I’m not sure you can pay with a Nigerian Card. I paid with a gtbank dollar card and this is what I got. I’m not sure they accept Nigerian cards. I’m just confused.

Use a digital dollar card

I presume his father is in the UK ?....

Get him to issue you a consent letter + biometric data page of his passport (to avoid overzealous officials, feasting on your pocket)........ cheesy

Yes he is. I have his data page, a copy of his visa and CAS letter. Do you have a sample letter for this consent letter? Thank you

Hello. Do you have to book day 2 and 8 test if you are fully vaccinated?
Also do covid test 48hrs before flight.

Trying to avoid cache issues and high prices because of that

Also increased charges due to exchange rate

Use wakanow to book. Their prices and the official website prices are the same. You can use your card to pay or transfer.

I don't have affiliation with these people, COVID test is expensive yes, but that's the price all over Nigeria. If you don't have the money you can just treat it as malaria but once you start seeing severe symptoms, It is better to go for the test. 50k is not worth your life.

In the UK it is also expensive as well, It is around 58 Pounds for 2 Test kits from private companies, day 2 and day 8, I paid for my brother last week when he traveled. He was suppose to Test while in quarantine for 10 days.


Which company did you use please?

Testing for all lab....

... why are you booking days 2 and 8? If fully vaccinated in naija, with the last dose of your vaccination more than 14days, you should book for only day 2 lateral flow test in the UK.

2 years don't need to book any covid test in the UK.
I'm not vaccinated.
