Yes I have gotten and I even booked BA for 381k to London (return).. departing on 24 of this month God's willing..
I saw 355k on there website without baggage, with baggage I paid 381k

m

Alright Congrats. I remember it was me and you that had refusal in January that our sponsorship letters were rejected. That’s why I asked if yours had come through now.

Okay not a bad price too. The 361k with baggage i saw was for 19th so maybe the date difference is the reason for the price difference.

You paid with a dollar card right?

inphoenix:
Woah! That's quite a huge difference, unfortunately, there is no way you can pay for a flight except with a dollar debit card or you find someone abroad to pay for you. The fares will keep rising especially as it nears your intended travel date.

Why return tho?

So unfortunate.

I want to collect basic travel allowance.

smocky:
Been in the same boat since yesterday

My dear, I’m still on this boat. That’s how I missed out on a cheap return ticket I found on their website for 312k

Fwaz:
Please is it from Abuja to London Heathrow?

Abuja to Manchester

Abuja to London i saw 361k for return


Fwaz have you gotten your visa?

inphoenix:
Only a dollar denominated bankcard will work because of the limit. Gtbank increased limit to $200 but still not sufficient.

Have you tried to book the BA flight through Wakanow? Don't know what dates you're looking at, but looks like it's pretty much the same fare at the moment.

I got 395k on the website for return ticket while the agent from wakanow told me 485k. So the website appears to be better if booking return

justwise:
Buy and pay with your Nigerian bank card, you will see selection of payment methods when you are about to check-out

Doesn’t the international limit on transactions in foreign currency apply here?

I tried using my gtbank card and it declined. Saying amount attempted exceeds my approved cumulative limit

Please, has anyone booked a British airways flight directly from the BA website, how did you pay? Help me pls, I need suggestions

Justwise pls help

utaraji:
Sorry bro.

Lol, thanks

utaraji:
Thanks. I paid about 400k plus BA to and fro.

Really, I thought BA is really cheap this period cos I’m seeing 312k for to and fro

Update:
Haay! I have been caught sleeping on a moving train! Hay! My gawd! Up until yesterday my flight to and fro to Manchester was 312k on ba website . This morning it has almost doubled!

mamacajah:
Well, it doesn't cost you anything, unless the money is no longer there
So I would say, take everything because you never know who you will meet during Entry Immigration checks.

You could take like 100 pounds... that would be fine as a minimum to get you to where you plan to quarantine
As long as you can prove that you have made proper plans, there shouldn't be any problems..
Please ensure you have checked and double checked that your documents are in order and properly kept in your hand luggage to show as and when required

My dear , even if the money is no longer there, just carry the bank statement you used for visa like that for them. As they want to be tensioning people for no reason

mamacajah:
That amount is quite small, please increase it..even for visit visa..it's still too small
besides hope you can show your money still in your account when you arrive UK
because a student was querried repeatedly on this today by UK immigration
so to avoid stories that touch..ensure you have done the needful

Lol, so if I am asked, what am I supposed to show? The bank statement I used to apply for visa? Or what now. Cos the query is quite weird tbh

Visa! Visa!! Visa!!!

My people Visa

[quote author=Olly10 post=94679769][/quote]Have you checked Stanbic? I heard Stanbic is giving with one way ticket

vick49:
Good evening House...

Can a decision be made without them sending mail that a decision has been made on application

UKVI said a decision has been made since yesterday but I haven’t gotten any mail on that and application is still with DMC....

It depends. When was your biometrics?

I noticed it’s only ukvi Pretoria that sends decision mail. Ukvi Sheffield doesn’t send

And I think ukvi Pretoria only started making decisions on our application on 7th sept

Skycharges:
I was d first to be dia...d man shock self dat he just sent d mails now....lolz

Skycharges:
Biometrics - 14th September (Standard)
Decision mail - 5th October
Collection - 6th October

VISA OUT!!!!

Thank you Jesus

Congrats. Finally.

covidia:
Someone on here mentioned this a few days back. She got a mail

Tier 4 visa? I thought it’s only visit visa that they attach the refusal to the decision mail

Doyinh:
Application transferred to vac this morning, I received decision mail yesterday morning. September 14 standard, VI TLS. September 14 people check your tracking, most likely has been transferred

Yeah, mine has changed too

Lawrence6:
Sept 14th ppl help me ooooo...no decision mail yet ooo

No be we fit help you brother. But don’t worry na, you will get tomorrow morning.

We that have gotten, we never collect passport. It has not even changed to application transferred to VAC. So we still dey the same level more or less. We will probably get passport same day with with you that did not receive today sef. So just calm down .

Laura123:

Laura123:
Thanks Segunwamiri, I’ll also try that method now. I appreciate

Note that this applies only if your campus is Warrington campus, if not you will find yourself hours away from school.

Laura123:
After I use the filter, I end up seeing nothing. My budget is 300-500pcm, furnished apartment, 1 bed flat or studio...all I'm seeing are shared accommodation or beyond my budget. Please kindly help if you can

Aww, there is a studio I actually saw sometime last week for 350.... it was surprisingly so cheap. But I think it has been taken coz I can’t see it again.

If I see anything again, I shall let you know. What’s the maximum distance from school you are looking at?

Iamslickp:
Pls what of Kenya Airways

I think quite a number of people have already told you it’s not required, why will my own answer make any difference.

Lol, I don’t know if it’s required sha. I only answered the one I knew

Focusephraim:

Have you checked spare room. There are a lot there. Use CH1

Ameey:
Has anyone travelled to UK recently via Ethiopian airline, was covid test required at any point?

No it wasn’t required

Fwaz:
For you to have gotten a Non straight forward mail after 2days of your biometrics is enough to tell your that your Visa was processed under priority.
Congrats

Nope! I don’t think that is enough.

One time I used standard, I got non straight forward mail the next day after biometrics.

If you had said getting decision mail on 18th was enough to know that the application was considered under priority... that would be more acceptable

bsafolabi:
Yesterday

When was your biometrics?

Lawrence6:
Lol it is 15 working days today actually...
Lool.

Lol, it’s not. You can’t include 14th sept.... you start from the next day to count
