Please gurus in the house help me.
I want to do 2years MSc pre-registration nursing program in the UK. School fees is about 17k pounds per year. Deposit is 5k.
If I want to pay the deposit right now, please who can break down the remaining total funds that the UKVI will require me to prove access to before they give me visa?
And can my partner bank account be used as the sponsor?

Business partner or boyfriend?

I'm really interested in this topic because I've been contemplating stopping my NHS pension. Is paying NI not enough? That extra 8.5% is somehow jare! Many immigrants in my trust have opted out but I'm still unsure 🤔

Rather than stopping it ...maximise it so that NHS will match it, it's pretty much free money.

Zahra29:
To quote Blair, the bolded is a quixotic fantasy lol.

Many British citizens have paid into the system for decades, and/or are the children of British citizens who paid into the system all their lives. Also, let's not forget that many migrant families do not pay the IHS.

No its not.

No British citizen pays Immigration Health Surcharge AND national insurance at the same time for the period of 5yrs at least.

If the new immigration policy comes into effect many migrant families will pay IHS for 5-15yrs

Let's not forget that there are millions of British citizens who pay nothing but still get free medical treatment.

Zahra29:
Surely this cannot be correct. We've been told numerous times that immigrants don't use the NHS.

Yes they are not using it enough considering the fact that they paid in far more than British citizens

Goke7:
Before visa issuance? Ok o

Yes … it will solve a whole lot of problems…

Goke7:
Revoke access to the school system and report to the home office who in turn cancels visa and this happen very well.

😂 But funny enough I know someone who was still owing after graduation and the school just set a direct debit to collect the balance

That is not a legal action and all you listed above will not recover the money for the university . So to avoid all that the university decided to request for payment upfront

Goke7:
Yes they have every right but does it make financial common sense for every stakeholder in the education sector? I don’t think so and if people default on payment for any reason that’s a different conversation and there are always legal terms and conditions to address that.

Even those who have all the money to drop at once will not do so if there are alternatives and of course there are and will always be alternatives.

What legal course of action do you expect the university to take when an international student failed to pay the school fees?

Mcleo007:
You are missing my point; j[b]ust because I have N60m in my account doesn't mean I can invest it all in education at once[/b], as that doesn't make sense to me. Possessing the funds indicates my ability to support both my tuition and living expenses, rather than serving as direct proof that I intend to invest the entire amount at once for a Master's degree. This is unrelated to the small number of Nigerian students who couldn't afford their tuition, representing a minuscule fraction of Nigerians studying in the UK. A vast majority of Nigerians eventually settle their tuition fees. Let’s not disparage ourselves for the minor issues within our community. It's no laughing matter; numerous universities are facing difficulties due to a shortage of international students.

Bro you still not making sense, the university is not asking you to donate to their charity, they are requesting that you pay your tuition fees as agreed, you were given admission and issued a CAS because to have shown that you met the financial requirement.

Cyberknight:
1. Fees for international students in the UK are high.
2. It is a known fact that the universities set them at that level so as to subsidise home fees.
3. The rules for international students do not specifically contemplate coming to the UK to work to earn one's fees. The rules require upfront evidence of affordability.
4. Universities previously allowed flexible payments because they needed to attract as many internationals as possible. Any university which chooses not to allow flexible payments is not wrong.
5. A UK education for an international student is a luxury, not a necessity.
6. Like every luxury, not everyone will be able to afford it.
7. This is about reality, not sentiment.

Couldn’t agree more

Mcleo007:
Having the full money in one's account as shown via bank statements does not mean one is disposed to throw it all into education, especially as they know the applicants are more likely to be grown adults who possibly would have family. How many Brits can pay 10% of that money at a go. This move is more like them telling people not to bother to go further with the application. Makes no sense at all!

You are not making any sense, do you want to pay the tuition fees or not? The university did not change their policy halfway through the semester, they want their tuition fees paid before the semester starts and they have every right to do that.

Last summer we all witnessed what happened with many Nigerians dragging their universities to media platforms because of tuition fees.

ObaKlaz:
Y'all just think and talk trash, out of animosity and hate.

The same NGO that EVERYONE can track its inflow & outflow of funds because he made it that transparent?
And if you were asked to prove this nonsense with FACTS now, you'd switch to, "Trust me, bro," or another dafter claim.

You flies just don't want to rest this dumb narrative.

This is just hatred, they have nothing to hold him down, they all have to keep running around with some nonsensical false allegations

OneCandleAway:
You're tracking from the website only, lol. Why didn't he come to refute the claim he transfer money to a car dealers account dlfrom the foundation account. Ask anyone in banking and investment, how he can make money from the money. He has invested in Treasury bills if you don't know. Continue defending nonsense

Its really embarrassing reading from ignorant people like you, that NGO bank account is not only live online, he also make it possible for anyone to walk into Zenith bank to request for bank statement of the NGO. Have anyone of running mouth online done that?

Yes he invested 100M of the NGO into TB so as to generate money for the organisation which is legally allowed.

The car business his elder brother runs is based on demand, he is not using his money to buy those cars, people place order with their money through his brother and he delivers because NIGERIANS can trust them, they have what is called integrity

abuhusna1:
You need to be compassionate and stop talking out of emotions. Can you pay such amount for your children in cash or can you yourself pay that in cash yourself. Not even a single British citizen can cough that out so dont be too quick to judge people because it doesnt affect you

Who is being emotional here? You or me? I'm stating facts and you are here asking me to be compassionate about certain set of people wanting to get what they can't afford.

This is exactly why Nigeria is screwed up and may never recover.

You want to study abroad through fraud, where is the money you presented during the visa application?

You see the recent immigration policy change that affected almost anyone that came 3-4 yrs ago? This is the root cause of it and now innocent people are paying the price.

Universities should have started this yrs ago like the Germany blocked account system and this would have helped genuine students.

We can blame the British govt for going back on their promises half way through the process but we are also part of the prob.


Not even a single British citizen can cough? Maybe .or maybe they don't have to worry about that because govt takes care of that. Tinubu will be running again for 2027 and many Nigerians are ready to collect bag of rice and vote for the same party that have destroy that country for yrs.

abuhusna1:
How did we get here ? Asking international students to pay full tuitions

Why not? You applied for student visa with bank statements showing that you have all the money as required, university asking for the money and you are complaining? So was that money you presented during your visa application audios/untouchable loan?

HacheNoire:
Dude just wants to attach importance to himself.

It’s too expensive to arrest him and absolute waste of time.

There is no need for that, VDM is important already, more popular than Tinubu, more relevant than any elected official.

Badb0y4lyf:
You all just listen to VDM narrative fund raising what presidential candidate doesn’t raise funds even Tinubu also do you believe some one running for presidency for the whole Nigeria 36 state won’t spend money is it logistics is it mobilization, is it printing is it delegates, Bro VDM is just running a get rich scheme hoodwinking the public through manipulation.

Have you ever seen a one man political party before? What Sowore is doing is political equivalent of hookup, no feeling or love..just the money.

He runs in every presidential election and get less votes, he organises protect for everything just to keep his social media platform and he newspaper business alive.

Sowore is the part chairman and main candidate, no structure and no accountable. Pure gifting

Badb0y4lyf:
How ring light activist take big pass person wey don Dey do activist since military regime.
All this kids self.

Sowore is a gritter, he has no intention of winning any election, just the money he makes through fun raising

helinues:
The online clout chaser. How people like VDM don't even pay attention to their own activities is what I can't comprehend

You are political irrelevant even at your polling unit. Nobody get your time you this small boy

He is more relevant than all our politicians put together. There is no elected official who has done 1% of what VDM has done since 2023.

lailo:
This boy is biting more than he can chew
President no be your mate oooo

People like you don't deserve a better Nigeria

OneCandleAway:
I've seen through him a long time ago. He's using the foundation funds to do business and invest for himself.

If you are asked to backup this allegation with evidence you will change story,

anonymous081:
Another disadvantage of being from this dead country called Nigeria
Universities are now adding Nigeria to the list of countries required to pay the full tuition fee as deposit for Mres
University of Wolverhampton just sent me a mail regarding my offer saying i will have to pay the full 22k as deposit, and my only offence is being a Nigerian 😂😂

There is NOTHING wrong with this, if you refused to pay then it means that the money you presented during visa application is not available to you.

Secondly... blame this on many Nigerians who will use untouchable loans to get a visa then travel to the UK only to default on their tuition fees.

Thirdly many universities are broke and many will either close down or emerged with other universities to survive because of Govt ant-immigration policy which resulted in less international students choosing the UK.

hush15:
Dey console yourself. If your own opportunity come, use am play kalo kalo...

No embrace am. Dull yourself.

Honestly, Nigerians and truth is two extreme ends. Dey insult person wey life don create options for am. How he uses it is up to him.

You don't know jack about me

He just took a shower and changed clothes, nothing much changed

WIZGUY69:
Travel agents is one of the major problem in the country.

I'm in Portugal since last year and it's not an Eldorado.

If you don't speak Portuguese prepare for tough time.

By the way, where are the travel section mods? They should look into this thread.

@justwise

What happened?

Goke7:
😂 they are calling you brothers and sisters in Christ you still dey vex?

Count me out… they have nothing in common with an average Nigerian, Tommy is looking for another meal ticket from organisations who benefit from religious and ethnic wars, saying things for clicks. Nigerians are dying, not just Christians or Muslims … the insecurity is affecting all Nigerians. People like Tommy are opportunistic with no solution to the problem.

jedisco:
At this point, the nation needs to fix security 'irrespective' of what it takes.

We've been able to fix perennial fuel scarcity, stabilised our exchange rate and now bringing down inflation.
Whether its state police, armed local vigilante groups, mandating education for all school kids, corroborating with nations e.t.c, we need to fix insecurity before it ruins Nigeria.

Security prob in Nigeria is business/politics, some people are benefiting from it so fixing it will not be in their interest

jedisco:
Hehe...When you bring firewood home expect lizards.

What an insult to Nigeria and Nigerians? This grifter wants to start another religious war using Nigeria. What an utter nonsense!!

jedisco:
What surprises me is that a well-established system like this gets very little media attention.

I've always wondered why those islands were popular. Appear they are a sophisticated state-sanctioned means of tax evasion or whitewashing global wealth. The nation has done an almost perfect job of keeping them at arms length while still reaping the benefits of their action

It does not get media attention for obvious reasons… those media houses are owned by people who benefit from the corrupt system… tax havens within British territories are there for a reason.. pointing touch lights on those territories will paint a dark picture of what goes on regarding tax evasion.

Zahra29:
I predict that Cabinet will ask KS tomorrow to set out a timeline for his resignation. Unfortunately I think it might be curtains for Starmer.

The "herd is on the move" and the drip-drip of resignations has started just like when Boris was eventually forced out.

Agree with the bolded. Disloyal bunch, many of whom sabotaged several of KS proposals and then turned around to blame him for inaction and the local elections failure.

This is not going to end well for Labour party, they never learned from what happed to Tory...This is a gift to Reform

RodgersAkpafu:
Won't happen

That will be a political suicide mission

Zahra29:
Labour MPs would rather snap off their fingers lol than call a snap GE because they know Farage will 💯 become PM, likely propped up by the Tories.

Looks like Labour MPs are moving on with the stalking horse to replace Starmer following his speech. Unfortunately doesn't matter who replaces him, even if their "saviour" Burnham (who previously lost 2 Labour leadership contests 🙄 ) somehow manages to get back in (is there even a safe seat in Greater Manchester for him now following the elections), it looks like this Labour govt is toast. Opposition parties will hound them until they call a GE as they will claim the new leader has no mandate, a la Gordon Brown, T May etc

Sigh, quite disheartening only 2 years on from the hope and promise of big change.

They have given up for now and KS was told to resign by September which i don't think he will do. The whole pressure on KS is just political noise and pleasing to Reform. If Labour wants to survive this stormy period they have rally round KS else they will pay heavier price
