Thanks so much everyone for your response

Please how do I extend my stay after getting there?

Do I need to submit any document? Or I just need to extend my flight ticket?

Is it extending your 6months visa? If so, you can't get extension in the UK, u have to come back and reapply for either 2,5 or 10years Visa which you can't stay in the UK for more than 6months.

But if is your return ticket, you can extend it through the airline or the agent that booked it for you.

When applying for this, what visa am I suppose to put for the TB test.

Check TB test centers close to you, their is IOM in Ikeja Lagos, saint Nicholas hospital in island. Their are approved hospitals in Abuja too and IOM in Benin. The visa is UK dependant Visa or UK visa I have forgotten. But I did mine at saint Nicholas hospital.

But the disadvantage of saint Nicholas hospital is that their results takes 24hours to come out but others you have to collect it immediately.

AyodejiGREAT:
Baba, please can I connect with you outside the forum?

I'm about beginning my own dependant application and I'll need some vital information.

Your email or WhatsApp number will be appreciated for further communication.

I really know the information you need but dependant Visa is one of the easiest application.

Documents needed are:

1: Birth certificate or declaration of age certificate from NPC.
2: Marriage Certificate
3: A proof that your marriage is genuine and subsisting. Here you need pictures or you and your spouse together both old and new, WhatsApp chats, Facebook chats, bank transactions, tenancy agreement of you people are paying rent together but is not a must.
4: Your spouse Cos number
5: Your spouse address in the UK, if maintenance is ticked in the Cos and is less than 3months, you can put the address in the Cos as your spouse address.
6: Police clearance certificate (you can get this in police headquarters in your state or you can apply online and book your biometrics)
7: TB test
8: If maintenance was not ticked in your spouse Cos and is more than 3months, you need to present a statement of account with £1,270 or more.

Congratulations.

I think this thing is just luck sometimes.

Some people here do say all the traveling expenses should not exceed 50% of your salary/balance

Here, you're spending more than 60% of your account balance, and you're granted.

He is going to write exams and is likely PLAB2 test. And he must have shown all the evidences. In his case it doesn't necessarily need to be 50% salary spending.

chidirobert:
Good evening guys please am currently applying for my UK dependent visa I have uploaded all documents except one which is my wife’s residence permit,hope it’s ok if I go with it to my biometrics?pls am worried about it someone please help me

We're are you doing your biometric? If is TLS office Lagos no wahala, you will just pay around 27k and they will upload it for you. But if is Enugu and Ph, you have to do it yourself because they don't have the facility to upload documents. TLS don't have physical offices in those locations, they are using hotels for their biometrics.

thundegemini88:
I am currently in this similar situation. How did you solve it? Can you pls chat me up pls 08034667398

It will dropped either today or by closing of business tomorrow.

Thegamingorca:
Who send una to pick Flexi appointment? Pick free appointment two to three weeks from now.



Meanwhile, I can only imagine what VI ppl would be paying for booking

VI, Enugu and port Harcourt is paying 246k

sihamey:
This is what am getting including courier services

This is serious, everything have added money oooo, the last time my wife did hers, total was 99k.

sihamey:
Please are we to pay for appointment at TLS Lagos ?
Trying to book appointment and i am seeing 99k for TLS ikeja appointment
i thought is free
what am i not doing right
meanwhile, is self service

The thing with TLS is that free appointment sometimes takes two weeks or more. So keep looking for free bookings, you may be lucky. Meanwhile the 99k is inclusive DHL delivery service.

woffie:
Good evening pls I want some clarification. someone in UK was telling my cousin that applicant who's COS (care job) issued before the 11th deadline can still bring in dependant..Note : Main applicant is yet to make application till now but he's claiming the main applicant can still bring dependant because the COS was issued before 11th deadline ....

Is a very fat lie ooooo, run for your life. Any application that was done before 11th can bring dependant that is if the visa was granted. But any application from 11th march under care route will not be able to bring dependant.

billyfranc:

giselle237:
I hope you would pay for the person when they are prevented from boarding in 2024? Your wife travelled through which route?

If they need transit, it will be boldly written. Even waka now too will tell you.

Thegamingorca:
What airline did she board?

KLM

AlphaLady:
Good morning,

Please how much is visa application fee ( standard).

6 months £115
Standard Visitor visa for academics £200 12 months
2 years £400 6 months per visit
5 year long-term Standard Visitor visa £771 6 months per visit
10 year long-term Standard Visitor visa £963 6 months per visit

giselle237:
Incorrect. This has changed since for Nigerian and 3rd country passport holders. To cross the Schenghen area whether you leave the plane or not, you require Airport transit visa or provide a Japanese, Canadian or American visa or passports etc

https://www.esteri.it/en/servizi-consolari-e-visti/ingressosoggiornoinitalia/visto_ingresso/paesi_soggetti_visto_transito_aeroportuale/

You aren't correct. If you need transit visa, it will be boldly stated before booking the flight either online if via third party. My wife travelled through that same route to Manchester in February, we need provide any additional visa.

billyfranc:
Lol! I'm kinda immune to it.
I'm yet to book and I'm tempted to book now, hence the question.
What do you think of KLM or Airfrance with one connecting flight/layover? Must I have Schengen or transit visa to use them?

You don't need any visa once you aren't living the airport.

Ihangha123:
Thank you so much for the response. But considering the time it will take before getting the court documents and the 10 days that was given to my sister to get the additional documents.
Pease is there a way you can suggest that this court documents can be gotten within this shot time? Two days are already gone out of the 10 days.
Please here is my email: Sammy.adoga@yahoo.com I will really appreciate if you will send an email

Write to UKVI explaining to them the reason why the documents will not be available.

BuildingProject:
Those that applied since Feb has not been attended to, guess they paused all pending applications on standard.

Please say what you know, my niece did biometrics on 6th February and got her visa on 14th February.
She didn't even pay for priority service.

ifyobidiaso:
Good morning

I put an application for my mum on the 5th of March and she was told to pickup her passport today.

She took the passport and there was no visa and she dint get any refusal mail.

Please how do we go about it to see why she was refused and make another application.

Let your mum check her spam mail. The email must have dropped by now.

splendorian:
Unable to upload any documents yet

It might be network problem. Keep trying.

Saeed348:
I’m in a similar situation
Please how do I get the way bill number?
I have not recieved email from DHL

The waybill number is in the form they gave you during biometric at TLS office. The one steppled with the photocopy of your international passport.

NezzyMike:
We arrived at Cairo by 9pm, stamping of passport took almost 4 hours (till 1am).

We got to the hotel by 2am and was served a meal with dessert. I slept for 1hr plus and by 4am we were woken up to go to the airport. Abeg that journey is not for the weak, if you get money use Qatar.


But if you no get, use Egyptair and remember you'll pay for yellow card at the airport before your are checked in/board.

You can also reach out to Wakanow, ask them for dates that are cheaper if you want to use Egyptair or any other airline. Cairo stopover na di£ abeg

Please how much is the yellow card at the airport? My niece is traveling to Manchester on second week of April and she booked Egypt airline. Or should we get the yellow fever card at Asaba airport? Please I await your response. Thanks.

wondychiqe:
I really appreciate your reply cos I was a bit confused. So does this mean that support workers can still bring dependants or they are under the care worker route too?

They are under the same route. The only people eligible to bring dependant now are Heath car workers examples: nurses, doctors, lab scientist etc.

davodyguy:
ET messed up my luggage from Rome. They took it to Milan, then Addis Ababa, before returning to Lagos after 2 weeks

They are specialist in that but I was lucky when I used it from Manchester to Lagos. I still have a return ticket with them by may, I pray they don't misplace my luggage.

wondychiqe:
Please is care worker the same as support worker?

No they are not, although a bit similar.

davodyguy:
Air peace at ₦1.2m would appear cheap, but there's airlines for ₦1m

He can get Egypt airline cheaper, I think their fare on April 20th is around 887k although it may still go up.

Saeed348:
Please house, any recommendation for the cheapest airline to book for a flight from Nigeria to London/Manchester?

The cheapest airline is Egypt airline depending on the date you are booking. But the issue with Egypt airline is that from reviews I see online, the are specialists in misplacing people luggage. But never the less, every airline has its own wahala especially if is not a direct flight.

Azalea97:

I saw [b]D SKILLED worker MIGRANT o[/b]n the VISA he sent to me. The VISA seems genuine. He apply by himself at the UK embassy. He did not use any Agency because of fear of 419 or scam/ . Migrant means he has permanent stay. That is my understanding. I am currently in the USA. My understanding is that he needs to use the COS within 3 months.

Oga you aren't in the USA, I put it to you. We should stop forming what we aren't on social media. All visa has 3months validity stamped in the "vignette" and someone who claimed to have had a visa before talk more of being in the USA will not be asking such questions. I rest my case.

Samguine:
To clarify; the visa is for 3 months or the COS is for 3 months?

He is one of those that form what they aren't on social media. He is talking about the validity of visa if not used which is common in all visas. Someone who claimed to be outside the country should know this little information. But believe many people, they will be forming pouch on social media. But this one na something else.

Physicist:
Hello Good Nairalanders,

I am planning to buy a ticket for one of my siblings to start a healthcare job in the UK. I am currently not in Nigeria. A copy of the VISA he showed me showed a COS with duration of 3 months on the VISA.

Can I buy a one-way ticket for my sibling or should it be a return ticket? Thanks.

I doubt it you ever gotten a visa before talk more of travelling out of the country. Some people will just come to social media to display ignorance. Which UK visa is three months? Let me educate you, the three months you saw in the visa is the validity of the visa if she didn't use it for three months. I think you should do well and being real because anyone who have been issued a visa before talk more of travelling will know this simple thing in a visa. For health care, it will either be 3years or 5years depending on the offer of employment. Let's try to be real in this space so that people can advise you genuinely.
