Thank you for your response but would it make any difference if I've taken the vaccine before. Because I took it about two years ago at my state and was given a card as proof but not the yellow card. Thank you
Carry the card go with yourself then.

I heard you can't travel until after 10 days of getting the card. How true is this pls?
Hmmm, oga, incase you don't have the card and you're traveling soon, just rush to the airport to get it done ASAP. Also tell them ur travel date.

Nice one. I booked national express before coming too last year. Just like yesterday, me and family waiting for our first bus with our travelling bags (including Ghana must go) at Heathrow cheesy grin

I was checking time every minute when I saw the long queue at UK border angry
Lol. Did you catch the bus? And how has life been.

Hi boss, please how can I get the yellow fever card and the cost. I'm flying with Egypt air next week. Thanks
I got it for 6k at the airport in Abuja. Try to Google and ask around before you travel. Or be at the airport like 5 hours before your trip.

how did it go?
I arrived safely. No drama or scare on the plane.

There was an hour delay from Abuja but we still arrived Cairo and London on time for me to board a national express bus I booked before traveling.

How far the palm oil? Did it survive 72hrs trip?
Yes it did oo. I packed it in bottle water container (half filled), refrigerated it overnight till it's frozen, then put them in a polytene and wrap with sellotape. In summary, the oil made here without any spill.

They didn't allow me to board till I got a yellow fever vaccine card.

If anyone plans to book Egypt air from Nigeria, make sure you have that card.

Also during our stop in Cairo, we waited for about 4 hours before were taken to the hotel paid for by the airline. Some Egypt air staff even told us no accommodation for us till we started opening eyes for them.

Plan to have fun, for long layovers (not sure of the duration) they will lodge you in a 5 star hotel in the city with good food. If you have time, you can tour. Just make sure you don't miss the bus conveying you back to the airport for your next flight.
This experience was with Egyptair? My flight is today in the afternoon. smiley

I want to book my flight and I am wondering if there would be any issues if I only did a single instead of a return. Would I encounter any issues at the Airport?

If you're going to school or are a student dependant you don't need return ticket.

This is the mail they send to me. The documents are not clear to me pls you guys should help

Send screenshots of your WhatsApp chats with you partner over a span of 1 year to date

Send a pdf containing pictures of your before wedding (dating), wedding, and after wedding pictures that you and your partners are together.

Proof of living in the same address can include your partners official document that shows the address and your own official document that shows your address.

The above together maybe easier and stronger than rushing to open a joint account.

Can anyone help with why my dependent wasn’t charged for IHS?
Is there anything I need to do?
Will it delay the application?
I was charged around 600 USD for IHS. I thought maybe I'm paying less because the MA's visa has only 1 year left. 3 days after my application, I got a mail asking for top up. I believe that delayed my application by a week. smiley

Please send a paid mail ASAP (it's even better if you do this before biometric)

You mean dependant visa?

Did you do the application yourself because you sound a bit unclear.

Please to the gurus in the house, how do I show evidence for the following in my application for 6 months visa

1. Evidence of funds avilable to you, and which are clearly accessible by you

2. Evidence of support you will recieve from your sponsor including details of what support is being provided and how

3. Evidence of the relationship, if any, between you and your sponsor

4. Evidence that your sponsor is not, or will not be, in breach of UK immigration laws at the time of your visit

1. your bank statement can serve. I usually use 2 months statement for UK visit visa. You can submit multiple statements from different accounts.

2. Is your sponsor providing any support (such as money to cover travel expenses? (You can have the sponsor write a letter specifying what and how much)

3. Is the sponsor your brother, sister etc or an employer? If it's your employer your job offer letter can serve. If it's family, maybe a letter from the person again explaining their relationship with you can serve.

4. If your sponsor is a business, a letter from the including their registration info in the UK. For family, another letter from the person including their BRP might serve.

Good luck.

Good morning guys, great work you’re doing here.
Please I want to visit UK with my spouse for tourism/vacation; can anyone assist me the requirements needed from both of us and how to go about the cost breakdown of our expenses because I’m the sponsor of the trip.
Moreso, is tuberculosis test compulsory for both of us as part of the requirement?
Thank you all in anticipation of your response.

You don't need TB test for a visitor visa (or any trip that won't require you spending over 6 months straight in the UK before leaving).

For your other questions, try to read the thread from start or something.

Hey guys.

I booked my via appointment at TLScontact on Friday for Monday but I’m yet to get a confirmation email of my appointment. What do I do pls?
It might be too late to email support. But if you have a payment receipt, maybe you can show that at the gate. You maybe can also try to log in to your dashboard on TLS to show them at the gate.
