worry 359: Emergency travel document is the way to procede.
You should then pay for your flight home.

Do not just turn yourself in to UKBA and expect British tax payers to pay your bill.
You Will get ban but YOU DID OVERSTAY.
Then take up new job.

Thank you for the advice. How long those it take to process ETC? If I turn myself in to UKBA I don't mind paying its more the sooner I get home the better. I know trying during this period will just be frustrating so hoping to start first week of the new year. Thank you again

Hello everyone, I have got a problem that is tearing me apart and would like answers to a couple of questions.
My name is demi a nigerian in the UK and I have overstayed my visa it expired december 2010 and my old nigerian passport also expired in june 2012.
My problem is that I have a job offer in nigeria that I have to take up before the end of febuary 2014, its a life changing offer so I need to get back to nigeria as soon as possible and won't mind getting a 10 year ban. My questions go like this;
1. Best and quickest option of getting home to nigeria.
2. can travel on my old passport.
3. Do I get an emergency travel certificate, how long and easy will it be?
4. What will it take to get an e-passport.
5. Should I just turn myself into the border agency and come clean?
Please if any other options are available please share. Thank you all.
