My passport has 6 months validity and I have a valid visa on it. Can I renew it b4 leaving Nigeria? I have not travelled to the UK with d visa but will like to renew it b4 travelling. Is it possible?
Yes, apply for 10year validity booklet if you're able to.

NIN is now mandatory...

Although I'm not an expert, I understand some banks don't process crypto related transactions...

Please help explain the electoral roll, what is it? I recently got a mail like that not opened yet. How important is it?
Why na. You dey fear bills?

Electoral roll basically is putting your name on the list of eligible voters in the council area.

It is also used by credit bureau to ascertain your 'stability' or how long you've lived at a particular address- more points on your file

Please I need some enlightenment regarding council tax.

I used to think it's paid as part of a household's utility bill. I'm being made to understand that its nice for each person to pay if husband n wife are both employed so that their immigration status can be interdependent on each other. Thus if one person gets frustrated with his job, their immigration status is retained/stable.

I don't seem to understand this
Can you clarify what you've been told...i don't think each person can pay separately....or perhaps they mean it's better to have both names on the council tax bill

I don't think it's a good idea to mention the name of the clinic, the location is enough info....especially as you've not really started.

Will also like to add, Manchester is very affordable they have many towns with good transport links to the centre.

TravelRe: Abike Dabiri Gives Update On Nigeria Visa & Passport by DisGuy(mod): 1:05pm On Feb 04, 2021
panpan:
I want to assume what Abike Dabiri meant is that it is Nigerians without a Nigerian passport who are required to pay for "visa on arrival".

A Nigerian passport holder with dual citizenship should not be asked to pay for "visa on arrival".
You'll only pay if your NG passport is expired, it's basically like paying for Emergency travel certificate, in this case in Nigeria

All the embassies are currently closed or operating with skeletal services and a huge backlog of people trying to renew their passports due to Covid19

Can't the surroundings be properly landscaped to improve the aesthetics...everything in this country is just upside down puah! ...spits on Buhari & Amaechi ofcourse not forgetting the OP that posted this rubbish
it's a port environment, this is the cargo side still under construction.

The passenger stations on the other hand should be properly landscaped- with well laid green lawns- would be highly disappointed if they don't keep it clean- Moniya for example is very dusty at present

At first, the trip seemed boring. Boring because I had a different expectation for the the country. So when I got there and it has the same structure or building style of European countries, I wasn't wowed. However, since I was there, I had to make the best out of the trip and enjoy it.

I wanted to go inside the UN office to explore, but when I asked, I was told that due to Covid-19, they no longer allow tourists into the premises. Of course, Covid-19 is a good reason for anything. Lol.

I shall took some pictures of the gate or surrounding should incase someone decides to visit or for your viewing pleasure.

A European country having a different style?

Thanks
Am looking at general living (getting a job in the uk)how easy it is to make money there compared to Canada. I want to do an msc in public health or adult nursing, also I am a married man with a kid
So I am really weighing my options. Or I should just channel my energy into immigration Canada
best bet is to ask for someone that has lived in both countries

Which state is easier to make money benue or taraba ?

I have a few questions if you have answers kindly respond.

1. Where do you suggest someone studying in University of Chester gets an accommodation.

2. Do you have an idea if I can get an accommodation at a cheaper rate </= £300 pcm?

3. Please what do I need to do before proceeding to apply for a job? (Like things to get done first - police certificate? NIN? etc? How do I go about it?) Call to apply for your National Insurance number, as per covid, they're very hard to get hold off with workers working from home etc

4. Do you know anyone that is studying or have studied in Chester? (last year September intake or before then)

5. Is it compulsory I leave London immediately after isolation to school to get my BRP? Can I wait a few days? No, if you have a place to stay and your course has not started yet. You might have to do some initial registration in school, no?

6. How do I buy a train/bus ticket from London to Chester. What do you suggest? Like most things, you can buy these online or download the relevant apps- e.g trainline for train tickets, national Express coach. I think the main coach company suspended service last lockdown, not sure if they are back on the road. Tip book your tickets a week or some days ahead for cheaper prices

7. How can one apply for a job? What sites can I view? (I know about indeed.co.uk)

8. How and where can I register my SIM card for NIMC? I was unable to get my NIN in Nigeria.
Nimc? You can get a sim in the shop or order one online. If nigerian sim, they released some locations for the UK but not heard anyone who has done this plus there's a lockdown


9. What network provider and bank account is best to use? (I have read about Monzo). IMO Most banks here are about the same in terms of offering and customer service monzo,starling are good quick starters same with mobile networks, they're pretty much on par esp the 'mainstream' ones

Thank you!
Good luck
