What's wrong with GTB plz? Paid my IHS successfully but when I was about paying for visa fee it declined. Please what could be d problem? Have tried the early hours of this morning and its d same thing. Plz who encountered this?

I did, you can't pay for ihs and visa fees with one gtb card in the same month. Because online transaction for gtbank is maximum $1000 in a month. so I had to use the card of a friend I could trust. That's your only option.

I can't remember being asked any questions at departure. At arrival, the immigration officer only asked my purpose of visit, looked at the passport and asked for my course of study. I answered and she stamped my passport, that was it. I actually forgot to hold a copy of my CAS and I saw a lot of Chinese students with their own printouts. This made me a bit apprehensive that I will be asked and I might be delayed as I'll have to retrieve it from my laptop, but I wasnt even asked for it.

Thanks for the swift response.

Left Nigeria on the morning of the 4th of September using Etihad airline. Major snag was that I intended to buy PTA using Travelex at the airport. Plan was to do an online transfer but realized they only collect cash. Tried to withdraw some cash from the ATMs at the airport but none was working. I had to send someone out of the airport to help with the withdrawal but had to call the person to come back when I was about to miss my flight. So summarized story, couldn't exchange enough money and therefore short on spending money until I fix a way to transfer my money in.
Had a stopover at Abu Dhabi and arrived Edinburgh at about 7.40am of September 5. Had to use a cab to get to the school as there was no Student union pickups and I had 3 Bags so using a bus would have been hectic as I'll have had to use 2 connections. Before I forget, withdrew 10 pounds at an airport ATM, exchange rate was 593 Naira to the pounds plus an extra N252 charge . That was crazy.
Anyway, got to the school, went to the main reception. Got my accommodation sorted. Had a quick bath and took a needed nap.

Nice 1 @yababoy
plz what are the questions you were asked from departure here and at the point of entry as well as documents they asked for.And also which of the banks atm card charged you this high so that we all can learn.thanks

Onyi04:
Pls,how do I pay for priority visa?
Will I have to request for it at the embassy and make the payment there too?
Anyone going to Aston University?

you can pay at the embassy.

How much is 250gb

Did my interview today. Fingers crossed, hopping for the best.

mcstar:
Finally picked up my visa today. So grateful and relieved. It's a beautiful September!

Congratulations

ayla1:
I am sincerely happy for everyone who has gotten hid/her visa and I pray that all the awaitings* will come here to share their good news soon!

However, I am a bit depressed that I won't be able to travel this September as I wasn't able to save the required 28days maintenance deposit due to this crazy forex palaver. This means the TB test is a waste and my half-tuition fee scholarship will be forfeited. I am not happy!

(sorry for the nagging, guys).

Eyah so sorry

Conversion only comes to play when you're uploading funds from your naira visa or mastercard, i.e converting from naira to dollar, and the rate is determined by your bank. When you transfer to your dorm, you get the exact value of transfer in dollars since your dorm account is in dollars

Oh tanks man for all the explanation. Just wanted to know what am about getting into. Thanks

lordkay10:

Not sure, but I think it's about $4.95 or so I saw the last time I did. It may be higher for bigger transfers but the charges does not exceed a certain maximum transfer charge which I can't remember

Thanks for the swift reply.Woow 4.95 quite high and please what's the conversation rate. Is it cbn rate or atm/online rate they use for the dollar conversation to ones dom account. Thanks

lordkay10:

Just go to www.skrill.com to sign up.
The rates can be seen on their fees section, usually, you're charged 1.9% of the amount you want to upload as admin fee and 1% when you transfer to other skrill accounts, not so sure, you can check the website
The verification is instantaneous, just check your account immediately, you will see the deduction

How Much will i be charged when i transfer to my dorm account since it is 1% to other skrill account. Thanks

lordkay10:

Link your debit card (VISA or Mastercard) to your account. Verify the card by confirming a deduction that would be made thereafter. Once you've verifified the card, just click on UPLOAD and your skrill account will be funded with any amount you wish to add

how do i open the skrills account from nigeria before linking.what are the rates. I have a usd dom account already. How long does the verification takes? Tanks]

Try any other bank. i just typed out my experience with first bank.

it dosent cost anything for someone to walk into a bank and ask about pta. first hand info at the bank is still better than anything i can tell you here on this forum.

for everyone that agrees that to change naira at bdc is expensive, please just walk into any bank and ask for pta from the person handling fx transactions (Western union moneygram etc) cos some time the cc are not familiar with the process.

****SIDE NOTE
there are bdc that are licensed by banks, and thier exchange rates is always cheaper than northener.
My advice collect your pta, if the $4000 is not enough ask your bank for the list of there licensed bdcs to change the rest of your fees.

bottom line always ask the official authority/institutions than rely on information on news sites and blogs, all they want is traffic

Copy that

umarwy:


PTA is quite straight forward to get when your documents are complete, mine took Less than a week.

Documents
Copy visa page
Copy data page
Copy flight ticket
Still go with your International passport

I used first bank

With the recent ban on first bank from forex transactions is this still possible? If no, which other bank can we try. Thanks

zaty:
Finally, the long awaited decision mail has arrived.

Congratulations

WILLIAMS10:
Pls has anyone paid for visa and IHS recently. Although I'm convinced my IHS will cost$301(£225) but I keep hearing different visa fee; is it $446 or $521.

It's 446 I paid today

justwise:


The rate of the day you submitted and paid for the application and not the day you started applying

I submitted the application yesterday even paid for ihs .Anyway I have paid for the visa fees with another card and even my appointment date was still the same. And the application page still shows 25th. Thanks all the same.

icebot:


You will have to pay for the health surcharge again for the new application and request for refund for the initial payment made.

God forbid.Don't always reply people from asumptions or what you feel.This is a public forum for christ sake. As we speak i have completed the transaction and paid the visa fee.i have received confirmation mail as well as payment receipt.una fit give people heart attackoo.

icebot:


Bro, it's very likely that you may have to create a new visa application. Once you book an appointment and the visa fee is not paid within 3 hours, you may not able to proceed with that visa application.

Money for health surcharge has being collected
