Hebraeem:
Good evening great people, please can someone share a letter of invitation template/sample to invite a parent to the UK on visit visa? Thank you.

dustydee:
Yes you can

Hebraeem:
Hello good people, please I would like to clarify an information even though I understand it may have been discussed here before.

Please can a tier 2 visa holder open a stock and shares account to buy etfs and earn dividends? Does this violate their visa rule in any way if it’s just for investment purposes but will be earning? Will this be considered a form of trading please?

Focus99:
Goodmorning guys.

Is there anyone living in Eastbourne or around Eastbourne that can help me do a viewing? Landlord said any day from 12pm is okay.

I will pay a fee please.

Thank you

Get C of O on your land. That way you're sure of the supremacy (generally speaking) of your ownership against others and even the government if they need take it over (compensation).

There are other types of title you can get but buying land with anything less secure when you're out of the country and there's no physical structure/activity going on on the land is playing with fire.

The unregulated nature of property purchase in Nigeria moreso with lack of access to credit facilities makes it a mine field.
Real estate is almost always bought in cash hence creating a drag on property growth. Except in highbrow areas, you can’t guarantee that those who have cash are willing to buy. Reason why most stick with undeveloped land as it's easier to dispose off. Being a landlord is another wahala.

The devaluation of the naira hasn't helped.

Real estate investment in the west provides a more measured, safe and dependable approach. Regulations are strong. There are huge opportunities in Nigeria, but at the very least, a relatively stable naira is needed

dustydee:
What I did was to show an account statement with enough money to cover the flight fare and some miscellaneous expenses and then added my payslip and accomodation contract to show I can accommodate her and take care of her while here. First visit was for almost 5 months.

rinzylee:
Haha.... I have a couple of plots in lagos from a reputable company though.

I never pay finish.

hustla:
Just go to Twitter and see the tears of people on Twitter about this your ask

Tolzeal:
One of the best ways to invest your money in Nigeria is to buy real estate or land from a reputable company that offers installment payment options. This way, you can avoid the low returns since most commercial banks loan out these money for enterprises for returns. Real estate market prices are not regulated in Nigeria and can increase significantly in a short period of time, especially if you buy from a company that has a good track record and a valid title, preferably a Certificate of Occupancy (COC).

Hebraeem:
Good day everyone, please can someone share the nairaland thread for prospective nursing students if any? Thank you.

gabiomoesu:
Thank you for your answer. I am already studying a degree that would qualify me to work in the Shortage Occupation. In her own case, I just want to know the prospects of her getting hired as an English Teacher here in the UK if she applies for a Skilled Worker Visa. Since you insinuated that it mightn't be difficult for her to secure a job as a teacher in the bolded text above, do you mind telling me how we can go about the process? Or where I can access more information at least? Thanks again.

I'm familiar with the academic route but one alternative will be Tech Nation Visa (exceptional Talent and exceptional Promise). If you have had some tech exposure and tech startup with some certifications here and there (online certifications) and maybe some patents (in application and not necessarily approved) you can give it a try. There is also the peer review path for different professions where you are accessed by your closest regulator - Arts Council, Royal Academy of Engineering etc.

See https://royalsociety.org/grants-schemes-awards/global-talent-visa/ for further guidelines.

I followed the UKRI endorsed funders route since I'm an investigator on an eligible H2020 funded project.

Please note that about 81 Nigerians have gotten the Tech Nation visa as at 2020 (against 270 applicants). There is no cap anymore so that number will definitely increase. See https://technation.io/tech-nation-visa-report-2020/#global-talent-visa

Hope this helps.

dupyshoo:
This visa is for mostly people that do research works . It will be quicker to search online for info.

Mamatukwas:

LagosismyHome:

Examples for people who just finished tier 4 student visa and want to migrate to this category instead of psw

I am not a financial adviser and would not be able to advice you.....

But we have legalities, disclosures, non disclosures, underground and finally illegalities........

Your answer is somewhere in the aforementioned........

Lexusgs430:
Some shares issue dividends, but your level of investments, determines figure......

You can short sell if you want to, or warehouse them (long term investments). Then close, when it attains a figure you are happy with.......

If you buy penny stocks, you don't expect a miracle overnight. You warehouse, if you love to pray, pray.... If you love to fast, fast..... If nah night vigil, vigil shares to rise.......

claremont:
My opinion on this might be controversial, but it is my experience. I wouldn't go as far as saying avoid Nigerians, but I will argue that there are enormous benefits to be gained from mingling with people who are not from your own background. The last time I was on a course which happened to have 2 Nigerians in it, one of them was trying to convert me to his faith.

Aphrodite007:
Yes.

RalphJean:
1. Go to your school website ( probably on your student portal)

2. Check the ‘term dates’ as per your school calendar.

3. If the dates you want to work > 20 h/week are outside of your official school term dates, then you are good to go.

I hope this helps. Any more questions? Ask.
