a spouse visa but he paid for priority service for each of the 2 applicants. I dont know if this is same for Tier 2.
