1. Check all in. Note the weight though. Pots should be heavy.
2. Dairy products not allowed
3. No

Vecharry:
1. Is travelling with pots, spoons, knives allowed

3. Does qatar airways require transit visa

4. Can anyone list airport procedures step by step for first timers

Ok

Chysunshine1:
Not all as mine was in Dubai

You have to quarantine for 10 days. You are allowed to move freely from day 11 (When all results return negative). Make your trip to school's city/county to pick up.

Guessing those within the city or on campus may conduct theirs differently

ericpetters:

Thank you so much for the quick reply. Please, if I quarantine in another state and can't get my BRP within 7 days of arrival at the post office, hope no problem?

You are right.

Interesting to see visit has been moved outside Nigeria.

Babababy:


DMC for Nigeria's three renters in VI,iKEJA and ABUJA have usually been in Sheffield,croydon and Liverpool depending on the type of visa you are applying for. I think the volume of applications this period and also covid has pushed quite a number to Pretoria.

You may print for your comfort but really, as mentioned in previous response, the TLS staff that receives your documents is able to view your application type.

Kenny4smart:


Thank you, but how exactly? From the application form itself or I should print the priority service receipt as evidence?

An TLS staff mentioned student visa applications (at least from VI) are being accessed by Pretoria. When I received my BRP (British resident permit) collection letter it was signed by Pretoria.

In essence Pretoria is making all the decisions.

Commissions in Nigeria affix the vignette and print the letters. (This last bit is my assumption. Easier to rationalize for super-priority)

Yemzzyy:

I don’t get what you mean in the last part

Pretoria has been processing a high volume of student applications from Nigeria, this much one sees from the BRP letter.

Yemzzyy:


I think all non straightforward emails come from Pretoria, cos that’s where o got mine from as well

No particular timeline from what I read here.

Do not hope it to existence. Be positive.

lasunakin:
Please. How many days after biometrics (priority) do people usually get non straightforward mail?

1. Yes. However, have a valid explanation incase immigration enquires. No biggie

2. You need an accommodation to order your test kits and passenger locator form. Don't think you will clear Nigerian airports without it.

ericpetters:
Please someone that has travelled should help me with these
1) can I quarantine in another state
2) would there be a problem with immigration if I don't book my accomodation before I get there?
Pl help

THE PAIN!!

justwise:


Imagine spending all the money involved in visa application then you decided to tell a silly lie and get refused or denied entry?

Nothing wrong with stating YES if you have the answers to those questions with the exception of No 7. No officer will penalize you for stating you do not discuss your relative's income.

Please note she mentioned the person is LEGAL. Its a different case if the person isn't and you really do not have the answers.

People have been denied visas for variations in responses from previous applications. There are applications ahead.

Punkydude:



I advise you in the name of God, dont. I said i knew my blood sister, the interviewer asked:

1. What is her name,
2. How old is she.
3.When did she come to the UK.
4.What type of VISA is she on.
5. What does she do for a living.
6. Where does she work.
7. How much does she earn

i just tire

My dear, just book and AirBnB close to the school and provide the receipts. No question will come from there.

Update on Dante Labs - My experience - Family of 5

Day 2 test- Results in just over 24hrs. No result for 1 child as I write
Day 5 test (my spouse only) - Posted 9am yesterday. Been tracking on Royal mail - STILL IN TRANSIT.

My advise is if you need to take test to release (day 5), book a walk -in center.

fificole:
I did. Booked day 2,8 and Test to release (day 5) with them

Delivered just before selected time slot.

No. I have not left Nigeria yet so cannot attest to turnaround for test results

Hi Justwise,

Had to check for a post-arrival thread moderated by you. Family and friends have been helpful but this community comes with a lot of learnings/insights.

justwise:


You need more than a change to survive in Portsmouth, its not really a cheap city to live in, i was unable to get a job for a while i was there though it was recession then but you will be able to get student job.

Come with money that will last you for at least 3months while you settle down and get a job

Awesome how you put a lid on this by giving clarity.

Vecharry:
I guess this settles issues around day 2 and 8 tests.

LOOOLLLLL

How are you? Thanks for checking in.

This process is 'consuming' and this 10 day lockdown does not help especially when you travel with teens you need to keep engaged coupled with still working remotely.

Good thing classes do not start until the 27th. Hoping to be fully settled by then.

Thanks again!

fetomowo:
@fificole @dumebi @ariyike and @tosinkate I don miss una for here o...

E be like the other side dey sweet? .

I think those paying for university accommodation should insist on having theirs done. It is being paid to the school, there should be no grounds for refusal.

I will still scout around. May just find a bank that will. I may also reach reach out to the council for some form of paperwork showing authenticity of my rent invoice.

Will write to CBN too.

leggyb:


Ah! This country people. They would always find a way to make a mess of a functional policy. Form A that we are managing.....mtsss

My cousin did use form A from UBA (whenever they had funds) but he said this application for September rent was rejected. The bank said it was an updated policy because many were round tripping funds through landlords/letting agents.

I have searched online for CBN or any banks report on this claim but nothing.......

Will call the banks I intend using then give a feedback.

Proppie:
Hi,

I heard that not all banks will give an individual FORM A to make any payments other than Tuition fees..
Please, how true is this?, and what banks wil allow one use FORM A to make other payments?

The results I have were downloaded from the NCDC site.

The Lab needs to register your information with state and federal to get that bar code. Most labs do that.

emmynent:
nawa oo...some hospitals result no get barcode FAA.
Thanks for the info. Na to look for the hospital with barcode.

@wunmi38

Your point being my experience at the international airport is fabricated?

That article was on the 11th of August and this same comment was contested and deleted from his page.

Guessing attached were computer generated........

[quote author=wunmi38 post=105304702][/quote]

I will say yes.

The barcode was scanned and details confirmed.

emmynent:
thank you for this tips. please the covid test, is it a must that the result must have a bar code.

A guy ahead of us checked his in and still used a smaller one as hand luggage.

Virgin Atlantic.

Unaware that was put in place. Should not have generalized then.

Lets read up baggage policies.

ijeshaprincess:


Please double check the Ghana must go because several Airlines put out a notice 2 years ago that they would not check-in Ghana must go.
Also someone asked about Kilishii the other time, Kilishi is meat and since the time of mad cow disease,the UK and other developed nations do not allow passengers to bring meat and dairy product(baby food is exempt). Processed Snails allowed though.

Hi,

Endeavor to arrive at the airport early if using Lagos.

- The check-in process is manual and crazy slow
- Boarding passes handwritten, luggage belt not working, suitcases everywhere.
- Payment for any suitcase containing food stuffs is 2,000 and you are issued an official receipt by customs.
- Having printed copies of your passenger locator forms and negative covid test helps move the queue along , if not, it is advisable to have a screenshot saved rather than trying to open your email (an S.O.S)
- You show these documents even at the boarding gate
- Complete Nigeria and UK address behind departure card (the one given alongside boarding pass)

Safe trip.

1) Is wrapping of Luggage allowed in MMA Lagos and how much is it ? - Yes. Did not wrap so not sure.

2) Is Ghana must go ( the grey type) allowed? - Yes it is

3) Can one travel with electronics e.g TV set? - Yes. Must be checked in. However, why not buy from facebook market place/gumtree. (Except you are making a delivery). It counts as one luggage.

DoubleN:
For those who have travelled or who have first hand info.

1) Is wrapping of Luggage allowed in MMA Lagos and how much is it ?

2) Is Ghana must go ( the grey type) allowed?

3) Can one travel with electronics e.g TV set?

4) Has anyone travelled with Emirates Airlines?

Please assist.

Thanks.

I did. Booked day 2,8 and Test to release (day 5) with them

Delivered just before selected time slot.

No. I have not left Nigeria yet so cannot attest to turnaround for test results

olabode1e:
Hi, who has used Dante Labs for day 2 and day 8 testing. Is it a good choice? planning to use it

- From parent/sponsor naira account to child/ward's account abroad
- From your naira account to your account abroad.

Accurate documents must be presented. Max amount is $10,000 or its equivalent monthly.

Note: There must be an invoice for accommodation either from the school/letting agent.

Experience4u:

Can the accommodation money be sent using Form A directly to the student if you are the one sponsoring the student ?

Instructions yes, which states 28 days.

The question is so you further clarify to the person asking why it is 'safer' to print on those days you advised. The tone of his/her message was one of urgency.

Pascalsmith:



Just Adhere to the instructions

Please note I already responded to the requester stating 15th or 16th.

My question, 'Why?' is further clarification on why the insistence on not the 28th day.

Lastly, the table is convenient but will not be accurate for a leap year.

Amarathripple0:


��‍♀️

Why?

Pascalsmith:



Please don’t do it …. Rather print your statement on the 29th day fill your application 29day as well then walk in on the 30th day

Banks will accept it with an email indemnity in place. It is standard practice.

loffers:


I doubt if banks will accept scanned copies of form A.
If you have friends that works in the Bank, sign like 2 extra copies of form A and give your friend before you travel.
forward other copies to your friend via mail when you want to make additional payment for school fees.

September 15th/16th (28/29 days)

teewaik:
Please for POf with start count date of 18th of August, when is it advisable i print out my statement(I intend printing and submitting my application same day).Thanks

Extra luggage is per suitcase not per kg. With limit allowed

Oversized bags have a different fee and limit.

Hard copies for all.

R.

Preshyi:
1.Please how much does extra luggage cost via BA? I have checked online and seen some figures but I am not sure if it is per kg or per 23kg bag.
2. For those that have travelled already, do I need to print out any document or are the soft copies enough?

This is the case unfortunately.

I suggest your friend takes this request to one of the newly licensed banks. Who knows....

boommer:
Hello all, please i need help. A friend of mine is trying to pay tuition deposit but the bank (union bank, keystone) said they only process payment for BSC or Masters and not foundation. Please what can she do?
